First things first...Do you major in the majors of God...

Do you major in the major things of God…? Try…A…Pause for Prayer and Devotional a Wellsaid Christian Devotional about the teachings of Jesus…

 

First things first…have you done the most important…obedience to God’s word…

Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, (lip service) shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied (told the truth of your word) in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity (work apart from God)...Matthew 7:21-23.

 

Building a congregation will not get you into heaven…doing many wonderful works like building church buildings will not get you into Heaven…preaching a sermon will not get you into Heaven… getting rid of devils will not get you into Heaven…UNLESS it is the will of the Father…Unless you are “In Christ” working with Him and allowing Him to work through you…Have you done the first things first…listen to what Jesus told a Jew named Nicodemus… Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again...John 3:5-7.

 

Have you been born of the water and the Spirit like Jesus told this man…yes or no?

Jesus said…He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believes not shall be damned...Mark 16:16. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that does evil hate the light (does not want to do it Jesus’ way but the way they think is better) neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest (made known either good or evil), that they are wrought (sanctified…established or nullified) in God...John 3:19-21.

 

People do not want to admit or confess they have been wrong…so do not come to Jesus…

Jesus said people hate the light because it means they must admit they do not understand good or evil but will have to accept Jesus’ judgement of their deeds…as if they have never really obeyed or done God’s will…but their own will and called it God’s will. Have they done what they thought God wanted or perhaps have done that which they thought was evil or done their own moral compass. They will have to admit their ways lead to hopeless end…are not God’s ways…their morals are not God’s morals. In other words…every “good” or bad thing I have ever done…when I came to God, I surrendered all of it to Jesus will. Many of my deeds were reprovable and some I had to do no more…I had to confess I was wrong and learn to do better or God’s way.

 

Have you been baptized into Christ…yes or no?

If not, then how you know there is no difference than before and after baptism…either way at least you have done what Jesus said about being born of the water and the Spirit. Many do not believe you have to be born of the water and the Spirit in baptism…many will be lost. I felt peace with God and creation…it felt good knowing I was at peace with the Creator for once in my life…hope you to will know peace with God one day.

 

Prayer

Father please continue to convert me and reprove my works, so that I am In You and You in me…please I have been baptized. Please be in me…on me…and work through me… that we may have a relationship…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Do people have the Spirit of Jesus or of the Accuser…?

Do people have the Spirit of Jesus or of the Accuser…?

 

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them...Matthew 7:15-20.

 

If all they do is accuse you of not being good enough…if all they remind you of is your unworthiness….if all they do is accuse you of not being Christian…then are they Christians themselves…yes or no? The accuser is always accusing you of having a speck in your eye…and offer no way to remove it!

 

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholds thou the mote (speck of dust) that is in thy brother's eye, but considers not the beam (log) that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote (speck of imperfection) out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam (large imperfection) is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam (large imperfection) out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote (speck) out of thy brother's eye. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you...Matthew 7:2-6.

 

So even if you are a Christian…stop being a spectator beholding the speck in another’s eyes instead offer encouragement on how to change and be better. It is easy to point out flaws but which is better and not bitter…pointing out flaws or offering an encouragement of how to do better. I mean if a brother blasts you for your behavior saying repent…but offers no prescription on how to do or be better then what has he done but be an accuser. So if you tear down a sister or brother do not forget to build up on how to overcome. If you do not personally know how to overcome…then it would be of none concern of you. Jesus said get it out of your eye then you can help others get the speck out their eye.

 

Prayer

Father please give me the fix…the prescription remedy and cure for my soul’s deepest needs of freedom from this world…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Three reminders from Jesus teaching…

Three reminders from Jesus teaching…

 

Worry not child of God…

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 cloth 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 (unbelievers) seek; for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. But seek you 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 (future) will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof...Matthew 6:30-34.


If you change your now then you will change your future…your destiny is decided by your life chooses not a mystical force. Jesus talking to the Jewish people of His day told them God would provide. There is no need to worry because God will not fail you unless you are in rebellion to His commandments…then He lets you fall on your face until you return to Him…on your knees. Do you know the golden rule…you shall love your neighbor as yourself? It is called the golden rule in my opinion because when you practice no ill will towards anyone then you develop a pure heart that will see God and His intentions.

 

Judge not child of God…your judgment will be on your head too…

Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete (use), it shall be measured unto you. And why behold you the mote that is in your brother's eye (consider others sins), but consider not the beam (the bigger sin) that is in your own eye? (the things you could improve on) Or how wilt you say to your brother, Let me cast out the mote (sin) out of your eye; and lo (behold…look), the beam (sin) is in your own eye? You hypocrite (actor), cast out first the beam out of your own eye; and then will 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...Matthew 7:1-6.


Be careful in weighing other people for their behavior…because if you send someone to hell for cussing then slip up and cuss guess where you deserve to go? Instead purify yourself and pray for those that are in error in your opinion to be better than they were. If you correct a fool then you will get a fool’s wrath…or correction…humble opinion.

 

Get right with God and your worry will be lessened…unless your judgmental…then be praying for mercy because you deserve the same.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that askes receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone; or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him? All things therefore whatsoever you would that men should do unto you, even so do you also unto them: for this is the law and the prophets. Enter you in by the narrow gate (small): for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. For narrow (small) is the gate, and straitened the way(difficult…it is difficult to practice the truth in a world full of liars), that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it...Matthew 7:7-14.


Are you one which truly treats others as yourself…yes or no? Are forgiving and kind…yes or no? Are you one which judges others as not being good like you…yes or no? Do you condemn others because of their choices or have you considered their options to choose Jesus and how you can help them find the Help every soul needs…yes or no?

 

Prayer

Father, please meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal our sin so we may prosper and be in health as our soul prospers…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
