Pull. Don’t Push.

Saw this picture and was reminded of a verse from Acts 9:5 (KJV) about “kicking against the pricks”.

It’s about attempting to ‘push’ against God’s will for one’s life instead of pulling open the door in the direction He has in store for us.

There are times I feel God’s not listening to me or not answering my prayers when I don’t get the answer for which I’m praying.

Sometimes the answer is “Pull” instead of “Push”, meaning, He answered and I just didn’t like His answer.

Still, I continue to push against a door He means for me to pull.

The result, of course, is frustration, especially when I stubbornly refuse to believe that what He has in store for me will be so much more satisfying than what I think I want.

There was only one tree in Eden from which they COULDN’T eat.

There were thousands from which they COULD.

Foundations of Faith

The basic doctrines, the foundation, of the Christian faith are the subject of this completely online Bible study course.

Foundations of Faith

There are two reasons for failure to live a victorious Christian life. The first reason is that some who are trying to live like Christians have never been born again. They do not understand the basic doctrines of Jesus Christ. The second reason for failure is not going on to spiritual maturity. The focus of this study is that maturity.

Kingdom Living

All men live in a natural kingdom of this world. They live in a city or village which is part of a nation. That nation is a kingdom of the world. In addition to the natural kingdoms of this world there are two spiritual kingdoms which exist.

Kingdom Living

Every person alive is a resident of one of these two kingdoms: The kingdom of Satan or the Kingdom of God. This study concerns the Kingdom of God. It introduces the two spiritual kingdoms, their rulers, and residents. It provides spiritual keys for gaining access to the Kingdom of God and warns of things which result in being cast out.
