Gray Hair

In church the other night looking over the audience; something interesting caught my eye! “All I could see was gray heads and occasionally a younger head." Immediately, the spirit spoke to me saying “A Sea of Gray Heads”.  I pondered the significant of gray hair; I decided to research gray hair in the bible. A preacher said once a church without young people is a dying church. This can be viewed in many ways. Are young people getting the teaching they need to know that God is their life and without him there is no life? Are the Elder's missing the mark? Is the Word of God being stressed as a need for survival? God’s word is an instructor, a peace provider, a friend, a burden bearer and a confronter through your entire life. I found more scriptures than I realized on the subject of gray hair.  These two specifically (Proverb 16:31 Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained in the way of righteousness. Proverbs 20:29 the glory of young men is their strength, gray hair the splendor of the old.

Scriptures for reference; Genesis 42:38, 44:29, 44:31, Deuteronomy 32:35, I King 2:6 & 9, Job 15:10, Isaiah 46: 4, and Hosea 7:9

Who would dare call God a liar?  The Word clearly states: Matthew 24:36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.
Mark 13:32 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Acts 1: 7 And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.

Body, Soul and Spirit

“It is well with my Soul.” An old Negro quote, we had become accustomed to hearing. Is it well with your soul or has this desire become as farfetched as the traditional hymn. The body, soul and spirit are your human make up. Your Body is made from dirt;the earth where it will return at death. Your soul is actually you; it will either go to heaven or hell. Your decisions and way of life will be the determining factor. Your Spirit, which you received from God himself, when he blew life into the nostril of man.

Genesis 2:7  And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul

Revelation 7: 9-12

 

In Sunday school this past Sunday, we were studying one of John’s visions where he saw 144,000 and another great multitude, which no man can number crying in a loud voice giving GOD thankful worship. It says not only were the great multitude worshiping God but so were the angels who stood about the throne.

 It has been for many years told that it was only 144,000 that were seen. However, there was another multitude of nations, kindreds, people and tongues standing before the throne. It is wonderful to know that John’s vision showed others before God in the heavens. The multitude was giving thanks for their salvation and the Angels joined in the worship. Oh, what a time it is going to be in heaven.  

Studying the bible clarifies a lot that have been said over the year. Study the Bible to show yourself approved.

Works of the Flesh

Galatians 5:19-21

 works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Prayer changes Things

I was reading an article today on domestic violence. All of sudden a gloom came over me. Remembering when I was in this situation.  The article was a perfect description of me and my reaction. Why don’t we leave? Why do we make up excuses for the abuse? It was only by the grace of God that I got out with my life. Only prayer saved me. Praying in supplication everyday. God heard my prayer.

Fruits of the Spirit

Galatians 5
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

The Gifts of the Spirit

1 Corinthians 12:

⁴Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.  ⁵And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. ⁶And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.  ⁷But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. ⁸For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; ⁹To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; ¹⁰To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: ¹¹But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
