America Bless God…

America Bless God…

You have heard God Bless America? How about America bless God with deeds of repentance…with true deeds and loving your neighbor as yourself…as in feeding the hungry…clothing your neighbor…visiting those that are sick praying for them…taking care of a stranger…visiting those in prisons…these are the talents Jesus said we are to use. America, are you blessing God or is God blessing you?

All God requires is faithful obedience to the simple truth… Jesus said the two greatest commandments is to love God with all your heart mind soul spirit and strength and the second is to love your neighbor as yourself… love works no ill will towards its neighbor are you helping are you part of the solution or are you part of the problem? (Mark 12:29-31) You ever notice you tell the truth, and the problems get smaller or solved?

Jesus the Christ of Nazareth died on the cross and was raised from the dead three days later so that you'd never have to choose a wrong or evil thing so that you can always choose the right thing and do what is true… Jesus died so all your wrongs could be forgiven and so that you can never do a wrong thing again he will teach you the truth but you have to obey him in righteousness… Jesus will never ask you to do a wrong thing and Jesus will show you how to do a right thing Jesus will show you how to be forgiven with the father of all things…

Does this sound like good news to you? Then…listen…Jesus died so you never have to choose a wrong thing again and He will teach you the truth so that you can always do what is right…will you follow Jesus and agree to read the New Testament or New Agreement of Christ? Yes, or no? Do you believe Jesus died on the cross and was raised from the dead? Yes, or no?

Listen to Jesus words…

Matthew 11:27-30 All things have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knows the Son, save the Father; neither doth any know the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son wills to reveal him. 28 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light…If you agree to read the New Agreement between God and mankind called the New Testament of Christ…you will be taking on Christ yoke…what He requires and be learning the truth found in Christ…you will find freedom from evil or rest for your soul as you learn the truth and practice it faithfully…Will you agree to read the New Testament of Christ? Yes, or no?

Matthew 5:5-8 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Matthew 18:3-6 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. 5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receives me: 6 but whoso shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depth of the sea.

Mark 16:15-16 And he said unto them, go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieves shall be condemned.

Father, please clean us and help us to be faithful we are but children in diapers before You…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Bring fruits worthy of repentance…

Bring forth fruits worthy of repentance…

Sometimes words can cover so much and we receive so much mercy and forgiveness but what happens when words for forgiveness does not change our situation…we have to bring forth fruits worthy of repentance… sometimes God is like I hear what you're saying…but let me see… you mean what you say…before I do another thing…

Matthew 3:7-8 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said unto them, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruit worth of repentance…many of the religious leaders of John the Baptist day had reputations of being blameless and yet he told them to bring forth fruits worthy of repentance deeds that God would accept…

The minimum requirements for Jew were not breaking the 10 commandments… Jesus said the greatest of all commandments is to love God with all your heart with all your mind with all your soul and with all your strength and he said the second greatest commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself… on these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets…(Mark 12:29-31)

Jesus said not to even offer a sacrifice until you made things right with your brother… can you look everybody in the eye…can you shake everybody's hand… if not go make corrections now… wait for the right opportunity ask for forgiveness at the right time… seek mercy… you're the one that done the wrong they're the better person that has to forgive you…(Mat 5:22-24).

In the parable of the talents…Jesus tells a story about three men that were given a large sum of money Two of which traded and made more money for their master and were given more to be faithful with…one hid the money and was unfaithful and was thrown into the outer darkness…that which he had was taken and given to the faithful. Jesus illustrates the parable of the talents…with a judgement scene…he expected people to use money or talents to do His will… Matthew 25:31-46 But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory: 32 and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separated the sheep from the goats; 33 and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in; 36 naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink? 38 And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, even these least, ye did it unto me. 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink; 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; naked, and ye clothed me not; sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44 Then shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto me. 46 And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life.

Have you feed the hungry…clothed the naked…took care of strangers…visited the sick…visited those in prison…gave drink to a thirsty man?

These are worthy sacrificial deeds of repentance and mercy…

Father, forgive and bless us for we are sinful men and women in need of deeds worthy of repentance and mercy so we can reconcile with You our Creator and Sustainer and receive mercy…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Bring forth fruits worthy of repentance…

Confession is good for your soul…

Confession is good for the soul…

James 5:16-17 Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The supplication of a righteous man avails much in its working…in its working…a fervent earnest prayer from a righteous man can help heal a sinner…that mercy be shown…Jesus said first make things right with your brother or sister even if you just called them a name…listen to what Jesus said…

Matthew 5:22-24  but I say unto you, that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, (idiot) shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever shall say, You fool, shall be in danger of the hell of fire.  23 If therefore You art offering your gift at the altar, and there remembers that your brother hath aught against you, 24 leave there your gift before the altar, and go your way, first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift…sacrifice.

Jesus said if you called someone a fool or idiot…then you need to make it right with them before you offer a sacrifice…God sees being right with your fellow man more valuable than your gold in your bank accounts…God sees being right with Him and His children as more valuable than an offering of sacrifice…obedience is better than sacrifice…

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. Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

We are all just children in diapers before God…Jesus said we had to be converted like a little child or we will not enter into the kingdom of God…Jesus said we got to put Him first…so this means…we got to be daddy Jesus…can I? Daddy Jesus, may I? Daddy Jesus, I need a? Daddy Jesus, will you? Daddy Jesus look what they did to me? Jesus wants first place in your heart…Jesus wants to rule your heart not just be in it…with truth and right doing…righteousness.

Father, please help us confess and repent…we renounce anything unholy…please forgive all our sins…and help us make amends where needed with deeds of repentance, confession, and mercy…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The supplication of a righteous man availed much in its working…in its working…a fervent earnest prayer from a righteous man can help heal a sinner…that mercy be shown…Jesus said first make things right with your brother or sister even if you just called them a name…listen to what Jesus said…
