God bless… 2 Samuel 7:20-29 KJV‬‬ [20] And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord GOD, KNOWEST THY SERVANT. [21] For thy word’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make THY SERVANT KNOW THEM.

‭-Jihn MacArthur “Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life.” – Proverbs 4:23 ‭”For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: all these evil things come from within, and defile the man.” – Jesus Mark 7:21-23 Don’t focus on reforming systems at the expense of the gospel.

God bless… If you are on … Continue reading Just read my 1st chapter of The Complete Works of E.M. Bounds on Prayer

Humble yourselves…and He shall lift you up

‭‭[3] Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. [4] Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. [5] Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? [6] But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. [7] Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will … Continue reading Humble yourselves…and He shall lift you up
