James 1:12-16 Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. 14 But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. 15 Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. 16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.


1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.


James 4:6-7 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.


1 John 2:15-17 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.


Father please help us not to fail but remain faithful today and we renounce anything of this world You do not allow in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Jesus when He adopts you also adopts your history…then gives you a future…

Jesus when He adopts you also adopts your history…then gives you a future…


Jesus said…John 3:19-21 And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hates the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God.

…Jesus died and was raised from the dead so you could repent or turn away from doing wrong or evil deeds the bible calls sin…such as lying…stealing…etc… Jesus died so all your wrongs could be forgiven…and will teach you how never to do a wrong thing again…but we have to bring to Him all of our past deeds…Jesus when He adopts you also adopts your history…yes that lie you told in first grade…Jesus got to forgive that too….Jesus gives you a plan and purpose…a future…Jesus said…


Jesus said…Matthew 18:3-4 and 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. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

…We have to be Daddy Jesus may I…Daddy Jesus can I…Daddy Jesus will you…Daddy Jesus look what they did to me…We have to put Jesus first and really are we all not just children in diapers before Jesus?


Matthew 18:21-22 Then came Peter and said to him, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? until seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times; but, Until seventy times seven.

…Jesus said…Matthew 6:14-15 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.


1 John 1:8-10 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.


1 John 2:15-17 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vainglory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.


Father…please meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal our soul’s deepest wounds…and teach us the truth so we can do right by You…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen…

Matthew 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

…a snake waits for the right opportunity to strike to take its prey…we have to wise in waiting to strike with the message of salvation from Jesus…harmless…blessing our enemies with the truth so their soul’s deepest needs for Jesus can be met…


Jesus said to love your neighbor as yourself…remember Christians…our job is to get them in heaven not into things…do what is best for your neighbor’s soul this is highest aim among men…


John 8:31-32 Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples; 32 and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Jesus said He will reveal the truth needed for your needs…all you have to do is what is right by God and fellowman…Jesus said…blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness…and who ever believes in Him…Jesus will never hunger and will never thirst…Do you want to know the truth in order to be able to do what is morally right with The Creator and your fellow man? Jesus is the Truth…the source of all Truth…He will reveal the truth if you ask to do right…by Him and your fellow man…


Jesus says you shall not steal…this means if you are faithful with the truth…you will have enough and will not have to steal…Jesus says you shall not covet…or want someone else’s stuff or spouse…this means He will create you or give you your very own…He always provides a way not to do a wrong thing…He will never lie to you…never ask you to do a wring thing…and will reveal the truth so you can be right with God and your other neighbors…


Luke 11:9-13 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened. 11 And of which of you that is a father shall his son ask a loaf, and he give him a stone? or a fish, and he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he give him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?


Matthew 18:3-4 and 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. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.


John 3:3-5 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

1 John 5:8 For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and the three agree in one.


Father please remove anything created that hinders us from doing what is right by you and fellow man…please equip and empower us to never do a wrong thing again…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
