Do you have love for another soul…

Do you have love for another soul…

Yes or no?

Do you have ears to hear…the truth from God…

 

Now there went with Him great multitudes (many people) and He (Jesus) turned, and said unto them…

…If any man comes unto Me, and hates not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple…(Luke 14:25-26)

(If any soul…does not hate every other soul which does not abide in Jesus…then Jesus will not adopt him as a disciple, by revealing a greater or more important truth for his soul to prosper and grow in Christ.)

Jesus said as it is written…Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal…

(How do you obtain treasure in Heaven?)... for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The lamp of the body (flesh) is the eye (the lust of the eyes needs to be Holy not of the world) if therefore Your eye be single (visioning the Holy treasure), your whole body shall be full of light (Jesus also said…He is the Light of the world…it will be full of Jesus vision for you and your life). But if your eye be evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. (evil consists of three things…the lust of the flesh…what the body craves…the lust of the eyes…coveting and envy wanting what God has given you…and the pride of life…I am better than other people) If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is the darkness! (each religion has some form of godliness to counterfeit the Holy…if those counterfeit blessing are not from the Holy One then you are spreading evil not God’s will)

…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. Ye cannot serve God and mammon (everything not God which most consider the love of money being the root of evil…because money can get most people the lust of the flesh…lust of the eyes…and allows people to assume they are better than the poor) (Mat 6:19-24 ASV)

Question to ask or check your heart…Do you despise having to give money to God when you give to the poor? Or Do you hold to giving to the poor because Jesus is the reason you have money?

 

Question to ask or check your heart…Do you hate to give money to the poor or do you love the opportunity to share what God has given you?

 

As it is written Jesus said…Whosoever does not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:27)

 

…So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounce not all that he has, he cannot be my disciple. (we essentially have nothing but what God has given us…we did not control the parents we were born into either rich or poor…we do not control the circumstances we have been thrown into…who can control his own health or determine his own parents?

…Salt therefore is good: but if even the salt has already lost its savor, wherewith shall it be seasoned? (salt is preservative…an influencer of taste…when you are thrown into troubled waters…do you influence the situation or do you preserve God’s will with the good news of Jesus and or prayer? Or do learn how to walk on the trouble seas like Peter and Jesus...salt which has not saving influence or taste?) It is fit neither for the land nor for the dunghill: men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. (Luk 14:33-35 ASV)

 

Are you the salt for Jesus…can you be His disciple?

Have you been baptized for Jesus…yes or no?

Will you be baptized for Jesus…yes or no?

Will you surrender all by renouncing everyone including your own life and live for Jesus?

 

Prayer

Father who is in Heaven…please save us from the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride in life and possessions or positions in life…and meet our deepest needs…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

 

A Pause for Prayer and Devotion to God…a Wellsaid Christian Devotional about the teachings of Jesus…

When you go to church remember...Enter to worship...leave to serve

How Jesus was required to Remember the Sabbath Day...

In the Ten Commandments...which was the minimum requirements Jesus (from the tribe of Judah not a priest from the tribe of Levi) to be sinless...The remember the Sabbath Day was a commandment which when obeyed left one ready to worship on the day God would receive worship from His people...The Jew when he remembered the Sabbath Day...would have kept the other 9 commandments so according to our English Roman Calendar would have been ready to worship on Saturday...instead of offering an animal sacrifice.


Here are the Ten commandments shortened for ease from Exodus chapter 20:


1. You will have no other gods before Me.

2. You will not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth

3. You will not take the name of the LORD your God in vain

4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

5. Honor your father and your mother

6. You will not kill.

7. You will not commit adultery.

8. You will not steal.

9. You will not bear false witness against your neighbor.

10. You will not covet


As a Jew if you had kept the other 9 commandments then you were in the worship assembly...not the sacrifice an animal line...so remember the Sabbath Day was a requirement so you would not have to offer a sinner's sacrifice...and would have been accepted in worship.


Jesus in talking to the Samaritan woman told her anyone could be accepted on any day If they were worshiping God in Spirit and Truth...As it is written...But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship Him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. (Joh 4:23-24)


After Jesus died and rose from the dead and the Apostles began the church on the Day of Pentecost...found recorded in the book of Acts chapter 2...this word from Jesus became in effect the replacement or the fulling of the remember the Sabbath Day so you could be accepted by God in worship.


