Encounter #14:
What Am I Hearing?
Read: Mark 4:21-25

Jesus came to reveal, not to conceal. There is nothing shady about what God says. God is light. His light overcomes the darkness. A lamp is to shine.
Truth shines through the darkness. We are to understand the truths of God's Word. Jesus does not have secret agent disciples! We are not to be fearful of being a witness for Jesus on our jobs, in school, at home and wherever we go. As believers, we have the truth: Jesus and His Word. Be attentive of what you are hearing from the Word. Pay attention and listen to what God is saying. The more you hear the Word, the more revelation you will receive from the Word.

Don't loose what you have heard from the Word. We are responsible for what we hear. The early church gladly received the Word (Acts 2:41). Some received the Word with eagerness of mind and continued to search the Scriptures (Acts 17:11). You have Pastors and godly leaders who can help you understand the Bible better. The Ethiopian needed Philip to help him (Acts 8:30,31). The jailer needed Paul and Silas to instruct him on salvation (Acts 16:30,31). The more we hear, the more we will receive.

God doesn't want His Word to be hidden to you, or others. What He has revealed to you, tell others. Don't hide the truth that God has revealed to you. If it is in the Word, it is truth. The Holy Spirit will guide you. Open your “ears” to what the Holy Spirit speaks to you from the Word. The Word and the Holy Spirit will never contradict one another.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word. Give me understanding of it so I may know it and share it with others. Help me to hear what you are saying to me. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Application: Read the Bible daily. Read one chapter from the Old Testament and one chapter from the New Testament. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you.
Encounter Jesus: Jesus wants to shine His love and understanding on you. Receive His wisdom and truth that He gives to you through His Holy Spirit. He will help you to hear and understand His Word more clearly. Receive His anointing now.

 Awake or Woke? Gen. 2:18-25 Rom. 13:11-14 Rev. 19:5-10 1 Tim. 4:3 The Bible teaches that Homosexuality is sin. It is unnatural. Ungodly. An abomination to God. Marriage is between a biological male and a biological female only. Same-sex marriages are a sin. There are only 2 genders: Male and female. Abortion is murder. All lives matter to God. Awake to the Truth. Don't be a part of the Woke agenda. Jesus is the only way to heave, Heaven is real. Hell is hot. The Bible is God's only Word. Awake to God's Word. Don't be Woke.....

Good and Evil:  Gen. 2:8-17; 3:1-7,22-24. Adam was told not to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. His wife, Eve and himself ate from it and knew what evil was and were removed from the Garden of Eden. Ever since then,  people are searching for  their "Paradise." They are looking for a "Utopia," a "Paradise,", a "Promised Land," a "Nirvana", without God. They have their own views, religions, and theories on God , sin, Satan, Jesus,  and self.... They delve into cults (Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, Christian Science, Scientology, Hinduism, Buddhism, Mindfulness, Yoga, Meditation, New Age, Occult, etc....). Whenever someone rejects, or is ignorant of the God of the Bible and His Son, Jesus the Messiah, they will try many "paths". But there aremany ways which seem right to people, but they are the ways of death (Pr. 14:12). There is only One Way to God and that is by His Son, Jesus (John 14:6; Acts 4:12).Becaus...

Encounter #12 : God's Family (the Church) Matters Read: Mark: 3:31-35 Jesus' mother and His brothers were outside the house asking to see Him. Jesus had half-brothers and sisters (see Matthew 13:55,56). They didn't believe that Jesus was Messiah and Savior until after His resurrection ( John 7:5). Then, on the Day of Pentecost they were in the Upper Room waiting for the Promise of the Father, the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:4). Jesus asked the multitudes around Him if they knew who were His mother and brothers. He said those who do God's will are part of His family. Believers in Jesus do the will of God from their hearts (Eph. 6:6). Jesus was not disrespectful to His mother Mary, nor to His family. He knew His mother's care, love and devotion. Flesh and blood are important. But sometimes spiritual relationships are more closer. God loves family. The first family was Adam and Eve. Jesus was born into a family through a virgin called Mary. All who ar...
