God does give unto His people visions, dreams, and near-death experiences. He speaks to His elect, even in our time.
2 Corinthians 11 :3,4 (KJV)
3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4...
Be not deceived into following false apostles and prophets. They come bearing another gospel, which is leading people astray.
2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (KJV)
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
If we trust in God, then He will fight on our behalf. His workings in us will showcase His mighty power and strength.
2 Corinthians 9 :8-10 (KJV)
8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
9 (As it...
A cheerful giver is expected out of every faithful Christian. This is doing God’s will unto others as it is in heaven.
2 Corinthians 8 :8,9 (KJV)
8 I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
9 For ye know the grace of our...
Prove your love for one another and God as you abound in God’s grace. Your humility and kind acts of service will be seen.
2 Corinthians 7:8-10 (KJV)
8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season.
9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
If you are living in sin or have recently sinned against God, then you need to cry out to the Lord for forgiveness.
2 Corinthians 6 :14,15 (KJV)
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with...
When we come to Christ, out lives are different. We no longer hang out with the wrong crowds but fellowship with believers instead.
2 Corinthians 5 :6-8 (KJV)
6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
7 (For we walk by faith, not by...
Jesus is our judge and calls us by name. Come before Him, who is King, that You may be accepted on that great and dreadful day.
Matthew 23 :37-39 (KJV)
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth...
God desires to gather His children like chickens, but still, they deny Him. The Jews will know their wrongs in Jesus’s return.
2 Corinthians 4:1,2 (KJV)
1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
No matter what we were doing that we enjoyed before finding Jesus, if it went against God’s holy standards, it is given up.
2 Corinthians 3:12-14 (KJV)
12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
13 And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
There is no more veil over the faces of those people who truly believe in Jesus unto salvation. The Holy Spirit is with them now.
2 Corinthians 3 :16-18 (KJV)
16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is,...
As Christians, we turn our lives over to Christ willingly that His Spirit may dwell with us instead of the evils of this world.
2 Corinthians 2 :14-17 (KJV)
14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
15 For we...
Only Jesus knows who truly have triumphed in this life and are saved. He knows who really came to know Him unto salvation.
Romans 4:1-5 (KJV)
1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
There are missing scriptures in the Bible, but many of these scriptures are not so lost but are here for us to read today.
2 Corinthians 1:9-11 (KJV)
9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
11 Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
It is important in life that we put our trust in God, not always people. People do fail us in life, but God never fails us.
1 Corinthians 16 :13 (KJV)
13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
