Do you have love for another soul…

Do you have love for another soul…

Yes or no?

Do you have ears to hear…the truth from God…

 

Now there went with Him great multitudes (many people) and He (Jesus) turned, and said unto them…

…If any man comes unto Me, and hates not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple…(Luke 14:25-26)

(If any soul…does not hate every other soul which does not abide in Jesus…then Jesus will not adopt him as a disciple, by revealing a greater or more important truth for his soul to prosper and grow in Christ.)

Jesus said as it is written…Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal…

(How do you obtain treasure in Heaven?)... for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The lamp of the body (flesh) is the eye (the lust of the eyes needs to be Holy not of the world) if therefore Your eye be single (visioning the Holy treasure), your whole body shall be full of light (Jesus also said…He is the Light of the world…it will be full of Jesus vision for you and your life). But if your eye be evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. (evil consists of three things…the lust of the flesh…what the body craves…the lust of the eyes…coveting and envy wanting what God has given you…and the pride of life…I am better than other people) If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is the darkness! (each religion has some form of godliness to counterfeit the Holy…if those counterfeit blessing are not from the Holy One then you are spreading evil not God’s will)

…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 (everything not God which most consider the love of money being the root of evil…because money can get most people the lust of the flesh…lust of the eyes…and allows people to assume they are better than the poor) (Mat 6:19-24 ASV)

Question to ask or check your heart…Do you despise having to give money to God when you give to the poor? Or Do you hold to giving to the poor because Jesus is the reason you have money?

 

Question to ask or check your heart…Do you hate to give money to the poor or do you love the opportunity to share what God has given you?

 

As it is written Jesus said…Whosoever does not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:27)

 

…So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounce not all that he has, he cannot be my disciple. (we essentially have nothing but what God has given us…we did not control the parents we were born into either rich or poor…we do not control the circumstances we have been thrown into…who can control his own health or determine his own parents?

…Salt therefore is good: but if even the salt has already lost its savor, wherewith shall it be seasoned? (salt is preservative…an influencer of taste…when you are thrown into troubled waters…do you influence the situation or do you preserve God’s will with the good news of Jesus and or prayer? Or do learn how to walk on the trouble seas like Peter and Jesus...salt which has not saving influence or taste?) It is fit neither for the land nor for the dunghill: men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. (Luk 14:33-35 ASV)

 

Are you the salt for Jesus…can you be His disciple?

Have you been baptized for Jesus…yes or no?

Will you be baptized for Jesus…yes or no?

Will you surrender all by renouncing everyone including your own life and live for Jesus?

 

Prayer

Father who is in Heaven…please save us from the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride in life and possessions or positions in life…and meet our deepest needs…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

 

A Pause for Prayer and Devotion to God…a Wellsaid Christian Devotional about the teachings of Jesus…

If you try to please everyone then you please no one...read a short devotional on overcoming temptation...

Our Creator does not tempt us at all…to do evil or sin…read a short devotional on overcoming temptation...


…Blessed is the man that endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to them that love Him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and He himself tempts no man: but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed (given opportunity). Then the lust, when it hath conceived, bears sin: and the sin, when it is full-grown, bringeth forth death…(Jas 1:12-15 ASV) Wherefore let him that thinks he stands take heed unless he fall. There has no temptation taken you but such as man can bear (any man can endure): but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry (anything drawing you away from Christ)…(1Co 10:12-14 ASV)…

 

…But I say, Walk by the Spirit, and you shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that you may not do the things that you would (without following Christ). But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law…(Gal 5:16-18)…But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror: for he beholds (looks at) himself, and goes away (from the mirror), and straightway forgets what manner of man he was. But he that looks into the perfect law, the (law) of liberty, and so continues, being not a hearer that forgets but a doer that works (the will of Christ), this man shall be blessed in his doing…(Jas 1:22-25 ASV)


…Now the works of the flesh are manifest (made known like the goods on a ships manifest), which are these: fornication (sex between unmarried), uncleanness, lasciviousness (evil lusts), idolatry, sorcery, enmities (hostile), strife (variance to God’s will), jealousies (unholy stinginess), wraths, factions, divisions, parties, envying(s) (wanting others blessings), drunkenness, revellings (drunk parties)…and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God…But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering (patiently enduring), kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness (obedience), self-control; against such there is no law. And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof. If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk. Let us not become vainglorious (self-glory…promoting), provoking one another, envying one another…(Gal 5:19-26 ASV)

 

Pray with me?

Dear Holy Father…please help us to endure the temptations we each face and help us to supply the needs of other Christians…and meet our soul’s deepest needs…our spirit’s deepest needs…and heal our body and other wounds from our sinful past and please show us mercy and bless the faithful with grace, mercy, peace, joy, love, wisdom, understanding, and please reveal the knowledge of the truth to us so we can do what is right by You and Your only Son Jesus Christ…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Jesus Christ is the Judge Who judges according to the truth He has revealed…

Jesus Christ is the Judge Who judges according to the truth He has revealed…

I charge you therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick (living) and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables…Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed; And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (from the lies which would lead you to hell)… All things are delivered unto Me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save (except) the Son, and He to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him. Come unto Me, all ye that labor (work) and are heavy laden (burdened), and I will give you rest. Take my yoke (teaching of truth) upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek (obedient to God) and lowly in heart (humble or approachable): and ye shall find rest unto your souls (freedom from the evil which would drag you away from the truth). For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (2Ti 4:1-4 Joh 8:31-32 Mat 11:27-30)


Do you love the truth revealed from Jesus Christ…It is written we must have a love of the truth to overcome satan and his lies…

For the mystery of iniquity (law without God) does already work: only he who now lets will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders (miracles based on a lie), And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion (a false reality not easily proven false unless you love the truth), that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness… Wherefore let him that thinketh he stands take heed lest he fall. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man (all men have felt or endured the same temptations): but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry… What say I then? that the idol is anything, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is anything? But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that you should have fellowship with devils. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: you cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. (2Th 2:7-12 1Co 10:12-14 1Co 10:19-21)


Prayer for adoption by Jesus in the truth…

Father please show us mercy for we stand condemned as a nation…we renounce any unholy source and all forms of idolatry and satan’s kingdom…please reveal the truth to us so we can change and do what is right by You and Your Holy Son Jesus Christ…please let the United States of America by Your last remnant and save us from Hell…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
