Debby

I heard from my good friend Debby last night. I love this lady. She invites a few of us to her house a couple of times a year and we have Prophetic Girls Gone Wild in the Holy Spirit weekends. We have praise and worship at her house, read and study the Bible and we pray and pray and pray some more, we wait on the Lord and listen. Her gracious husband cooks for us and takes us out to eat..he makes Diet Coke runs...you name it, he does it for us. Kudos to Buddie. Few men can take several women invading their homes on Fri night and departing on Sunday around noon. And he was ok when we messed up his complicated, wide screen, satellite TV by using the incorrect remote. (There were so many to choose from....)

Debby is a woman of the Word, she always has the right Scripture to apply to any situation. Romans 10:17 tells us:

Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.

I know I frequently blog about prayer and staying in the Word, I do so because it is vital in our Christian walk. We want to mature in our relationship with Jesus, we don't just want to believe in Him, we want to believe Him..to believe Him, we must know what he has to say to us...

II Tim 3:15-17 tells us: and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

How would we know our covenant promises if we never read the Bible, how would we know we sinned and needed to repent if we never read the Bible...how could we live in the Resurrection power of God, if we didn't know what it was.

If you have never read the Bible, don't be afraid, I recommend you begin with John 1 and ask the Lord to give you understanding through the power of the Holy Spirit. Join a good Bible Study. If you don't belong to a church, find one where the Gospel is preached in truth and love.

God loves you so much, He sacrificed His Son just for you and just for me...
