You Were Afflicted? It Was Necessary and It Was Good. Here's Why

God desires His truth to reside in our "innermost being."  I hope that's your desire as well.However, there's one big obstacle to His truth reigning in our heart / our innermost being. What is that obstacle? It's us! God doesn't play second fiddle, and we're already occupying the throne of our heart. For God and His truth to reign in our hearts, we've got to abandon the preeminent place on that throne.Join me for Today's Daily Word & Prayer to a more.Scripture Used in Today's MessagePsalm 51:6Psalm 119:711 Peter 4:1-2Galatians 2:20To find Scripture Songs, here are a couple of sources to check out.Jim Snedeker who wrote many of these songshttps://soundcloud.com/jim-snedekerDave Cook / Scripture Release was also an early writer of Scripture Songshttps://scripturerelease.com/Gator Christian Life in Gainesville, Florida has recorded oldies and continues to write new oneshttps://gatorchristianlife.com/resources/followingIf you've not read my book, Takin' it to Their Turf. request a copy on my website, www.CampusAmerica.com.You'll be inspired, encouraged, and learn plenty about evangelism and spiritual warfare through the 70+ stories I share of my campus evangelism experiences.We send a copy to anyone who donates to our ministry, but if you can't do so, simply request a copy by sending us an email. Who do you know that needs to hear today's message? Go ahead and forward this to them, along with a prayer that God will use it in their life.To find Tom on Instagram, Facebook, TiKTok, and elsewhere, go to linktr.ee/tomthepreacher To support Tom Short Campus Ministries, click herehttps://www.tomthepreacher.com/support************ Do you want to have all your sins forgiven and know God personally? *********Check out my video "The Bridge Diagram" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0Kjwrlind8&t=1sCheck out my website, www.TomthePreacher.com, to learn more about my ministry and sign up for my daily email.
