The following scriptures referenced with this fourth habit are related to Repentance for our Sins by showing our Reverence to the Almighty Father God and His son Lord Jesus Christ.
We begin with Matthew 4:17
From then on Jesus began to preach, “Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.
Acts 2:38
Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 2:4
Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?
2 Corinthians 7:10
For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death.
I pray that you will ask for forgiveness and Repent from sinning on this day forward, if you haven’t before now.
Receive this Blessing beloved!

Seek the Kingdom of God* above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:33
Hello to all and my apologies for not posting for awhile.
I have been involved in so many things and then my computer crashed and I’ll just say that it’s all good now.
I just completed Discovery Training (8 weeks), Ministry Training (4 weeks) and a 3 day retreat, at my local church here in Texas and I am excited to begin posting what I have learned (discovered) about Scripture and Ministering (praying for people).
Beginning soon I will start to post the Discovery Process in the “Christianity” category. This awesome process will awaken your mind, your heart and your soul. Here is a sneak peek at the agenda;
1. An Intensity For God
2. A Heart To Win The Lost
3. Dedication To Building Relationships
4. A Disciplined Lifestyle
5. Commitment To Family
6. Sacrificial Giving
7. Worship and Equipping The Saints (Bonus #1)
8. Finding the Holy Spirit (Bonus #2)
Next, I will begin the process of offering Prayer to anyone who would like my Ministry Team to pray for them. In an effort to keep your requests private and confidential, you will need to Send Me Your Prayer Requests via the “Contact Me” form, listed under “Pages”. I will reply with the Prayers we will pray for you in response to your request if you include your email address. I respect Privacy and do not keep email addresses.
For the brothers and sisters from countries outside the USA, who are using the translator, you will need to use the “Contact Me” form in English, for now, so you can enter the code necessary for your Prayer Requests to get to me. I will alert you as to when the translator plugin will allow the code to be translated so you folks won’t have to change the language to English.
Looking forward to getting this to you…
Steve

Jesus replied, Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it, Love your neighbor as yourself. Matthew 22:37-39 NIV/NLT
I received an email this weekend, from one of my wonderful Christian friends, that included a link to an awesome website that features; Love Letters from Our Father, An Intimate Message From God To You, in video format.
I came across the message of this post from my Christian neighbor and wanted to share it with all of you.
I think this post explains it better than any of the ways I would have explained it.
“The Ultimate Source Of Wisdom”
As you go through life you discover that there are many ways to gain wisdom, such as: (1) Writing down and reflecting on what you learned through experience. (2) Gleaning from the collective knowledge of others. “by pride comes nothing but strife, but with the well advised is wisdom” (Proverbs 13:10 NKJV). (3) Thinking outside the box. Statements like, “This is the way we do things around here” warrant scrutiny when they’re used to defend ways that no longer work. (4) Not rushing to closure. Growth is always a work in progress. Creativity is untidy and unnerving. The ability to stay focused and faith-filled in the midst of change is a hallmark of maturity.
But the ultimate source of wisdom is God! If you need wisdom, talk to God: “For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding” (Proverbs 2:6 NKJV). “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally…and it will be given to him” (James 1:5 NKJV). “But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy” (Jamse 3:17 NKJV). “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go, I will guide you” (Psalm 32:8 NKJV).
Ask the Lord God Almighty for the spirit of wisdom as often as you need to!

Listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end you will be wise. Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails. Proverbs 19:20-21 NIV/NLT
Psalm 117 is the shortest chapter in the Bible. Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible. Psalm 118 is at the center of the Bible. There are 594 chapters in the Bible before Psalm 118, and 594 chapters after Psalm 118 for a total of 1188 chapters total in the Bible.
This number can be split at Psalm 118:8. Now we know that the chapter divisions in the bible are not part of original Scripture, but isn’t it interesting how this small word exercise worked out? Or was God in the center of it all? And if He was, shouldn’t the central verse of the Bible contain the central theme? It does: “It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in people.”
In Psalm 118 (NLT) the psalmist recalls seven reasons why God is worthy to be trusted:
1. (verse 5) “In my distress I prayed to the LORD,
and the LORD answered me and set me free.”
2. (verse 6) “The LORD is for me, so I will have no fear.
What can mere people do to me?”
3. (verse 7) “Yes, the LORD is for me; he will help me.
I will look in triumph at those who hate me.”
4. (verse 17) “I will not die; instead, I will live
to tell what the LORD has done.”
5. (verse 18) “The LORD has punished me severely,
but he did not let me die.”
6. (verse 24) “This is the day the LORD has made.
We will rejoice and be glad in it.”
7. (verse 29) “Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever.”
