Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled…

Jesus the Christ of Nazareth is the God of gods…Lord of Lords…and the King of Kings…

Jesus was born of a virgin…whom was prophesied about from the Jewish people…who are the descendants of Abraham…Isaac…and Jacob. Mary being the virgin who brought forth a manchild and Jesus being born into the tribe of Judah as a Jew had only to keep the minimum requirements of the Ten Commandments to be considered sinless and Holy. Jesus being born of a virgin having our Creator being His Father…was and is the Only Human Son God ever Fathered and being born of a virgin no man can say they are greater than Jesus the Christ from the town of Nazareth.

 

Jesus then being born into the tribe of Judah obey the Jewish law and remained sinless from birth…Jesus never broke one of the Ten Commandments. Jesus then being full of Grace and Truth…offered His life as a substitute for yours and my own punishment…So He forgive us and reveal the Truth to us and we can do right by God and fellow man. Do you believe a real human died and was raised from the dead name Jesus so He could forgive and reveal the truth to you…so you can never choose a wrong thing again…yes or no?

 

Jesus does not want to be in your heart He want to rule it…

If any man comes unto Me (Jesus), and hates not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Whosoever doth not bear his own cross (burden to become and stay a Christian), and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

Luk 14:26-27 ASV

 

Burden of your cross…reconciling your actions with fellow creation or mankind…

If therefore you are offering your gift (sacrifice) at the altar, and there remember that your brother has aught (grievance) against 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 your adversary (come to terms) quickly, while you are with him in the way (delivered into his hands); lest haply 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 have paid the last farthing (requirement).

Mat 5:23-26 ASV

 

Jesus will always provide and be your enough…

Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall not hunger, and he that believes on Me shall never thirst.

Joh 6:35 ASV

But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. But seek you first His kingdom, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Mat 6:30-34 ASV

 

Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Mat 5:6 ASV

 

And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you 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. 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? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he give him a scorpion? If you 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?

Luk 11:9-13 ASV

 

When praying report for duty and do not give God instructions…

Jesus answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God, the Lord is one: and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. The second is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Mar 12:29-31 ASV

 

 

Prayer for reconciliation and revealing of the truth needed for righteousness…

Father please meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal our soul’s deepest wounds so we may prosper and be in health as we learn the truth and practice what is right before You…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

The Role of Jesus the Author of Salvation...

Jesus Christ of Nazareth said…he that believeth on Me, believeth not on Me, but on Him (Jehovah) that sent Me. And he that beholds Me beholds Him that sent Me. I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on Me may not abide in the darkness. And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejects Me, and receives not my sayings, hath one that judges him: the word that I spoke, the same shall judge him in the last day…

…This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, himself man, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all; the testimony to be borne in its own times…

Jesus said…For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through Him

…though He (Jesus) was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which He suffered; and having been made perfect, He became unto all them that obey Him the author of eternal salvation…

(Joh 12:44-48 1Ti 2:3-6 Joh 3:16-17 Heb 5:8-9)

 

We must all appear before Judge Jesus...

Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men; and being found in fashion as a man, He humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross. Wherefore also God highly exalted Him, and gave unto Him the name which is above every name; that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father…

…For to this end Christ died and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living. But you, why dost you judge thy brother? or you again, why dost you set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, to Me every knee shall bow, And every tongue shall confess to God. So then each one of us shall give account of Himself to God…

…For we must all be made manifest (made known) before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things done in the body (the church), according to what he hath done, whether it be good or bad…

…And He that sits on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He saith, Write: for these words are faithful and true. And He said unto me, They are come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcomes shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and He shall be my son. But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part shall be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.

(Php 2:5-11 Rom 14:9-12 2Co 5:10 Rev 21:5-8)

 

We can overcome any form of temptation...if we fall then we reached for forbidden fruit...

Wherefore let him that thinketh he stands take heed lest he fall. There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that you may be able to endure (remove yourself from or overcome it) it. Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry (1Co 10:12-14 ASV)

 

Prayer of deliverance…and surrender to Jesus Christ…

Father I renounce satan and his kingdom…I renounce all other forms of creation…please reveal the truth to me so I can change and do right by You and Your Only Son in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Ever heard of The Apple of My Eye…The Desire of My Eyes…The Light of The Eye…listen to as it is written…

Where your treasure is so is there your heart

Jesus said…for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single (if you have tunnel vision seeking the light), your whole body shall be full of light. But if your eye be evil (if you seek not the light), your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you be darkness, how great is the darkness…(if you walk not in the light then your good deeds are not of the light but the darkness)…

…He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathers not with me scatters…

…Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by its fruit. Ye offspring of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man out of his good treasure bringeth forth good things: and the evil man out of his evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. And I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

(Mat 6:21-23 Mat 12:33-37 Mat 12:30)

 


Jesus is the truth...the light...you need for your soul's freedom

Jesus also said…

Again therefore Jesus spoke unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life…Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by Me…Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

(Joh 14:6 Joh 8:12 Joh 8:31-32)

 

The Danger of Hypocrisy and Lukewarm Faith

…I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth…

…Warning unto you, scribes and Pharisees, (preachers knowing they’re not right with God) hypocrites! for you tithe mint and anise and cummin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law, justice, and mercy, and faith: but these you ought to have done, and not to have left the other undone. You blind guides, that strain out the gnat, and swallow the camel! Warning unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full from extortion and excess. You blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the platter, that the outside thereof may become clean also. Warning unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are like unto whited sepulchers, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but inwardly ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity…

…Warning unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte (convert); and when he is become so, ye make him twofold more a son of hell than yourselves.

(Mat 23:15 Mat 23:23-28 Rev 3:15-16)

 

The Struggle is Real...Worldly Desires vs. Eternal Devotion

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. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vainglory (prestige and position) of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abides forever. (1 Jn 2:15-17)

 

Prayer for Embracing Jesus as Our Sole Source and Light

Father we renounce any other source and ask You would make Jesus Your Only Son our Only Source and Supply that we may be full of light and walk not in the darkness of our own desires…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
