Instructions Are a Way of Life — The Word of God Speak to Us
Do you want instruction? It can be yours.
Why won’t Christians listen to sound doctrine many times? Rebellion, stubbornness and pride, I believe is often why.
The LORD wants to help all of us to be set free from these spirits operating. The Bible says:
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9.
Good morning.
This song I found for the first time. I hope it ministers to each one of us.
We need a straight path to walk on, that’s for sure. Crooked paths where there is deception will get us in spiritual trouble fast!
“For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:” Proverbs 6:23.
What is rebellion, stubbornness and pride? We will discover from the Scriptures.
“For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of The LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.” 1 Samuel 15:23.
(You will see above, it caused Saul his kingdom.)
Disobedience and sin always will cost us!
“But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.” Jeremiah 7:24.
“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” Proverbs 16:18.
The LORD wants His children walking in forgiveness and love. Do you want to know how we will know we are His children?
Simple: “We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death,” (1 John 3:14).
We must endure sound doctrine. It will help us grow up and be mature in The LORD.
“If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.” 1 Timothy 6:3-5.
God bless you all.
“Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see The LORD: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.” Hebrews 12:11-17.
“My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.” Proverbs 4:20-26.

My name is Joyce D. McGuire, called to work in and for the Kingdom of God! To lead we must try to follow Jesus Christ closely. That is my heart. I am a Chaplain to the prisons; prophetic intercessor by His grace; author; and a Mother in the Kingdom of God. To many I am simply Mama Joyce. Some favorite verses of mine are Matthew 11:28-30.
Joyce, you find the greatest songs! Never heard this one..so good! Indeed we must listen with our whole heart. I couldn’t agree more with Bev. You are God’s treasure full of golden nuggets!! Great is your reward, dear one. xoxo Sandi
Thank you much Sandi. The message we bring backed up by the Word of God needs to penetrate the heart.
The songs often get our hearts ready to receive. That is my prayer, that it will work together. Love you my friend and sister.
Joyce, Good sound teaching! LOVE IT & SO TRUE.
I saw the LORD’S hand reach out to you. In His hands were nuggets of gold, all for you!
You reached out to take one. He said, “Oh no, not just one, but all. They are all for you, for all the treasures you speak to My children & for the treasure you are to Me. You are My BELOVED TREASURE for the world. Reach out for MORE! I have so much more, beyond your imagination!”
Blessings! Bev
Bev, as I read of course it made me cry. The Lord is so beautiful and tender to His children! I thank you for the delivery of the mail.
If people only sought after Him instead of the gods of this world. Still many are blinded by the deceitfulness of sin.
God bless you, Bev and I honor you.
The Lord spoke to me “It is My honor you are bestowing upon her child. She seeks for My very heart.”
There are no play games about you. I love you sis
So true sister Joyce. Many lack spending qualjty time in the word for the renewal of minds, which is a powerful thing to have the mind of Christ. Many blessings to you and praying that this word will encourage many to be committed.
Thank you Jennifer for your reply. That is so true! God bless you. Hugs
