When God ordains He sustains…

When God ordains He sustains…

Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus...Philippians 2:4-5. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you...James 4:7. …The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these...Mark 12:29-31.

 

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit Himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because He maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified...Romans 8:26-30. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit...Ephesians 5:18. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God...Romans 12:2.

 

Those of us who have been baptized into Christ have the Holy Spirit who prays for us with groanings which cannot be heard. Praying the will of God in our lives. Praying we have the mind of Christ and we serve others and stay faithful. We are to look on the things of others and be filled with the Spirit. May God help us discern His will from the world so we can be faithful.

 

Prayer

Father please meet our deepest needs and heal us from our infirmities in the faith and physically…please fill us with the Holy Spirit in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

The Soul who kneels before Jesus can face anyone...

Learning from the first letter to the Thessalonians…

And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: To the end He may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints...1 Thessalonians 3:12-13.


For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that you should abstain from fornication (sex outside of marriage): That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honor; Not in the lust of concupiscence (bad things), even as the Gentiles which know not God: That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. He therefore that despises, despises not man, but God, who hath also given unto us His Holy Spirit. But as touching brotherly love you need not that I write unto you: for you yourselves are taught of God to love one another. And indeed you do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech (beg) you, brethren, that you increase more and more; And that you study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; That you may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that you may have lack of nothing....1 Thessalonians 4:3-12.


Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly (law unto themselves), comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings (preaching forth of truth). Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ...1 Thessalonians 5:14-23.

 

These Christians had turned from superstitious idols to the living God…they were given instruction on how to sanctify themselves and exhorted and encouraged to love like Jesus…Go and do likewise…

 

Prayer

Father please preserve our body, soul, and spirit blameless unto the coming of Jesus in Judgement…and meet our deepest needs of our soul, body, and spirit…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Who is the source of the light which is in you…

Who is the source of the light which is in you…

for where thy treasure is, there will your heart be also. The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is the darkness! 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...Matthew 6:21-24


What do you seek…the kingdom of heaven…or comfort, pleasure, easy street…etc. Are you fully converted and seeking only the kingdom of God? Are listening to Buddha…Mohamad…other religions…or is Jesus your only source?

 

If Jesus is not your source of truth, then you are full of darkness masquerading as light…

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stands not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own (mind and will): for he is a liar, and the father thereof. (the first liar)..John 8:44.

 

There is a false prophet coming to deceive you into thinking you abide in the truth but his fruits are not Holy…

even he, whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness...2 Thessalonians 2:9-12

 

We have to love the truth…seek the truth…and the truth will set us free from the darkness of the liars…and lies

 

Prayer

Father please reveal the truth to us so we can walk in the light of Your Son…doing what is right with man and You…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
