"RIGHTEOUS JUDDGEMENT" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2021-03-09

Righteous Judgment




Matthew 7:1, 'Judge not, that ye be not judged.'



MATTHEW 7:1-5



There are many examples of people judging others in the scriptures. Paul prayed that our love would abound more and more in all judgment (Phil. 1:9). In light of the scriptures where Jesus and the disciples spoke of judging, it is evident that there must be a right and a wrong type of judging.

In Luke 12:56-57, Jesus uses the words 'discern' and 'judge' interchangeably. A dictionary definition of 'judge' can mean many things from 'condemn' to 'appraise, to form an opinion about; to think or consider.' There is certainly nothing wrong with discerning or appraising a situation or person. Quite the contrary, we need to try the spirits (1 Jn. 4:1)....

"TAKING THOUGHTS - OR NOT" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

Taking Thoughts - Or Not




Matthew 6:31, 'Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?'



MATTHEW 6:25-34



The Greek word used here for 'thought' is 'merimnao' and denotes 'to be anxious or careful'. In this passage, as well as the parallel passage in Luke 12:22-32, Jesus is commanding us not to worry or be anxious about our material needs being met. It would be impossible to have no thought whatsoever about our physical needs. Even Jesus thought about His need for money to pay taxes (Mt. 17:24-27). We are simply not to be preoccupied with thinking about riches or spending our time worrying about necessities. These things will be added unto us as we seek first the Kingdom...

"TALK TO YOUR MOUNTAIN" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

TALK TO YOUR MOUNTAIN


THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF MY FAVORITE MESSAGES AND I TRY TO KEEP PUTTING IT IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS SO EVERYONE CAN UNDERSTAND IT. IT SAYS IN MATTHEW 21:17-22 "And he (JESUS) left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there. Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.

"SINGLENESS OF VISION" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2021-03-07

Singleness Of Vision




MATTHEW 6:24, 'No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.'



MATTHEW 6:22-24



Jesus is speaking of spiritual vision. If we keep our attention (eye) single upon Jesus, the Word, then all that we will be filled with is the light of His Word (Jn. 1:1-14; Ps. 119:105). The key to victory is this singleness of purpose (Phil. 3:13). The strength of the laser lies in the fact that all of the light is concentrated on one single point. Likewise, the strength of the Christian lies in how single his or her vision is upon Jesus, 'the author and finisher of our faith.' (Heb. 12:1-3)

You may have God...


Knowing God Is Our Greatest Treasure




Matthew 6:21, 'For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.'



MATTHEW 6:19-21



If isolated from the rest of God's Word, there are some scriptures that could be interpreted to mean that having money or wealth is wrong. However there are other scriptures that speak of riches as a blessing. The harmony between these two apparently opposite positions is that money is neither good nor bad. It is the love of money that is the root of all evil, and many have committed the sin of loving money who don't even have a dime (1 Tim. 6:10)! The love of things (covetousness) is idolatry, and this is what Jesus is addressing.

Because it is so easy to lust after money and the things it can provide,...

"GOD'S WORD" BY DAVID MCMILLEN


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2021-03-06

GOD'S WORD

DO YOU THINK WE NEED GOD'S WORD IN OUR HEARTS TO PROTECT US FROM SICKNESS OR ANYTHING ELSE? SURE WE DO!!! MATTHEW 10:8 SAYS "Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give." JESUS ALSO SAYS IN MATTHEW 16:18 THAT WE "shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." IT DOESN'T SAY YOU CAN'T LAY HANDS ON YOURSELF. IT DOESN'T SAY THAT HE WILL DO IT EITHER. HE TOLD US TO DO IT. HE HAS GIVEN US THAT POWER IF WE WILL JUST USE IT. HOWEVER, HOW CAN WE USE IT IF WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT? HOW ELSE CAN WE DEFEAT THE DEVIL? WE HAVE TO USE GOD'S WORD.



"WE MUST CONTROL OUR TONGUE" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

WE MUST CONTROL OUR TONGUE

 

I WAS DOING A STUDY ON THE BOOK OF JAMES, SPECIFICALLY ON THE "TONGUE". THE WHOLE BIBLE HAS A LOT TO SAY ABOUT THE TONGUE. PSALM 34:13 SAYS "Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile." THAT OLD SAYING "STICKS AND STONES MAY BREAK MY BONES BUT WORDS CAN NEVER HURT ME" IS A LIE OF THE DEVIL. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU SAID SOMETHING TO SOMEONE AND AS SOON AS THE WORDS WERE OUT OF YOUR MOUTH YOU REGRETTED IT? HOW MANY TIMES HAS SOMEONE SAID SOMETHING TO YOU OR ABOUT YOU THAT REALLY HURT? THE TONGUE IS A POWERFUL THING. IT CAN BE POWERFUL FOR GOOD AND AGAINST EVIL. TO SHOW YOU HOW POWERFUL THE TONGUE IS, I AM GOING TO COPY BELOW THE...

"THE BENEFITS OF FASTING" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2021-03-05

The Benefits Of Fasting




MATTHEW 6:16, 'Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.'



MATTHEW 6:14-18



It was a Jewish custom to anoint one's self with olive oil and in Jesus' day it was apparently customary to anoint the heads of your guests, also (Lk. 7:46). At times ointment or perfumes were used in this personal anointing. A lack of having one's head anointed was associated with mourning or sorrow.

Jesus is saying that there should be no external sign of fasting or sorrow, but it should be done secretly to the Lord to receive a full reward. Paul stated in 1 Corinthians 7:5, that...