Jesus as it is written in Mark 12:29-31 said...And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And you will love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, you will love your neighbor as yourself. There is none other commandment greater than these. (Mar 12:29-31)


As it is written...Jesus Christ said...If any man come to Me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after Me, cannot be my disciple. (Luk 14:26-27)



So in our terms...when go to the worship assembly we call church...remember enter to worship and leave to serve.


Pray with me...

Father please help us keep ourselves in the truth and walk in the Spirit so we can always call on You and worship You anytime...please meet our soul's deepest needs and heal our sounds caused by accidents and sinful behavior...in Jesus of Nazareth's name amen.

Quick Message of The Death Burial and Resurrection of Jesus the Christ of Nazareth:


You ever been baptized into Christ; do you believe that Jesus of Nazareth died on a cross and was raised three days later after the worse scourging a sinner ever was punished with? and that Jesus did so willingly so He could reconcile you to your Creator? Jesus Christ is the only Fathered of our Creator the Father of All, the Great I am of all that Is. Do you believe Jesus died and made a way for all your wrongs to be forgiven and a way for you to learn to never do evil again? Yes or No? Jesus of Nazareth, will never lie to you and promises in Matthew 5:6, Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness. or will you ask Jesus of Nazareth to confirm this truth to you? Yes or No?


Jesus of Nazareth said:


Joh 3:3-6 ASV Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (4) Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born? (5) Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (6) That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Mar 16:15-16 ASV And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. (16) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned.


It is Written in the New Agreement between God and mankind called the New Testament (Covenant) of Christ:


Act 2:38-39 ASV And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (39) For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him.

Col 2:11-13 ASV in whom ye were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ; (12) having been buried with him in baptism, wherein ye were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. (13) And you, being dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, you, I say, did he make alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses;

Rom 6:3-5 ASV Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? (4) We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. (5) For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection;

2Co 5:17-21 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. (21) Him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

Rom 10:8-11 ASV But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach: (9) because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved: (10) for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (11) For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame.


How to baptize a person in total immersion for the remission of sins and to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit:


“In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, by His Authority, I baptize you in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit for the remission of sins and to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit based on your confession that Jesus Christ is the only Fathered of our Creator, the Savior of mankind…” Then totally baptize them in water, watching the bubbles they not go up the nose if a creek or river or sea, then after plunging them raise them. And I usually try to say, walk in Spirit and Truth.


Way to allow the teachings of Jesus to be taught to confirm the words of Mahomed that Jesus the son of Miriam is a true prophet:


It is written: in the Holy book, Jesus, the son of (Mary) Miriam is a true prophet. One must reason there is no harm, a devout one must confirm the word of Mahammad by reading the teachings of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to see if both are true prophets.


They do many good works for the poor, You can do the same good works and teach in private. Blend in but do not deny your faith in the Almighty God of Gods Jesus the Christ of Nazareth! Amen.


And in a public setting to keep peace, One could raise a prayer, to God of Gods be the Glory and those agree say Amen.


Non-Institution Answer for Unity:

The whole matter is summed up on fellowship in Acts 15, when the Jewish Christians were disfellowshipping over traditions, and the entire congregation, elders, holy spirit, and apostles wrote a letter of the minimum requirements of fellowship or to be a gentile Christian...Act 15:22-31 KJV Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren: 23 And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia: 24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment: 25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth. 28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; 29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well. 30 So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle: 31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.

That's it: no idolatry (no foods offered to idols) or stay a faithful to Jesus Christ, eat nothing strangled (America we are kosher), no fornication (no sex outside of marriages or stay faithful to your spouse and vow). That's it all we got to do for unity! After people become Christian...


Simple summary of faithful Christian:

Stay a Christian, Stay married, Stay Faithful to Jesus and don't eat anything killed bad...

The minimum requirements of being a faithful sanctified gentile Christian or Saint.

I am gonna put it in southern slaang...be faiful to Jesus and Ur Wife, don cha eat or drink nutting bad! Then heaven be yours.
