Do you hunger and thirst after righteousness…

Do you hunger and thirst after righteousness…

Righteousness exalts a nation, and many are saying God bless America. I believe America needs to bless God with deeds of repentance like the thief on the cross. One deed of repentance and the thief went out with his last dying breath repenting and defending Jesus. John the Baptist message was bring forth fruits (deeds) worthy of repentance and this is the same message that America needs to hear and do…

Jesus said…Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Do you hunger and thirst after being right with God and fellow man, like you hunger for food? Yes, or no? We are just children in diapers before God…Have you asked Jesus to teach you how to live your life right? Yes, or no? Do you want to know how to raise your kids right? Do you want to feed yourself right? Then ask Jesus and you desire to be right with God will be fulfilled…

Jesus said…John 8:31-32 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, if ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples; indeed, 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Do you want to know the truth? Yes, or no? Jesus did not say you will be told…but you will know the truth…He gives you ears to hear the truth if you uphold his word with true intentions of righteousness. God blesses those who are faithful and is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Heb 11:6) …

John an apostle of Jesus said…2 John 1:2 For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us forever. Once you learn the truth or hear the truth if you are baptized into Christ…the truth will not leave you and you will know the truth and it the truth will set you free from the lies found in this world.

Do you love the truth? Yes, or no? Listen to what Jesus said, John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. The truth is a Who not a What…Jesus is all truth, and all truth exists by Him. You do not have to defend the truth the truth defends or stands for himself.

Father, please grant us a love of the truth that will not be quenched, in Jesus of Nazareth name amen.

Acts 22:8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecute.

How faith is created...hearing God's word produces knowledge doing God's word produces faith and obedience.

Without faith it is impossible to please God, Heb 11:6. Anyone who wants to please God must use faith to please Him. So since it is impossible to please God without faith I thought I would do a little study of the Holy Scriptures to determine what real faith is and what it is not. Faith First you have to hear a message (Rom 10:7-17)

How do you hear?

Rom 10:14, How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of who they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?

God does not preach the good news of salvation in Christ through angels or from speaking from heaven but through the mouths of men.

Mathew 7:24, Jesus said, therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock

What do you hear?

Rom 10:17, faith comes from hearing and hearing from the word of God

Mathew 4:4, but he (Jesus) answered and said, it is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God

Luke 11:28, but he (Jesus) said, blessed are they that hear the word of God and keep it

How to determine truth from error?

Mark 7:09,13, and he(Jesus) said unto them, full well you reject the commandment of God that you may keep your own tradition. 13, Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which you have delivered and many such like things do you

Mark 16:20, and they went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following, amen (may it be so)

1 Cor 1:6, even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you

When there is confusion about the truth from God, then ask God to confirm His word of truth so that you will not be led astray. He did it for the first people that became Christians and there is no reason He will not do it now.

Sinners prayer

Jesus bleeds each time you do wrong...

He that have ears let him hear…Jesus the Christ the only Fathered of our Creator…who died on the cross and was raised from the dead so you could be reconciled to God. Here is the Holy Prophet Isaiah description of Jesus…

Isaiah 53:3-6 He was despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we esteemed him not. 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and Jehovah hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Jesus became the Author of Salvation to all those whom obey Him and began a New Agreement between God and creation that works salvation, reconciliation, and redemption called the New Testament of Christ. https://www.e-sword.net/downloads.html

Hebrews 5:8-9 though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered 9 and having been made perfect, he became unto all them that obey him the author of eternal salvation

Father, help us make Jesus smile not cry…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Acts 22:7-8 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecute you me? 8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecute.
