Your Best Friend

Micah 2:11 (KJV)

If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.

A Lying Preacher is a Sinner’s Best Friend…

There is a Difference Between Hearing

What You Want

vs.

What You Need…

Support and Empowerment

Is Not  Always a Blessing

But Rather a Curse…

A Lying Prophet is Like Hyperthermia to a Dying Man…

The Warmth and Sleep

Are Much Appreciated…

1 Peter 4:11

Preparation is Everything

Hosea 10:12 (KJV)

Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD,

(till he come and rain righteousness upon you.)

⁃ Hospitals Prepare for Patients

⁃ Mothers Prepare for Babies

⁃ Farmers Prepare for Harvest

And Yet Many Live Their Lives Unprepared for Christ…

God’s Blessings Are Not the Roll of the Dice!

Heaven is Not Vegas.

If You Truly Want God to Rain Down “Righteousness” on You

Then You Need to “Prepare”

The first 8 words of our verse are actually the result of the rest of the verse….

The Prerequisite to the Rain Coming is in the following:

⁃ Break Up Your Fallow Ground

⁃ Seek the Lord

These 2 Things and Then You’ll Be Ready for the Rain of God-

1 Peter 4:11

Just How Many Angels Does God Have?

Revelation 5:11 (KJV)

11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

*100,000,000

(one hundred million) plus + Thousands of Thousands

That’s A Lot of Angels!

It Only Took 2 Angels to Wipe Out 2 Major Cities

Incinerating Them So Severely That Even Smaller Towns Nearby Were Vaporized…

It Took One Angel to Begin Wiping Out Israel Over David’s Sin of Numbering the People…

He Dispatches One Here and Another There-

And These Messengers of God Are Unbelievably Powerful!

Do You Really Think God and His Kingdom Were Ever In Jeopardy? Ha….

Never!

God and His Power are Without Measure….

The Devil Will Never Win!

Do You Need an Angel Today?

Just Ask Him, He Has plenty to Spare…

1 Peter 4:11

Paying the Fare

Jonah 1:3 (KJV)

But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.

Most of the Trips to Heartache Were Paid by Us…

We Often Are Quick to Blame the Devil, Our Spouse and Other People for Our Disparity-

When We Were The One Who Paid For the Fare!

Running from The Will of God vs. What We Want

Can Take you to the Belly of a Whale or the Bottom of the Sea…

The Outcome is and Will Depend on “Repentance“

With Jonah Though He Possibly Never Agreed With God’s Plan,

Nevertheless He Did What God Wanted…

When You Get on a Sinking Ship-

Remember

“You Paid the Fare”

1 Peter 4:11

Venting

Proverbs 29:11 (KJV)

11 A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.

A fool vents all his anger…

A wise man learns to keep quiet.

⁃ Some Call it Venting

⁃ Some Call it Unloading

⁃ Some Call it Therapeutic

But Saying Everything on Your Mind is Just Plain Foolish…

Our Minds Are Gathering Traps for All Thoughts-

All Thoughts Are Not Always Good Thoughts…

Do Not Own Thoughts That Are Harmful and Destructive!

You Will Become and Be Shaped by the Thoughts You Make Your Own…

You Will Not Become Thoughts You Throw Away!

Thoughts Are Like Birds

They’re Only a Problem If You Let Them Land and Build a Nest…

Every Thought is Not of God…

And God is Not in Every Thought…

1 Peter 4:11

The Revelation of “Not”

1 John 3:10 (KJV)

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

Someone Once Declared

“Don’t tell me what I Can (Not) Do- Tell Me What I Can Do”

Though Inspirational and it sounds good-

Do (Not) forget that the Revelation of not (Can)

Lead You to a Positive End!

But Notice the Scripture-

The Revelation of (Not)

Reveals whether you are a child of the devil…

Or a child of God!

Conclusion-

Do Right and Love Your Brother…

1 Peter 4:11

Trusting in Your Own Heart

Proverbs 28:26 (KJV)

He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

A wise man once said only a fool believes he is wise…

And a man who represents himself as his own attorney (counsel)

Has a fool for an Attorney!

Wisdom is Given-

Given by God…

You will never own it-

Like Mana, God will give you just enough for your needs that day…

So no matter your successes you will always be dependent on seeking God daily for some more Wisdom…
