That I May Know Him Journal

How to become a virtuous woman must start with not conforming to this world, but being transformed by the renewing of the mind.   This cannot be done in a carnal state of mind.   It is a spiritual insight of humility and modesty only found through a personal relationship with Christ.   Jesus told Nicodemus in John 3:6 that which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of Spirit is spirit.   When we are reborn in the Spirit we no longer desire things this world has to offer, but seek after things that are pleasing to God.   Becoming a strong virtuous woman takes hard work and a consistent communication with Christ.   God told us in Ezekiel 36:27, that He would put His Spirit within us and cause us to walk in His statutes.   God’s convictions upon my life helps lead me in the direction He wants me to follow.   The more I let go of things in this world the closer I become to my God which is followed by wisdom.   Proverbs 3...

"Can you solve the mysteries of God? Can you discover everything about the Almighty? Job 11:7 We can as we walk in the Spirit as you draw nearer to Him he will reveal things to you just like He did to Paul.    In Ephesian chapter 3 Paul talks about the Mysteries of God. You can naturally read the scriptures, but without God’s Spirit you would never learn the mysteries that His word contains as it is hidden from the natural eye. You must first experience being born again with the Holy Ghost & Fire.  As you walk in the Spirit God will start revealing himself to you just as he did Paul.  Paul was not taught by the other disciples who walked with Jesus for 3 1/2 years.  Paul was given instruction by Jesus himself on the road to Damascus in a vision as described from Paul's own testimony in Acts 9 this was after Jesus ascension into heaven.  In verse 6 Paul asked Jesus what he should do in which Jesus instructed him to go into the city and he will be t...

I had posted this to Everyone's Apostolic Website o n March 5, 2009 at 7:47am , but their site is shutting down to move to Facebook.  John 6:37-47 44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. 46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. 47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. Truly all odds were against me from the time I was born, to be a failure. My parents and siblings are mental challenged except for myself.  I was an odd ball depending on who you ask today. LOL! Some will tell you that I am crazy but I have a good excuse. However I was truly blessed with a good mind. So if that wasn't bad enough because of my parents mental state I was allo...

We cannot always have a great day. There are times we when we are not sure about who we are or what we should do. There are times I feel all alone and blue. There are those days that nothing goes right, and seems like everything you touch turns to stone. I’ve had days that I wished would just end and some days I want to last forever. Though all of this is true, there is one thing that we can ... always be sure of, that “Always” He is with me.  Is 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.  Heb 13:5 : for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

After thoughts of Wednesday nights Bible Study.    This was May 2002 cover of Pentecostal Herald I still have this edition.   I absolutely love the story of the Alabaster Box so here are my thoughts on the subject. How much does Jesus mean to you? Is there things in your life that are causing you to disconnect from Him that would cause you to sell out cheap? It is my prayers to be more like the woman who gave not just an alabaster box of perfume, but she gave him her all that day and not like Judas who in a few verses down sold out so cheaply costing him more than he bargained for.   Matthew 26:6- Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,  7- There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.  8- But when his disciples saw it , they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? 9- For this ointment might have been...

Families are much more than just a group of persons living in one house.  Family is the foundation on which a society is formed.  The basic composition of a family changes from the Old Testament to the New Testament as Jesus provided a new understanding of family.  The household of the New Testament are outlined along with their duties for the members as husband, wife, child, slaves, servants, and others who live there for various reasons.  Understanding the biblical family structures, commitments, and functions are essential to the successfulness of one's society. The structure of the New Testament Christian family starts with God's order for the family to be a man and woman, as husband and wife.  Unlike the Old Testament the New Testament family founded on a love bond experience by both male and female in contrast to the arranged marriages of the Old Testament.  Women were not to be considered property by men, but rather were to be loved and nurtured....

P osted by Sylvia on November 19, 2008 at 8:30am  on Everyone's Apostolic Matthew 6:7-8 7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. Have you ever wanted to pray out loud? You know that intercessors prayer style that makes your very soul chill to the bone when you hear the bro and sis's in the prayer rooms, however you are scared to death to pray outloud, especially with someone around you. Don't worry your not alone a thousand other if not more feel the very same way. Most of the time it is because we just don't know how too and so you think it is just better to stay out of the prayer rooms or prayer meetings or even say a short bedtime and go to bed. This is a must try to help you learn how to become the prayer warrior you long to be. You know the old saying you have t...
