We have to stay in The Word of God.

Because the flesh is always at war with the Spirit to keep you from doing what’s right.

Galatians 5:17 (KJV) – for the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

Many follow trends of the world that can destroy you.

But few go the other direction that find life.

Matthew 7:13-14 (KJV) – enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

We have to truly think about who we serve.

If you’re not serving God, you’re serving satan.

You can’t serve them both.

Its one or the other.

Matthew 6:24 (KJV) – no man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other, or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Many think that God is far away in some distant place.

He is always near.

Psalm 145 18 (KJV) – the Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.

We’re always asking and trusting man for things.

God said ask, seek, knock and trust him to give it to you.

Ask . . . according to his will.

Matthew 7:7 (KJV) – ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you.

We’re compensated for everything that we do.

For your job, its money.

For sin, its death.

For righteousness, its eternal life.

Romans 6:23 (KJV) – for the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

We worry about everything, which we’re not supposed to.

But we are to pray about everything.

Philippians 4:6 (KJV) – be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

When you hear and do what the Word of God says, you can withstand any circumstances.

Matthew 7:24-25 (KJV) – therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

Gives your worries to God and He will give you strength to move forward.

He promised.

Psalm 55:22 (KJV) – cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

Some say, they don’t live to eat, they eat to live.

You may eat to live, but by whatever God says.

Matthew 4:4 (KJV) – 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.
