Walk The Bible

Read Psalms 37:4 "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart" While I was going through Psalms 37, I came across this wonderful promise of God that assures that He will bring to pass the desires of our heart. Isn't it wonderful to know that God will fulfill our desires, dreams and plans. I am sure many of us would have wondered why our prayers are not being answered. This is one of the promises that gives key to prayers that brings an answer from God. The key to answered prayers and fulfilled heart's desires is " Delighting yourself in the Lord " What does it mean to delight in the Lord? What are the practical ways one can delight himself in the Lord? Here are some ways that we could delight in the Lord: Delighting in the Law of God (Commands, instructions) Psalms 1:2 Obedience to the Lord Delighting in God's promises, having confidence that He will fulfill them In spending time with the Lord through prayers and Bible Stu

It was around 5AM on 3rd May 2012, while I was traveling in the bus that the bus met with an accident when a truck almost collided with the bus. The truck went on scraping the side of the bus, leaving the front glasses of the bus broken and very few minor injuries to 2 or 3 passengers. If it would have been another 2 or 3 inches inside, it would have been a major accident. I was thanking God for His protection and watching over us. To day morning, while I was driving to the church, a car comes in the opposite direction (even though the road I was traveling is supposed to be one-way) and I almost would have hit the car. But in the last minute, we slowed down and escaped the accident. At this point, I was reminded of God's protection over me again and am putting down this testimony to thank God for He is watching over me. Psalms 121 describes God as the Lord, who watches over His people. He neither slumber nor sleep but keeps a watch over His people. I was reminded of this fact in b

Ref: Hebrews 5:7 (AMP) In the days of His flesh [Jesus] offered up definite, special petitions [for that which He not only wanted but needed] and supplications with strong crying and tears to Him Who was [always] able to save Him [out] from death, and He was heard because of His reverence toward God [His godly fear, His piety, in that He shrank from the horrors of separation from the bright presence of the Father]. I am taking directly from the verse: He was heard because: His reverence toward God (Godly fear) He distanced Himself from the horrors of separation from the fellowship of the Father (remember His cry on the cross: Lord, Lord, why have you forsaken me!!!) If  a perfect man like Jesus worried about His separation from the Father, how much more you and I should be concerned about it? Technorati Tags: Jesus , Prayer , Father , Answer , Fear , Fellowship

Read Pslams 27:1 - 3 1 THE LORD is my Light and my Salvation--whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life--of whom shall I be afraid? 2 When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. 3 Though a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, [even then] in this will I be confident. In this Psalm, the author sings with confidence "The Lord is my light and the rock of my salvation. Whom shall I fear, whom shall I fear". Important fact to note is the confidence with which he sings. Many times, we go through our days without confidence and peace that we observe in the psalmist. The author goes to the extent of declaring that he will not be afraid even if an enemy encamps around him or a war comes up. There is a promise in the Bible, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything with prayers and thanksgiving submit your requests to God and the

"In that very hour Jesus was healing many [people] of sicknesses and distressing bodily plagues and evil spirits, and to many who were blind He gave [a free, gracious, joy-giving gift of] sight. " Luke 7:21 When John the Baptist sent his disciples to confirm if Jesus indeed was the expected Messiah, they come to Jesus to ask and at that moment, they saw Jesus healing people from all kinds of infirmities and bondage. Jesus blessed these people unconditionally. Whenever He saw people with infirmities and bondage, He was moved with compassion to heal them and deliver them. No strings were attached for receiving this blessing from Jesus. The above verse indicates that the blessing Jesus gave was free, gracious and something that gave joy. This made me think about what is going on in the world. Most of the times, it is a transaction - you give and then you will be blessed. But that is not what the Bible teaches. Every good and perfect gift comes from the Father of heavenly lights

During the time when Jesus was on this earth, there was a Centurion in the city of Capernaum. One of his bond servants fell ill to the point of death. When he came to know that Jesus was in the city, he sent some men to request Jesus to come to his house and heal the servant. After some time, he sent some more men to implore him not to come under his roof, but just to speak word of healing. What made the centurion to change his mind? The centurion understood the power of word spoken with authority. In his daily life he had been experiencing it when he commands the soldiers and servants under him. "For I also am a man [daily] subject to authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bond servant, Do this, and he does it." Luke 7:8 The same principle he applied towards Jesus. He heard about Jesus - His word carrying authority to forgive sins and heal the sick people. He must have reasoned out that if my word
