GOD IS KING OF KINGS

“But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.” Galatians 6:14 The cross of Jesus Christ should be very important to you, not as a piece of wood fastened in a church building or as the crucifixes in purses of superstitious Catholics, but rather as the death by which you were saved and the death to this world and sin that you ought to live every day.

t Of all the gifts given to mankind by God, there is none greater than the presence of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit has many functions, roles, and activities. First, He does a work in the hearts of all people everywhere. Jesus told the disciples that He would send the Spirit into the world to “convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment” (John 16:7-11). Everyone has a “God consciousness,” whether or not they admit it. The Spirit applies the truths of God to minds of men to convince them by fair and sufficient arguments that they are sinners. Responding to that conviction brings men to salvation. Once we are saved and belong to God, the Spirit takes up residence in our hearts forever, sealing us with the confirming, certifying, and assuring pledge of our eternal state as His children. Jesus said He would send the Spirit to us to be our Helper, Comforter, and Guide. “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever” ...

"Are you sure you want to be possessed by a spirit other than your own? Even though that spirit be the pure Spirit of God? Even though He be the very gentle essence of the gentle Jesus? Even though He be wisdom personified, w isdom H imself? Even though He be as loving as the heart of God?"  -   

Over the years, I've discovered from Scripture and experience that God loves to answer our prayers. Here are five of his most frequent answers: "No, I love you too much." The Lord of the universe isn't under obligation to say "yes" to every prayer. That's a good thing, considering some of the things we request! But sometimes God says "no" to our most heartfelt requests. Have you discovered this to be true in your own life? I certainly have. When my friend Diane started losing her hearing. When my mother-in-law came down with polio. When my nephew contracted AIDS. I would be known as Luis Palau, Jr. if it weren't for the fact that God said "no" to my most earnest childhood prayers.
