Language and Living

This post is very hard to write.

I am a Christian.    I try to live a righteous life, according to the Bible.  

4 of 6

 

 

 But lately, the Holy Spirit has been dealing with me about somethings that I’m doing that are contrary to the Bible, which is what I say I believe in.    So, I either have to live up to what I say, and therefore, what the Bible says, or shut up.

I’ve always known that reading horoscopes are wrong.   According to the Bible.    Galatians 5: 19-21 says:

¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

²⁰ Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

²¹ Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Witchcraft includes a lot of things under its umbrella.   Basically anything dealing with spirits, not of God.

But, I thought nothing of writing about Clutter Fairies.   I thought Fairies are cute little harmless spirits.   Wrong!    Any spirits that are not of God are evil.    So, I will be going back through my posts, and eliminating any mention of Fairies.   If I can’t rewrite the post, I will delete it.

I had already given up TV, because of all the sex, etc.    And that was hard for me.   But, I did it in order to be more Godly, and become closer to God the Father, and Jesus Christ, God’s Son, my Savior.    Nothing is worth keeping me away from them!    So, I’m doing my best to live a more holy life.

This also applies to “fortune” cookies.    My whole life, I’ve thought nothing of reading my fortune cookie, even though I’d never be caught dead at a fortune teller’s.    But, the Holy Spirit spoke to me, (not in an audible voice, but in my spirit) and said the fortune cookie was the exact same thing.   WOW!!    That was a game changer for me.    Now, I’m trying to filter EVERYTHING I say and do through the lens of the Bible.   If the Bible says not to do it, I’m gonna stop, so help me God.

So, I will be doing things differently from now on.    I truly desire to become holy, even as God is holy.    Because I’m human, I won’t ever achieve 100% sinlessness, but I’m working on it, by letting God control me, not myself.

Quoting Quietly in a Quorum

This is Day # 3, of my Quotes Challenge, given to me by Smiling Notes.  Thanks again, Smiling!

If you missed them, here’s Day One.  And this is Day # 2.

“Who can find a virtuous wife?  For her worth is far above rubies.”  I’m quoting the Holy Bible, book of Proverbs, chapter 31, verse 10.

The Bible has a lot to say to wives, about how to be an excellent one.  I could have done a lot better in my life if I had always followed the Biblical teachings, instead of rebelling, and wanting to do my own thing.  Better late, than never, I guess.  Thank God for His forgiveness, through Jesus’ blood, and His death on the cross.  No matter what sins I’ve committed, Jesus forgives them, when I ask in prayer. BUT!!!  I have to quit sinning!!  I can’t just ask for forgiveness, then go back to whatever I was doing before.  I have to make a change in my heart, my life, my attitude, and my actions.

If I want to be an excellent wife, I have to follow God’s instructions.  He made us, He knows best for us.

The Rules of this Challenge are:
