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)

Exercise daily…walk with the Lord…

Exercise daily…walk with the Lord…

 

Whom or who do you walk with the darkness or the Light?

If we say that we have fellowship with Him (God) and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us…He that saith he is in the light and hates his brother, is in the darkness even until now. He that loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him. But he that hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and knows not whither he goes, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes…Love 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 (pride) 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…Who is the liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, even he that denies the Father and the Son. Whosoever denies the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that confesses the Son hath the Father also.

(1Jn 1:6-10 ASV 1Jn 2:9-11 ASV 1Jn 2:15-17 ASV 1Jn 2:22-23 ASV)

 

Do not be an Anti-Christ or follow an Anti-Christ…

My little children, let no man lead you astray: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous: he that does sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. To this end was the Son of God manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil…Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: and every spirit that confesses not Jesus is not of God: and this is the spirit of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it comes; and now it is in the world already. Ye 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…And this is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us: and if we know that he hears us whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.

(1Jn 3:7-8 ASV 1Jn 4:1-4 ASV 1Jn 5:14-15 ASV)

 

Pray with me…

Father please save us from the lust of the flesh…lust of the eyes…and the pride of life…please create and fulfil our soul’s deepest needs that we may prosper as our soul prospers and heal our sin scars…

in Jesus Christ of Nazareth’s name amen.

Have you obeyed The Only Son of God which became man and died for you so you could made cleansed and right with God our Creator? Yes or no?

Have you obeyed The Only Son of God which became man and died for you so you could made cleansed and right with God our Creator? Yes or no?


And Jesus cried and said, He that believes on Me (obeys), believes not on Me, but on Him that sent Me. And he that beholds Me beholds Him that sent Me. I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believes on me may not abide in the darkness. And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejects Me, and receives not my sayings, hath one that judges him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day...(Joh 12:44-48) If any man comes unto Me, and hates not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Whosoever doth not bear his own cross (burden of obeying Jesus for eternal life), and come after Me, cannot be my disciple...(Luk 14:26-27) Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that comes to Me shall not hunger, and he that believes on Me shall never thirst...(Joh 6:35)


Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed Him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free...(Joh 8:31-32) All things have been delivered unto Me of my Father: and no one knows the Son, save the Father; neither does any know the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son wills to reveal Him. Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke (The New Agreement between God and Creation called The New Testament of Christ) upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek (obedient) and lowly (humble) in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light...(Mat 11:27-30)



Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently: having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and abides. For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls: But the word of the Lord abides for ever. And this is the word of good tidings which was preached unto you...(1Pe 1:22-25) Whosoever goes onward and abides not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God: he that abides in the teaching (lives obedient to Jesus teachings), the same hath both the Father and the Son. If any one comes unto you, and brings not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and give him no greeting: for he that gives him greeting partakes in his evil works. (2Jn 1:9-11)


And when the day of Pentecost was now come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them tongues parting asunder, like as of fire; and it sat upon each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance...(Act 2:1-4) And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him...(Act 2:38-39) And we have the word of prophecy made more sure; where unto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts: knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation (not man's opinion nor from the mind of a man) For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit...(2Pe 1:19-21)


And afterward He was manifested unto the eleven themselves as they sat at meat; and he upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them that had seen him after he was risen...(from the dead after being crucified) And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieves (does not obey) shall be condemned. And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken unto them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen. (Mar 16:14-20)


Will you be baptized for the forgiveness or remission of your sins? Yes or no?


Have you been baptized to obey Jesus for salvation? Yes or no?



Pray with me...?


Father please meet our souls deepest needs so we can become Holy like You and Your only Human Fathered Son Jesus...please keep us and reveal the truth to us so we too can become right with You...In Jesus of Nazareth's name amen.
