HOW CAN I MAKE A MESS OF MY LIFE? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com

Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.

Psalms 119:12 Thy Word have I hid in mine heart, that I might sin not against God.

Judges 14:1 And Samson WENT DOWN To Timnath, AND SAW A WOMAN of the daughters of the Philistines.

Judges 14:2 And Samson came up and told his Father and his Mother --- NOW GET HER FOR ME! NOW!

Luke 17:32 Remember Lot’s wife?

John 6:66 From that time many of HIS disciples went BACK, and walked with him no more.

Let us study how we can make a mess out of our life’s.

I.TO HELP MESS UP YOUR LIFE READ THE TV GUIDE AND READERS’ DIGEST AND SPORTS ILLUSTRATED.

If you want to mess up your life and your family and have a weak anemic church, don’t read your Bible!

We read the TV preachers’ books, we listen to the tapes of successful individuals, we buy video tapes of great polished, edited singing, we go to seminars and learn the HOW TO’s, we take classes, we have many commentaries by the GREAT of their days, we read about the preachers’ of the past and how wonderful they were, we try to compete with Hollywood and Dollywood, but we are very weak in the word of God.

Our kids know more about Bert and Ernie, Purple Barney, Bob the Builder, Sponge Bob, Spiderman, Superman, and Santa Claus than they know the stories of eternal value from the Bible.

Young people can sing the lyrics of this world’s songs and sing the tunes of many commercials. I recently read that a commercial never really entered into the mind of the beholder until they had seen the same commercial 5 times. These same young people know all the secret paths and tricks of the computer games where they can spend endless hours

doing things that are absolutely worthless.

Many young people can know for facts every deviation that a Pokemon character can transform, and know very little about the heroes of the faith of the Bible. Kids can spout off the phone numbers of 20 friends and family. They have their own beepers and cell phones and can maneuver the Internet with great success, but their heads are full of ill advised selfishness. The Word of God does the work of God.

Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.

When temptation knocks the Word of God must answer. The Word of God has little power unless a human reads it and acts by faith upon the Word!

David learned a great answer --- the only way to overcome the world is by the Word of God.

Psalms 119:12 Thy Word have I hid in mine heart , that I might not sin against God.

There is a secret that few learn, you will never arise in public greater than you are in your private devotion closet!

We heard about a lady that read her Bible faithfully several times a day. Many years she had prayed for her husband to know Jesus as his Savior and Lord. The lady had serious eye surgery and could not see to read for several months.

The lady was very mad at God for loosing her eye sight and not being able to read her dearly beloved Word of God.

One day her husband of many years came in and said, Dear I know how you love to read the Bible, and I promise you, until you can read it again, I will read it to you.

The next Sunday, he said, Honey, I will take you to church. He did. Daily, when he came in from work he read the precious book to his precious wife. He saw where she had high lighted,

he read her little notes of learning, and he read the word of God to her.

One day as he was reading the Word, the Word grabbed his heart and he started crying, and he decided he would serve

Jesus the rest of his life. In her blindness, he received his sight. What was terrible to the old lady became an answer to

her prayer life? All of this because the Word of God is powerful and quicker than any two-edged sword.

Psalms 107:20 He sent His Word, and healed them and delivered them from their destructions.

There are many benefits to reading, studying, and knowing the Word of God.

If you want to mess up your life and your family and have a weak anemic church, don’t read your Bible!

Healing can be hidden within the Word of God! Deliverance from destruction can be found in the power of God’s book!
