4 - The Bible, when used right, is practical. It is not a theory.

Greetings in Jesus Name,

The Bible, when used right, is practical. It is not a theory.

Psalms 19:7 -- the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

Isaiah 35:8 -- the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.

My ministry has changed from pastoring to reaching a broader group. There is inside me a strong desire to inspire Apostolic people to live more of their potential. Jesus lived on the leading edge of turning the world to Himself. It was new and He took the blunt of that resistance. His method was to stand up and cry out. The Pharisees didn't like that. He talked with a Galilean accent. He didn't sound smart enough for them.

The Law of the Book
by al friend

The Law of the Book requires movement and follow through. The knowledge on its pages is nothing more than paper and ink. A mind must lay hold on it and take it beyond knowledge into wisdom. Then it becomes a blueprint with power from which to build your life. That is the Law of a Book.

I am making a proclamation! The Book of Luke and the Book of Acts are backed and packed with the integrity of God. Luke and God were partners. The Book of Luke and the Book of Acts seamlessly run together. They have an inspirational effect on the believer. I am a strong believer!

When Luke surrendered his life to the will of God he positioned himself for a journey. You need to position yourself next to Luke's witness in the Bible and make the same journey. If you will walk toward Jesus, in the plan He set out for you in Luke 24:46-47, He will be there waiting to greet you. I'll see you there.

Take Care! This is powerful information.
Three things to consider.

1. We don't treat truth as an idle tale.

Luke 24:11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.

You can have the scripture-- Casting all your cares-- in your mind and still not cast them on Him. That is treating truth as an idle tale. The truth is He has risen.

2. We see ourselves in James mirror.

James 1:23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

You can see your weakness in the scripture and not do anything to improve it.Then you become a hearer only and not a doer, deceiving yourself. To deceive yourself is as bad as it gets.

3. We watch ourselves change by the Spirit of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

It is the practical use of the Bible that rewards us with these benefits. Take advantage of God's purpose for your life.. Seek the Lord for practical wisdom. Become the best you possible. This is a must. We are His witnesses on The Apostolic Cutting Edge and performance is the thing that counts
