Quick to hear. Slow to speak. Slow to anger. James 1:19

-
TRUTH AND PROOF THAT I NEED YOU JESUS. I WISHED THIS DESCRIBED ME. I FEEL THAT IN THIS DAY AND AGE, EVERYONE JUST WANTS TO BE HEARD. NO ROOM FOR LISTENING, JUST FAST TALK AND DISCORD. 

DEAR LORD, PLEASE HELP ME TO NOT BE IN A HURRY. TO TAKE TIME TO LISTEN, AND TO ALLOW YOU ROOM IN ME TO SHAPE MY THOUGHTS AND RESPONSES. GIVE ME THE PATIENCE TO WAIT ON YOU. HUMBLE ME SO THAT YOUR WORD IS IMPLANTED IN ME SO THAT I MAY BE A DOER

 “Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” — ‭‭James‬ ‭1:19-22‬‬

“He personally carried out sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and love for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.” 1 Peter 2:24 NLT Title - “The Collision of God and Sin” Underlines: “He made a way for every person to have fellowship with God.” “The Cross was not something that happened to Jesus - He came to die…” “The Cross is the central event in time and eternity, and the answer to all the problems of both.” “The Cross was the place where God and sinful man merged with a tremendous collision and where the way to life was opened. But all the cost and pain was absorbed by the heart of God.” Notes: -fellowship -He came to die -thank you  I wrote a note in my Bible by 1 Peter 2:24 - “Jesus Submitted”. Today was a great reminder that He submitted to this plan long before He was incarnate. He came to die, and bore all the pain and cost of it…

“Then Jesus went with them to the olive grove called Gethsemane, and he said, … ‘Stay here and keep watch with me.’” Matthew 26:36,38 NLT Title - “His Agony and Our Access” Underlines: “Gethsemane and Calvary represent something totally unique - they are the gateway into life for us.” “The agony in Gethsemane was the agony of the Son of God in fulfilling His destiny as the Savior of the world. The veil is pulled back here to reveal all that it cost Him to make it possible for us to become sons of God. His agony was the basis for the simplicity of our salvation. The Cross of Christ…” Notes: -fully God and fully man  He knew His Father’s will and would fulfill it. As the Son of God, He knew this. As a man He struggled with the emotion, or weight, of the pain and suffering He was about to go through.  “His concern here was that He might not get through this struggle as the Son of Man. He was confident of getting through it as the Son of God - Satan could not touch Him there.” Our...

“‘Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road, has sent me so that you might regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.’” Acts 9:17 NLT Title - “The Glory That’s Unsurpassed” Underlines: “When Paul received his sight, he also received spiritual insight into the Person or Jesus Christ.” “…maintain a strong degree of character in our lives…” “The lasting characteristic of a spiritual man is the ability to understand correctly the meaning of the Lord Jesus Christ in his life, and the ability to explain the purposes of God to others.” “Never allow anything to divert you from your insight into Jesus Christ. It is the true test of whether you are spiritual or not. To be unspiritual means that other things have a growing fascination for you.” Notes: -are your spiritual or unspiritual -fascinated with Christ, or other things  -after God’s own heart or your own desires  We must be seeking the mind of Christ constantly. All else will fade away. His Glory is ...
