What person can beat their chest or say I am righteous to God

 

He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth Jehovah require of thee, but to do justly, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with thy God...Micah 6:8?

 

And he spake also this parable unto certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and set all others at nought: Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I get. But the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote his breast, saying, God, be thou merciful to me a sinner. I say unto you, This man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted...Luke 18:9-14.

Even so ye also, when ye shall have done all the things that are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which it was our duty to do...Luke 17:10. We are truly unprofitable servants of God because we require the blood of Jesus Christ to forgive us our sins or evil deeds. None is righteous for all have sinned and fallen short of the Perfection or Glory of God. Jesus imputed righteousness is our only claim to heaven. May we all be humble and walk in the Light as Jesus is in the light so we can be continually cleansed of our wrongs.

 

Prayer

Father we are but unprofitable servants please forgive us and equip us to serve You and Your only Son Jesus and meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal our bodies…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

About Jesus of Nazareth…

About Jesus of Nazareth…

but of the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever; And the sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows...Hebrews 1:8-9. though he 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...Hebrews 5:8-9. 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...John 3:16-17. and he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world. And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him...1 John 2:2-4.

 

Do you know God’s only Son Jesus the Christ of Nazareth…yes or no? Have you died to yourself and are living for Jesus after being baptized? Jesus died on the cross and was raised from the dead after having offered himself as a sacrifice for sin in the atoning work of salvation. Jesus is the propitiation or forever atoning sacrifice for our sinful or evil deeds.  All we who have been baptized need to do is stop our evil or sinful deeds and confess our sins and we have reconciliation with God our Father. Are you faithful to Jesus you staying in the will and working of God by keeping the commandments…Jesus answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God, the Lord is one (Authority) : 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....Mark 12:29-31.

 

Prayer

Father please forgive us and grant us repentance unto the confession of our evil or sinful deeds and meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal us from our own sinful pasts…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

You caught in a snare of the devil or know someone who is...

Are you persuaded Jesus is your Lord and Master…yes or no?

For which cause I suffer also these things: yet I am not ashamed; for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed unto him against that day...2 Timothy 1:12.


Faithful is the saying: For if we died with him, we shall also live with him: if we endure, we shall also reign with him: if we shall deny him, he also will deny us: if we are faithless, he abideth faithful; for he cannot deny himself...2 Timothy 2:11-13.


And the Lord's servant must not strive, but be gentle towards all, apt to teach, forbearing, in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth, and they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him unto his will...2 Timothy 2:24-26.


Are you caught in the snare of the devil...yes or no?

Have you died with Jesus in baptism (Rom 6:1-4) and been raised with Him (Col 2:12)…yes or no? Perhaps you have fallen somehow and caught in the snare of the devil…perhaps you are working on someone who is caught in the snare of the devil. They have to acknowledge the truth or confess the sin or agreement that landed them in the snare of the devil. They have to acknowledge they have an agreement or been snared by the devil to do the devil’s will. Will you renounce the devil and acknowledge the truth…yes or no? Have you been baptized or will you be baptized in order to be raised with Jesus? Yes or no?


Prayer

Father we renounce satan your enemy and all forms of darkness please grant us repentance and reveal the needed truth we need to be saved and cleansed from our past evil deeds and change to please You…and meet our soul’s deepest needs that we may be in health and prosper as our soul prospers…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen,
