VERSE: “Our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction” (2 Peter 3:15b-16).

EQUATION: Teachings of the New Testament from Apostle Paul = Authentic Scriptures from God.

ACTION: For the first time in the Bible, the great Apostle Peter, tells us as plain as day, that the letters from the brilliant Apostle Paul are not only full of truth but are as much Scriptures as the Words of the Torah (first five books of the Bible) or the Prophets. Jesus Himself revealed them to His servant Paul when He trained him for three years in the Arabian desert. The required action for those who have not yet done so, is to start with reading the Book of Romans, this year and then read all the way through the Book of James – very slowly, very methodically, while praying for the Holy Spirit to make the embedded truths here, easy to comprehend. Scripture immersion is required, at in this current age.

PRAYER: Our Heavenly Father and great God of Heaven Who has revealed Himself to sinful mankind, first through Moses and the Prophets and in these last days, through Your great Son the Savior Jesus, we praise Thee, worship Thee and bless Your Holy Name for giving us the Word of Truth – the Bible. Through this, Father, we cannot be deceived by those on earth who twist Your words to suit their own personal ends and misrepresent You, misleading others and making them just as much a candidate for destruction as they are. Father, give us, through Your revealed word- the Rhema of God and the Powerful Spirit of the Living God, the discernment to immediately recognize false teaching and error so that we may alert the unsuspecting and teach those who need to know You better. Grant us the courage to stand for revealed Truth so that we may proclaim it righteously, with humility and love, but with uncompromising accuracy, so that we may stand before You, holy and blameless, in the Presence of the Angels and the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, to whom all praise is due, in His Name, the Name above ALL the other names, we ask all these things, amen and amen.

VERSE: “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple” (Psalm 19:7).

EQUATION: God’s Commands + His Grace = the Most Fulfilled Life in this World!

ACTION: The reason God gave us His Law and all His commandments etc. is not to keep us from having, what we think is “FUN”! It is to keep us from harming ourselves, from harming others and from harming our relationship with Him. Knowing this, it is now time to readjust our thinking to this paradigm and look at God the REAL way, maybe for the first time!

PRAYER: Lord, we never realized what a good, good and gracious Heavenly Father You are, and that You would love us so very much, that You sent Your Word, Your Law, Your Commands, Your Bible to us. These precious words – Your teachings, Your wisdom and EVERYONE of Your commandments are given to us that we may have Your Mind and Your Heart and Your Truth that we may simply live….and not just live, but live a life free from the burdens of guilt, sin and shame if we just obey and follow Your Word, Lord. We thank You mightily for this and the very fact that Thy Word is Truth and Thy Word giveth life, in the Mighty and Strong Name of Jesus we pray, amen.
