Jesus…where every saint has a past and every sinner has a future and hope...

You just need Jesus’ presence to get an answer…

And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him…

…The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth….

…And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour… Mat 8:5-13

 

 

What is distance to faith…

Stretch your faith…would you get a yes to a prayer if you could physically approach Jesus when He was here on earth…yes or no? Then how hard is it to approach Jesus from heaven with the same requests?

 

 

Jesus wants you to pray…

…And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask any thing according to His will, He heareth us: And if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him…. 1Jn 5:14-15

 

…Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon Him; for He cares for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour… 1Pe 5:6-8

 

…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: 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… 1Co 10:12-14

 

Jesus said…Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him?

…Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there at: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it… Mat 7:7-14

 

 

Make a lifestyle out of lifting a prayer to Jesus ears…and meditating on His word…

…Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things… Php 4:6-8

 

 

Like King David said about the way of righteousness…

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in His law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the LORD knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. Psa 1:1-6 KJV

  1. Do not take advice from non-Christians

  2. Do not stop a sinner from sinning

  3. Meditate on God's word or Laws

 

 

Prayer

Father please help us in the way of righteousness and show us mercy by revealing the Truth we need to be reconciled with others and You…thank you for hearing us…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

You know the best way to have the last word…offer an apology.

You know the best way to have the last word…offer an apology.


…Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do you. And above all these things put on (love) charity, which is the bond of perfectness (completeness)… Col 3:12-14 KJV


Jesus taught… …And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses… Mat 6:12-15 KJV


…Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy… Mat 5:7 KJV


…But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposed in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work… 2Co 9:6-8 KJV


…O you that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these His doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly…? Mic 2:7 KJV

It never hurts you to forgive…however the sacrifice is worth the reward of reconciliation with a brother or sister…forgiveness heals you and them…and gives opportunity to God to glorify His name…He can create you whatever you need...He died to reconcile you to Himself…


Mat 18:15-20…explained…

…Moreover if your brother shall trespass against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone: if he shall hear you, you hast gained your brother…

1. First step to reconciliation is to let the brother know he has offended you…how many people are walking around offended by an offender and the offender does not even know they have sinned or offended a Christian?


…But if he will not hear you, then take with you one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established…

2. The second step is carry two or three of his closest friends or family and try to get him to reconcile and repent…if his mom there then it be like…johnny stole five dollar…momma going to say Johnny give him his five dollars back…or his best friend be like it just five bucks…reconcile.


…And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto you as an heathen (godless) man and a publican (Roman government official in Jesus day…a Jew who worked for the oppressive government)…

3. The third step is to carry it front of the church or congregation…we are trying to get Johnny to stop stealing…we have went to him one on one…we have went to him as family and friends…johnny will not follow Jesus…any ideas?


…Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything (for forgiveness and reconcillation) that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them...


4. When an agreement for reconciliation has been made in this process either between two individuals…or the sinner and family and friends…or if reconciliation has been made in front of the congregation…then those terms are binding in heaven and earth because forgiveness and reconciliation are achieved by these terms to the individuals involved. (Mat 18:14-20)

So can you look everybody in the eye and shake their hand…yes or no? You made everything right with your fellow man and God…yes or no?


Jesus said… Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother hath ought against (has been offended or done wrong by you) you; Leave there your gift before the altar, and go your way; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles you art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison. Verily I say unto you, You shalt by no means come out thence, till you hast paid the uttermost farthing (penny). Mat 5:23-26 KJV


Jesus said God will not even accept an offering from you unless you made your actions or deeds right with fellow man…God says He will not accept you unless you have made things right with those you done wrong…however in cases like murder…where it would take a miracle to undo the evil and make it right…one must pray for mercy because reparations are not possible (if it is impossible to repair the damage then pray for mercy).


Prayer

Father please show us mercy and we forgive all others so forgiveness and reconciliation can be achieved for eternal life in Your Name…please grant us repentance and the proper approach to reconcile with others and especially You…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

How do you get robes for the marriage supper of the Lamb…listen to what is written…

How do you get robes for the marriage supper of the Lamb…listen to what is written…

 

I do…what is the most important word in the bible for a Christian…do.

And Jesus answered and spoke unto them again by parables, and said, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain King, which made a marriage for His son, And sent forth His servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. Again, He sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: And the remnant took His servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them….

…But when the King heard thereof, He was wroth: and He sent forth His armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. Then saith He to His servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage….

…So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. And when the King came in to see the guests, He saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: And He saith unto him, Friend, how came thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the King to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen. Mat 22:1-14 KJV

 

 

When the end of time comes…are you one that has said “I do” to the marriage feast of the Lamb…The robes or wedding garments needed to be prepared are spoken of…

 

And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb… Rev 7:13-14

…Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints…

…And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. Rev 19:7-9

 

 

Have you said “ I do only for You” to Jesus…yes or no?

 

Jesus said…If any man come to Me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after Me, cannot be my disciple….

…For which of you, intending to build a tower, sits not down first, and counts the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish…

…Or what king, going to make war against another king, sits not down first, and consults whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an ambassage, and desires conditions of peace….

…So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsakes not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple…

…Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free…

…Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth…

…All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works… (Luk 14:26-33 KJV Joh 8:31-32 2Ti 2:15 2Ti 3:16-17)

 

Prayer

Father please grant us the robes we need to be prepared for the marriage supper of Your Only Son…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
