Will your sacrifice be accepted…

Matthew 5:21-26…You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire. 23 So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift…


Psalms 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise…For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death. 2 Corinthians 7:10


…therefore, let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall. 13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:12-13


Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” 22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times. Matthew 18:21-22


Jesus once said when asked how to pray… Pray then like this: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. 10 Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread, 12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. 14 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, 15 but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matthew 6:9-15


…Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:31-32


Jesus once said…John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. John 8:31-32


Father…help us to be right with others so we can be right with You and our sacrifices be accepted…please remove anything that hinders us from obeying the truth…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

You ever consider the morals or source of other religions…

Jesus said…Matthew 6:22-24 The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if your 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! 24 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. You cannot serve God and mammon.


You ever consider the morals of other religions whom do not have God? Their source is Satan…or the anti-Christ…they do not confess Jesus came in the flesh and died on the cross and was raised on the third day…they have spiritual gifts but they are not Holy…they have things which help them be moral…but Jesus said how great is their darkness…they appear as righteous but do not know the Living God…and teaching you to follow them…supernatural does not mean Holy. Ordinary things do not have supernatural powers…remember it is a Who not a what!


1 John 4:1-6 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know you the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesses not Jesus is not of God: and this is the spirit of the antichrist, whereof you have heard that it comes; and now it is in the world already. 4 You are of God, my little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. 5 They are of the world: therefore speak they as of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We are of God: he that knows God heareth us; he who is not of God heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.


The unholy…imitates the Holy…the unrighteous appear as if they are righteous…no lie is of the truth…no Christian lies…if they lie then they are not saved…


2 Peter 2:19-22 They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved. 20 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. 21 For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. 22 What the true proverb says has happened to them: The dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire…


2 John 1:9-11 Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, 11 for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works.


Father we renounce and forsake all unholy sources and gifts…we ask for mercy and truth…to repent and acknowledge the truth of our sins…please meet our deepest needs we are but children in diapers before You…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Obedience is learned through suffering...

John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten or Fathered Son, that whosoever believes on Him(Jesus) should not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God sent not The Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through Him(Jesus Christ)…though He was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which He suffered; 9 and having been made perfect, He became unto all them that obey Him(Jesus) the Author of eternal salvation Heb 5:8-9…


Hebrews 7:25-26 Wherefore also He is able to save to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through Him, seeing He ever lives to make intercession for them. 26 For such a high priest became us, Holy, guileless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens…


Jesus Christ died and was raised from the dead so you could choose good over evil…right over wrong…Jesus already solved every problem you have morally so you can live right with your fellow man and your Creator…Jesus died to forgive you of all past wrongs…but you have to forsake all wrongdoing…Jesus will teach you the Truth but you have to do right by the truth…the best a man can do is what is right when he learns the truth…Jesus was punished as if He broke all Ten Commandments so you would not have to be punished just forgiven…then will teach you how to do right by God…Jesus is the Author of Salvation to all those who obey Him…Will you do what is best for your soul have a little talk with Jesus…He is the sinners best friend…


Hebrews 2:9-11 But we behold Him who hath been made a little lower than the angels, even Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God He should taste of death for every man. 10 For it became Him(Jesus), for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make The Author of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11 For both He that sanctifies and they that are sanctified are all of one: for which purpose He is not ashamed to call them brethren…


Matthew 9:12-13 But when He heard it, He said, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick. 13 But go you and learn what this means, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice: for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners… and said, Verily I say unto you, Except you turn, and become as little children, you shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3-4


John 6:35 Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst. But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. 33 But seek you first His kingdom, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Matthew 6:30-34


Father, Please meet our soul’s deepest needs for Jesus and You…please forgive the unforgiven…we renounce all evil and any form of creation asking to start a new…that we may learn to be right with You and faithful to Jesus today…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
