KNOWING GOD'S PLAN
John 1:23, "He said, I [am] the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias."
JOHN 1:19-36
John knew who he was and what he was called to do. This was one of the keys to his success.
Unlike most of us, John did not have an identity crisis growing up. He knew God's plan and purpose for his life from the beginning and he spent his...

I KNOW I AM CONSTANTLY TALKING ABOUT READING AND STUDYING THE BIBLE AND WHEN I CAME ACROSS THE FOLLOWING VERSE, I WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH YOU. EPHESIANS 5: 6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
I LOOKED UP THE WORD "VAIN" TO GET A CLEAR PICTURE OF WHAT IT REALLY MEANS AND FOUND THIS: "Empty; worthless; having no substance, value or importance. THIS IS WHAT PAUL WAS TALKING ABOUT IN VERSE 6, NOT LETTING ANYONE DECEIVE YOU. THERE ARE A LOT OF FALSE TEACHERS AND PREACHERS OUT THERE DECEIVING PEOPLE WITH VAIN WORDS. THIS IS WHY WE HAVE TO KNOW WHAT IS IN GOD'S WORD BECAUSE HE ALSO SAYS...

SHARING OUR FAITH
John 1:41, "He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ."
JOHN 1:37-42
Andrew was the first disciple of Jesus to share his faith and bring another to Christ. And look who it was that he brought.
Peter became one of the greatest apostles of Jesus. He preached on the day of Pentecost and saw 3,000 born again. He...

SETTLING OUR DOUBTS
John 1:46, "And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see."
JOHN 1:43-51
Nathanael suffered from a skepticism that afflicts many people today.
However, it is to his credit that he came to the Lord and gave Him a chance to prove who He was.
We can only...

DO WHAT HE SAYS
John 2:5, "His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do [it]."
JOHN 2:1-11
Mary knew Jesus as no one else did at this point. The Bible supplies no details of the childhood of Jesus except his trip to Jerusalem at twelve years of age, but it is certain that Mary knew Jesus was no ordinary man. Her request of Jesus to provide the guests with more wine reflects her belief that He could do things others could not.

FROM ANDREW WOMMACK MINISTRIES
Matthew 24:4 "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you."
Deception can be avoided or else Jesus would not have said, "Take heed that no man deceive you." Satan can only deceive those who allow him to do it.
Ephesians 6:11 tells us to "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." Putting on the whole armour of God will protect you from the...

A member of a certain church, who previously had been attending services regularly, stopped going. After a few weeks, the preacher decided to visit him.
It was a chilly evening. The pastor found the man at home alone, sitting before a blazing fire. Guessing the reason for his preacher's visit, the man welcomed him, led him to a comfortable chair near the fireplace... and waited.
The preacher made himself at home but said nothing . In the grave silence, he contemplated the dance of the flames around the burning logs. After some minutes, the preacher took the fire tongs, carefully picked up a brightly burning ember and placed it to one side of the hearth all alone, then he sat back in his chair, still silent.
The host watched all...

BASE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS ON GOD
Matthew 24:12 "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold."
The only reason that an abundance of iniquity would make anyone's love for the Lord wax cold, is if he were not separated from that iniquity. As with Lot, a righteous man can vex his soul from day to day by hearing and seeing the unlawful deeds of the ungodly (2 Pet. 2:8).
We have to deal with the world's system and those in it, but we need to be careful and maintain proper balance. We should shun relationships with those who influence us negatively more than...
