All You Need Is Discipline and Not Prayers: The Biblical Power of Christian Discipline and Transformation

Image
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…” — Romans 12:2 (KJV)   Many Christians pray sincerely for change, breakthrough, spiritual growth, success, self-control, a better marriage, victory over temptation, and a closer walk with God. Yet sometimes, after praying repeatedly, nothing seems to change.  Why?  One important answer is discipline .  D iscipline does not replace prayer; discipline helps us live out what we pray for .  Prayer is essential to the Christian life, but prayer must be followed by obedience, action, consistency, and self-control. You can pray for a stronger spiritual life, but you must also make time to study the Bible. You can pray to overcome temptation, but you must also learn to avoid situations that repeatedly lead you into temptation. You can pray for a better marriage, but you must discipline yourself to communicate with love, forgive, listen, and honour your spouse.  This is why the...

Healing is a Harvest


Healing is a harvest. When God’s promises for healing and health are sown into our hearts, the grace of health and healing within begin to grow. Our hearts and minds begin to be shaped by His Word rather than by the words of others, our feelings, or our fears. If we continue to “water” the promises of God in our hearts, they will grow and prosper. 

The Word of God is incorruptible seed. It produces according to its nature (life, peace, joy, vision, faith, health), when we receive it into our hearts. 

“When you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe.” (1 Thessalonians 2:13) 

 The Word “works” in a believing heart much as a seed springs to life in good soil. 

And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground…. (Mark 4:26-27) 

Everything in the Kingdom works according to this principle. The seed is the Word. Everything in life needs to be sowed with the Word of God. Our minds, our bodies, even our spirit man needs the continual influence of the seed of God’s Word. This is how our lives are transformed, our minds renewed, our bodies healed and the kingdom is expanded over the face of the earth! 

My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. For they are life to him who finds them, and healing to all his flesh. (Proverbs 4:20-22) 

Most of us would declare that we believe God wants us well and that we believe in healing. Most of us believe that watermelons are real. It really doesn’t matter what you say you believe. What matters is what you sow. If you never sow a watermelon seed, you will never harvest watermelons, no matter how much you believe in them. So it is with healing. A seed must be sown. No matter how a healing manifests, it has at its beginning a seed of the Word. 

Meditate in God’s Word. Ponder His promises. Envision the Word working in your physical body. Let the harvest of healing spring from the seed of God’s Word. 

Grace is infinite potential. So is a seed. There are unlimited resources in the seed of God’s Word. Do some sowing today!

Our "Race" in life

Image
  "Know you not that they which run in a race run all, but one receives the prize? So run, that you may obtain." 1st Corinthians 9:24-27 Our Christian race here on this earth is not a quick sprint! It's a long race (marathon)!  We might travel a short distance before stopping. We could then renew our spirits and continue. But in our race, we must pay close attention to the set course!  Our Savior has already paved this way, so there shouldn't be any detours.  Since we don't want to fall, we should concentrate on the immediate future and search for "signs" that will direct us in the right direction.  We've got a "spiritual map" That, in my opinion, is both the Bible and the Holy Spirit's "direction."  We will see brightness for many miles, but there will also be times of darkness and storms. We definitely need the Lord's assistance to get through.  We must constantly turn to our "Resources" thus prayer, the Holy S...
