Our Creator does not tempt us at all…to do evil or sin…read a short devotional on overcoming temptation...


…Blessed is the man that endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to them that love Him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and He himself tempts no man: but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed (given opportunity). Then the lust, when it hath conceived, bears sin: and the sin, when it is full-grown, bringeth forth death…(Jas 1:12-15 ASV) Wherefore let him that thinks he stands take heed unless he fall. There has no temptation taken you but such as man can bear (any man can endure): but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry (anything drawing you away from Christ)…(1Co 10:12-14 ASV)…

 

…But I say, Walk by the Spirit, and you shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that you may not do the things that you would (without following Christ). But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law…(Gal 5:16-18)…But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror: for he beholds (looks at) himself, and goes away (from the mirror), and straightway forgets what manner of man he was. But he that looks into the perfect law, the (law) of liberty, and so continues, being not a hearer that forgets but a doer that works (the will of Christ), this man shall be blessed in his doing…(Jas 1:22-25 ASV)


…Now the works of the flesh are manifest (made known like the goods on a ships manifest), which are these: fornication (sex between unmarried), uncleanness, lasciviousness (evil lusts), idolatry, sorcery, enmities (hostile), strife (variance to God’s will), jealousies (unholy stinginess), wraths, factions, divisions, parties, envying(s) (wanting others blessings), drunkenness, revellings (drunk parties)…and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God…But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering (patiently enduring), kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness (obedience), self-control; against such there is no law. And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof. If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk. Let us not become vainglorious (self-glory…promoting), provoking one another, envying one another…(Gal 5:19-26 ASV)

 

Pray with me?

Dear Holy Father…please help us to endure the temptations we each face and help us to supply the needs of other Christians…and meet our soul’s deepest needs…our spirit’s deepest needs…and heal our body and other wounds from our sinful past and please show us mercy and bless the faithful with grace, mercy, peace, joy, love, wisdom, understanding, and please reveal the knowledge of the truth to us so we can do what is right by You and Your only Son Jesus Christ…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Jesus Christ is the Judge Who judges according to the truth He has revealed…

Jesus Christ is the Judge Who judges according to the truth He has revealed…

I charge you therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick (living) and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables…Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed; And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (from the lies which would lead you to hell)… All things are delivered unto Me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save (except) the Son, and He to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him. Come unto Me, all ye that labor (work) and are heavy laden (burdened), and I will give you rest. Take my yoke (teaching of truth) upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek (obedient to God) and lowly in heart (humble or approachable): and ye shall find rest unto your souls (freedom from the evil which would drag you away from the truth). For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (2Ti 4:1-4 Joh 8:31-32 Mat 11:27-30)


Do you love the truth revealed from Jesus Christ…It is written we must have a love of the truth to overcome satan and his lies…

For the mystery of iniquity (law without God) does already work: only he who now lets will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders (miracles based on a lie), And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion (a false reality not easily proven false unless you love the truth), that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness… Wherefore let him that thinketh he stands take heed lest he fall. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man (all men have felt or endured the same temptations): but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry… What say I then? that the idol is anything, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is anything? But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that you should have fellowship with devils. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: you cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. (2Th 2:7-12 1Co 10:12-14 1Co 10:19-21)


Prayer for adoption by Jesus in the truth…

Father please show us mercy for we stand condemned as a nation…we renounce any unholy source and all forms of idolatry and satan’s kingdom…please reveal the truth to us so we can change and do what is right by You and Your Holy Son Jesus Christ…please let the United States of America by Your last remnant and save us from Hell…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Can you out give God our Creator…

Can you out give God our Creator…


Can a man give anything to the Creator but love or as Jesus said … if You love Me then Keep My Commandments…Do you realize our only value is in the rightful obedience to the truth? Yes or no? We do not like to hear render obedience do we…If you do not obey the truth then God says He will burn you in hell fire forever…therefore man has no value other than fearing God and Keeping His Commandments.


The writer of Ecclesiastes said the whole purpose of man was to fear God and keep His commandments…Do you know your plan and purpose…Do you have a plan and purpose? Yes or no. Jesus of Nazareth (Acts 22:8) is the Author of Salvation (Heb 5:8-9) and will write you a plan and purpose in life…a plan of redemption…reconciliation and salvation which results in eternal life as He reveals the truth to you and you practice what is right with God and creation.


Jesus Christ of Nazareth…the only Jesus which came from the town in Israel named Nazareth…should really be said…Jesus the Christ…Christ is His title not His last name…it is His office…Jesus Christ is the only Son of our Father in Heaven and the Only One Qualified to Forgive you and teach you how to be right with His Father…Jesus died on the cross and was raised from the dead to institute His teaching as the Author of Salvation as a New Agreement between God and creation destroying the works of the devil. Jesus trained His Apostles and Holy Men of God to teach His New Agreement or teachings after He ascended into Heaven after being raised from the dead. Jesus being born into the tribe of Judah had to only meet the minimum requirements of never breaking the Ten Commandments…Jesus not from the priestly tribe of Levi never violated the Ten Commandments and remained sinless from birth until His death and even today remains sinless from Heaven where He reigns after being resurrected from the dead until His enemies are made His footstool…But of which of the angels hath He (Jehovah) said at any time, Sit You on my right hand, Till I make Your enemies the footstool of Your feet? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation? (Heb 1:13-14)


Jesus Christ said…All things have been delivered unto Me of my Father: and no one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does any know the Father, except the Son, and He to whomsoever the Son decides to reveal Him. Come unto Me, all you that labor (work) and are heavy laden (burdened), and I will give you rest. Take my yoke (Jesus Teaching of Truth) upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek (obedient to God) and lowly (humble or approachable) in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Mat 11:27-30) Do you want to learn the truth and be free from evil in order to do what is morally right before God…yes or no? Do you agree to read the New Testament of Christ in order to know the teachings of Jesus Christ…yes or no…if you agree then Jesus said you will find rest for your souls or free from the lies which torment your soul but you have to obey the Jesus the Truth and do what is right…sound like good news…Yes or no?


Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life: no one comes unto the Father, but by Me. (Joh 14:6) Jesus said before His ascension into Heaven after His resurrection…


As it is Written… And afterward He was manifested (made known) unto the eleven themselves as they sat at meat (food); and He upbraided (shamed) them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them that had seen Him after He was risen. And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He that believes (the good news) and is baptized will be saved; but he that disbelieves (rejects the message of Jesus) will be condemned. And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in My name will they cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise (way) 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 ASV


Father please meet our soul’s deepest needs for truth and reconciliation…please bless us so that our soul prospers…and please have mercy on America by granting us a leaf from the tree of life we are sin sick and need Your help…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
