Do you want rest for your soul…yes or no?

How to get the truth and rest for your soul...


Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are you truly my disciples; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free...John 8:31-32.


I am not a Jew but this is true for me and for you…if we abide in the teachings of Jesus we will know the truth and the truth will set us free from the lies or false teachings. Jesus teachings lead us to life eternal and heaven our home…


Jesus said…All things have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knows the Son, save the Father; neither does any know the Father, save the Son, and He to whomsoever the Son wills to reveal Him. Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light...Matthew 11:27-30.


Do you want a light and easy burden…a yoke from Jesus yes or no? A yoke makes two oxen work together as one…Jesus is saying if you take His teaching on you He will come along side of you and help you to work as one with Him. If you do then you find rest for your soul. Do you want to have rest for your soul…free from evil…yes or no?


…What commandment is the first of all? 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...Mark 12:28-31.


Jesus burden is not hard to be born…the first thing to get right is to love God with all of your heart (feelings), mind (decisions), soul (your eternal life), spirit (the part of you not flesh), and your strength (your giving it your full effort). The second is treating fellow man just as yourself. We can always love God more and always love our neighbors more we can work on these two for the rest of eternity.


Prayer

Father we ask you would yoke us together with Jesus so we can learn the truth and practice what is right by You and our fellow man. Please meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal us from our past in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

What does God call evil…


When is the last time you have read the Ten Commandments and asked yourself to change for the better?

Here are the Ten Commandments

 

Thou shalt have no other gods before Me…Exodus 20:3 (No other religions)

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image…Exodus 20:4 (no lucky charms or idols)

Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain…Exodus 20:7 (Only use Jesus or God’s name in prayer or teaching)

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy Exodus 20:8 (keep yourself Holy so you can worship God)

Honor thy father and thy mother…Exodus 20:12 (do not disrespect your mom or your dad)

Thou shalt not kill…Exodus 20:13 (do not murder)

Thou shalt not commit adultery…Exodus 20:14 (be faithful to your marriage)

Thou shalt not steal…Exodus 20:15 (Do not steal)

Thou shalt not bear false witness…Exodus 20:16 (Do not lie)

Thou shalt not covet …Exodus 20:17 (Do not want what your neighbors have but want what God has given you)

 

If you practice loving your neighbor as your own self…then you will be practicing these…especially if you love God above all as your Supreme Neighbor. Never say God and not be praying or teaching.(you do want someone to say your name and then be like I did not mean to say it) Never look to a good luck charm or an idol for a blessing. Never disrespect your mom or your dad. (You gain respect by giving respect) Never murder someone. (you do not want to die so do not kill) Never cheat on your spouse. (you do not want your spouse to cheat so do not cheat) Never steal. You do not want it stolen from you so do not steal) Never lie. (you do not want to be lied to so do not lie) Never want someone else’s stuff (you do not want someone eyeing your stuff so do not want other peoples stuff but be content with what you have)

 

So are you truly loving God and your neighbor…yes or no?

 

Prayer

Father help us keep Your commandments and love our neighbors as ourself and especially You so we can worship you in spirit and truth any day…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life fit for Heaven…

…Does the bible tell you how different age groups are supposed to behave…It is written…

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, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

...Titus 1:15-16

1.      But speak thou the things which befit the sound doctrine: that aged men be temperate (self-control), grave (sincere), sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience:

2.      That aged women likewise be reverent (respectful) in demeanor, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good; that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sober-minded, chaste (pure), workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed

3.      The younger men likewise exhort to be sober-minded: in all things showing yourself an ensample of good works; in your doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity (being grounded), sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us.

4.      Exhort (encourage) servants to be in subjection to their own masters (bosses), and to be well-pleasing to them in all things; not gainsaying (talking back); not purloining (not taking away from), but showing all good fidelity (faith); that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.

...Titus 2:1-10

For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world; looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ; who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.

...Titus 2:11-14

 

In the book of Titus there are four group of people Titus is told what to tell them to do to behave correctly so they may be zealous of good works fit for Heaven. The aged man…the aged woman…the younger men…and all servants or slaves. You fit in one of these categories when you read this how do you measure up to the prescription for Titus preaching? Perhaps start on one of the traits you need to work on today and begin creating a new habit…do you have any spiritual growth goals set or just hope you make it. Why not get in tentful and do more than intend on growing…make a planned effort. I heard it takes longer to lose a habit than begin on…just know without trying the pathway to hell is paved with good intentions.

 

Prayer

Father please help us by meeting our soul’s deepest needs so we can continue to become more like Jesus and have a character fit for heaven our home…we renounce satan and his kingdom please show us mercy and help us grow…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
