Prayer of Agur

Image
New Series   (Biblical Prayers for Today!) It has been a few weeks since I wrote anything. But while I was stumbling on the internet, I can across a prayer that rang so deeply in my mind . Because this prayer was so fascinating   I wanted to share it with everyone and make this prayer the first in my Series of Biblical Prayers. Additionally since this is   my first installment of the new year, and the first installment of my series on prayer   I wanted to challenge us with a prayer that would bring us to new levels. I therefore challenge you to pray this prayer until you mean it. Series 5 Prayer 1 The Prayer of Agur ( I dare you to pray this prayer) I would say 95% of all Christians have heard of the prayer of Jabez, but only about 5% of the those Christians would tell you where it's located in the Bible. This is just the opposite with The Prayer of Agur,   of the very few Christians that have heard I would guest that nearly 100 %...

Should We Blindly Accept Whatever Comes from the Pulpit?

Should We Blindly Accept Whatever Comes from the Pulpit? The term Sola Scriptura is the doctrine that says the Holy Bible as we know it; in all its 66 books, Old and New Testaments, is the final, inerrant, authority on all subjects concerning God and His relation to creation. This does not mean that there are no other relevant sources for learning about God, and His relation to creation. ( 1 Corinthians 12:48, Ephesians 4:11 ) Sola Scriptura means if there is an occasion when an alternative source makes a statement which is contrary to what the Bible teaches than the Bible is always without question correct. It naturally goes to reason that the only way to know if an alternative source of learning about God and His relation to creation is in error in its teaching is through knowledge of the Bible. What this means is no matter how much dedication you put toward reading about God, the Holy Bible (Scripture) should make up the majority of that reading.  No matter how muc...

Offenses Will Come

Offenses Will Come Matthews 18:6-7(KJV) But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.   Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! So that we have a better understanding of the what is being said to us let read Matthews 18-6-7  This often heard verse is almost never identified in scripture because of it often mis-uses. miscues, and possibly controlling spirit of those that hide behind it. My personal Commentary ( FireSpeaks ) A mature Christian should never do those thing which would lead a new convert to sin or incorrectly perceive God. This is about how to rightly disciple the new Christian. Jesus Christ wants us to not just tell people about Christ but disciple them to maturity in their faith, not say those things which can cause a...

Tell Oprah God will not share His Glory

“I am the Jehovah: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images” Isaiah 42:8 It is hard to give God's word  rightly and still be liked by men.  so I know there are going to be people that will never read another thing I write because of this. There will be people that will hate me for what I'm writing, However if just one saint would be enlightened, or one unbeliever is made to believe than my words are not in vain.  .  If you were like the millions of people that watched the Oprah farewell and praised her good works, then  read further, because it is important that you understand these few verses that I'm sure everyone knows, and the revelation of them which I believe is given from God. It is so easy to say that God has told you something  but as I always say test the scripture against what I write and let the scripture reveal what is right. So here goes. ...
