If you do not work…then you should not eat…


Man has to work for his food…it has been this way since the garden of Eden when God pronounced His judgement onto Adam…here is what is written…


Genesis 3:17-19 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.


Adam was not deceived by the lie of satan but simply ate because his wife gave him to eat, and he ate. He was like we in this together, instead of Eve what did you do?


Here is the simple instruction given to the first Christians in Thessalonica…


2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.


We are expected to work for our food it has been a judgement upon man since near the beginning…


Here are Jesus’s words concerning following Him…


John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.


Jesus will teach you how to feed yourself and work for your food. Jesus says blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled. Do you need food? Then ask Jesus how to feed yourself right by Him… Do you need to know how to raise your family? Then ask Jesus to show you the right way to do it.


Father, we ask You would teach us the ways of Jesus because we are just babies in diapers before you not knowing how to clean or feed ourselves, in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.



We are just babies in diapers before God
Will work for food


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.




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.
