Holy Bible – Words of God

October 19, 2011Written by Joy

I love the iFellowship day. I use it as a day to share scripture that has touched my heart and soul in some way or another. The scripture may come from a sermon from our church, from a devotion I am reading or even from a blog I happened to of read in the past week.

The scriptures I want to share today came from our Associate Pastor, during his sermon on Sunday. He was talking about understanding the word of God. All you need to live is the word of God. The Bible is a road map for your life. What ever problem you have, you can find an answer for it in the bible. The Bible was written by men who were inspired by the holy spirit of God. Everything written in the Bible is true and accurate events that happened!

I encourage you all to take time to read the Bible. I know I am doing my best to spend more time in the Holy Word. If you have any questions, just ask and I will do my best to help explain something if I understand it. If I don’t, then I will ask and find out the answer. Nothing is more important (other than trusting in Jesus), than to read how God expects us to love and raise our family in His Holy Word.

2 Peter 1:16-21

16 For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

17 For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,”

18 we ourselves heard this very voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain.

19 And we have something more sure, the prophetic word, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts,

20 knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation.

21 For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

iFellowship – Praise the Name of the Lord!

Another wonder iFellowship day! I love sharing the Word of God with you all. As I was working on my Blessings post, I came across this Psalm. It makes my soul sing praises to God! We need to praise God all the time. Yes, on a daily basis! No matter what, we need to lift His name in praise! Through good times, but especially through the bad. God is always there for us no matter what. When you are feeling bad and think all is lost, praise God! He will pull you up out of despair!

Psalm 148

Praise the Name of the LORD

1 Praise the LORD!Praise the LORD from the heavens;

praise him in the heights!

2 Praise him, all his angels;

praise him, all his hosts!

3 Praise him, sun and moon,

praise him, all you shining stars!

4 Praise him, you highest heavens,

and you waters above the heavens!

5 Let them praise the name of the LORD!

For he commanded and they were created.

6 And he established them forever and ever;

he gave a decree, and it shall not pass away.[a]

7 Praise the LORD from the earth,

you great sea creatures and all deeps,

8 fire and hail, snow and mist,

stormy wind fulfilling his word!

9 Mountains and all hills,

fruit trees and all cedars!

10 Beasts and all livestock,

creeping things and flying birds!

11 Kings of the earth and all peoples,

princes and all rulers of the earth!

12 Young men and maidens together,

old men and children!

13 Let them praise the name of the LORD,

for his name alone is exalted;

his majesty is above earth and heaven.

14 He has raised up a horn for his people,

praise for all his saints,

for the people of Israel who are near to him.

Praise the LORD!

iFellowship – 1 Chronicles 28:20

September 30, 2011Written by Joy

I am late linking up by a couple of days, but still wanted to post. Praying you all have an awesome weekend!

I talked last week about God’s Provision and shared a few verses with you that shows God will always take care of you. I thought I would share a another verse with you this week.

1 Chronicles 28:20

²⁰Then David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous and do it. Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed, for the LORD God, even my God, is with you. He will not leave you or forsake you, until all the work for the service of the house of the LORD is finished.

That one verse really says it all. Yes, He will never leave or forsake you. If you are belong to Him, if you are a child of God, if you have accepted Him as your Lord and Savior, He will always be there no matter what. Don’t ever forget that. No matter how hard things are, He is the one carrying you through the hard times. He loves you and will always be there for you.
