Heard of temptation…

Heard of ...temptation…


Jas 1:12-15 ASV Blessed is the man that endures temptation; for when he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to them that love him. 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and He Himself tempts no man: 14 but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then the lust, when it hath conceived, bears sin: and the sin, when it is full-grown, bringeth forth death…


1Co 10:12-14 ASV Wherefore let him that thinketh he stands take heed lest he fall. 13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it. 14 Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry…


1Co 10:20-22 ASV But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have communion with demons. 21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: ye cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons. 22 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than He…


1Jn 2:22-23 ASV Who is the liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, even he that denies the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denies the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that confesses the Son hath the Father also…


Rev 21:7-8 ASV He that overcomes shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8 But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part shall be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death…


2Th 1:7-9 ASV and to you that are afflicted rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power in flaming fire, 8 rendering vengeance to them that know not God, and to them that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus: 9 who shall suffer punishment, even eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might…


Father we renounce Satan and creation to serve You and Your Son Jesus of Nazareth…please show us mercy and grant us repentance by revealing the truth so we can be right with you…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Simplicity of Christ is wisdom unto salvation…

Joh 1:1-5 ASV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not…


Heb 6:1-3 ASV Wherefore leaving the doctrine of the first principles of Christ, let us press on unto perfection; not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2 of the teaching of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 And this will we do, if God permit…


2Co 5:17-20 ASV Wherefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new. 18 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 We are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beseech you on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God…


1Jn 1:6-10 ASV If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleans us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.


Jesus Christ from the town of Nazareth…died on the cross and was raised from the dead…so you could never do a wrong thing again and He will forgive you so you can start over and never choose a wrong or immoral thing again…Jesus never broke a single command of God and was punished as if He broke all Ten Commandments of God…which was the minimum requirements of a Jew from the tribe of Judah…


Have you been baptized into Christ? Yes or no. Will you be baptized into Christ? Yes or no. Jesus said…And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation…He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieves shall be condemned…


Father please confirm this truth to us in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Jesus taught… And he spoke a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint; 2 saying, there was in a city a judge, who feared not God, and regarded not man: 3 and there was a widow in that city; and she came oft unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. 4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5 yet because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, lest she wear me out by her continual coming. 6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge saith. 7 And shall not God avenge his elect, that cry to him day and night, and yet he is longsuffering over them? 8 I say unto you, that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? Luk 18:1-8 ASV


…Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3 For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them: 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour. Mat 25:1-13 ASV


Heaven is a place…Jesus is a person who will open the door to Heaven for you…Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All that came before Me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door; by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture. 10 The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. 11 I am the Good Shepherd: the Good Shepherd lays down his life for the sheep…


Jesus died and was raised so you would never have to choose an evil or immoral thing again…He has made a way of salvation and is the Author of Salvation…Jesus will reveal the truth to you and all you have to do is the right thing by God and your neighbors…Have you asked the Author of Salvation to write you a plan of redemption, reconciliation, and salvation? Have you been baptized? Yes or No…Jesus said… He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieves shall be condemned. Mar 16:16 ASV Will you be baptized and obey the Author of Salvation? Yes or no


Father help us to watch and pray You and Your Son’s will…please show mercy for the unforgiven and heal our soul’s deepest wounds…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
