The Blessed Life…

The Blessed Life…

Psalms 1:1-6 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.

…You ever try to tell some not to steal when they are stealing…it does nothing but give you a reproach to stand in the way of sinner who wants to sin…You take advice from unbelievers? Why take wicked counsel…if they cannot know how to be saved then they have not right to tell you how to be right with God…many psychiatrists today do not believe in God and say they are the truth…they cut off working parts and call themselves a good doctor! You ever been around a scornful person one who mocks God…do not join in their folly…


2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

…Who loves the truth more than their own opinions…this is one who delights in the Law of God…one who cherishes the truth…loves the truth…seeks the truth…and thinks about truth…God will cause this man to be blessed…as it is written…without faith it is impossible to please God for he that comes to God must believe that He exists and is a reward of those who diligently seek Him Heb 11:6


4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind drives away. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Many there be who go in the broad way…Jesus said the truth of His word will judge them in the end…Jesus died and was raised from the dead so any soul could repent and do right by God and fellow man…Jesus died and was raised so He could forgive you of all past evils…and He will reveal to you the truth of righteousness but you have to be faithful with the truth and do right not wrong…Jesus says anyone who rejects His work of forgiveness and reconciliation with God by not believing will be damned into eternal fire forever being tormented but never consumed…Do you want to do right and go to heaven? Yes or no?


Jesus said…And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3-4

You see we are but children in diapers before our Creator who made all that is…we have to learn the truth so we can learn to be moral and good like our Creator who is the Great I Am of All that Is…We ask Jesus as Jesus said… ask…seek…knock…blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness for they will be filled…do you want to know how to live your life right? Ask Jesus He will show you how…all you have to do is what is morally right when the truth is revealed to you by loving your neighbor as yourself…and God as Supreme…it is Human to err but Divine to forgive…Jesus said forgive or you will not be forgiven…and when you forgive someone are not for once acting like God? God…Jesus has never chosen a wrong or immoral thing…and offers forgiveness to those who have…He forgives so He expects us to forgive like Him. You ever notice if you tell the truth then your problems get fewer…but if you tell a lie then your problems get bigger?


Father…please forgive us and grant us a change from being immoral so we can learn the truth and do right by You and our fellow man…please grant us repentance and mercy…and help us to be wise unto salvation for ourselves and others…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Mankind rules not the devil…

Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.


Job 2:2 And the LORD said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Satan answered the LORD and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.”


1 John 3:8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.


James 4:7-10 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.


2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causes us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.


Philippians 4:19-20 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 20 Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen. For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us forever. 2 John 1:2


Matthew 16:18 …on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it…A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. John 13:34-35.


John 8:42-47 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. 46 Which of you convinces me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? 47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.


Father…empower us to not be enslaved by any other and remove anything hindering obedience to the truth…please grant us repentance and mercy…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Will your sacrifice be accepted…

Matthew 5:21-26…You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire. 23 So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift…


Psalms 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise…For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death. 2 Corinthians 7:10


…therefore, let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall. 13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:12-13


Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” 22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times. Matthew 18:21-22


Jesus once said when asked how to pray… Pray then like this: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. 10 Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread, 12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. 14 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, 15 but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matthew 6:9-15


…Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:31-32


Jesus once said…John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. John 8:31-32


Father…help us to be right with others so we can be right with You and our sacrifices be accepted…please remove anything that hinders us from obeying the truth…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
