SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS

 If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a ditch The Bible tells us that if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a ditch. There is spiritual blindness and physical blindness, just like there is physical sight and spiritual sight/insight. Many have eyes but do not see because things of the spirit are only discerned in the spirit. There needs to be a spiritual awakening; pray for clear spiritual sight, and for spiritual blinders to come off. The blind cannot lead the blind. Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch. Matthew 15:14.   Visit my Website - https://www.vickysforum.com/ Get my free guide: How to forgive someone who has hurt you deeply.  Click Here  to download. To watch YouTube Videos, Click Here .

GOD'S WAYS ARE HIGHER THAN OUR WAYS

 God's thoughts are not our thoughts, nor are our ways His ways

SECOND COMING OF JESUS

 A matter of urgency - Jesus Christ is coming back soon

WE TRUST GOD, NOT MAN

 Why it is better to trust in Lord than to put confidence in man

WORRY

 How to stop worrying Most people are always worrying. We worry about food, clothing, shelter, and education. We worry about our future, where we live, about friendships, relationships, and family. We always want to be in a secure place, and we want a secure future. When we live a life of worry, we lose joy, and become unhappy people. Our inner worry oozes out into our everyday life. It affects the way we interact with others, and may even end up affecting our health. Worry is sickening. It is unhealthy. It shows how much we do not trust in God. We start doing things by our own strength. We start making our own plans; we plan our now, we plan our future. We might fall into an always planning mode if we do not watch out. Worry means we have ourselves on the throne. It can be a sign of pride, arrogance, and rebellion; at attempt to prove self-sufficiency. It may result from deep seated issues. It means we are trying to have our way, that we are doing all we can by our own strength t...

BE STILL

 Be still and know that God is God Stillness! It means being in a place of inner peace, inner quietness, and inner contentment. It means to be in complete peace. It is defined as, "free from disturbance, agitation, or commotion." It does not mean stagnation, it means moving forward despite what is going on on the outside. It is a state of absolute surrender to God. It is a state of recognizing we are nothing without God. We recognize God is all-powerful and we are not. We recognize we do not control other people or the world. We pray and leave everything to God. It means we stop carrying life's burdens on our shoulders. We recognize salvation is a gift and what God requires from us is faith. We are not saved by our works, but by God's grace. When Christ died on the cross, He said it is finished. His death and resurrection means we only have to repent of our sins, acknowledge and accept Him as our Lord and Savior, and we will be saved. When we believe in our hearts tha...

HOW TO BE SECURE

 Being secure in an insecure world  We human beings want to feel secure. We want a secure nation, secure neighborhood, and secure future. We want to feel secure in our families, in our relationships, and in our marriages. We want to be secure in our health and our finances. We want our children to grow up, mature and have a good future. Wanting security means we want a sense of certainty; a sense of knowing. Yet, we live in an uncertain world, where things change in an instant. Natural disasters strike, we lose our finances, we lose our jobs, we lose family and friends - whether through death or through growing apart. Marriages break all around us, relationships fail, friends part and go separate ways. People we were once close to become like strangers. People betray each other left right and center. Human bodies are stricken with illnesses. Mental illnesses are on the rise. People fall into depression, into despair, and into hopelessness. In an instant, our lives can turn aro...

THE POWER OF LETTING GO

 The power of letting go Letting go is difficult. We usually want to hold on to what we know, that which is familiar. We do not want to become uncomfortable, we do not want to face uncertainty. We hold on tightly to what it is that gives us a sense of familiarity. Whether it is a job, a habit, a relationship, a friendship, our past, a certain physical location; it is difficult to venture out. It is difficult to start over. Uncomfortable is uneasy. We ask ourselves: what if we don't make it, what if we do not find another job, what if we do not find another friend, what if the past is all we know? We get into a cycle of worry, of 'what ifs'. It is a disheartening situation. But do we ever wonder if that job is good for us? Is that friendship worth it? Is that habit we are used to edifying? Is the past we are holding on to good for us? There are many things that pull us behind or make us stagnate that we have to get rid of. Growth is painful. Uncertainty is uncomfortable...

FEAR

 Fear Fear is one of the most paralyzing emotions. Fear tells us not to venture out, it tells us bad things will happen, it tells us we should not start something. Most of us live in fear. It is one of the most effective strategies the enemy uses to hold us back. When we live fearful lives, we do not want to face uncertainties, we want to be comfortable. Fear is defined as, "a distressing emotion aroused by impeding danger, evil, pain; whether the threat is real or imagined." Why do we fear so much? We can either have fear or faith. We are told perfect love drives out all fear. We were not brought into this world to fear, we were born to love and worship God, to live fearless lives to our full potential. Yet, most times we give into fear. We feed our minds with fear, we keep saying 'what if'. But what if we confronted our fears? What if we put behind what we think are our shortcomings and do it anyway? What if we look to the One who is the source of all love? How...

FAITH

 Faith Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1 Why is faith so important to a Christian? Because without faith we cannot please God. We have to believe that God is who He says He is. Faith means believing that what God says will come to pass. Faith enables us to believe that what we do not see will indeed happen. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. Hebrews 11:6. Matters of God require us to believe and rest on the Word of God. This goes against the matters of the world whereby people want what they can see, feel, and touch. That was one of the reasons in the Old Testament people made all sorts of images as idols. They wanted a god they could see. Yet, during those times God would reveal Himself to His people in such amazing ways. But still, that was not enough. Within a short period of...
