Acts 9 : 1 – 2, Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. - NKJV 2 Corinthians 7 : 2, Open your hearts to us. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have cheated no one. - NKJV Before the Lord saved Saul of Tarsus, he persecuted and imprisoned believers who were of the Way. The Way was the name of those who were a part of the early church. It was Saul who held the coats of those who stoned Stephen. His crime: He preached the truth that struck deeply into their hearts and for this, he died. Saul had done so many horrible things to Christians, and they greatly feared him. He was passionate about his belief in Judaism.  He viewed the spread of Christianity as a threat to his religion; however, all that changed while he was riding to D...

Hosea 4 : 6, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. - NKJV 2 Corinthians 10 : 3 – 5, For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ… - NKJV If you are a believer in Christ, it is imperative that you become a disciple of His teachings. As we learn from the verses above, the enemy will try to pull us away from the life that is contained in God’s word that he might destroy our lives. Jesus tells us in John 17 : 3, eternal life is to know the true God and Jesus Christ, whom God sent into the world. The only we can know God, and Jesus is through His written word. One of the functions of the Holy Spirit is to reveal and confirm the truth to us from scripture. As we come to know the truth, we will be able ...

James 4 : 1 – 3, Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. -NKJV Isaiah 55 : 2, Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in abundance. -NKJV The Apostle Peter writes in his letter that Satan goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Jesus teaches in John 10 that He has come that we might have life and enjoy it to the full. You will notice that God wants us to have life and to be satisfied.
