Blessed are the poor in spirit

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven...Matthew 5:3.

 

Blessed are you when you say I cannot do it without you God for yours is the kingdom of Heaven…Jesus is said to be humble and obedient to the Father’s will. He is our example to follow. He humbled Himself as a Human and died on the cross and was raised from the dead in order that we may choose no evil or wrong deed. Jesus died to free us and our decisions from this evil world. Do you depend on God…everyday all day long or just sometimes? Are we not all just beggars begging God for salvation and grace to sustain us one day at a time?

 

Jesus 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 18:3-4. The poor in spirit says daddy I cannot unless we do it together…or daddy can I…daddy will you…daddy look what they done to me. How can an adult depend on God like a child…Jesus said unless we are converted like a child we cannot enter the kingdom of God…we have to learn dependence on God as a child does his parents. Perhaps we should have we (me and God) attitude instead of a me can do it attitude. A what are Jesus and I going to do today attitude.

 

It is written God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble…do you want God’s favor in your life then we must learn to be humble and depend on God like a child does his parents and when we are fully converted like a child depending on God for everything in our lives…then the kingdom of heaven is ours to share with its King Jesus.

 

Can you live your life without Jesus…yes or no? Jesus said you will hold on to Him and despise the world or you will love Him and hate the world. Which do you do…hold on to Jesus and despise having to live in the world with its lusts that tempts us or do you love (obey) God and hate the world for having temptations?

 

Prayer

Father please help us fully be converted like a child and may we continue to depend on You for our very existence please meet our soul’s deepest needs so we may prosper and be in health as our soul prospers…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

It is always right to do right and wrong to do wrong…

It is always right to do right and wrong to do wrong…

 

And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted Him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He (Jesus) said unto him, What is written in the law? how do you read? And he answering said, You will love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself. And He (Jesus) said unto him, You have answered right: this do, and you shalt live...Luke 10:25-28. And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God...Romans 12:2. Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable (not seeking to be cleansed), and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate (without faith)...Titus 1:15-16.

 

When asked how to get to heaven or eternal life…Jesus asked how he understands or reads the written word of God and the response was to love God with all of your heart, mind, soul, and strength and your neighbor as yourself. The whole time the lawyer was trying to get Jesus to slip up and teach a false doctrine…talk about hypocrisy. Do we really treat people the way we want to be treated…yes or no? Do we forgive no matter how many times we been done wrong…do we instruct others who will turn from their wickedness… Jesus said not to cast your pearls before swine unless they turn on you and hurt (rend) you. Some people will never forsake their evil ways like the thief loves stealing…or the porn they will not forsake…or the lies they will not tell the truth about…etc.

 

We have to change and obey God rather than men if you want to be saved. Jesus said to forgive your brother if he comes to you and says he repents. How many never repent and ask for forgiveness when they are found out…thus not loving God with all their heart? I know addiction is hard to quit…and some have fallen of the boat so many times they need a to always wear a life jacket on the shore. We have a promise… For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind...2 Timothy 1:7. We can overcome when we love God with all our strength and mind…it is always right to do right and wrong to do wrong.

 

Prayer

Father please meet our souls deepest needs for a sound mind and to know the mind of Christ so we can always know the right thing to do by our neighbors…please reveal the truth to us so we can behave properly…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Warning not to be lead astray by false teachers and Christians…

Warning not to be lead astray by false teachers and Christians…

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 you the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God...1 John 4:1-2. But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall privily bring in destructive heresies (teachings), denying even the Master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their lascivious (bad lusts) doings; by reason of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of...2 Peter 2:1-2. Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by Your name, and by Your name cast out demons, and by Your name do many mighty works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, you that work iniquity (Your own will…lawlessness)...Matthew 7:21-23.

 

How do you determine truth from error…when Jesus said the truth will set you free…

You must read and study the Bible to obtain and retain the truth of what is written. We must have a it is written vocabulary and knowledge base from the New Testament of Christ. The New Testament of Christ is the New Agreement in effect today with our Creator brought to us by Jesus Christ dying and being raised from the dead. Jesus teaching is the Law by which we will be Judged on the Final Day of Judgement. We can check the words of those who teach us with Holy Bible to see if it is written and is therefore true.

 

Prayer

Father please help us not to be lead astray by false teachers but to know the truth and be free to practice the truth. Please meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal any soul wounds…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
