And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.” Hosea 4:6 ESV Then I Look it up on the internet and find this website.“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. I cried out to God not understanding why these things were happen to our African American men women and children. I needed to know what in the world was going on with my culture as a African American women. I didn’t need another form where we discuss issues. Feelings of hopelessness and shame sat in and I was hurt by what I was seeing and needed an answer from God. I became overwhelmed with the needs of my community such as youth homelessness, High rates of Substance Use Disorder, Prostitution with our young girls from as young as 12 to 25 and our young African American males being sentence to 20yrs to life for crimes that did not match the charges, The scripture reading ease the burden I was carrying about these issues. I was encouraged to continue my mission in helping the youth in my community after the readings of this post. I am so inspired by your commitment to bring the word so clear and concise. Know and live in the power of being a child of the living God. In doing so let the word of God dwell in your richly that you may know what Jesus Christ has divinely and most graciously given you through the blessings of His divine exchange, at the cross of Calvary. That you may grow in the knowledge of knowing Jesus, and all that he has made available to you by his blessings and his grace. Because we know that God’s word will prevail, it will overcome.ĭo not only know your Bible, but spend time getting to know the God of the Bible. When we get to know more of God’s words and His power we overcome, whatever is thrown at us.
The Bible says in Acts 19: 20 ( KJV) ” So mighty grew that word of God that it prevailed.” God’s word is an over-coming word. Know your Bible, quote it to him, say, ”It is written!” When the devil tries to attack you at your weakest point, your weakest moment. Because of you not knowing, what is yours in Christ Jesus, by the riches of his grace. My friend, don’t let the Devil rob you out of the riches of the Lord because of a lack of knowledge. But she was robbed because of a lack of knowledge. The old woman never knew that she would never have to ask for another penny off anyone, or that her grandchildren would never go hunger again. When he visited the old woman he looked at the framed piece of paper, it was a cheque. The old woman could not read, but thought the design was so pretty that she framed it. He had passed away, and as a gift gave her a piece of paper. She was once a servant in the house of a very rich man. The man was robbed because of a lack of knowledge.Ĭharles Haddon Sprugeon tells the story so beautifully of the time he visited a old woman’s house. The Captain replied, ”Sir the ticket included every meal as well“. The man explained his reason to the Captain. On the last day before the ship reached America the Captain ask him why he had never seen him at meal time. So he brought his won food with him to last the whole journey, from England to America.
Because he thought that his ticket only entitled to his travel on the ship, and the cost of the food was not included. However every night when it was meal time he would stay in his cabin. There was this man in the early 1900 who went on a cruise from England to America. But because we don’t know it, we never truly live in them? Many people are also robbed of blessings that the Bible tells us are ours in Christ Jesus. Each time the Devil tried to trap Jesus, Jesus would respond, ”It is written!” How did Jesus handle this moment? He brought God into it.
The question I put to you dear friends is this, when does the Devil tempts you the most ? Its at your weakest moment, its at your weakest point. One translation says, “he was faint with hunger “. The Devil, the tempter came to him. When Jesus had gone forty days in the desert fasting and praying. Its one thing to know your Bible, but its an other thing to KNOW the God of the Bible.Ĭharles Haddon Spurgeon once said, ”The scripture is our inexhaustible textbook, the Lord Jesus our boundless subject and the Holy Spirit our divine infinite helper“. Hosea 4: 6 ( KJV) My people perish from a lack of knowledge.
