Week 116: What's Really Cooking?

                                  What’s Really Cooking? 

                                         Now the just shall live by faith. . . Hebrews 10:38

• Mouthwatering . . .

• Scrumptious. . .

• Lip-smacking. . . 

         While the world has its eyes on terrorism, and rightly so, I see another threat that isn’t getting the attention that it should. I am OUTRAGED about all the toxins in our food. Not everything that looks good, smells good, and taste good is fit for human consumption.

  Are we being terrorized every time someone genetically modifies our food? 

The human body is remarkable. It can successfully digest almost anything. However, it CANNOT handle all these complex chemicals that man has put into our food. Our body parts give out before we are finished using them because they are overtaxed. Is there a correlation between what we eat and all the diseases that we are suddenly plagued with? 

                                               I think so!

You can’t watch television, especially during mid-day, without being bombarded with all these illnesses. People talk about these maladies as if they are normal. Well, they are not! I’m not saying that every disease is linked to food, but I am saying that food is a major culprit to why so many people are sick.

Why don’t we hear more about this? Well, think about all the money that is generated from these disorders. Do I need to say anymore? It’s literally sickening! I think it’s a waste to put all the money into finding “cures,” and not put a stop to: artificial—chemically modified—fake foods.      

          You need an advance degree in chemical engineering

                      just to know what’s in a piece of candy.  

Food should be grown in good soil—on farms, not made from a series of complicated formulas, conjured up in test tubes manufactured in some toxic production plant.

                         The human body is not a petri dish.

What does all of this have to do with faith? Everything! We better say a sincere, heartfelt prayer before we put anything in our mouths that has been tampered with by man.

  Hmmm! I wonder what’s “really” cooking in the oven. 

                         Oh, by the way—Happy New Year!

Week 115: Guaranteed 100%

                    Guaranteed 100%

     Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1

• Results guaranteed. . .

• Customer satisfaction guaranteed. . .

• Money back guaranteed. . .

When we pray, we have to make sure our prayers are aligned with God’s plans. It’s tragic when people get upset, even to the point of being angry with God, because He didn’t answer their prayers the way they wanted them answered. They will argue the fact that they followed all the “guidelines” of faith. When in fact, they missed step number #1—aligning their will, with God’s will. 

   

Want a 100% guarantee that your prayers will be answered? Sure you do; we all do. Well, it’s very simple.

               Pray for God’s will to be done—and mean it!              

When Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane, He didn’t want to go to the cross. However, He submitted His will, for God’s will to be done. (Matthew 26:39) 

   It’s fine for us to have things that we would like for God to do. But, we have to know that God knows what’s best. He sees the complete map of our journey. We only see a teeny-tiny glimpse—and that’s open to misinterpretation.

 This is the [remarkable degree of] confidence which we [as believers are entitled to] have before Him: that if we ask anything according to His will, [that is, consistent with His plan and purpose] He hears us.  And if we know [for a fact, as indeed we do] that He hears and listens to us in whatever we ask, we [also] know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted to us] the requests which we have asked from Him. (I John 5:14-15 AMP)

                        Results—100% Guaranteed!

Week 114: Feed Your Faith Starve Your Fears

                              Feed Your Faith Starve Your Fears

                                          Fight the good fight of faith… I Timothy 6:12

• Famished. . .

• Hunger. . .

• Unfilled. . .

          If you want to kill something, cut off its food supply. I remember some years back when the doctor told me I had a tumor. My first thought was: I just won’t feed it. I did the research, and cut off its food source. The same can be done with our fears.

                                               Worry feeds fear.

                                               

The more you worry, the more your fears will lead you into an uncontrollable frenzy. If you noticed, worrying can’t be contained—it continues to grow into a never ending list of horrible terrifying, “What ifs.”

          How do you get out of this death trap? Starve your fears by feeding your faith with the Word of God. The more you read and speak the Word, the more your fears will shrink from malnutrition. Fear cannot stand up to the Word of God.

                     Fear and faith are incompatible in the same space.   

          Personally, I hate the way worrying makes me feel—physically. Worrying has no productive purpose other than to swindle me out of my faith. Throughout the years, I’ve learned to ask myself as soon as I realize I’m worrying: “Are you worried about “this”? If my answer is yes. I tell myself—“Drop It!” I fill the void with Scriptures, or sometimes I will just call on, JESUS!!!! 

                  Unchallenged torment, will become your reality. 

Whenever fear creeps back in,

                               Feed it another helping of Faith.
