Blessed are the poor in spirit

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven...Matthew 5:3.

 

Blessed are you when you say I cannot do it without you God for yours is the kingdom of Heaven…Jesus is said to be humble and obedient to the Father’s will. He is our example to follow. He humbled Himself as a Human and died on the cross and was raised from the dead in order that we may choose no evil or wrong deed. Jesus died to free us and our decisions from this evil world. Do you depend on God…everyday all day long or just sometimes? Are we not all just beggars begging God for salvation and grace to sustain us one day at a time?

 

Jesus said…Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven...Matthew 18:3-4. The poor in spirit says daddy I cannot unless we do it together…or daddy can I…daddy will you…daddy look what they done to me. How can an adult depend on God like a child…Jesus said unless we are converted like a child we cannot enter the kingdom of God…we have to learn dependence on God as a child does his parents. Perhaps we should have we (me and God) attitude instead of a me can do it attitude. A what are Jesus and I going to do today attitude.

 

It is written God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble…do you want God’s favor in your life then we must learn to be humble and depend on God like a child does his parents and when we are fully converted like a child depending on God for everything in our lives…then the kingdom of heaven is ours to share with its King Jesus.

 

Can you live your life without Jesus…yes or no? Jesus said you will hold on to Him and despise the world or you will love Him and hate the world. Which do you do…hold on to Jesus and despise having to live in the world with its lusts that tempts us or do you love (obey) God and hate the world for having temptations?

 

Prayer

Father please help us fully be converted like a child and may we continue to depend on You for our very existence please meet our soul’s deepest needs so we may prosper and be in health as our soul prospers…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

But wisdom is justified of all her children...Luke 7:35.

But wisdom is justified of all her children...Luke 7:35.


And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him...Luke 2:40. O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been His counsellor? Or who hath first given to Him, and it shall be recompensed unto Him again? For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen...Romans 11:33-36.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction...Proverbs 1:7. So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou cry after knowledge, and lift up thy voice for understanding; If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt you understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God...Proverbs 2:2-5. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding...Proverbs 9:9-10. There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD...Proverbs 21:30.


If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraids not; and it shall be given him...James 1:5.


Wisdom and understanding only come from the Lord who creates both and gives liberally to those who are faithful with them. How does a person become wise without the knowledge that God exists? How can a person understand the Holy with knowing there is a God who gives and understands the man or woman He has made and is calling on Him?


Prayer

Please give us sound wisdom and understanding so we may learn the knowledge needed to be saved and faithful in order to live with You forever…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

When God ordains He sustains…

When God ordains He sustains…

Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus...Philippians 2:4-5. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you...James 4:7. …The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these...Mark 12:29-31.

 

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit Himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because He maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified...Romans 8:26-30. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit...Ephesians 5:18. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God...Romans 12:2.

 

Those of us who have been baptized into Christ have the Holy Spirit who prays for us with groanings which cannot be heard. Praying the will of God in our lives. Praying we have the mind of Christ and we serve others and stay faithful. We are to look on the things of others and be filled with the Spirit. May God help us discern His will from the world so we can be faithful.

 

Prayer

Father please meet our deepest needs and heal us from our infirmities in the faith and physically…please fill us with the Holy Spirit in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
