The Fear of the LORD is to Hate Evil: Pride, and Arrogancy #shorts [video]

Encouraging message on prayer – on your fellowship, your communion with our LORD. What led to Peter’s denial of Jesus? What would have prevented his fall? What will prevent our falling?

“Watch and Pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 26:41

“Pray without ceasing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:17

One of the main ingredients listed in Scripture for readiness for the return of Christ, is prayer – it is essential (Luke 21:34-36). People who pray in truth before God do not continue in sin, they live in the beauty of the victory that only Jesus Christ can grant to those who count Him important enough to fellowship with Him in prayer. People who pray demonstrate their faith in God. People who pray hate wickedness, deceit, and iniquity of every form. People who pray fear God and love righteousness. People who pray hate what God hates and love what God loves. Praying people walk with God in the Spirit. The love of the God they know, worship, love, and commune with exudes from their being. They walk and talk with the Lord whom they are obeying (Luke 18:1). Jesus is everything to them. These praying disciples of Jesus are looking and prepared for His return at any minute. They are living in eager and burning expectancy of His return – because they love Him (1 John 3:1-3). The Glory of God abides upon them.

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray and not to faint.” Luke 18:1

“Watch and pray” is not a suggestion, but a divine command, and not to be taken lightly. According to Jesus, these two ingredients are essential in the life of the believer who is to “endure unto the end” (Matt. 24:13). Read Luke 21:34-36.

Make no mistake, prayerlessness is a sin. Prayerlessness is direct disobedience to the command of God. Prayerlessness is a manifestation of faithlessness. Prayerlessness is the epitome of self-trust and self-dependency. Prayerlessness is the rejection of God in your life – the refusal to love, to seek, to worship, and to trust Him. No need to seek God in prayer when pride and self-sufficiency reign on the throne of one’s heart.

“Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.” Jeremiah 17:5

Mark 14 traces the steps to lapsing (sliding backwards) in ones relationship with the Lord. If a disciple lacks fervency in his heart toward God, the reason for his cold heart is found in this chapter. There is no mystery. First, Peter neglects His communion with God by falling asleep during prayer time. He chose prayerlessness which led to powerlessness. Because of his failure, he “followeth him (Jesus) afar off,” warms up to the world, then denies His Lord under intense pressure. One thing leads to another. Prayer failure leads to power failure. Little prayer, little power. Lotta prayer, lotta power. For Peter, remorse ensued, then repentance. (Outline this scenario in Mark 14 – you will be blessed.) What led to Peter’s denial of Christ? Is this not exactly why we deny Christ the reign in our own lives?

On earth we live under divers daily temptations. Satan is still loose. Those who love God will prove/demonstrate their love for Him by overcoming. They refuse to leave their “first love” (Revelation 2:4-5; 1 John 2:3-6). These will live forever with Him. They manifest their love for Him – by communing with Him. The genuine nature of their faith is proven in their daily actions. Their faith is real. They bring all their weaknesses, fears, sins, insecurities and doubts to their Lord in prayer communion. He cleanses, assures, strengthens and makes joyful their hearts because they trust in Him (Ephesians 5:26). In that hour when they meet the Savior face to face, He will wipe away all their tears and vanquish all their sorrows for He loves them and they love Him (Rev. 21:4-7).

“Jesus never taught His disciples how to preach, only how to pray. To know how to speak to God is more than knowing how to speak to people. Power with God is the first thing, not power with people. Christ loves to teach us how to pray.” Andrew Murray, With Christ in the School of Prayer, p. xxiii-xxiv

Memory Verse: “Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving.” Colossians 4:2

Man Shall not Live by Bread Alone [podcast]

“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:” 1 Peter 2:2

“The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.”Psalms 33:11

The graphic message below is from a dear sister in Christ named Cassandra, on SubStack:

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” James 1:22-25

YOUR PRAYER: Holy Father, thank You for finding and forgiving me and saving me into Your eternal family. Help me realize the utter importance of feeding on Your Word daily.

You Are What You Read!

Wanna walk with Jesus? Simple: Get in His Word and do it! “Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.” Revelation 1:3 The Bible here tells us that God will bless those who read and do His Word. While is it essential to do the Word, it is also essential to search the Word of God! How can one know to do God’s will unless He studies and knows it? THE MOST IMPORTANT EDUCATION YOU CAN GET IS TO KNOW […]

H.O.T. BIBLE STUDY [podcast]

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15 Memorize 2 Timothy 2:15 today. Index card perhaps. Read it aloud over and over. YOU cannot personally know the ORIGINAL Gospel if you don’t study the naked truth of it for yourself beloved. KJB So very many today are deceived due to not studying God’s Word for themselves. They live for years with erroneous notions men told them. Instead of repenting and getting into the Word for themselves, many of them go to their graves having […]

Bible Literacy Series

BIBLE LITERACY SERIES “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” James 1:22 Overall Bible knowledge is extremely important and yet obedience to the simple truths of our LORD is even more important (Matthew 7:21; John 14:15, 21; 15:14; 17:3; James 1:22; 1 John 2:4-6; 3:18, etc.). Most of us have seen many people who were very knowledgeable in the Word who later fall away because they left their “first love”, (Revelation 2:4-5) They ceased from doing the basic things consistent with staying in close fellowship with Jesus that are required of us […]

The Prayer Life of Jesus [podcast]

Prayer is communion, communing with God. Those who earnestly seek God in prayer, who earnestly seek to know Him and to fulfill His will for their temporary lives in this world…. will glorify Him here and to be with Him eternally.

