Do you believe God?  or do you believe in God.  There is a difference. Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness.  Romans 4:3  Abraham believed God when He told him his seed will be as numerous as the stars in the heavens.  God justified Abraham because he believed.  It is God who justifies, who makes us righteous.  Romans 3:27 Do you believe in God?  Are you working for your salvation?  Those who work for their salvation are really working to pay off a debt.  A debt they can never live long enough to repay.  Therefore, their work is hopeless.  Their works are all done in sin.  Sin cannot redeem you from sin.  When you think you are finished working you will be still a sinner.  Isaiah 64:6 says:  "But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags;....."  Romans 4:4 states:  "Now to him who works, the ...

O Lord, hear!  O Lord, forgive!  O Lord, listen and act!  Do not delay for Your own sake, my God, for Your city and Your people are called by Your Name.  Daniel 9: 19  Daniel through his studies saw that God would complete seventy years in the desolation of Jerusalem, so Daniel decided to pray. Daniel chapter 9 Today we see the decline of our society in everything that is God’s, and we come to pray.  God knows what we are going to pray.  While the word is on our tongue God knows.  God does not have to wait until we are finished praying to act or to respond.  At the beginning of Daniel’s prayer God sent forth his command. “At the beginning of your supplications, the command went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly beloved;  therefore consider the matter, and understand the vision:”  Gabriel told Daniel Verses 21-23  God answered Daniel’s prayer by showing him His plan – what would take place in...
