Blessed are the poor in spirit

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven...Matthew 5:3.

 

Blessed are you when you say I cannot do it without you God for yours is the kingdom of Heaven…Jesus is said to be humble and obedient to the Father’s will. He is our example to follow. He humbled Himself as a Human and died on the cross and was raised from the dead in order that we may choose no evil or wrong deed. Jesus died to free us and our decisions from this evil world. Do you depend on God…everyday all day long or just sometimes? Are we not all just beggars begging God for salvation and grace to sustain us one day at a time?

 

Jesus said…Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven...Matthew 18:3-4. The poor in spirit says daddy I cannot unless we do it together…or daddy can I…daddy will you…daddy look what they done to me. How can an adult depend on God like a child…Jesus said unless we are converted like a child we cannot enter the kingdom of God…we have to learn dependence on God as a child does his parents. Perhaps we should have we (me and God) attitude instead of a me can do it attitude. A what are Jesus and I going to do today attitude.

 

It is written God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble…do you want God’s favor in your life then we must learn to be humble and depend on God like a child does his parents and when we are fully converted like a child depending on God for everything in our lives…then the kingdom of heaven is ours to share with its King Jesus.

 

Can you live your life without Jesus…yes or no? Jesus said you will hold on to Him and despise the world or you will love Him and hate the world. Which do you do…hold on to Jesus and despise having to live in the world with its lusts that tempts us or do you love (obey) God and hate the world for having temptations?

 

Prayer

Father please help us fully be converted like a child and may we continue to depend on You for our very existence please meet our soul’s deepest needs so we may prosper and be in health as our soul prospers…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

It is always right to do right and wrong to do wrong…

It is always right to do right and wrong to do wrong…

 

And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted Him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He (Jesus) said unto him, What is written in the law? how do you read? And he answering said, You will love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself. And He (Jesus) said unto him, You have answered right: this do, and you shalt live...Luke 10:25-28. And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God...Romans 12:2. Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable (not seeking to be cleansed), and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate (without faith)...Titus 1:15-16.

 

When asked how to get to heaven or eternal life…Jesus asked how he understands or reads the written word of God and the response was to love God with all of your heart, mind, soul, and strength and your neighbor as yourself. The whole time the lawyer was trying to get Jesus to slip up and teach a false doctrine…talk about hypocrisy. Do we really treat people the way we want to be treated…yes or no? Do we forgive no matter how many times we been done wrong…do we instruct others who will turn from their wickedness… Jesus said not to cast your pearls before swine unless they turn on you and hurt (rend) you. Some people will never forsake their evil ways like the thief loves stealing…or the porn they will not forsake…or the lies they will not tell the truth about…etc.

 

We have to change and obey God rather than men if you want to be saved. Jesus said to forgive your brother if he comes to you and says he repents. How many never repent and ask for forgiveness when they are found out…thus not loving God with all their heart? I know addiction is hard to quit…and some have fallen of the boat so many times they need a to always wear a life jacket on the shore. We have a promise… For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind...2 Timothy 1:7. We can overcome when we love God with all our strength and mind…it is always right to do right and wrong to do wrong.

 

Prayer

Father please meet our souls deepest needs for a sound mind and to know the mind of Christ so we can always know the right thing to do by our neighbors…please reveal the truth to us so we can behave properly…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Continue walking with and in Christ…

Continue walking with and in Christ…

As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and builded up in Him, and established in your faith, even as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. Take heed lest there shall be any one that maketh spoil of you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ: for in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily...Colossians 2:6-9…and through Him to reconcile all things unto Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens. And you, being in time past alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works, yet now has He reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and unreproveable before Him: if so be that ye continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven…Colossians 1:20-23. in whom you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ; having been buried with Him in baptism, wherein you were also raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead...Colossians 2:11-12


You have heard the good news of Jesus the Christ dying on the cross and being raised from the dead. You have been walking according to the royal law of loving your neighbor as yourself. You have been baptized and buried with Jesus in order to be raised unto eternal life with God. So Continue walking with Jesus and learn and practice the truth. Jesus said the truth will set us free and he that believes and is baptized shall be saved. So do not lose your faith or your walking in faith with Jesus but continue to grow and learn the truth.


Prayer

Father please meet our need for the truth and heal us of our infirmities. Deliver us from the kingdom of darkness and keep us in the light of Your kingdom and please meet our soul’s deepest needs so we may prosper in the truth and Your kingdom to which there is no end…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
