Did you create yourself…can you?

Did you create yourself…

You will not covet…

You will not covet another’s…for the love of money is the root of all evil…and all that the world has to offer is the lust of the body (flesh), the lust of the eyes (the I want what I see)…and the pride of life (the self-made man).

As it is written…What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Howbeit, I had not known sin, except through the law: for I had not known coveting, except the law had said, You shalt not covet: (Rom 7:7)…

As it is written…Love (covet…desire…wanting) not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love 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 (self-made or without God) of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will of God abides forever… (1Jn 2:15-17)

The Love of money is the root of all kinds of evil…

As it is written…For the love (coveting or the obtaining without God’s permission) 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 you, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness (right doing by God and man), godliness (developing the character pleasing to God), faith (in God and His words which do us no harm), love (love of God first and creation second), patience (enduring the needs of others for God’s will to be done), meekness (obedience to God and His word) (1Ti 6:10-11)

…for the love of money is the root of all evil. It is like Eve…did she see the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil…yes or no? Did she see it could be eaten…yes or no? Would it supply the knowledge God knew without God’s permission…yes or no?

…Money can buy you all the lust of the flesh you desire…the love of money can supply the lust of your eyes…the love of money can supply the I am better than the way God made me or I am self-made or better than the poor or the pride of life…

Coveting is the opposite of giving and usually involves some form of violence either through circumstance outside influence or directly with acts of personal violence…

…Coveting is making yourself into your own version of self (godliness being like God without going to God for the blessing) …it is I want what God gave you not what He gave me.

If you desire greater than you have…then use Jesus’ prescription for receiving a greater blessing…

Jesus said as it is written…Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone; or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him? All things therefore whatsoever you would that men should do unto you, even so do you also unto them: for this is the law and the prophets. Enter you in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. For narrow is the gate, and straitened (difficult) the way, that leads unto life, and few are they that find it. (Mat 7:7-14)

Prayer

Who told the first lie...

Satan, tells the first lie recorded: when he deceives and tempts man and woman in the garden of Eden, on earth. Do you like to hear a lie? I know I don’t because you can never trust them. Satan told the first lie, 1/3 of the angels decided to participate in the lie by following satan. They were cast out of Heaven being punished for participating in the lie. When was the last time you had to choose sides over a lie you heard for the first time? Satan told the first lie, and angels rebelled with him, instead of abiding in the truth. God Almighty, cast them all out of Heaven.

Jesus then being the Author of salvation (Heb 5:9), offered up a plan to reconcile the family unit, God the Father of Mercies, said Let us make man in our image. In the beginning, God had already planned for the reconciliation of God and Creation through the Mediator of a New Agreement called the New Testament of Jesus Christ. God, who calls Himself: Jesus of Nazareth (Acts 22:7-8). Jesus being the Author of Salvation, became a man child and was born of a virgin, named Mary. Our Creator supplied the man part of the equation, through a miracle of the Holy Spirit. Mary, the virgin supplied then the rest of the DNA according to the Law of Child bearing, or the human egg. For in the beginning, He made them male and female. Jesus was born under the Law of the knowledge of good and evil taught to us by Jewish nation Israel, the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jesus was born a Jew and never violated the Old Testament Laws and Ordinances. Jesus never violated the intentions of the Law nor the Letter of the Law, but was the perfection of God in Human Form. The very words and intentions of God, made known and walking around in the flesh. Jesus remained perfect and sinless and was a Jew, under the Jewish Law.

The Old Testament, or old agreement between God and mankind, made one Holy if obeyed perfectly. Jesus, being the only Fathered of our Creator, was made perfect and did not see corruption, and remained sinless. Jesus was the only flesh, who met the Holy Standard of God’s Perfection. Jesus, being the Author of Salvation remain sinless and offered to lay down His life, as a substitute for our punishment as a sinner, and being scourged and nailed to a cross called a tree, died as a ransom for all who have done a wrong thing or sinned, as the Bible calls it. He was resurrected three days later, then later ascended into Heaven where He reigns.

Jesus died to make a way, to never choose to do a wrong thing, or do evil. Jesus makes a way for all the bad things we done to be forgiven and reconciled to our Creator. Jesus died and was raised from the dead three days later, to prove He can offer you eternal life and peace with God. Do you want to go to the good place when you die? It is called Heaven and if you never decide to go to heaven, then how will you make it? Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people, you do not accidently end up in Heaven.

Jesus of Nazareth said, Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Jesus said: satan is the father of lies, therefore he told the first lie. Satan does not abide in truth but relies on his own conclusions, deductions, and imagination. He believes his own lies and has power to deceive others. Jesus, in contrast, Is the Truth and will never lie to you. Jesus said, Joh 8:31-32, Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, if ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; (32) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Do you want to be free from the lies told to you about eternal life after death? Do you want to go to heaven and be saved from evil and torment? Jesus of Nazareth, died on a cross called a tree and was buried dead, and then resurrected on the third day, to prove He has power over life and death and satan. Jesus of Nazareth is the God of gods, and the King of kings, and the Lord of lords. Jesus died for you to show there is nothing a Holy God would not do to reconcile you to Himself, if you abide in the Truth. Wouldn’t life be great if we never heard a lie? Jesus only expects you to walk in truth and spirit, Jesus will never ask you to do a wrong thing, and it is written in Joh 6:35: And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. If you turn from doing wrong things and turn to Jesus, then He will show you how to be right with your neighbors and with your Creator. Have you ever asked the author of Salvation to write you a plan of redemption, reconciliation, and salvation? Yes or No? Do you know you have a plan and purpose?

Do you believe in Jesus of Nazareth? Yes or No.

Jesus of Nazareth will never ask you to do a wrong thing and made a way so you can practice the truth and be right with God and your fellow man. Jesus says, whoever hungers and thirst after being right, will be filled. If you want to know how to live your life, right then Jesus of Nazareth will lead you in the truth and the truth will set you free from the ignorance and lies found in the world. Will you read the New Testament of Jesus Christ? Jesus said, as it is written in Mat 11:28-30, Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (29) Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. (30) For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Do you want a light and easy yoke and rest for your soul? Will you agree to learn about Jesus and take His yoke? So, you can find rest for your soul? Yes or No.

Jesus of Nazareth said, He that believes and is baptized will be saved but he that does not believe (he died so we do not have to choose evil or do a wrong thing), will be damned. Mark 16:16

Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Will you be baptized into Christ? Yes or No?

Do you still believe in your baptism? Yes or no.
