Rom 2:13, for not the hearers of the law are just before God but the doers of the law shall be justified

1. Are you worried about other people and their sins? Psalms 1:1, blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners not sits in the seat of the scornful. Are you trying to stop other people from sinning? We are told we are blessed if we do not stand in the way of sinners. You can give them God’s word but we cannot prevent them from sinning.

2. Are you listening to gossips fill you in about the horrible things they have done? 1 Tim 5:13, …and withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house, and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. These people that are always sharing the news of what is going on are doing nothing but sinning against God and spreading news that they ought not.

3. Are you always in a state of chaos and having to quarrel, fight, and struggle for peace and spiritual safety between them and you? Col 3:13, …forbearing one another and forgiving one another if any man has a quarrel against any, even as Christ forgave so also do you. Did Jesus say forgive them they know not what they are doing on the cross? 1 Pet 4:15, but let none of you suffer as a murderer or as a thief or as an evildoer or as a busybody in other men’s matters.

4. Are you involved in other people’s affairs? If so then stop and mind your own business. Get your own house in order and fear God. Jesus said, And why do you behold the mote that is in your brother’s eye but do not consider the beam that is in your own eye? Or how will you say to your brother, let me pull out the mote out of your eye and behold a beam is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of your own eye and then you shall see clearly how to cast the mote out of your brother’s eye Matt 7:3-5.

5. Are you trying to punish the evildoer? Rom 12:9, dearly beloved avenge not yourselves but rather give place unto wrath for it is written, vengeance is mine I will repay says the Lord. We are to pray for our enemies and overcome evil with good, not render unto them punishment. Did Jesus die for the wicked that believe or just the righteous that believe?

6. Are you trying to convert the same people over and over and they will not respond to the words of God? Jesus says, Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet and turn again and rend you Matt 7:6. Jesus said in John 8:44, there is no truth in the devil some people would rather believe the ways of this world than to bring their sins to the light of the cross of Christ through repentance and obedience to God.

Rom 2:7-10, to them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality: eternal life, but unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that does evil of the Jew first and also of the gentile but glory honor and peace to every man that works good to the Jew first and also of the Gentiles

Father help us get our houses in order and meet our souls deepest needs, heal our souls wounds and may we prosper and be in health as our souls prospers, in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Who do you obey?

Romans 6:16, “know you not that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey, whether sin unto death or of obedience unto righteousness?”

We all have been talked into doing something stupid or irrational by our friends, family, or co-workers. We all have listened to the wrong person, at the wrong time, with the wrong ideas and thought yea that sounds good. There is a worldly wisdom, there are worldly principles, there are worldly philosophies, there are worldly religions, or false religions, Jesus said “there shall arise false Christs, false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders insomuch that if it were possible they shall deceive the elect” Matt 24:24. This passage tells us plainly that we will sin if we follow the wrong “voice” or teaching or preaching or wisdom or philosophy. Jesus said there would be people with great signs that are false Christ and prophets. So how do you know you are following the Real Jesus Christ that died on the cross was buried for three days and rose?

Simply this, by reading the New Testament of Christ. The New Testament of Christ has been bound and sealed in Heaven. It is the same for every man. God does not preach two messages that would make Him the author of confusion. God has only one agreement between God and every man that is mediated through the redeeming work of Jesus Christ who has done all the work needed to reconcile with God. We need not a new revelation, we do not need a new word from God, what we need to renew our minds with the already spoken and recorded word of God found in the pages of the New Testament of Christ. Jesus warned us about false Christs, false prophets, and also said this of the religious leaders called the Pharisees, “every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up, let them alone, they be blind leaders of the blind and if the blind lead, both shall fall into the ditch” Matt 15:13-14.

So Jesus let us, …and be not conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of our mind, that we may prove what is good and acceptable and perfect will from You our God, in Jesus name may it be so.

Jesus will save to the uttermost...

Hebrews 7:25-26, wherefore he is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever lives to make intercession for them. For such a high priest became us, who is Holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners and made higher than the heavens.

Jesus is all anyone will ever need. He said in John that He is the bread of life and no one that comes to Him will hunger. He says in Matthew 6 that if you seek Him and His kingdom first you will have food, clothing, or the necessities of life. In Romans we are told that nothing can separate us from the love of God, not man, not angels, not any created thing can separate us from God and His Love. Jesus told the woman at the well in John 3, that she could have asked and He would have gave her Living Water. Jesus is the all sufficient, all sustaining, all powerful, all knowing, ever present, God and Savior of mankind.

God rejoices over any sinner that repents. Jesus said that He did not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance. Jesus became a man and died on the cross in order to make a way of salvation to those that realize they are lost apart from God. Jesus said that unless you forgive then you cannot be forgiven. Jesus said unless you become like a little child then you cannot enter the kingdom of God. Jesus said unless you are born of the water and the Spirit you cannot enter into the kingdom. In Romans 8, the Holy Spirit reveals to us that Jesus intercedes for us and also that the Holy Spirit of promise intercedes for us with groaning that cannot be uttered. We have two members of All Knowing who are making intercession for us. In 2 Peter we read about Jesus providing everything you need for life and godliness. When you put Him first, we will have the physical needs met and the blood of Jesus will cleanse us from all past and present sins as we faithfully learn to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh.

Jesus is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me and He has always been the faithful Lord that promises to never leave us or forsake us. At times in my life, I have turned my back on God and followed after the wisdom of this world, and principles that work rebellion. I have followed my imagination and voices of the world and called it Jesus. Look at Mary the mother of Jesus, she was righteous and chosen to raise the Lord, but God did not talk to her. Instead, an angel spoke to her. There are many deceiving spirits and seducing spirits out there trying to tell people their thoughts, ideas, doctrines, and teachings but the Word of God had been bound and sealed in earth and heaven and will never change. The only word we can trust is written in the New Testament. Let us continue to seek Jesus and to have a it is written vocabulary or a thus has the Lord said.

Father we pray your will be done and not ours, help us to trust you and your decisions for our life, by trusting that the Holy Spirit of promise is interceding as well as our Savior Jesus according to your scripture in Romans 8:26,34. You are all we need, please teach us to trust in You, may it be so in Jesus name.
