“By
faith we understand that the worlds, prepared by the word of God, so that what
is seen was not made out of things which are visible” (Heb. 11:3). “All things came into being through Him, and
apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being” (John 1:3).
Hey Gang: I have come up with a great revelation,
although I have really known it for many years, namely, ‘The teacher is the
greatest benefactor of what they are teaching!’
Preparation is indeed a blessing that keeps your focus on the Word. If you really want to grow in the Lord, find
someone to mentor. Seeking new
revelations you can share with the one you are mentoring keeps your mind alert!
I was going back through the
archives and came across several blogs that were dated in December 2010. That
re-rang my bell and I sensed there may be someone out there who is struggling
with who they- are in relation to God’s love.
This next couple weeks I would like
to share with you four Godly principles that someone along the line shared with
me. The message is very easy to
understand, but also so very deep when you dig in and let the Holy Spirit do
the driving.
Most folks who have spent much time
in the Word know that the eleventh Chapter of Hebrews is often referred to as
the ‘faith chapter’. The writer begins
the chapter by commending the people and ended in like manner.
He lays the foundation for what he
is going to say about the people presented by saying: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things
not seen. For by it the men of old
gained approval. By faith we understand
that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so what is seen was not made
out of things which are visible. (vs. 1-3).
Paul also gave us the prerequisites
to faith when he wrote: “If you confess
with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him
from the dead, you will be saved. For
with the heart a person believes, resulting in salvation. (Rom.
10:9-10). Now drop down a couple verses and note Paul’s words: “So faith comes
from hearing and hearing by the word of Christ”.
So my young buckaroos, with this
foundation firmly implanted in our hearts and heads, we will look at three
fantastic Godly principles beginning in the next Gramps Morning Message.
Blessings,
Gramps
