New Apostles Voice

Those that accept Jesus Christ, as their personal Lord and Saviour, are the meek or humble people of the world. The people who resist God and His ways and refuse to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, are the proud and arrogant people of the world. Their soul is not upright and therefore they resist righteousness. We read about this from Habakkuk chapter 2 verse 4, in the Old Testament. This verse is confirmed from Romans chapter 1 verse 17, in the New Testament. Those who are willing to live by faith, will live in God's presence, forever.

Usually we think of fools as people who are possibly low in intelligence and like mucking around and causing problems for themselves and other people. However, when we read and meditate on God's Word the Bible, we find out that the Holy God thinks quite otherwise. Many fools are very intelligent people who often have important positions in large corporations or government institutions. They may manage their own businesses or be in charge of a city; a state or even of an entire country. God's definition of a real fool is a person who does not acknowledge God as Creator and has no place for God in His thoughts or decisions.

Every born again believer is part of the body of Christ, the church. Christ is the head and we are the body. The head can do nothing without the body and the body can do nothing without the head. Our physical body is useless without a head and likewise the head cannot carry out His plans, without the cooperation of the body. Both the head and the body are one being and need each other to achieve God's will and purposes. When the body obeys the head then miraculous things begin to happen. The manual for our instruction is the Holy Bible that reveals to us the knowledge of who God is and the reality for our life.

Every human being is composed of spirit, soul and body. We are all tripartite beings. We live in a tent or skeletal framework surrounded by flesh called our body. This is our outer covering or tent. Each person also has a soul. This is our psychological part. In it we also have three parts. The first is called our mind or intellect, we also have our will with which we make our decisions and thirdly our emotions or feelings. The third part of our tripartite being is our spirit which is able to connect us to God, the Holy Spirit. Some people confuse their soul with their spirit. They are two different entities. Only born again Christians can contact God with their spirit. Our spirit is sometimes called our inner voice or inner person. In unbelievers, the spirit remains, spiritually, dormant to God's Spirit, but unfortunately, it can contact evil spirits.

Every Christian, when they pray, must believe that they will receive God's answer, to their petitions and intercessions, the moment they utter their prayer, in faith, to the heavenly throne. Their faith must always be based on God's word, the Holy Bible and the directions of the Holy Spirit. These are the two great witnesses of God the Father. Don't waste your thoughts and breath on useless scattering of words but on the sure foundation of God's plans and purposes, for you and at times, for other people. Always be a prayer person who desires to pray, in fellowship, with the Father and the Son, through the revealed knowledge of God, the Holy Spirit. To keep on reading and listening to the Lord, for a consistent prayer life, is as important to a believer, as breathing fresh air.
