Thank you Lord for those who have stood and given their lives to protect this country and fight for freedom. I took a look at the news this morning and I have to say things are heating up in the Middle East. It would not surprise me to see a war between Israel and Iran this year at all. Please be praying for peace in that area and for discernment for the leadership in Israel. Pray also for the innocent people in Iran who are not involved in politics and don't make the decisions over there. On a good note we had an amazing study last night and William and myself were asked to teach for a few minutes. I struggled with it for a good bit of the day and then prayed about it and gave it to the Lord. He calmed my fears and let me rest in studying out the word belief. I looked at several scriptures where this word is used throughout all the scriptures. It is amazing that belief is tied to faith and action and not confession. It is a two part deal. William was also asked to share/teach and he looked at some of the same scripture that Pastor Weintraub started in that morning at study John 8:31. He branched off and asked some great questions like in verse 33, in bondage to what? He went to John 15 and talked about abiding in the Lord, What does that mean? Also Galatians 5:16, and other places adding on to walking in the Spirit. Take a look at these scriptures and feel free to ask the Lord for others and examine what is believing? (Genesis 15:6; Exodus 4:5; Daniel 6:23; 2 Chronicles 20:20; Psalm 119:66 with Psalm 119:166; James 2:19; John 11:25-26; John 14:10-17; John 20:24-31; Hebrews 11:6; Philippians 1:29) Again don't limit your search to just these scriptures but really ask yourself what is it to believe?
