What person can beat their chest or say I am righteous to God

 

He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth Jehovah require of thee, but to do justly, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with thy God...Micah 6:8?

 

And he spake also this parable unto certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and set all others at nought: Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I get. But the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote his breast, saying, God, be thou merciful to me a sinner. I say unto you, This man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted...Luke 18:9-14.

 

What person can beat their chest or say I am righteous to God?

Even so ye also, when ye shall have done all the things that are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which it was our duty to do...Luke 17:10. We are truly unprofitable servants of God because we require the blood of Jesus Christ to forgive us our sins or evil deeds. None is righteous for all have sinned and fallen short of the Perfection or Glory of God. Jesus imputed righteousness is our only claim to heaven. May we all be humble and walk in the Light as Jesus is in the light so we can be continually cleansed of our wrongs.

 

Prayer

Father we are but unprofitable servants please forgive us and equip us to serve You and Your only Son Jesus and meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal our bodies…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

You caught in a snare of the devil or know someone who is...

Are you persuaded Jesus is your Lord and Master…yes or no?

For which cause I suffer also these things: yet I am not ashamed; for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed unto him against that day...2 Timothy 1:12.


Faithful is the saying: For if we died with him, we shall also live with him: if we endure, we shall also reign with him: if we shall deny him, he also will deny us: if we are faithless, he abideth faithful; for he cannot deny himself...2 Timothy 2:11-13.


And the Lord's servant must not strive, but be gentle towards all, apt to teach, forbearing, in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth, and they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him unto his will...2 Timothy 2:24-26.


Are you caught in the snare of the devil...yes or no?

Have you died with Jesus in baptism (Rom 6:1-4) and been raised with Him (Col 2:12)…yes or no? Perhaps you have fallen somehow and caught in the snare of the devil…perhaps you are working on someone who is caught in the snare of the devil. They have to acknowledge the truth or confess the sin or agreement that landed them in the snare of the devil. They have to acknowledge they have an agreement or been snared by the devil to do the devil’s will. Will you renounce the devil and acknowledge the truth…yes or no? Have you been baptized or will you be baptized in order to be raised with Jesus? Yes or no?


Prayer

Father we renounce satan your enemy and all forms of darkness please grant us repentance and reveal the needed truth we need to be saved and cleansed from our past evil deeds and change to please You…and meet our soul’s deepest needs that we may be in health and prosper as our soul prospers…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen,

Walk by faith not by sight...

We walk by faith and not by sight…

For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but so to think as to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to each man a measure of faith...Romans 12:3

 

I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me...Galatians 2:20.

 

if so be that ye continue in the faith, grounded and stedfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven; whereof I Paul was made a minister...Colossians 1:23.

 

Hereby we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and do his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is begotten of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, even our faith. And who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God...1 John 5:2-5.

 

Faith is rooted in the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Our belief that God has sent His only Son to be a forever atoning sacrifice for our sins and the work Jesus did on the cross cause us to change and become like God. We learn a way of truth telling and begin practicing the truth we have revealed to us through faith in Jesus and what is written in the New Testament of Christ. This faith of living and breathing for God and His Son Jesus changes our day-to-day life. Each of us can call on God and find faith in our daily activities. May we each learn to exercise faith and practice the truth revealed to us.

 

Prayer

Father please give us more faith and reveal more truth and meet our soul’s deepest needs as we learn to obey You and Your only Son Jesus teachings in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
