We are all just children in diapers before God...

We are all just children in diapers before God…

In that hour came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And He called to Him a little child, and set him in the midst of them, and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven…Matthew 18:1-4.

 

Which one of us can look at God and say why have you made me this way…we all must be like the child and say teach me better…I am but in diapers before You the Almighty please reveal the truth to me so I can learn to be like You…Daddy…Abba.

 

If you adopt (receive) a Child for Jesus then you receive Jesus…

And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receives Me: but whoso shall cause one of these little ones that believe on Me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depth of the sea...(to die rather than to tempt a believer) Matthew 18:5-6. Wherefore let him that thinketh he stands take heed lest he fall. There hath no temptation taken you but such as man (any in mankind) can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it. Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry...1 Corinthians 10:12-14.

 

Will you receive your own kids in your household in Jesus name by teaching them the truth about Jesus being the only way of salvation…yes or no?

You cannot be the tempter teaching children (believers) to sin or make them fall and please God…it betrays innocent and causes you to shed “innocent blood”. Any believer which falls…it causes Jesus to bleed more for them because they fell…or perhaps they never return from the false teaching or perhaps they will learn the truth and be saved. Whosoever goes onward and abides (lives it out) not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God: he that abides (lives) in the teaching, the same hath both the Father and the Son...2 John 1:9.

 

Having Jesus means you will have the necessities of life…

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...John 6:35. 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 ye of little faith? Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? For after all these things do the Gentiles (unbelievers) seek; for your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first His kingdom, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Be not therefore anxious (worried) for the morrow (future): for the morrow (future day) will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof...Matthew 6:30-34.

 

If you change your now then you change your future…get the first things right and the big things you worry with will work out…obey Jesus in the little things called the truth and He will handle the big things. Do you want to go to heaven and have Jesus as the Good Shepherd looking after your soul…yes or no?

 

Jesus can create you whatever you may need…

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Same was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him; and without Him was not anything made that hath been made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended (comprehended) it not...John 1:1-5. All things have been delivered unto Me of my Father: and no one knows the Son, save the Father; neither doth 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 (Teaching of the truth which sets you free from evil) 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 (truth) is easy, and my burden is light...Matthew 11:27-30. For it became Him, 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…Hebrews 2:10.

 

Jesus suffered the scourging, the death of the cross and was raised from the dead in order to be The Author of Salvation. Have you asked the Good Shepherd of souls to Author you a plan of redemption, reconciliation with God and a plan of salvation…yes or no?

 

Prayer

Our Father who is in Heaven…please meet our needs we know You know what we need more than the things we worry about…please continue to raise us in Christ just like children in diapers…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

You must forsake evil or repent to live in the eternal heaven…

You must forsake evil or repent to live in the eternal heaven…

 

For godly grief (sorrow) produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death...2 Corinthians 7:10.

Repentance starts in the mind…as in you hear of knowledge that what you have done is wrong or evil. Then this knowledge causes you to consider wrong and right in your heart…then you decided if you change your behavior to fit the knowledge revealed unto you…it involves a change of mind…hearing new knowledge or facts…which results in a change of heart…the desire to be more moral like God…then a change in direction or living according to the decision made to more like God or to be more moral. Some people are sorry they got caught stealing because they will suffer the consequences…others are sorry they stole and did not mean to do wrong. Some change and rejoice because the new knowledge…the new morals…the new direction will lead to salvation in eternal Heaven…others are sorry it does not meet social standards.

 

What does repentance mean…

When a person repents of a telling a lie…it means you will never lie again. When a person repents of stealing it means they will never steal again. When a person repents of murdering it means they will never murder again. When a person repents of coveting it means they will not want other people’s blessings. When a person repents of adultery…means they will never have sex outside of marriage again.


God requires repentance according to His moral standard of the Ten Commandments…which can be summed up in terms of treating our neighbor as ourself…you do not like your money to be stolen so do not steal…you do not like to be lied to so do not lie…you do not like to be killed…so do not murder…you do not want people eyeing your blessings…so do not covet another’s blessings…the ten commandments was the minimum standard of the Jew…and thus Jesus being from the tribe of Judah to be called sinless…if One soul could keep them without fault and Jesus the Christ of Nazareth did never break one of these Ten Commandments…and was and is sinless.

 

The Ten Commandments…

1.      Thou shalt have no other gods before Me Exo 20:3

2.      Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image Exo 20:4-6  

3.      Thou shalt not take the name of God in vain Exo 20:7  

4.      Honor thy father and thy mother Exo 20:12  

5.      Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Exo 20:8…John 4:20-26…1 Cor 16:1-2…the first day now.

6.      Thou shalt not kill. Exo 20:13  

7.      Thou shalt not commit adultery. Exo 20:14  

8.      Thou shalt not steal. Exo 20:15  

9.      Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. Exo 20:16   

10.  Thou shalt not covet Exo 20:17  

 

Jesus required and told others to repent or they would die…

Now there were some present at that very season who told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And He answered and said unto them, Think ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they have suffered these things? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all in like manner perish. Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think ye that they were offenders above all the men that dwell in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish...Luke 13:1-5.

 

You cannot willfully break one of the Ten Commandments and please God…you must forsake your behavior and conform to God’s standard…

For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries...Hebrews 10:26-27.

 

Listen to what Peter told those Jews He accused of killing Jesus…

Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made Him (Jesus) both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified. Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do (we murdered the Christ)?

…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...Acts 2:36-39.

 

We must change and be like our Father in Heaven…just like our dads here on earth teach us their commandments or ways of living. Our Heavenly Father…the Creator…the Great I am having a moral code which is the morals found in the Ten Commandments…Can you read the Ten Commandments and say I have never broken one of these…yes or no?

 

If you have broken one these then you need forgiveness from God…just like Peter told those who killed Jesus.

…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...Acts 2:36-39.

 

Jesus died having never broken any of the Commandments of God and laid down His sinless life so our Father in Heaven would forgive you and I of breaking His moral code or heart…Do you believe Jesus died on the cross and was raised from the dead so you and I could be forgiven…yes or no?

 

Are you like those who murder or crucified Jesus…and need forgiveness of stealing…lying…murdering…coveting…adultery… or any other commandments…yes or no?

 

If you do not repent…then you can find no forgiveness…listen

For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries. A man that hath set at nought Moses' law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses: of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden underfoot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant wherewith he was sanctified an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? For we know Him that said, Vengeance belongs unto Me, I will recompense. And again, The Lord shall judge His people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God...Hebrews 10:26-31.

 

Prayer

Our Father in Heaven…please reveal and supply all our needs to conform to the morality of the Ten Commandments so we may develop a character like Yours and so our soul will prosper and we can be in health by loving our neighbor as ourself for 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.
