Checking into God's Presence… Ordinarily, we may find it difficult to believe that when the internal nature of men becomes stale and corrupt, it is inevitable that a reasonable manner will become less apparent. James the Apostles claimed there are two types of wisdom in his epistle, and James 3:13-18 encapsulates: "Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbour bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, and demonic. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness."  Without a doubt, evil reports in the epistle of James have become so glaring to the extent that many have to turn themselves to self-made prophets and prophetesses. Very often, these sets of people give messages of doom; and lie using the spirit of God when knowing they cannot even see beyond their noses. Their unscrupulous efforts have become a big challenge that uninvitingly set limits to the grace of God in the area of the accomplishment of faith, trust, hope, and belief in the works and patterns of God within the Christian Assembly.  Paul the Apostle wrote in 2 Timothy 2:19-26 that: "Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness. “In a large house, there are articles not only of gold and silver but also of wood and clay; some are for noble purposes and some for ignoble. If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, applicable to the Master and prepared to do any good work.  Flee youth's evil desires, pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. Don't have anything to do with foolish arguments because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will." May the Almighty God illuminate our path and use His Spirit to guide our thoughts, order our words, and prosper our ways. God will empower us, so we do not walk into danger or run into any evil. May God's grace set us apart from all captivities of the devil and allow us to lay our hands upon His glory. By the power of God, we shall receive help from above and be the source of blessings to humanity. Through the power of the Blood of the Lamb, the anointing of God will frustrate the schemes of the wicked ones and, the joy of the Lord shall locate us in Jesus' Name Amen.  Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...
