Podcast:*** Following after scripture




Joshua 1:8    This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written thereinfor then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

When the Holy Spirit causes our attention to be drawn to a verse of scripture and we think on that verse and on that which we are told to do, and we begin to do what it says, we enter into God's righteousness and HIS way of prosperity and we find good success.

Sometimes we will do that same verse daily for weeks, or months, or years.

This was the case for me when I saw the promise of God in the following scripture and began doing the instruction daily, continually.

James 1:5    If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

I knew that I needed God's wisdom when I read the Bible so I took my Bible and wrote these words over" each chapter:  Pray for God to give you Wisdom

I was very aware of the great wisdom God had given Solomon.


Also I saw in Proverbs many scriptures about God's wisdom.

Now I have seen a promise that if we ask God for wisdom HE will give it to us!

I really wanted to do this all the time.

So as a new Christian in 1975, I set out daily to get wisdom from God.

God explained to me many things from the Bible.

In Matthew 24, when the disciples asked Jesus what the sign would be of HIS coming and the end of the world, 

Jesus said:  Take heed that no man deceive you.  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 

At the end-time, before Jesus returns for the church, many would come saying, "Jesus is Lord,"  and because they say "Jesus is Lord", they would be in a position to deceive many.

When I first read this scripture, I thought they were coming saying they are the Christ.  But if they did that we would not listen to them.

If they come to the church saying, "Jesus is Lord,"  they could work their way in among us and could deceive us. 

Jesus was warning us this would happen in the end.
