This breaks my heart! May his soul find eternal rest, and May the Lord comfort and sustain the living. |
AngelicBeing:Abi! I'm not even someone who likes to publicize/broadcast my life. I believe what is Private should be kept Private. Thanks for the encouragement! I appreciate! ![]() |
AngelicBeing:I agree with you. Some of them have really based their lives/marriages on the media. They carry their "make-believe" acts even into their marriages. When I see things like this, I'm like "God, Are you sure I wanna get married? It scares me." But then again, I'm encouraged, cos I see that there are still couples out there living well and not making their personal lives, public. |

Culled from Holy Bible App Matthew 12:22-45 2. Go on being filled with the Holy Spirit The words you speak really matter. ‘Every word we speak can either be a brick to build or a bulldozer to destroy’, writes Joyce Meyer. Whatever is stored up in your heart will sooner or later be expressed by your words. Be careful what you look at, read and think about. Fill your heart with good things and you will think good thoughts, speak good words and bear good fruit (v.33). Jesus says, ‘Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. Good people bring good things out of the good stored up in them, and evil people bring evil things out of the evil stored up in them’ (vv.34–35). The context of Jesus’ teaching that ‘out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks’ is his teaching about the Holy Spirit (as opposed to evil spirits). You cannot change your thought patterns on your own. You need the help of the Holy Spirit – filling you with his love and good fruit. I take what Jesus is saying in verses 30–32 to mean that the only ‘unforgivable sin’ is to resist the Holy Spirit throughout your life. Often people worry that they have committed the ‘unforgivable sin’. However, if you are worried about it, it is almost certain you have not committed it. There is no sin that cannot be forgiven if you repent and ask God’s forgiveness. The only ‘unforgivable sin’ is to refuse to repent and turn to Christ, resisting his Holy Spirit throughout your life. Jesus uses a description of how evil spirits work to warn of the danger of turning back to our old lives having cleaned up ‘the house’. Jesus warns that when people return to their old sin, they often do so even more excessively (v.43 onwards), and that ‘the final condition – is worse than the first’ (v.45). The Pharisees and teachers of the law are an example of this (v.38). They have already seen plenty of miraculous signs from Jesus, but they refuse to acknowledge that Jesus’ power is the work of the Holy Spirit. When they say to Jesus, ‘How about a miracle?’ (v.38, MSG), it is as though they are putting Jesus under cross-examination. However, Jesus’ reply turns the tables on them. Comparing himself with the Old Testament prophet Jonah, Jesus is referring to what would soon take place – his death and resurrection three days later (vv.39–40). The resurrection of Jesus is the ultimate sign of his identity. Jesus gives two case studies from the Old Testament to show that the Pharisees already have enough evidence. First, when Jonah preached to the Ninevites they changed their lives. Jesus is greater than Jonah. Second, the Queen of Sheba recognised the wisdom of Solomon. Jesus’ wisdom is greater than that of Solomon. They, and we, need no more evidence. It is the Holy Spirit who gets rid of the demonic powers (v.28). Fight a daily battle to resist evil and ask to be filled with the Holy Spirit. The test of whether your heart is good is what comes out of your mouth. It is out of the ‘overflow of the heart that the mouth speaks’ (v.34). Jesus says to them, ‘You have minds like a snake pit! How do you suppose what you say is worth anything when you are so foul-minded? It’s your heart, not the dictionary, that gives meaning to your words’ (v.34, MSG). The way to make sure that you say the right things is to make sure your heart is full of the Holy Spirit. Prayer: "Lord, help me to fill my heart constantly with good things and guard it from evil. I pray today that you would again fill me with the Holy Spirit." |

Culled from Holy Bible App The Overflow of the Heart For many years I have wanted to meet Billy Graham, but I have never done so. I felt greatly honoured when I discovered he was following me on Twitter! Of course, I followed back! He is one of my heroes of the faith. He is the greatest evangelist of my lifetime. He has spoken to more people about Jesus than anyone else in human history. I have heard Billy Graham speak many, many times. Every single time I have listened to him I have felt inspired. He says that before he speaks he likes to fill his heart. He likes to prepare enough material for five talks so that he can speak ‘out of the overflow’. According to Jesus, the heart really matters: ‘For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks’ (Matthew 12:34). But how do you store up good things in your heart? Proverbs 2:1-11 1. Store up God’s word in your heart Do you long to know God better? Would you like to be wiser, more skilful and to have more knowledge and understanding? I would like to encourage you to make a daily habit of reading God’s word. The writer of Proverbs urges, ‘store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding… For wisdom will enter your heart’ (vv.1–2,10). What do you need to do? You need to ‘store up’ God’s words within you (v.1). You need to ‘accept’ (v.1), listen and apply (v.2), ‘call out’ (v.3) and ‘search’ (v.4). ‘Searching for it like a prospector panning for gold, like an adventurer on a treasure hunt’ (v.4, MSG). This takes time and commitment. Set aside a regular time to read the Bible and put it down in your schedule as a top priority. What does God promise if you do this? You will ‘find the knowledge of God’ (v.5). Because of God’s character he ‘gives wisdom’ and ‘understanding’ (v.6), ‘victory’ (v.7), protection (v.8 ) and ‘discretion’ (v.11). He promises that God will ‘keep his eye on’ you and ‘keep you from making wrong turns or following the bad directions’ (vv.8,12, MSG). Prayer: "Lord, help me each day to spend time with you and to apply the teachings of the Bible to my life." |
