It seems like now adays I am saying all the time, "If you call yourself Christian and are not talking about Jesus, God, Holy Spirit, scripture, and all things pertaining to salvation, what is your purpose?" We all see the condition of the people and the world deteriorating in leaps and bounds yet Christians talk about everything but Christ? Shouldn't all of our words be of Him, about Him, and pertain to a life of salvation and love of I AM? Maybe it's because I am older, wiser and on the downhill slope headed home. Fruitless, barren, dead trees are not going to make the grade. Mark 11:20-21 (NIV) - In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!” Matthew 7:13 (NIV) - “Enter through the narrow gate.

My devotionals are what I receive from those conversations. This is my relationship with the Lord, and ministry to the saints.

They must be born of God. Romans 1:16 (KJV) [16] For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 1 Peter 1:5 (KJV) [5] Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. from where does this faith come Romans 10:17 (KJV) [17] So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. for God proclaims Scripture is the power of the work of The Holy Spirit Hebrews 4:12 (KJV) [12] For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. As God alone knows the hearts thus His Word reveals the heart... The charismatic circles down play that the written Word of God is work of Holy Spirit... 2 hours ago, Mr. M said: He clearly states the wisdom contained therein is accessed by the Spirit. Timothy had received that Spirit. He also had a measure of faith instilled in him by his mother and grandmother. "when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also." 2 Timothy 1:5 God is speaking of His Scripture here as noted already the source of faith is Scripture! and further witnessed to: 2 Timothy 3:15 (KJV) [15] And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. this is what grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice supplied Timothy for this faith...

But new understandings are given to us, revealed to us, as God sees fit for us when we seek a deeper relation to him. This is why we are told to seek the kingdom of God first.

These verses comes to mind to feed an eternal soul: Psalms 119:160 (KJV) [160] Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. 1 Peter 1:25 (KJV) [25] But the word of the Lord endureth for ever.
