Word of God 1d: Correction

      I welcome you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I speak the grace and peace of God, along with his blessings and favor into EVERY area of your lives in the name Jesus Christ our Lord. So far the words teaching and rebuking in our word of God series have both been defined and discussed. Now we turn to the word correction to define and expound on. We are going to continue our lesson from 2 Timothy 3:16-17 from the NIV version.
  • Correction: The Strong's Concodance defines this word as straightening up again with the word reformation, giving us the sense of how this word is being applied within the context of this verse. The Vine's Dictionary of bible words defines this word in the sense of moral correction with the word chasten being synonymous with the word correction. Webster's Dictionary describes this word as the act or process of correcting and the Roget's Thesaurus explains this word as a penalty imposed for wrong doing. To chasten is to castigate for the purpose of improving as defined by Roget's Thesaurus and the word reformation is the act or process of being formed again.
So when we are recieving correction from God through the scriptures we are being formed into shape again. Because we were in a state or condition of being deformed due to our sinful acts, behaviors, or sinful ways of living. Therefore correction is needed because we are outside the will(commandments and word of God).  We are chastened by the LORD our God through the scriptures. In addition to the work of the holy Spirit convicting our hearts and minds for the sole purpose of reforming us back in line with the will(word, commandments, and instructions of God). Chastening(correction) is a process in the development, growth, and maturity throughout the life of a believer. However chastening is also a penalty imposed on belivers by God for WILLFUL SIN, BEHAVIOR, and LIFESTYLES contrary to the will(word, commandments, and instructions of God). Please read Hebrews 10:26-31 For further understanding. This blog will conclude with the following verse from the scriptures.
  Proverbs 3:11-12: "My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; Neither be weary of his correction: for whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth." KJV
God bless you ALL and I love you ALL much and dearly.

Being Defiled Part 2

  Kingdom Greetings, to you all in the name of Jesus Christ Our Saviour. During this blog, I will be explaining how both prescription drugs and over the counter drugs, recreational drugs and alcohol are factors which can lead to us being defiled.  These three classes of drugs that mentioned above in addition to alcohol impacts our mental awareness and our ability to make decisions. Whenever we consume any of these three classes of drugs or alcohol it opens up our minds to influences and communications from Satan and his demonic forces. How? It is Satan as well as his demonic forces that influence our thoughts, actions, words, and our decisions. These demonic influences leads us to commit the following sins that defiles us: Fornication Adultery Lying, stealing and robbing Murder Sexual Assault and date rape Violence of all sorts Sexual Misconduct Disobedience to the law (driving under the influence).    If we were to conduct a statistical analysis each...

Laws of Marriage(Guidelines)

  I would like to thank you all for reading my blogs. I also want you to know that I truly appreciate you all. Welcome back. I am going to put forth a list for us all to follow as it pertains to the mind of Christ and as it is written in the holy scriptures( GOD'S recorded word ) concerning the principles and teachings of the laws of marriage. Marriage is between one man and one woman. What God has joined together. Let not anyone ( this includes a husband or a wife) put asunder. A person can ( only divorce )their spouse for sexual misconduct( adultery or fornication etc. ). If a person divorces their spouse for sexual misconduct neither a  husband or a wife or the spouse they have   divorced or separated from is permitted by GOD to marry another person. Also God do not permitt for them to engage in another intimate relationship. If a person for reasons  of abuse of any kind or the lives of themselves or that of their children was in danger were to divorce or s...

From this point going forward, I will be writing and posting my blogs every other week. The reason for this change is because I have begun writing my third book titled: The Laws Of Marriage. This would be a great opportunity for everyone to read and catch up on blogs that I have already written and posted that are of interest to them.   These next series of my blogs will be centered on being defiled. I will define the word defile, show how a person becomes defiled?, and what is being defiled in the eyes of God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour is? The book of Mark Chapter 7:15-23 will be the main passage of scripture for this lesson series.              Mark 7:15    "There is NOTHING from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things wh...
