AWAITING!! Watching & Praying
THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH
THE HOLY BIBLE - Receive with Meekness the Engrafted
Word, which is able to save your souls.
Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written,
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word
that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is the principle thing;
therefore get wisdom; and with all your getting get
understanding.
Hebrews 4:12 For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and
sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing asunder of soul and
spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the
thoughts and intents of the heart.
My name is Sister Tracey, and I would like everyone to
know that God loved you so much that He gave His
only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, that whosoever
believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting
life. Praise the Lord! My hearts desire is that
everyone will come to the knowledge of the Truth and
be saved. My favorite song growing up in Church was
"I am a Little Scholar." Some of the verses are, 'I am a
Little Scholar, I daily go to School to learn of loving
Jesus, His perfect Holy rule, and all the Scholars love
Him, His school is large and free, come all you humble
sinners and go to school with me. I am a little soldier,
I've listed in the war, fought in many battles, may
fight in many more. And when my warfare's over, I'll
lay my armor down, and fly away with Jesus and wear
a starry crown.' I never imagined as I sang that song
from a child that God would place such a strong desire
for reading and studying His Word in my heart. I
never imagined He would use me to share His Word
with others. I give Him all the Praise and Glory for the
Grace He has bestowed upon me. May someone,
somewhere find peace and understanding as you
explore this site. As you click on my pages may you find
an answer from the Lord that you have been
seeking. And the peace of God, which passes all
understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds
through Jesus Christ. May God richly bless you.
Aw Tozer - The Church: Different From the World
Therefore "Come out from among them and be separate," says the Lord.
"Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you."
--2 Corinthians 6:17
The church's mightiest influence is felt when she is different from
the world in which she lives. Her power lies in her being different,
rises with the degree in which she differs and sinks as the
difference diminishes.
This is so fully and clearly taught in the Scriptures and so well
illustrated in Church history that it is hard to see how we can miss
it. But miss it we do, for we hear constantly that the Church must
try to be as much like the world as possible, excepting, of course,
where the world is too, too sinful....
Let us plant ourselves on the hill of Zion and invite the world to
come over to us, but never under any circumstances will we go over
to them. The cross is the symbol of Christianity, and the cross
speaks of death and separation, never of compromise. No one ever
compromised with a cross. The cross separated between the dead and
the living. The timid and the fearful will cry "Extreme!" and they
will be right. The cross is the essence of all that is extreme and
final. The message of Christ is a call across a gulf from death to
life, from sin to righteousness and from Satan to God. The Set of
the Sail, 35,36.
"Lord, help me to be willing to be different. Forgive me for the sin
of blending in. I pray that our neighbors would see something
different in our church and our people and be drawn to the Savior.
Amen."
YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God. - Born again means
that man has already had a natural birth, but now
must have a Spiritual Birth, which only comes by Faith
in Jesus Christ and what He done at the Cross! Peter
said in 1Pe.1:23, Being born again, not of corruptible
seed, but of incorruptable, by the Word of God, which
lives and abides forever. The Word is the seed that
comes into your heart and causes faith to grow.
Romans 10:8-17 But what saith it? The word is nigh
thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is the
word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt
confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thy heart that God hath raised Him from the
dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man
believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture
saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be
ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew
and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto
all that call upon Him. For whosoever shall call upon
the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall
they call upon Him in whom they have not believed?
and how shall they believe in Him of whom they have
not heard? and how shall they hear without a
Preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be
sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them
that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings
of good things! But they have not all obeyed the gospel.
For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the
word of God.
It is necessary to hear the Word of God. Read your
Bibles and go to Church! Please go to Church, be apart
of the Body of Christ where you will learn to be a True
Blessing to others. Find a Preacher who preaches the
full Gospel of Jesus Christ and Him Crucified! God does
not want your minds to be corrupted from the
simplicity that is in Christ. You see, the Gospel is
simple, but men complicate it by adding to the
Message. So I will close with the pure and simple
Gospel of our Lord. May you take it to heart and
surrender your life to Jesus Christ. Amen.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that
heareth My Word, and believeth on him that sent Me,
hath everlasting life, and shall not come into
condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
John 5:39-40 Search the Scriptures; for in them ye
think ye have eternal life: and they are they which
testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might
have life.
John 6:28-29 Then said they unto Him, What shall we
do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus
answered and said unto them, This is the work of God,
that ye believe on Him whom he hath sent.
John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of
life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger, and he
that believeth on me shall never thirst.
John 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that
everyone that seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may
have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 10:9-10 I am the door: by me if any man enter in,
he shall be saved, and shall go in and out and find
pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to
kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have
life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
And finally, the Scripture of all Scriptures, John 14:6
Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the
life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me. - Of a
truth, I tell you this morning, there is no other way to
Heaven! Budda will not help you, Mohomed want do,
and no not even the Catholic Pope will help you. Only
Jesus Christ, the Lord of Lords and King of Kings.
Hallelujah and Praise the Lord!! I cannot close
out without adding John 8:31-32 Then said Jesus to
those Jews who believed on Him, If ye continue in my
Word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall no
the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Are you free this morning? You can be, Pray this
prayer out loud,....... Heavenly Father, I pray you will
forgive me of all my sins and trespasses. I repent and
ask that you create a right and clean spirit within me.
I believe you died for my sins and you were raised
from the dead. Today I confess with my mouth the Lord
Jesus Christ. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. Thankyou
Father, for saving me in Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
Psalms 150
Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in His Sanctuary: praise Him in the firmament of His power. Praise Him for His mighty acts: praise Him according to His excellent greatness. Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet: praise Him with the psaltery and harp. Praise Him with the timbrel and dance: Praise Him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise Him upon the loud cymbals: praise Him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, Brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
AW TOZER
Prayer: Just Meditate for a Month
But his delight is in the Law of the Lord, and in His Law he meditates day and night. Psalms 1:2
Let the old saints be our example. They came to the Word of God and
meditated. They laid the Bible on the old-fashioned, handmade chair,
got down on the old, scrubbed, board floor and meditated on the Word.
As they waited, faith mounted. The Spirit and faith illuminated.
They had only a Bible with fine print, narrow margins and poor paper,
but they knew their Bible better than some of us do with all of our
helps.
Let's practice the art of Bible meditation.... Let us open our
Bibles, spread them out on a chair and meditate on the Word of God.
It will open itself to us, and the Spirit of God will come and
brood over it.
I do challenge you to meditate, quietly, reverently, prayerfully,
for a month. Put away questions and answers and the filling in of
the blank lines in the portions you haven't been able to understand.
Put all of the cheap trash away and take the Bible, get on your
knees, and in faith, say, "Father, here I am. Begin to teach me!"
The Counselor, 136-137.
As AW Tozer once said, put away the "cheap trash!" The only life sustaining wisdom one needs is the Holy Bible. I challenge everyone, everywhere to put away all religious material and just sit down with the Bible. See what God will do with you!!!!!!!
