RHM Devotional: Teach a Man to Fish from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. Today I want to talk about listening to the Holy Spirit, instead of relying on someone else to tell you what He said you should do. We need to get to a place in our walk where we can discern what the Holy Spirit is tryi... -

One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him. 'Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?' Jesus said to him, 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. A second likewise is...
The Vine And The Branch
-
Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can't bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me. I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:4 WEB
The ministry of Jesus from the first recorded miracle of turning water into wine, until His resurrection was about three-and-a-half years. He took away the sins of the universe and if we let Him personally, He will take ours. Jesus changed the world that He lived in.
We labor each day for so many things when in reality, if we just get in tune with Him, we would accomplish so much more and it would be more fulfilling as well. Like Mary sitting at the feet of Jesus while Martha labored in the kitchen, sometimes we just need to sit and listen. Too often though, we are like Martha, making sandwiches that no one ordered and just getting tired and frustrated when they don't seem to appreciate it.
Jesus is the Vine, we are the branches, and it is our connection with Him that makes our own life bear fruit. I find that when I spend some quiet time with the Lord before I start my day, pray for a few minutes, read a little scripture and listen, that my day goes so much better. It reminds me of why I am doing this and that I am not just struggling alone in this life. After a few minutes alone with the Lord, I am much stronger.
Always include the Lord in Your day. Remember that without Him, you can do nothing of lasting value. Taking just ten minutes to stop, pray and listen, can change your life, those around you, and the world itself.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, please strengthen me today and cover me with Your presence. Draw my heart to You Lord and let me see through Your eyes. Use me and make my life count for Your kingdom, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray.

Way too many cosmetic and PC Christians who never read the Scriptures nor understand God Judges on actions not words. Arrogance and hubris are the foundations for churchianity and religiosity. We need to remembere: Judge not on appearances or human standards, but on Biblical content and admonitions. Paul constantly had to confront the phony and counterfeit in the church, which God abhors. A True Follower of the Way knows God's forgiveness and that all things are good and right for those who adhere not to human standards, but God's LAW as Written in the Pentateuch, in particular, Leviticus and Deutoronomy.

Amen we need Jesus more than ever especially in the days and times we are living in. We need Jesus in our homes, schools, jobs, in our surrounding and our everydaylife. Because the devil is like a roaring lions he only come to rob and destroy lives. We need to keep praying and involve God in our lives and day. Asked God to protect us and we need to involve God in our daily lives and decisions.
