1 Corinthians 14:33
King James Version
33 For God is not the author of confusion,
but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
That's the beauty of being born again.
We don't get confused.
We have JESUS Who teaches us.
We have SPIRIT Who reminds us of the LORD's laws.
We have Scripture to tell us about GOD, JESUS, and SPIRIT.
We are never at a loss for GOD's WORD.
We know what the past, present, and future are.
Except for when the Rapture will be.
Or when JESUS will return.
Scripture tells us everything we need to know.
SPIRIT helps us discern the times.
Unless you're born again, you'd be lost.
For JESUS is the ONLY WAY to GOD.
We are not ambivalent.
We are sure of what the BIBLE* teaches us.
What is ambivalence?
Merriam-Webster defines it as:
: simultaneous and contradictory attitudes or feelings (such as attraction and repulsion) toward an object, person, or action
: continual fluctuation (as between one thing and its opposite)
: uncertainty as to which approach to follow
And that's what makes everything so exciting.
We know GOD's story, man's story, and his hope for the future.
Whatever happens in the world has all been prophesied.
Before GOD made me born again in 2019, I bought many books.
I studied many things.
That I may understand the times.
That I may be able to discern what's happening.
That I may find ABSOLUTE truth.
Thinking that's the way to go about it.
Did I find it?
Nope.
"Something" was always elusive.
I couldn't seem to get to the "bottom" of it.
Only when I hit rock bottom, did GOD come to my rescue.
But, of course, surrendering means, you repent of your sins.
That you're sick of your old self, and desire real change.
That's how the god of this world "hooks" seekers.
He gives you anything BUT truth.
He gives you many distractions.
CHRIST's enemy wants you lost.
All 24 years of studying since 1995 taught me many things.
Such as "new age" being actually "old" age.
I had pounced upon the "doctrines of devils".
You know how ancient GOD's enemy is.
Now, I shudder to even think about it.
But GOD, in His divine wisdom, took mercy upon me.
He made sure all that "research" was put to good use.
He just allowed it.
He did not admonish me.
He just let me be.
He knew I was searching for something.
I had no idea it was Him.
GOD allows everything, for His PERFECT purpose.
How could this workman be an effective writer, if I had not known that which is NOT of GOD?
GOD let me go through many falls, and challenges.
That I may know better.
All such learning serves my work now.
GOD's WORD tells me ABSOLUTE truth.
SPIRIT guides me to understand Scripture.
And this is where He led me --
All truth comes from JESUS:
John 1:17
King James Version
17 For the law was given by Moses,
but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
The Bible comes from GOD.
2 Timothy 3:16
King James Version
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof,
for correction,
for instruction in righteousness:
Scripture exists for this end goal:
2 Timothy 3:17
King James Version
17 That the man of God may be perfect,
thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Being born again means we will never again be lost.
That is, if we live by the Bible.
And I sure am, and do.
I hope you do, too.
There's nothing quite like it.
Being under the GRACE and GUIDANCE of the LORD.
There's really only JESUS* to look to:
Philippians 4:7
King James Version
7 And the peace of God,
which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus.
*P.S.
I'll let you in on something.
As I went to my link on the word "BIBLE", wifi connection conked out.
The same thing happened when I went to my link on the word "JESUS".
Says much, doesn't it?
But I'm used to it.
My work gets hindered a lot.
Still, it pulls through.
How can it not?
I serve the LIVING GOD.
