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.

Do you want to be blessed with a pure heart…


Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God...Matthew 5:8…

How many people you know are pure in heart…We do not know the heart only God does and he makes His presence known to those who see the world like He does. Many adults could benefit from the advice of the play ground of children. How many adults are quick to say sorry like a child or Hi my name is Ben want to be friends and play?


Jesus said we can know the truth and the more truth we are faithful with the more truth will be given…listen…

For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath. Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. Mat 13:12-13.


The truth is like riding a bike…if you do not use the truth then you are shaky when you begin to ride again. When is the last time you thought it is in the bible but I do not know how it is said or where I read it. We have got to become sharper like a sword and have a book chapter and verse for the words we say are from the Bible. A thus it is written. When is the last time you have read the New Agreement between God and mankind called the New Testament of Jesus Christ?


Jesus said… 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...John 8:31-32.


How can you be pure in heart without the truth from Jesus who is the source of all virtue and purity?


Will you re-read or perhaps read the New Testament for the first time…many in todays generations are practicing what is right in their own eyes justifying themselves by themselves. Many are turning to Jesus for the truth and learning how to be pure in heart. Do you want to be pure in heart? Then take Jesus teaching and let that be your eyes….take each verse and store them in your heart and live by them…you will become more pure in heart by doing so and see more of God and His will for you in this life.


Prayer

Father please give us more virtue and purity so we can see You and learn how to behave in Your sight. Please meet our soul’s deepest needs so we may prosper and be in health as our soul prospers in Your Kingdom…IN Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
