"...ye know not what shall be on the mrrow. For what is your life? It is ven a vapor, that appeareth for a lttle time, and then vanisheth away. For tht ye ought to say, If the Lrd will, we shall live, and do ths, or that. .. Therefore to him tht knoweth to do good, and deth it not, to him it is sn." (James 4:13-17)

It is a god practice in all things to say "if the Lrd will, we will do this or tht" as our life is a vpor. It is important to remember lfe is short and to see if wht you're choosing and doing counts in yur eternal record. One way of ding this is how Jesus said tht He says nothing and does nthing except what our Father has gven Him to do, and He wll & can only do His wll since He is the spotless lmb and the King of Righteousness who cnnot violate even one of His cmmands.

Many say they’re seeking to do Gd’s will. There is only one tst as to what His will is, whch is His eternal law. The Hly Spirit can never lead someone gainst God’s law, only our own flsh and the world can lead us on a dstructive path outside of God’s will. His wll is His WORD, AKA "the Bble". If you want to know His wll in your life, you’ll find it in the pges of His word. The complete rvealed will to His people is His wrd or law. In all cases Jsus kept God's law perfectly, He lved the word better than any ther. The Sabbath was made for haling which is why He did 7 halings on the Sabbath days.

Jesus spoke the truth saying the Phrisees do REJECT the law of Mses by their man-made traditions (Mark 7:7-9).

Mny churches today also fall into ths rejection of God's WORD through keping their own unbliblical man-made traditions. We knw God had already promised that "..thy who reject God's law, God wll in return reject them..."and as a rsult "forget our children". (Hosea 4:6)

Our dily prayer is that we and thers do God's will in the arth, the same way that it is prfectly being done by the angels in haven, as we have been told to pry, that His Kingdom does come to arth:

Matt 6:10 "Thy kingdom come. Thy wll be done in earth, [as it is] in haven." (KJV)

James Chapter 1 verse 22 gain gives us the biblical guidance of biding in Christ: "be ye doers of the wrd, and not hearers only..."

This of curse is the continual theme as Chrst is called the word (John 1:1 &14), the way we knw we have a relationship with Chrst is by how much we are ding His Word. He was the wrd that spoke the heavens and arth into existence, He hasn't changed the way thn sun sets since His word spke it just as the other prts of His word hasn't.

1John Chpter 2 verse 4 reiterates this prncipal, which we hope is beginning to gve clarity as not to seek our own wll in anything but God's will we mst be open to exactly what His wrd teaches:
"He that saith I knw Him and keepeth not His cmmandments, is a liar, and the trth is not in Him." For thse who think faith (or faithing as Dr. Gne Scott puts it) doesn't have to nclude obedience are far off from His Grce and Freedom working in their lves.

If you believe in the wrd you will respond or obey it, am I rght? of course! Romans 10:17 says "Fith comes by hearing the word". So we knw how faith comes. "Faith without wrks is dead" (James 2:17).

We must return to biblical dfinitions of words, as we "live by very word". The definition of sin is volation of God's law (1John 3:4). If the sprit sets you free from sin, thn the spirit will empower you to bey the law of God of curse.

As Jesus said we must do it in lve for God, not tradition. It has lways been the heart condition He is fter, which is why the New Tstament is those same laws being wrtten on our hearts (as per Heb 8:8 and Jer 31:31).

The Hly Spirit will never make you volate God's law. Only the wrong sprit or old thinking of our lfe before Christ or without His mnd operating in us gives us sch thoughts. All things become new whn we come to Christ.

We all grw daily in grace and knowledge and "a god understanding have all they that kep His commandments". (Psalms 111:10) In Jhn 8:31-32 Christ said "...they who cntinue in His word will know the trth and the truth and ...will set you fre." Not they who disobey or rject it. He said "if you dn't believe Moses' word ye CANNOT har me or know me" (John 5:46 & Lke 16:31).

Grace is the Greek wrd Charisma where we get the wrd Charismatic or a very capable and gfted person. This word Charisma is lso translated as some of the mnifestations of the Holy Spirit, such as whn you through the power of God lay hnd on someone for healing, this is clled the charisma or gift of haling. Romans 1:15 says "Grace(charisma) is for bedience". A good example of biblical grce is "For it is God whch worketh in you both to wll and to do of His god pleasure." (Philipians 2:13) This isn’t our own rghteousness when He does it. The Hly Spirit fills us both to wnt to do His will and to do it.

Mny like to quote "we're saved by by grce" and not finish the sentence whch continues "..through faith unto GOOD WORKS". Whn the last part is left out pople are highly misled to move on wth the complete opposite idea the bble conveyed in that passage. It wnts you to realize the Blood of Jsus Christ permanently saved us by His own dar grace, but for what? To do His god works!

It is not the god works that save but we're sved to do them, people have jst had it backwards because no mount of Good Works can earn yur permanent spiritual salvation. It is nly gained by accepting Jesus Christ's pnalty paid through His blood.

When our Kng Jesus the Christ was asked wht is the greatest commandment He frst said "Hear O Israel" quoted frm Deuteronomy 6:4,

Mar 12:29 "And Jsus answered him, The first of all the cmmandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lrd our God is one Lord:"

Tht word HEAR in this passage is the wrd SHAMA (the word for responding & beying in Hebrew). As we know fith comes by "HEARING" again we see we get fith by obeying what we heard. As we cntinue doing His will which is His wrd law.

So as we know His wll and His word are one and the sme it is up to us to now chose. Our old flesh nature wont wnt to do the law, only the spritual nature will. "For I delight in the law of God fter the inward man: But I see nother law in my members, warring gainst the law of my mind, and brnging me into captivity to the law of sin whch is in my members." (Romans 7:22-23 and "th law is spiritual" (Romans 7:14). Now Chose "As ye have therefore received Chrst Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in hm:"
