Things you lose when you follow Christ teaching…

Things you lose when you follow Christ teaching…

but now do you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth: lie not one to another; seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings, and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of Him that created Him...Colossians 3:8-10. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and railing, be put away from you, with all malice: and be you kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you...Ephesians 4:31-32. Howbeit if ye fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well...James 2:8.


When we truly love our neighbors as ourselves we begin to change the way we behave. When we truly look to do what is best for someone then we cannot be acting in malice or ill will but are seeking what is best for their soul. We do not want wrath for the things in which we done so we show forgiveness as Jesus teaches us to forgive in order to be forgiven. To love when hated to forgive when wronged…are you loving your neighbor as yourself and forgiving as Christ forgave you…yes or no?


Prayer

Father please remove all the bad in life and help us love our neighbors as our own selves…please meet our soul’s deepest need and heal us from our pasts…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Contentment is wanting what you have…

Contentment is wanting what you have…

You shall not covet…more than you have been given. Do you covet more than God has given you? or are you content? I know sometimes I want it all and a box of chocolates…but am grateful I have food, clothing, shelter and a job to help me sustain. Is it hard to see everything you have coming from God…and to want no more than what He has given? Jesus promises enough not a mansion in Malibu. Listen to what Jesus said… But if God doth so clothes the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof...Matthew 6:30-34.

 

So seek God’s will and not your own…seek God above all things today and tomorrow if the Lord does not come back today. If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth. For you died, and your life is hid with Christ in God...Colossians 3:1-3. Are you seeking wisdom…understanding…peace…reconciliation? Yes or no? We are told to go make it right with man so we can be right with God…listen… If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that thy brother hath aught (reason to accuse you of offense) against you, leave there your gift before the altar, and go your way, first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift...Matthew 5:23-24. Are you at peace and reconciled with your brothers and sisters? Yes or no?

 

Perhaps you were the one offended or done wrong…

Put on therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye: and above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness...Colossians 3:12-14.

 

Prayer

Father please grant us repentance wherever needed and help us to be right with our fellow man and You…please meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal our past mistakes…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Warning not to be lead astray by false teachers and Christians…

Warning not to be lead astray by false teachers and Christians…

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know you the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God...1 John 4:1-2. But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall privily bring in destructive heresies (teachings), denying even the Master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their lascivious (bad lusts) doings; by reason of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of...2 Peter 2:1-2. Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by Your name, and by Your name cast out demons, and by Your name do many mighty works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, you that work iniquity (Your own will…lawlessness)...Matthew 7:21-23.

 

How do you determine truth from error…when Jesus said the truth will set you free…

You must read and study the Bible to obtain and retain the truth of what is written. We must have a it is written vocabulary and knowledge base from the New Testament of Christ. The New Testament of Christ is the New Agreement in effect today with our Creator brought to us by Jesus Christ dying and being raised from the dead. Jesus teaching is the Law by which we will be Judged on the Final Day of Judgement. We can check the words of those who teach us with Holy Bible to see if it is written and is therefore true.

 

Prayer

Father please help us not to be lead astray by false teachers but to know the truth and be free to practice the truth. Please meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal any soul wounds…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
