A simple test to see if you despise/hate God or love/hold to God…

A simple test to see if you despise/hate God or love/hold to God…

 

Simple Test

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one (Jesus), and love the other (world); or else he will hold to one (Jesus), and despise the other (world). You cannot serve God and mammon (this world)...Matthew 6:24.

 

Who do you do it for? Love your neighbor as yourself…

  1. Do you despise the lust of the flesh…Do you hate the lust of the flesh…or do you gratify the lust of the flesh by holding to it or loving the flesh more than God?

  2. Do you despise the lust of the eyes…Do you hate the lust of the eyes…or do you satisfy the lusts of your eyes…Do you hold to the lust of the eyes more than God…thinking you are blessed with what you see or Do you love the lust of the eyes thinking you are blessed because you have what your eyes see?

  3. Do you despise yourself…Do you hate yourself…or do you put yourself second and your brothers third and your neighbors fourth? Or Do you put self-last and sacrifice to serve God? Do you love your neighbor or do you love yourself… Do you despise having to help your neighbor or do you rejoice in God is using you to be an avenue of grace towards your neighbor? Are you sharing what God has given you or do you charge for God’s will to be done?

 

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vainglory (the self-glory) of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abides forever...1 John 2:15-17…

…Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled...Matthew 5:6...

…Owe no man anything, save to love one another: for he that loveth his neighbor hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: love therefore is the fulfilment of the law...Romans 13:8-10…

…For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness...1 Timothy 6:10-11.

 

Prayer

Father please forgive and convert me from the love of the world…or holding on to the world…that I may learn to put You first and serve You and be blessed…please change my heart and mind and direction so that I may be fit for heaven my home…I truly have nothing but You…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Do not my words do good to him that walks uprightly...Micah 2:7?

Do not my words do good to him that walks uprightly...Micah 2:7?

 

Fearing God…are you a God-fearing soul…fearing God’s punishment?

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all they that do His commandments (The Ten Commandments): His praise (works from doing the Commandments)  endures forever...Psalms 111:10.


The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge (Knowing God exists and His Standard of conduct…morality); But the foolish despise wisdom (walking in the fear of God) and instruction (in knowledge)...Proverbs 1:7.


This is the end of the matter (conclusion from all the author has seen); all hath been heard (all his questions answered): Fear God, and keep His commandments; for this is the whole duty of man (mankind’s plan and purpose). For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil...Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

 

Do Justly…(treat God and people right according to The Ten Commandments…and to be kind even to your enemies)

(God) He hath showed you, O man, what is good; and what does Jehovah require of you, but to do justly, (to treat people right…to love your neighbor as yourself) and to love kindness (be kind even to your enemies), and to walk humbly with thy God (Do it with God)...Micah 6:8?

 

For there is no I in self…we were all made except the Creator…

For all these things hath My Hand made (God’s Hand), and so all these things came to be, saith Jehovah: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor (no selfishness) and of a contrite spirit (humble acknowledging… “I can not do it without You God” or rather we can do it together), and that trembles (fears God’s punishment)  at My Word...Isaiah 66:2.

 

 Walk Humbly with your God…Do His Commandments…

Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial (idol or fallen angels)? or what portion hath a believer (Christian with an unbeliever (non-Christian)? And what agreement hath a temple of God with idols (things made)? for we are a temple of the living God; even as God said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people…

…Wherefore Come you out from among them, and be you separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you, And will be to you a Father, And you shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty...2 Corinthians 6:14-18.

 

Do you want to be adopted by Jesus into the family of God? Or Have you already been adopted and need to hear…It does not matter what you done Son just come home to Me?

Jesus said…As it is written… And he said unto them, Go you 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 (ignores God’s existence and reconciliation with Him through Jesus death, burial, and resurrection) shall be condemned (punished with everlasting destruction)...Mark 16:15-16.

 

Will you be baptized in order to be saved…yes or no?

Have you been baptized and still want to reconcile and walk with God…yes or no?

Do you believe Jesus died and was raised from the dead…yes or no?

Will you take on you the teaching of the Truth by Jesus Christ...yes or no?

 

Prayer

Father…please meet our soul’s deepest needs for fearing You and keeping Your Commandments and supply all of our needs…we renounce anything created and want to reconcile with You…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Do not judge but teach better...

The child of God…said do not judge me but help me be better

And do not judge others, so that you yourself will not be judged in any way. Do not condemn others, so that you will not be condemned in any way. Forgive, and you shall be forgiven. Give, and it shall be given to you. Good measure, pressed down and shaken together and running over, shall they give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you mete out, it shall be measured again to you." Then He spoke a parable to them, saying, "Is a blind man able to lead a blind man? Will not both fall into the ditch?... (Luk 6:37-39)


There is only One Door into Heaven…

…For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ so that each one may receive according to the things done in his body—what he has practiced, whether good or evil… (2Co 5:10)


Have you ever met Jesus in judgment…

…But the cowardly, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death. (Rev 21:8 AFV)


Prayer

Father please meet our soul's deepest needs and search us to see our souls deepest needs for You, Your Son, and the Holy Spirit...we know we will never hunger and thirst because we believe in Jesus...in Jesus of Nazareth's name amen.
