THE BIBLE TEACHES US ABOUT TONGUES:

THE BIBLE TEACHES US ABOUT TONGUES:
The first time tongues are mentioned in the NT they refer to known languages, Acts 2:4, 6, as they do when last mentioned, Rev. 17:15. Many believe tongues were sometimes ecstatic utterances, unintelligible until interpreted, the least of several gifts of the Spirit, 1 Cor. 12:28, 31; 14:5. Several principles for their proper control are given in 1 Cor. 14, which spiritual believers must acknowledge to be the commandments of the Lord, v.37.
1. Five words which can be understood are better than 10,000 in a tongue, v.19.
2. Two or three persons at the most are to speak at any one meeting, v.27.
3. These are to speak one at a time, v.27.
4. No one is to speak in tongues unless an interpreter is present, v.28.
5. Each speaker is to exercise control over himself to avoid confusion, vv. 32, 33.
6. Women are to keep silent in the church, vv. 34, 35. The word “unknown” found in the AV is not in the original text.
It is implied in 1 Cor. 13:11; 14:20 that prophecy is more suited to mature Christians than are tongues. Prophecy is defined as speaking to men to edify, exhort, and comfort them, 14:3. Inasmuch as tongues are associated by some with the baptism or outpouring of the Holy Spirit, it is a notable fact that when the Spirit is poured out after the Lord’s return it leads to prophecy, not tongues, Joel 2:28,2

THE BIBLE SPEAKS ABOUT THE DEATH OF SAINTS:

THE BIBLE SPEAKS ABOUT THE DEATH OF SAINTS:
IS BLESSED Revelation 14:13 I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: From now on those who die believing in the Lord are blessed.” “Yes,” says the Spirit. “Let them rest from their hard work. What they have done goes with them.”
IS GAIN Philippians 1:21 Christ means everything to me in this life, and when I die I’ll have even more.
Precious in God’s sight Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his faithful ones.
The Father’s house. John 14:2 My Father’s house has many rooms. If that were not true, would I have told you that I’m going to prepare a place for you?
Enoch and Elijah were translated into. Genesis 5:24 Enoch walked with God; then he was gone because God took him.
Hebrews 11:5 Faith enabled Enoch to be taken instead of dying. No one could find him, because God had taken him. Scripture states that before Enoch was taken, God was pleased with him.

SPEAKING WITH ANGER RUINS ALL:

SPEAKING WITH ANGER RUINS ALL:
PROVERBS 15:1 A gentle answer turns away rage, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
EPHESIANS 4:31 Get rid of your bitterness, hot tempers, anger, loud quarreling, cursing, and hatred.
COLLOSSIANS 3:8 Also get rid of your anger, hot tempers, hatred, cursing, obscene language, and all similar sins.
JAMES1:19 Remember this, my dear brothers and sisters: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and should not get angry easily.
If we are to have boldness, we must be clean from wrath, that none may impute our words to that. No matter how just your words may be, when you speak with anger, you ruin all.
THINK ABOUT IT. LET US MAINTAIN OUR SELFCONTROL.

THE BIBLE TEACHES ABOUT SECURITY:

adrakes845@yahoo.comLeave a comment
THE BIBLE TEACHES ABOUT SECURITY:
“The security of the believer” is a theological expression based on Scriptural revelations underlying the doctrine of assurance. While this doctrine is rejected by some, others find it of great spiritual value to accept without question what the Bible teaches about the safekeeping of the people of God.
The believer’s life in Christ is said to be everlasting or eternal—that is, it will never end, John 3:16; Rom. 6:23. Believers shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of the Father’s hand, John 10:28, 29. They are said to be “kept by the power of God,” 1 Pet. 1:5; kept for Jesus Christ, Jude 1, RV. Christ declared that all who believe have everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, John 5:24. He is able “to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him,” Heb. 7:25.
The entire Trinity is involved in the safekeeping of Christians. The Father has given believers to the Son, John 17:9. The Son has asked that they be kept, John 17:11, 20. The Holy Spirit is to dwell within every believer forever, John 14:16; 1 Cor. 6:19. These revealed truths have nothing to do with human experience, but only with the divine purpose and promise. Passages which seem, to some, to contradict the doctrine of security are found to be related to rewards, chastisement, and the fact that an absence of good words reveals a lack of genuine faith, Phil. 2:12, 13; 2 Pet. 3:9–17.

