Iman; Faith - For Christian Devotion From A Discipleship Point Of View

We Christians have all we need for life and godliness according as His divine power has given unto us.For those struggling with sin, lukewarm or cold behavior, there’s hope.How To Develop A Relationship Of Fellowship With GodGod is not a man. Let’s be certain of this understanding before pursuing fellowship or communion with Him.Numbers 23:1919 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?Isaiah 55:7-117 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.God responds to our movement toward Him through right behavior. We must believe, when coming to Him, that He is (able) and a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. The best way to seek God is through the bible (KJV) and behavior that is worthy of repentance.We are the creation of His shapen in iniquity and in sin did our mothers conceive us. There is none righteous, no not one as all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. We are at enmity with Him who is a holy God; we must reconcile ourselves to Him through Jesus Christ who is God.We reconcile through repentance of our evil and wickedness by turning away from it and doing righteousness. We need knowledge to aid us and that knowledge is acquired through the bible (KJV). Reading, studying, meditating, and memorizing are biblical activities we ought do and include spiritual disciplines to practice.We who believe in the name of His Son repent of our sins, and cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of the Lord. Again, we aren’t befriending a man. Our expectations of God aren’t based upon our relation to men.God is a spirit and they that worship Him do so in spirit and truth. Don’t get hung up on jargon but understand that we are His creation and He expects holiness of us. When we pray, we have the petitions of the things we have asked and we’re not seeking after a voice. God is far beyond the things of man and can relate to us how He chooses knowing who we are intimately.As we walk in righteousness before Him, the eyes of the Lord are over us and His ears are open to our prayers. We know God doesn’t hear sinners’ prayers but He does those of the righteous.1 Corinthians 14:10 KJVSThere are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.Let this be the basis by which our ears try words. If we hear nothing, then let’s read the bible, a record of God speaking throughout man’s history. This is enough and we are satisfied by this. Our devotion to God is primarily bible intake: reading, studying, meditating, and memorizing, while incorporating the practice of spiritual disciplines such as fasting. Again, this is enough and we’re satisfied by this. Let’s focus upon reading the bible, believing what we read, and doing it. Let’s be certain to meditate on what we read for meaning and understanding while adding studying and memorization. This journey of faith is so rewarding and blessed.
