Sharper Than a Two Edged Sword 

  By:Robert A. Searles
      "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and ntents of the heart." Hebrews 4:12.
      Perhaps this is why some of us avoid the preaching of the word, and neglect to read the bible, and deprive our selves of the blessing and fellowship of God our Father.

 When we read the bible, or hear the word preached, it tears us apart and reveals to us all the hidden, secrets of a darkened soul. It shows us how black the heart of man is without the cleansing of the blood of Christ. It shows us how we measure up to God when compared to his dear son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
      But, oh!  what blessings we receive when we allow the word of God to accomplish its' purpose in us, when we allow the Holy Spirit to take the word of God and go down into the basement of our lives, as it were, and search out all the trash and garbage that is there in the depths of our soul, and bring it to our attention and give us the grace to confess and repent of all the evil that is within us, and make room for the filling of the Holy Spirit.
      Every creature is naked before God. Even if we neglect to listen to God speaking to us through his word, yet -  "Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. Seeing then that we have a great high priest that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities,; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." Hebrews 4: 13-16.

Preparing to Meet Jesus: A 21-Day Challenge to Move from Salvation to Transformation

Our Bridegroom is coming! When you at long last meet Him face to face, will you be pleasing to Him? This 21-day challenge from beloved Bible teacher Anne Graham Lotz and her daughter Rachel-Ruth offers timeless inspiration to help ensure you are fully prepared for that crucial moment.

The biblical book of Genesis describes how Abraham sent his servant to find a suitable bride for his son Isaac--and how that servant found Rebekah, a woman of remarkable character who met the father's criteria. That same story is an allegory of how God seeks a bride for His Son Jesus.

With this in mind, Anne Graham Lotz and Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright explore the characteristics God the Father is seeking to find in the bride of His Son, Jesus. This twenty-one-day challenge, with prompts for reflection and prayer, will move you from salvation to transformation. Each reading will inspire you to ready yourself for the day you meet Jesus by choosing now to be the bride He is looking and longing for, one characterized by humility, selflessness, generosity, and other key qualities of one whose heart is prepared to meet the Bridegroom.
