JAMES 4:13-17 (TLB)
"Look here, you people who say, "today or tomorrow we are going to such and such a town, stay there a year, and open up a profitable business." How do you know what is going to happen tomorrow? For the length of your lives is as uncertain as the morning fog, now you see it; soon it is gone.

WHY IS THE HONOREE MISSING?

ROMANS 1: 28-2: 1-9 (TLB)

"So it was that when they gave God up and would not even acknowledge Him, God gave them up to doing

2 CHRONICLES 7:14
"If My people who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face, turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."

MATTHEW 24:24
"False church and false prophets will arrive and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible even the elect,"

Doubt the Resurrection, and you have removed all grounds for hope in this life and the life hereafter.

FACT: IF ALL CREATION DENIES THE BODILY RESURRECTION OF JESUS, THEN WE DO NOT HAVE A LIVING CHRIST OR A LIVING WORD OF GOD!

CAN WE FIND AND KNOW THE WILL OF GOD?

  1 JOHN 5:14 (TLB) JESUS SAID..."And we are sure of this, that he will listen to us whenever we ask Him for anything in line with His will."

WITH THAT STATED, LET'S START OUR EXAMINATION AND DISCOVER SOME PERTINENT INFORMATION ABOUT GOD'S WILL...IT'S ALL MADE KNOWN IN HIS WORD!

JESUS CHRIST HAS SAID THE FOLLOWING WORDS, DO YOU KNOW THEM?
(MATTHEW 25:31-32 TLB)

"But when I, the Messiah, shall come in my glory, and all the angels with me, then I shall sit upon my throne of glory.  And all the nations shall be gathered before me.  And I will separate the people as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats."

If our example, Jesus, came to "serve," what does that say about those of us that are to follow in His footprints?  Let's look at Jesus' own words about this subject of serving...
"For even I the Messiah am not here to be served, but to help others and to give my life as a ransom for many." (Mark 10:45 TLB)
Now, let's ponder these words of His, John 20:21...

1 CORINTHIANS 13: 11-12
"When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child, but when I became a man, I put away childish things."

" Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others...the armies of heaven...praising God: Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth to all whom God favors" (Luke 2:13-14).

"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.) Psalm 150:6  "To Thee I shall offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and call upon the name of the Lord." Psalm 116:17

ARE YOU READY TO LIVE FOR CHRIST YET?

1 CORINTHIANS 13: 11-12
"When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child, but when I became a man, I put away childish things."

The word dimly in the Greek implies that our current spiritual perceptions in our earthly state are impaired.  In the ancient world, they did not have the clear glass mirrors we have today.  Mirrors were made of polished medal and the reflection was dim and not very clear.  However, we have advanced to mirrors whereby we can see ourselves clearly.  Likewise, as life goes on we must grow in our Christian walk and grow up spiritually as Paul is telling us in our passage above.

Knowing The Pulse of Gods Heart...

HEART TALK CONCERNING: "THE WALK OF FAITH" -JAMES 1:5-8 (TLB)

"If you want to know what God wants you to do, ask Him, and He will gladly tell you, For he is always ready to give a bountiful supply of wisdom to all who ask Him; He will not resent it. But when you ask Him, be sure you really expect Him to tell you, for a doubtful mind will be as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. And every decision you then will make will be uncertain, as you turn first this way and then that. If you don't ask with faith, don't expect the Lord to give you any solid answer."
