Ever heard of The Apple of My Eye…The Desire of My Eyes…The Light of The Eye…listen to as it is written…

Where your treasure is so is there your heart

Jesus said…for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single (if you have tunnel vision seeking the light), your whole body shall be full of light. But if your eye be evil (if you seek not the light), your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you be darkness, how great is the darkness…(if you walk not in the light then your good deeds are not of the light but the darkness)…

…He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathers not with me scatters…

…Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by its fruit. Ye offspring of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man out of his good treasure bringeth forth good things: and the evil man out of his evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. And I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

(Mat 6:21-23 Mat 12:33-37 Mat 12:30)

 


Jesus is the truth...the light...you need for your soul's freedom

Jesus also said…

Again therefore Jesus spoke unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life…Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by Me…Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

(Joh 14:6 Joh 8:12 Joh 8:31-32)

 

The Danger of Hypocrisy and Lukewarm Faith

…I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth…

…Warning unto you, scribes and Pharisees, (preachers knowing they’re not right with God) hypocrites! for you tithe mint and anise and cummin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law, justice, and mercy, and faith: but these you ought to have done, and not to have left the other undone. You blind guides, that strain out the gnat, and swallow the camel! Warning unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full from extortion and excess. You blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the platter, that the outside thereof may become clean also. Warning unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are like unto whited sepulchers, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but inwardly ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity…

…Warning unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte (convert); and when he is become so, ye make him twofold more a son of hell than yourselves.

(Mat 23:15 Mat 23:23-28 Rev 3:15-16)

 

The Struggle is Real...Worldly Desires vs. Eternal Devotion

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vainglory (prestige and position) of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abides forever. (1 Jn 2:15-17)

The Path to Wisdom and understanding...living in the Fear of Jehovah

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; But the foolish despise wisdom and instruction…

…My son, if thou wilt receive my words, And lay up my commandments with thee; So as to incline thine ear unto wisdom, And apply thy heart to understanding; Yea, if thou cry after discernment, And lift up thy voice for understanding; If thou seek her as silver, And search for her as for hid treasures: Then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, And find the knowledge of God…

…For Jehovah giveth wisdom; Out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding: He lays up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to them that walk in integrity; That he may guard the paths of justice, And preserve the way of his saints. (Pro 1:7 Pro 2:1-5 Pro 2:6-8)

 

Seek wisdom and understanding more than gold and material things...

…But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraided not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubts is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord; a doubleminded man, unstable in all his ways…

…How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! Yea, to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver. The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: He that keeps his way preserves his soul…

…He that gets wisdom loveth his own soul: He that keeps understanding shall find good. A false witness shall not be unpunished; And he that utters lies shall perish. (Jas 1:5-8 Pro 16:16-17 Pro 19:8-9)

 

The Power of Truth and Righteousness in Discipleship

Jesus said…Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth…

…Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free…

…Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called sons of God. (Joh 17:17 Joh 8:31-32 Mat 5:6-9)

Do you have the spirit of the accuser or the Spirit of Jesus…

God would rather have Christians with the  fruits of the Spirit instead of fruit inspectors…

It is written…prove all things; hold fast that which is good; abstain from every form of evil. And the God of peace Himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who will also do it.

…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 ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: and every spirit that confesses not Jesus is not of God: and this is the spirit of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it cometh; and now it is in the world already. You are of God, my little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they as of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knows God heareth us; he who is not of God heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

…These are springs without water, and mists driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved. For, uttering great swelling words of vanity (emptiness), they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by lasciviousness (evil sensual lusts), those who are just escaping from them that live in error; promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he also brought into bondage. For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is become worse with them than the first. For it were better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered unto them. It has happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog turning to his own vomit again, and the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire.

(1Th 5:21-24 1Jn 4:1-6 2Pe 2:17-22)

 

Jesus’s word will be our judge on the last day…the Day of Judgement…

Jesus said…Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged: and with what measure you mete (measure out), it shall be measured unto you. And why behold you the mote (little sin) that is in your brother's eye, but consider not the beam (big sin) that is in your own eye? Or how wilt thou say to your brother, Let me cast out the mote out of your eye; and lo, the beam is in your own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of your own eye; and then shalt you see clearly to cast out the mote out of your brother's eye. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before the swine, lest haply they trample them under their feet, and turn and rend you…

…I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believes on me may not abide in the darkness. And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejects me, and receives not my sayings, hath One that judges him: the word that I spoke, the same shall judge him in the last day…

…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 (work apart from God).

(Mat 7:1-6 Joh 12:46-48 Mat 7:21-23)
