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?
