How to please God with singing…

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth...John 4:23-24.

 

What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also...1 Corinthians 14:15.

 

Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ...Ephesians 5:19-20.

 

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him...Colossians 3:16-17.

 

How can you please God…walk in spirit and truth and then worship Him with a song singing with understanding. Does your devotions of studying for knowledge include singing to God afterward or before? Singing is way to draw near to God for He is seeking those who worship Him! Jesus told the woman at the well any day or hour is a good hour to worship the Father, we no longer have to wait until the Sabbath day as long as we are keeping ourselves Holy or walking in the spirit and the truth. So sing a song to God and please Him!

 

Prayer

Father please cleanse us and grant us repentance so we can worship you in Spirit and the Truth, please meet our soul’s deepest needs and prosper us who worship You…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Did you know Jesus began a fast from food unto the cross and resurrection?

Did you know Jesus began a fast from food unto the cross and resurrection?

 

And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer: For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God...Luke 22:14-16.

 

Jesus when instituting the Lord’s Supper as we call it said He would not eat again until the Passover was fulfilled in the kingdom of God. Jesus was fasting when He was scourged, smitten for our offenses, and died on the cross.

 

Jesus died and was raised from the dead so you and I could choose right over wrong…could choose God over satan…good over evil. Jesus said He is the truth, the life, and the way no one can come to the Father except through Him…John 14:6. Jesus said you will know the truth and the truth will set you free…John 8:32.

 

Is this not good news…Jesus became the Passover lamb who gave His own life to take away our sins…He died and was raised from the dead to give us life and truth so we can follow Him in the way of the kingdom of God. All we have to do is practice the truth He reveals to us in doing what is good right and true. Jesus said He that believes and is baptized will be saved but he that chooses to not believe the truth (Jesus died and rose from the dead) will be damned…Mark 16:16.

 

Will you obey Jesus by being baptized? …yes or no?

 

Prayer

Father please reveal the truth to us so we can stay faithful by obeying what is good, right, and true and meet all our soul’s deepest needs so we can be glad and serve You through Your Only Son Jesus…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Will no religious people be forgiven or just the religious…

Will no religious people be forgiven or just the religious…

He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”...Luke 18:9-14.

 

In this parable…Jesus says the one who confessed his sin and that he was a sinner was justified or just-as-if -I’d never sinned. Yet the religious Pharisees gave God his resume of being religious and never confessed his sin. The tax collector knew he was a sinful man in need of mercy but the religious Pharisee thought he had no sin and was telling God how grateful he was that he was not a sinner. Oh may we realize where we stand with God as sinful men and women.

 

Jesus died on a cross to take away our sinful pasts and give us future with Him. Jesus said unless one is born of the water and the Spirit a person cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Jesus said unless one believes He died and was raised from the dead and is baptized will be saved. IN this parable we read the value of confession of sin. Have you beat your chest and asked God to forgive you a sinner…yes or no? Have you been baptized to obey Jesus…yes or no?

 

Prayer

Father please forgive us of our sins we are just sinners without you justifying us…please show us mercy and grant us repentance where we need to grow closer to you…please meet our soul;s deepest needs so we can be reconciled to You and Your only Son Jesus who died on the cross and was raised from the dead to cleanse us…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
