Scriptures are Vital to your Walk and vital for Your Spiritual growth We here at Heart to Heart had said at the first of the year that we are going to talk about spiritual growth in the year 2015, We are in our 15 year and all we do and how far we go is because we Go by the scriptures that God has written though the many men from Abraham to Mosses to Daniel to Paul to all the disciples God is the author of the good Book that means he handpicked the scriptures And the men who had a part of writing the word & you learn from them & this Great Book Mathew 4:4 Jesus said it is written Man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. So the words say it straight out comes from the mouth of God so why do we need to read the word? Why do we grow? How do ministries prosper? Good question the answer is Scriptures
and like it says here they come from God. With Scriptures We Prosper Psalms 18; 7 The law of the lord is perfect reviving the soul the statutes of the lord are trustworthy making wise the simple. Look on earth there is the law of man or the law of land but now there is also the law in the Lord & your Christian walk and that comes from the Scriptures so for us as we need to follow Gods words ways & Scriptures Gods not asking us to memorize every word but to read every word the words are like Gold they will help grow move and prosper in our walks why do you think the word is the number one Book. Romans 15:4 Everything that is written in the past was written to teach us so through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
If you go from the start of the bible to the end and you look at the first 5 that mosses wrote you understand why the book is critical to our walks & lives as I teach at church nursing homes I always say that if you do not pick up the word. You will not learn you will not prosper but if you are obedient to reading you will go a long way There is so many Like Moses Daniel Paul that are Great authors Hebrews 4:12 The word of God is living and active sharper than any doubled edged sword it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit joints and morrow it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. There was a reason why the word was written why they were said why God had many servants put them into words and how every one learns and grows in our leadership classes we try hard to Teach why scriptures are important to are walks but I want you to also understand Do not ever change the words of God there is a reason why God had all written one way

if you change a verse and it does not add up that is wrong and it says so in the bible 2 timothy 3; 16-17 All Scriptures is God Breathed and is useful for teaching rebuking correcting and training is righteousness so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. What is this saying every work comes from God yes he uses man but the word comes from the lord I have said many times that scriptures not only help those lost but even the found to teach them to keep moving forward to prosper the things God shows this ministry is what we use to Move forward on are journey like I said this ministry does not belong to man but it is the Lords ministry so every Tool he hands us we will use to help those prosper in the Lords work. I had also said that the Scriptures are vital to your spiritual life; let me say this many times I hear others say I read the Bible once you need to read it over & over Again Let me ask you a Question and please be honest with me how many times do you really read the word or scriptures in a
day Tell the Truth Because Jesus already knows the answer to what I asked. Joshua 1:8 Do not let this book of the law depart from your mouth meditate on it day and night so that you may be careful to do everything written in it Then you will be prosperous and successful. This verse is the only reason Heart to Heart is successful Because of the Lord the Word the scriptures and the Laws of God, man did not create this ministry No! Man only is used to serve in the ministry, all the laws we obey and follow through the Lords Laws and where do you find the laws in the scriptures and we need to go by them Amen Deuteronomy7:12 If you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them then the Lord your God will keep his covenant of love with you as he swore to your forefathers. You know who the forefather where it goes from Abraham to mosses to Daniel to Jesus to Paul to john how many of you take their words to heart? It says pay attention Right? (Do you?) Look I will not preach a word unless I can back it up from Scripture You need to do the same thing that is the only way to prosper. Psalms 119:185
Great peace have thy who love your law and nothing can make them stumble. Let me end with this as you need food & Water to survive the same goes with Scriptures without them you cannot survive its true water food nourishes you Right? What do you think scriptures? Do they feed you so you can grow teach learn and move forward that is how we Grow not only spiritually but faithfully there is a reason why Heart to Heart has gone on for over 15 years because we all want to grow spiritually and the only way to do that is by the Scriptures That Came from the Great Book Called the Bible So I end with this do not neglect the bible the word or the Scriptures that are there to help you learn spiritually serve & grow. It is already February so if you Cold & have nothing to do pick up the word of God and Read no matter how many times you read it you will always get something new. ____________________ The Importance of

Good Works Good works have sometimes been downplayed by Protestant evangelicals due to teachings that have tried to make them as the basis or condition of salvation. While this concern is valid, one should not downplay them in the context of the Christian life, rather

they need to be emphasized. While we are not saved by good works we are saved for good works. Paul writes, “We are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared beforehand so we may do them” (Eph 2:10).
Questions 1. Should we as Christians obey out of love only or is the concept of rewards a good motivation to serve God as well?
2. What has worked for you and what has not
worked in trying to have a quiet time? James adds to this concept pointing out that there is a relationship between faith and works in that 3. What has worked for you and what has not good works mature our faith. “You see that his worked in trying to have a prayer life? faith was working together with his works and his faith was perfected by works . . . . 4. Why don’t some Christians go to church? For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead” (Jas 2:22, 26). Years ago, the Salvation Army was holding an international convention and their founder, General William Booth, could not attend because of physical weakness. He cabled his convention message to them. It was one word: “OTHERS.” When we shift our focus of life from our self to others, good works will naturally flow out of a life empowered by God.
5. In sharing the gospel, have did you ever have a really good experience doing it? Explain or share.
6. In sharing the gospel, have you ever have a really bad experience doing it? Explain or share. How does focusing on eternity help us in this present life?

On Christmas morning, a little girl was singing “Happy birthday to you.” Below in the kitchen making breakfast her mother immediately thought, “Dear little thing is all confused. She’s gotten Christmas mixed with someone’s birthday. But as she listened more closely she heard her daughter sing, “Happy birthday, dear Jesus, happy birthday to you.” We are reminded of Your statements regarding childlike faith. Matt 18:3: And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”
