Strong Hearts and Minds

Strong Hearts and Minds
We need strength, focus, boldness, and toughness
in order to carry out our callings
and God’s commandments on earth.
Christ was a very strong-minded person.
He was not weak toward others.
He was very bold and was not easily moved by anything but His Father.
If He was not a strong man,
He couldn’t have carried out His Father’s commandments.
He may not have been very strong physically
but He was strong in mind and heart.
What was the root of Jesus’ strength and toughness?
The answer is love.
Love was and is the root of His strength and toughness.
Let us be strong, but still receive our strength and toughness from godly love.
We need to be strong, focused, and bold so that we can spread God’s love.
Some may think that weakness in heart and mind will carry God’s love,
but I believe strength in heart and mind will carry His love.
The disciples could not have done what they did
if they were not strong, focused, and tough.
But they all got their strength, focus, and toughness
from the love of the Father.
May His love make us strong so that we can carry it around.

From Getting to Giving

From Getting to Giving I had a meeting with a minister today and it was very hard for me. When I got back home, I asked the Lord to tell me the reason. I felt He said that I went to the meeting to receive, not to give. I went to the meeting to get some possible connection for future ministry. May the Lord change our attitude from getting to giving . Selfishness will creep in on us and jump on our shoulders. No matter what we do, if we do it to gain something, we will never be satisfied. Most of our giving is conditional, and conditional acts open the door for our old nature to kick in. Unconditional acts open the door for our new nature to come in. When our new nature rules, there is peace and comfort in the Spirit. But when our old nature rules, there is agony and discomfort. May we allow the Spirit of God to come out of us through our unconditional acts and thoughts. From Kamran Yaraei’s Book “Food For The Heart”.

He Comes to Kill

He Comes to Kill When facing a thief with a gun in our houses or workplaces, we think that if we give him all of our money, then he will leave us alone and let us live. Sometimes we have the same mindset when we meet Jesus. We believe that if we give everything we have to the Lord, and serve Him well, then He might just let us live. But the point is this: The Lord doesn’t come to steal, but to kill. He is not after our possessions, He is after our flesh—our old, sinful nature. The Lord will use all of our daily struggles to kill our flesh. Our good works and giving will not stop Him from doing this. “Whoever seeks to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it” (Luke 17:33). It is very important to know that as we get closer to the Lord, we get closer to the death of our flesh. This should be great news to us. He wants us to get close enough that He can kill our old nature, which is thoroughly described in Galatians 5:19-20: Now the works of the flesh are ev...
