Divine Call for Justice, Integrity, and Wisdom

Thus says the LORD, "Execute judgment and righteousness, and deliver him who is robbed out of the oppressor's hand. And do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, or the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place… These six things the LORD hates; yea, seven are an abomination unto Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that plots wicked imaginations, feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, and he who sows discord among brethren… Behold, I am sending you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore, be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. (Jer 22:3… Pro 6:16-19… Mat 10:16)


Living Righteously in a Challenging World: A Call to Shine as Lights

For it is God Who works in you both to will and to do according to His good pleasure. Do all things without complaints and disputes; So that you may be blameless and without offense, innocent children of God in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world… For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil works. Do you desire not to be afraid of the authority? Then practice good, and you will have praise from it; For he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you are practicing evil, have fear! For he does not wear the sword in vain because he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to the one who is practicing evil… Do not render to anyone evil for evil, but be prepared to do what is right in the sight of all men. If possible, as much as is your part, be at peace with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves; rather, leave this to God's wrath; for it is written, " 'Vengeance is Mine! I will recompense,' says the Lord." Therefore, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for in doing this you will be heaping coals of fire on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good… (Php 2:13-15… Rom 13:3-4… Rom 12:17-21)


The Role of Peacemakers in Upholding Divine Principles

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. (Mat 5:9)

  1. Peace is something you do not say…words of Truth can create peace but must be said...in Truth and Love…violence creates more violence…but the only way to end violence when words will not be received for peace is to meet a violence with violence.

  2. Just treatment of the enemies of peace…Jesus said to bless your enemies not curse them…not to join the enemies of peace but to feed and water your enemies by doing so you will reap coals of fire on their head.

  3. The Best a soul can do is what is right by our Creator when he learns the Truth.

  4. A peacemaker desires…to harm no soul including their own…to keep the innocent innocent…the harmless harmless…and to shed no innocent blood.

  5. Peacemaking stops the evil doer and keeps the innocent harmless and the harmless innocent. Peacemakers must exercise self-control and not act not out of self-will but out of love knowing love does not work ill-will towards its neighbor or enemies but seeks peace and what is best for all innocent souls.

God has got you…encouraging message as it is written to remain faithful…

God has got you…encouraging message as it is written to remain faithful…


Are you condemned or have you not been baptized and are faithful…

There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death…But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through His Spirit that dwells in you…For in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopes for that which he sees? But if we hope for that which we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. And in like manner the Spirit also helps our infirmity (sicknesses): for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered (cannot be heard); and He that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. (Rom 8:1-2 Rom 8:11 Rom 8:24-27)


To Jesus Christ be the victory…

And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren: and whom He foreordained…them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified…Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies; who is he that condemns? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us…Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Rom 8:28-30 Rom 8:33-34 Rom 8:37-39)


God knows what you need before you ask Him…

For the word of God (Jesus is the Word) is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart… And when you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily (Truly) I say unto you, They have received their reward. But you, when you pray, enter into thine inner chamber, and having shut your door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret shall recompense you. And in praying use not vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not therefore like unto them: for your Father knows (Omniscience) what things you have need of, before you ask him… Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through him, seeing he ever lives to make intercession for them. (Heb 4:12 Mat 6:5-8 Heb 7:25)


Prayer

Father please search us and help us remain faithful and supply our needs we know you can create whatever we need for our life here on earth as we learn to humbles ourselves and obey Your written word…please meet our souls deepest needs so we may prosper and be in health as our soul prospers…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Give your heart and mind to God first…

Give your heart and mind to God first…

 

Hear Israel’s King David…Psalm 40…

 

…I waited patiently for Jehovah; And He inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay; And He set my feet upon a rock (solid ground not quicksand), and established (taught David how to behave and directed his step) my goings. And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: Many shall see it, and fear, And shall trust in Jehovah… (sounds like David knew what P.U.S.H. meant…Pray Until Something Happens)

…Blessed is the man that makes Jehovah his trust, And respects not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, And Your Thoughts which are to us-ward; They cannot be set in order unto you (who is going to tell Jehovah what to think or when to think it?); If I would declare and speak of them, They are more than can be numbered…

…Sacrifice and offering you have no delight in (Does God have pleasure in someone who has to offer a sin sacrifice…or Does He have pleasure in repentance or obedience which requires no sacrifice…other than the heart, mind, soul, and spirit to surrendered or sacrificed in  obedience to His Word); Mine ears have you opened: Burnt-offering and sin-offering have You not required. Then said I, Lo, I am come; In the roll of the book it is written of me: I delight to do Your will, O my God; Yea, Your law is within my heart. (Psa 40:1-8)

 

 

Are you the judge or being judged…a chance to give and be blessed or a chance to hold to “your” money? When you see a man humble himself and ask for money…is it a chance to be a blessing or is he a liar and a cheat…a sinner being punished?

And judge not, and you shall not be judged: and condemn not, and you shall not be condemned: release, and you shall be released: give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall they give into your bosom. For with what measure you mete it shall be measured to you again. (Luk 6:37-38) (Do you give instruction out of the pit or laugh and say better learn your lesson…do you wash his feet or move your own feet away?)

 

 

 

Do you want to please God by giving to His children and His works?

 

Give as God has prospered you…or to be prospered…

…Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I gave order to the churches of Galatia, so also do you. Upon the first day of the week let each one of you lay by him in store, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come… (Sunday is the first day of the week and there is a Sunday each week…So we have a command from an Apostle with the Authority of the Holy Spirit and same as God…to meet each first day or Sunday and take a collection given to more than one congregation)…But this I say, He that sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that sows bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Let each man do according as he hath purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity (because he “has” to…do you sigh when asked to give or do you smile): for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace (unearned…undeserved favors) abound unto you; that you, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work…No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon…(do you hold to “your” money or do you despise giving to needy Christians? Do you love to give to God children or do you hate to give money to a good work?) (1Co 16:1-2…2Co 9:6-8…Mat 6:24)

 

Exhortation to be faithful…in loving your neighbor as yourself…the perfect law of liberty

He that hath pity upon the poor lends unto Jehovah, And his good deed will He pay him again. Chasten your son, seeing there is hope; And set not your heart on his destruction…But he that looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and so continues, being not a hearer that forgets but a doer that works, this man shall be blessed in his doing…What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not also with Him freely give us all things? Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies… (Pro 19:17-18 Jas 1:25 Rom 8:31-33)

 

Prayer

Father please open our eyes and ears and help us to prosper in all thing concerning You and Your only Son Jesus the Christ…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
