Listening To The Teaching Of God-Lisa Patterson

Isaiah 28:23 says to give ear and hear my voice. Listen and hear my speech. Does the plowman keep plowing all day to sow? Does he keep turning his soil and breaking the clods? When he has leveled it's surface does he not plant the wheat in rows, the barley in it's appointed place? For he instructs him in right judgement. His God teaches him.
The Lord of host is wonderful in counsel and excellent in guidance. Isaiah 28:14 says scornful men are worse than fools, beyond choosing what is bad, they despise what is good.
Isaiah 28:16 is a Cornerstone in Zion. "Therefore says the Lord God, behold I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation. A field stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation." Who believes will not act hastily. Also I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the plummet. The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters will overflow the hiding place. Your covenant with death will be annulled. And your agreement with Sheol will not stand.
You were made to be controlled by God, not man or the enemy. We were only made for God and for His pleasure alone. If you go the way of the Egyptians, you will be controlled by the devil. Give your whole life to Christ or you will not be completely happy. You may do this or that for a while, but then you will have to come back to what he's called you to do. Your agreement with Egypt will not stand. For the bed is too short to stretch out on. And the covering so narrow that one cannot wrap himself in it.
The Lord will rise up and he will do his work, His awesome work, and bring to pass his act, his unusual act. Do not be mockers. lest your bonds be made strong. Do what the Lord says. Let him dominate your life. You will be miserable without Him. Do not let the devil lead you astray. He will intimidate and harden your heart! Your conscious will no longer bother you as your heart continues to harden. Then you will fall into his trap. It's a dangerous thing to harden your heart. There may not be another time to come to Him. You can't "fit or belong" except in Him. The time to come to Him is now. You must surrender your heart, will and mind to Him and then you'll have his best. This is Lisa Patterson with the Good News that Jesus loves you and wants you now.

LIVING BY FAITH - Lisa Patterson

Living By Faith - Lisa Patterson
Habakkah 2:4 we must live by faith. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. That means you can't see what all is in store for you but you must have faith through Christ. Matthew 6:30 talks about Oh ye of little faith. If God so clothed the grass of the field, which today is and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, Oh you of little faith? Do not worry saying what shall we eat or drink or what shall we wear. For your Heavenly Father knows what you have need of. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added unto you. Do not worry about tomorrow, for it will worry about it's own things. Matthew 14:31 Peter walked on the water but when he saw the wind was boisterous, he became afraid and began to sink. And he cried out saying, Lord save me! Jesus then stretched out his hand and caught him and said "Oh you of little faith, why did you doubt?" And when they got in the boat the wind ceased. Those who were in the boat came and worshipped Him saying Jesus truely is the Son of God. Matthew 15:28 A woman from Canan came from Tyre and Sidon crying out to Jesus saying, "Have mercy on me, Oh Lord, for my daughter is severely demon possessed." But he didn't answer and the deciples came and urged him saying, "send her away she cries out for us." But he said, I was not sent except for the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Then she worshipped him saying, "Lord help me." He said it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs. She said, "Lord even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from the the master's table. Jesus answered saying, "Great is your faith. Let it be to you as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that hour. Matthew 17:20 A boy is healed of epilepsy. The boy was brought to the deciples but they couldn't heal him. Jesus told them it was because of their unbelief. If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed you shall say unto this mountain, move from here to there and it will be done. Nothing shall be impossible for you. However, this kind of demon only comes out through prayer and fasting. I Corinthians 2:5 says that you faith shoud not be in the wisdom of men but the power of God. Galatians 3:14 says the Law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we may be justified by faith. But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. We must live by faith and not by sight, The way to faith is by the reading and studying of the Word of God. Mark 11:23-24 says whosoever says to this mountain to be removed and cast into the sea and does not doubt in his heart, he shall have whatsoever he says. Galatians 3:2 Did you receive the spirit by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith? Therefore know that only those who are of faith are the sons of Abraham. Hebrews 10:38 says the just shall live by faith. Hebrews 11:1 says faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. James 1:3 says your faith produces patience and that is needed to fulfill the race. Faith is a measure we are all given and we must use it to the best of our ability. This is Lisa Patterson with the good news that God loves you and wants you to come to Him and receive the faith he has imparted to you.