What do we learn from the prayer life of our LORD Jesus?

“Luke 5:16 PRAYERS OF JESUS. Luke stresses more than the other gospels the place of prayer in the life and work of Jesus. When the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus at the Jordan, He was ‘praying’ (3:21), at times He withdrew from the multitudes ‘and prayed (5:16); ‘and He continued all night in prayer before choosing the twelve disciples (6:12). He was ‘alone praying’ before He asked His disciples an important question (9:18); at His transfiguration He climbed the mountain ‘to pray’ (9:28); the actual transfiguration occurred while ‘he prayed’ (9:29); and He ‘was praying’ just before He taught the disciple’s the Lord’s Prayer (11:1). In Gethsemane He ‘prayed more earnestly’ (22:44); on the cross He prayed for others (23:34); and His last words uttered before His death were a prayer (23:46). Luke also mentions that He prayed after His resurrection (24:30).

In examining the life of Jesus in the other Gospels, we note that He prayed before extending the invitation, “Come unto me, all ye that labour …’ (Mat. 11:25-28); He prayed at Lazarus’s tomb (John 11:41-42), for Peter (Luke 22:32), and during the institution of the Lord’s Supper (John 17).” Life in the Spirit Study Bible

“And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.” Matthew 14:23

“14:23 PRAY ALONE. While on earth, Jesus often sought time to be alone with God (cf. Mark 1:35; 6:46; 5:16; 6:12; 9:18; 22:41-42; Heb. 5:7). Time alone with God is essential to the spiritual well-being of every believer. We must continually remember that the lack of desire for solitary prayer to our heavenly Father is an unmistakable sign that the spiritual life within us is in a process of decline. If this is happening, we must turn from all that offends the Lord and renew our commitment to persevere in seeking God and His saving grace.” Life in the Spirit Study Bible

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;” Luke 18:1

“18:1 MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY. Jesus was frequently concerned that His followers pray continually in order to accomplish God’s will for their lives. From this parable of the widow who persevered we learn several things; (1) We must persevere in prayer with regard to all matters until Jesus returns (vv 7-8; Rom. 12:12; Eph. 6:18; Col. 4:2; 1 Thess. 5:17). (2) In this life we have an adversary (v. 3), Satan (1 Pet. 5:8). Prayer can protect us from the evil one (Mat. 6:13). (3) In our prayers we should cry out against sin and for justice (v 7). (4) Persistent prayer is counted as faith (v. 8). (5) In the final days before the return of Christ, there will be increased diabolical opposition to the prayers of the faithful (1 Tim. 4:1). Because of Satan and the pleasures of the world many will cease having a persistent prayer life (8:14; Mat. 13:22; Mark 4:19).” Life in the Spirit Study Bible

SUMMATION you might ask?

Following Jesus by living a life of prayer with the Father and Himself – living your life in complete submission to and dependency upon the LORD …. daily declaring with John the Baptist that “He must increase, but I must decrease” (John 3:30).

“I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.” John 5:30

“Pray without ceasing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Be persistent. Be relentless – in praying, communing with your God!

Read aloud, begin to memorize and live out:

“Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.” 1 Chronicles 16:11

The Paramount Importance of Knowing God [podcast]

Many false prophets have written best selling books and taught sermons about your “purpose” and have become multi millionaires doing so. In their fake ministries it’s ALL about YOU, YOU are enthroned, not Christ! (Colossians 2:18-19). This is the spirit of antichrist at work—where someone, anyone or anything is exalted above JESUS! Yet astoundingly, these deceivers never even mention the paramount divine purpose that God sent His only begotten Son, the very reason the LORD created you. —To know Him! “Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:7 Coming to “the knowledge […]

WHAT'S On Jesus' Prayer List? [podcast]

What Did Jesus Pray for His People? John 17 – knowing Him. Being one with Him and the Father and one another. Jesus prayed the highest priorities of the Father for His people as is recorded in John 17. Jesus’ High Priestly Prayer – John 17 “Jesus’ prayer in John 17, often called the “High Priestly Prayer,” is a profound discourse to God before His crucifixion, focusing on His own glorification, the protection and unity of His disciples, and the future unity of all believers, emphasizing eternal life through knowing God and Christ, and asking for believers to be set […]

The Cardinal Characteristic of Knowing God [podcast]

The word “love” appears 311 times in God’s Word. It’s one thing to know the Bible. It’s another thing to know the God of the Bible. “Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.” Deuteronomy 13:4 This is why He created you – to know Him. “And this is life eternal (the whole purpose for it), that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3 The disciple has nothing more important […]
