Increase our faith...

Increase our faith…

And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you…

…But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat? And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do...Luke 17:5-10.


How do you develop faith to move a tree into the sea? Jesus said the tree would obey if they had enough faith to do so. Then uses an illustration of being a servant. Jesus has said in other places that the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven is the servant. How can a servant develop great faith? Have you ever prayed down a miracle…a blessing? These apostles were given power to heal and do miracles in Luke 10…then asked after doing miracles to have their faith increased.


Jesus said as concerning servants when you done all you can think of say we are unprofitable servants…because we are in a Monarchy in the Kingdom of Heaven where God is Supreme…the greatest you and I could be is a servant to the King of Kings. We can never tell God what to do…but perhaps we can learn to tell a tree to plant itself into the sea and will obey us. Jesus was talking to the Apostles which had been miracle workers then tells them the best they could ever be is to be a servant. Even the creation will obey your faith in me…as you serve the King of Kings.


Prayer

Father thank you for our faith in You and Your Son, please meet our deepest needs concerning faith and our soul…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Do you do what is right in your own eyes...

Is Jesus pleased when we do what is right in our own eyes?


Jesus said…Blessed are the meek (obedient): for they shall inherit the earth...Matthew 5:5. Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works...Titus 2:14.


What determines right in our own eyes verses being obedient to Jesus and His teaching?

We have to have a what did Jesus do or say for everything we do. A thus it is written in the New Testament of Christ…or a Jesus said it…so I did it for everything I do. Then and only then can we be sure we are obeying Jesus and not our own hearts and minds. We can lead ourselves astray if we do not keep the words of Jesus in our hearts and minds.


Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth...2 Timothy 2:15.


We can only divide or apply the word of truth if we know the word of truth then by having a thus it is written vocabulary and teaching performing or obeying the truth by rightly applying the truth to our lives and in works the lives of others.


Prayer

Father please help us know and do the teaching of Jesus and remember the promise for the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us forever…so we can rightly apply Your truth in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Who is the source of the light which is in you…

Who is the source of the light which is in you…

for where thy treasure is, there will your heart be also. The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is the darkness! No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon...Matthew 6:21-24


What do you seek…the kingdom of heaven…or comfort, pleasure, easy street…etc. Are you fully converted and seeking only the kingdom of God? Are listening to Buddha…Mohamad…other religions…or is Jesus your only source?

 

If Jesus is not your source of truth, then you are full of darkness masquerading as light…

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stands not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own (mind and will): for he is a liar, and the father thereof. (the first liar)..John 8:44.

 

There is a false prophet coming to deceive you into thinking you abide in the truth but his fruits are not Holy…

even he, whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness...2 Thessalonians 2:9-12

 

We have to love the truth…seek the truth…and the truth will set us free from the darkness of the liars…and lies

 

Prayer

Father please reveal the truth to us so we can walk in the light of Your Son…doing what is right with man and You…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
