Inspiration From The Lord

Words of Wisdom
By Joseph B. Skinner


Prayer:

It is the strong arm that leads to war, but they that depend on God will pray.

A man finds strength in numbers but the man that puts his trust in God will pray.

Prayer is not a duty it’s a divine right and privilege to any real child of God.

Prayer changes the hearts of men but idle talk only makes matters the worse.

Prayer will cost you something but talk is cheap.

Prayer is the strength of any nation. As long as this prayer is made to the God which created the heavens and the earth.

Talk to a man about his own problem and he might let you. Pray for him and he will become your friend and most loyal critic.

Man has many gods but there is only one that created the Heavens and the Earth.

Strife is never a solution or a means to an end; it will never come to an agreement were both parties are content.

Strife is in the hearts of those that have selfish ambitions but life will flow from the hearts of those that are surrendered to the true ideal.

He that is in want is never satisfied, therefore become a cheerful giver.

He that careth not for his own soul will not care for his neighbors’ either.
He that is lazy lacks desire.

Procrastination is nothing than a lack of desire.

A man with desire will not quit until the job is done.

Man cannot put desire into the heart but God can.

A man without desire is as the chaff before the wind.

The True Prophet of God:

Unfortunately the true Prophet of God is not called on until men have well drunk. Then when they are in want, they will begin to accuse that the best wine was laid up to last.

The true prophet of God is a lonely one but though all forsake him he is not alone.

All men will hate the true prophet of God, but he is beloved in Heaven.

The true prophet of God does not seek to please men his calling is a higher one.

Give men a prize worth fighting for and they will cross the finish line.

Inspiration from God will flow as a pure river but inspiration from any other will be mixture at best.

The Hungry Soul:

The want of a hungry soul will cause him to eat anything but he that careth for his soul will wait until it’s time to eat.

There are many restaurants however there is only one table that can satisfy the soul of man.

As they lusted in the wilderness and God gave them their desire so the Lord has filled the earth will books.

The Bible The Book of Books:
There is only one Book that has all the answers.

The Bible is not just another book it’s the book of all books.

Give a child an education and he will gain knowledge but teach a child the Bible and he will grow in knowledge and wisdom.

Knowledge without wisdom is only knowledge but wisdom is the key to applying knowledge.

Books written about the Bible are just more books but books inspired by the Bible will bring the reader back to the source of the books inspiration.

Inspiration:

Man can never be the source of inspiration, he can only be inspired.

Inspiration only comes from two sources God and the Devil therefore be watchful.

Black and white can be distinguished however the mixture of the two is the making of a storm.

The Eagle:

The eagle knows when the storm is approaching however man does not believe.

The eagle learns how to soar but man continues to flap his wings.

God desires to make his people eagles however they think they are chickens.

Gods Love:

If Gods people could love another the world would be a better place.

If Gods people made love their top priority the world would have been converted already.

If love is the fulfilling of the Law why do Gods people continue to fall short of it?

If Gods love is the greatest why do Gods people spend so little time with it?

Entering His Rest

Heb 4:1  Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

Most  of Gods people believe entering into Gods REST requires putting forth some effort on our part. In this teaching we will prove by the Scripture that our EFFORTS will end in FAILURE! In fact any effort on our part at all will only bring MIXTURE and the end result will be to miss the mark. Entering Gods REST is a miracle of God and can only be performed by Him alone! Your part is to BELIEVE His Word!


ef·fort/ˈefərt/Noun

1. A vigorous or determined attempt.
 
Did you notice the word "Attempt" ?
 
Now lets look at the word "Attempt".

at·tempt/əˈtem(p)t/

Noun: An act of trying to achieve something, typically one that is unsuccessful or not certain to succeed: "an attempt to halt the bombings".
Verb: Make an effort to achieve or complete (something, typically a difficult task or action): 

You see! An attempt means to be (UNSUCCESSFUL). YOU CANNOT DO IT!!! SO STOP TRYING! ARE YOU ONE OF THOSE THAT IS ALWAYS SAYING " I'M TRYING MY BEST?" YOUR BEST WILL ALWAYS END IN FAILURE!

So how do we enter into His rest if our effort cannot get us there?

The answer is in the Word of God.

Heb 4:10  For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

Heb 4:11  Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
 
DESIRE
 
The word (Labor) comes from a Greek word meaning to (DESIRE).
 
So to enter Gods rest we must first Desire it.
 
DEAD TO SELF
 
The key to entering into Gods rest is to "cease from our own works or effort or attempts! The word cease means to STOP! STOP! STOP! Let's go a little further shall we. Go beyond STOP and learn to be DEAD to self. This is how we enter His rest!

Oh by the way if your like some that try to say that Faith without WORKS is dead, Let me let you in on a secret. The word WORKS is to BELIEVE! Remember what Jesus said?

John 6:28  Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

John 6:29  Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. 

Now this Scripture should make more sense to you!
 
Heb 4:2  For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

Heb 4:3  For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

You SEE! We enter His rest as we BELIEVE ! ! ! Faith brings us into this REST! It's only when we believe that we can SEE or UNDERSTAND or COMPREHEND the TRUTH THAT MAKES US FREE! Faith mixed with His Word opens the DOOR (Jesus is the Door)  to this REST!

If this teaching as been a blessing to you, please leave us a comment and let us know!