JUST A REFRESHER ABOUT GOD’S CHILDREN:

JUST A REFRESHER ABOUT GOD’S CHILDREN:
1 John 3:9-10 Those who have been born from God don’t live sinful lives. What God has said lives in them, and they can’t live sinful lives. They have been born from God. This is the way God’s children are distinguished from the devil’s children. Everyone who doesn’t do what is right or love other believers isn’t God’s child.
1 John 5:18 We know that those who have been born from God don’t go on sinning. Rather, the Son of God protects them, and the evil one can’t harm them.
1 John 2:29 If you know that Christ has God’s approval, you also know that everyone who does what God approves of has been born from God.
1 John 4:7 Dear friends, we must love each other because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born from God and knows God.
1 John 5:1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Messiah has been born from God. Everyone who loves the Father also loves his children.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
SELF-CHECK ARE YOU A CHILD OF GOD?

“I Am No Good in My Eyes or Anyone Else’s”

“I Am No Good in My Eyes or Anyone Else’s”
“But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion.” (Luke 10:33)
Have you ever felt like eyes were all around, watching you? Eyes that silently waited for the next time you slipped up, messed up, or didn’t measure up. Eyes that gave you a haunted, hunted feeling. Eyes that saw you with judgment.
Or maybe they haven’t always been other people’s eyes. Maybe at times they have been your own. When you have been viewed with judgment, sometimes that way of looking finds a home inside your own heart and mind. You routinely look for the negatives in what you have thought and done, and you find them. You regularly second-guess yourself and your motives and are prepared to believe the worst about yourself. You internalize other people’s criticism until it becomes the lens through which you view your own life.
When that happens, it’s a short step to take to assume that this must be how God sees you, too. It just makes sense that he can see every flaw and fault that you can; and if you don’t like what you see, he couldn’t possibly. At the least, he’s got to be deeply disappointed in you. More likely, he’s fed up—right?
Hearing that God loves you won’t mean much if you’re convinced that he’s frustrated and critical, wondering when you’ll get your act together—wondering if you’ll get it together. Little will torpedo your confidence in his love faster or more effectively than believing that he sees you with judgment.
Maybe that’s why Scripture shows you a God who sees people with a compassion so strong that it compels him to help them. Hagar discovers that he’s the seeing God who cares about her in her misery (see Gen. 16:11–13). Moses learns that God is so moved by seeing the Israelites’ misery that he plans to rescue them (see Ex. 3:7‒8). And Jesus, God made flesh, embodied this same combination of traits as he walked on earth. He saw the helpless state of the crowds that flocked to him and had compassion on them, teaching and healing them (see Matt. 9:35–36; 14:14). He was deeply moved when he saw his friend Mary weeping, and he acted to set right what was wrong (see John 11:33).
These aspects of God’s character are so important that Jesus built them into his parables. A Samaritan helps a man who’s been beaten, because he sees him and is filled with compassion (see Luke 10:33). A father runs to greet his wayward child because he is moved with compassion when he sees him return home (see Luke 15:20).
God sees you with compassion. It’s who he is. When you’ve lost confidence in him and believe that he sees you with judgment, you need to remind yourself, “No—he sees me with compassion.” When you cringe and are waiting for someone to rebuke you for what you’ve said or done, remind yourself, “He sees me with compassion.” When that feeling of dread steals over your heart, remind yourself, “He sees me with compassion.” When you’re afraid that you are about to be found out for the fraud that you think you are, remind yourself, “He sees me with compassion.”
Repeat it to yourself—not as a mantra to empty your mind, but as the truth that must fill your soul.
REMEMBER THAT GOD IS WATCHING YOU, AND THAT HE IS WATCHING YOU WITH COMPASSION. REMEMBER GOD WILL MEET YOUR NEEDS.

Those Who Cry for Mercy Obtain the Mercy for Which They Cry
The Lord’s mercy is “great” in character. NUMBERS 14:18-19 ‘The LORD … patient, forever loving.… He forgives wrongdoing and disobedience.… He never lets the guilty go unpunished, punishing children … for their parents’ sins to the third and fourth generation.…’ By your great love, please forgive these people’s sins, as you have been forgiving them from the time they left Egypt until now.”
“Plenteous” in blessing PSALM 86:15 But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and merciful God. You are patient, always faithful and ready to forgive.

“Good” in help PSALM 109:21 O LORD Almighty, deal with me out of the goodness of your name. Rescue me because of your mercy.
“Delighting” in action MICAH 7:18 Who is a God like you? You forgive sin and overlook the rebellion of your faithful people. You will not be angry forever, because you would rather show mercy.
“Tender” in bestowment LUKE 1:78 A new day will dawn on us from above because our God is loving and merciful.
“Rich” in wealth EPHESIANS 2:4 But God is rich in mercy because of his great love for us.
“Abundant” in supply 1 PETER 1:3 Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! God has given us a new birth because of his great mercy. We have been born into a new life that has a confidence which is alive because Jesus Christ has come back to life.
