Daily Devotion by JM Bayona. Hebrews 4:13 "And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account." No creature is hidden from the Lord's sight. I'm sure that we think that the sin that we do will not be found out unless someone sees us or someone tells on us. What a misconception. You believe in God, but even the demons believe and tremble, James 2:19. So believe that God knows all that you do in secret and put that faith in action. Know that you will get judged for that whether you are believer in Christ or not. The hope for the believer in Christ is that he will not receive the rightfully owed punishment that is due to him. But, the hope for believers in Christ is not only for the future, but also for today! He provides us with the strength and power to resist the incarcerating power of sin with the Spirit of
God that now resides in us and the renewing of our mind by His word.

Daily Devotion by JM Bayona. 2Corinthians 13:2 ''I warned those who sinned before and all the others, and I warn them now while absent, as I did when present on my second visit, that if I come again I will not spare them'' - The boldness of Paul that seems to have been forgotten by churches today. There is no political correctness to this, but instead a defense of the truth. There is no compromising on behalf of someone's feelings, but instead a need for correction so that God may be glorified through someone's life. Why do we bypass Scriptures that teach church discipline like Matt 18 or 1Corinthians 5? We have even lost the true meaning of ''where two or three are gathered'' and attributed it to a matter of prayer when it really has to do with the correction of a believer. If you are corrected by two or more people and it aligns with God's word, then most likely he is in agreement
with the correction. So be bold and speak Gods truth without compromise. The purpose is in love for them

Daily Devotion by JM Bayona. Outreach on Saturday from 12-3 on the corner of Orange and 25th St in Fort Pierce. Call Stephen for more info at 7729854629. 2Corinthians 12:15 ''I will most gladly spend or be spent for your souls.'' - Paul is talking about being spent or spending on behalf of the Corinthian church. He probably doesnt have in mind anything monetary, although that could be included, but instead he means being spent physically and spiritually by just giving his time and effort to them. Lets go back though, and figure out how one gets here. First of all, Paul is fulfilling the great commission - to make disciples, Matt 28:19. This is a good to evaluate how we are doing in fulfilling one of Christ's last command. In order to do this we would need to share our faith. Then we would need to teach them the word and guide them in their life. We must not forget about following up
with them too, like Paul is doing here. We need to be dedicated to making disciples, until we're spent.

Visit Www.Koinonialounge.com to listen to messages given at the lounge. 2Corinthians 11:4 ''For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough.''- Once again, Paul at it again. He's not trying to befriend the false apostles within the Corinthian church, which was the church he birthed. Thats why its no wonder, when they fell into the blunder of false teaching which is weaker than the true gospel of Jesus. And they put up with it readily enough, they didnt say anything to defend their faith of the gospel of grace. Thats why Paul was upset and disappointed because his example of suffering and serving wasnt what they wanted. Sounds like the blasphemous prosperity gospel and
like Paul we get shunned if we say anything about it. But we must! Cause many are deceived through lust.

081908 Scripture Talk

Daily devotion by JM Bayona. 2Corinthians 10:5 ''We...take every thought captive to obey Christ.'' - A sudden switch in moods by Paul the Apostle in chapter ten from the first nine. Starting in this chapter, Paul begins his rebuke almost drastically. So sudden in fact, that some believe that the rest of the book might have been a completely different book at first. But the argument for that point of view is very weak and doesnt change what is being said at all. The Apostle begins to address the false teachers that we hear about in the first letter to the Corinthians. Paul says that the weapons against these false teachers are not of the flesh, v.4, but instead the spiritual ones of Ephesians 6:10ff. He says that in order to purify the church they need to take EVERY thought captive and bring it under obedience to Christ, to make sure it lines up with God's word. And the same goes for our
own minds. We MUST examine ALL of our thoughts in the light of Scripture and make it submit to God.

Daily Devotion by JM Bayona. Visit www.committedtotheacts.blogspot.com. 2Corinthians 9:1 ''Now it is superfluous for me to write to you about the ministry to the saints''- It is superfla...who? It is superfluous, or redundant, or over said. Paul is speaking specifically about financial support for ministry. He says its redundant, its over said, its superfluous for him to talk to them about it because they already know the deal. They should already know whats expected. Basically, you are saved, you know the Lord, the gospel has changed your life and you know it could change people's lives. So you should now be committed to giving your life and your financial support to that cause. First of all, our lives are not ours, its God's, and neither is our money. Its all His, we are just stewards, or borrowers. We say we trust Him with our souls but dont trust Him with our finances, what kind of
faith is that? Does not Christ say that if He takes care of the birds He WILL take care of you(Luk12)

Daily Devotion by JM Bayona. 2Corinthians 8:9 ''For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for our sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.''- Eternal, unchanging, royal, self-sustaining...that is who He is. Vulnerable, impovershed, susceptible...is who He became. The king became a servant, so that the servants may be kings. What an awesome act and gift! Why do many reject it? Unbelief perhaps? Too good to be true? Thats absolutely correct! But it is true! I implore you, as an ambassador to Christ, be reconciled with God, be brought to peace with Him, through the gift of His Son's sacrifice. Any other sacrifice, including yourself, is like a filthy rag...its no good, and please dont be arrogant in thinking otherwise. Why be brought to peace? Do you not think that you are at war with Him? Look at your life now as an example.
its going rough for a reason. If its going well, He's storing up His wrath. Let Christ absorb it.
