Exhortations from 2 Timothy…

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. …nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto ?Him against that day. It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with Him, we shall also live with Him: If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him: if we deny Him, He also will deny us: If we believe not, yet He abides faithful: He cannot deny Himself. (2 Timothy 1:7, 2 Timothy 1:12, 2 Timothy 2:11-13).

 

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure (perhaps) will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works (2 Timothy 2:15, 2 Timothy 2:24-26, 2 Timothy 3:16-17).

 

I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick 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...2 Timothy 4:1-4.

 

Prayer

Please open our eyes and hearts so we may see the truth and be converted and give us ears to hear the truth and meet our soul’s deepest needs…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

The Kingdom of God comes not with observation…but by doing the will of God from the heart.

…And He said unto them, You are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knows your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presses into it. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail...Luke 16:15-17.


And when He was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, He answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you...Luke 17:20-21.

 

Jesus said He would come quickly…as quickly as possible. Are we shortening the time by knocking out the prophecy in Revelation…Have you ever read the book of Revelation as a to do list. Jesus said the Kingdom of God comes not by observing but within us meaning we have to fulfill what is written from the heart and  a prophecy not fulfilled is the book of Revelation. Look at the messages to the seven churches as it applies to you then accomplish what the warnings are made to prevent from happening or to do what is needed to fulfill the prophecy.

 

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches...Revelation 3:22.

 

There are many exhortations to the different scenarios Jesus warned the churches about…which ones apply to you that hath an ear?

 

Prayer

Father please reveal to us the truth we need to change and practice the warnings found in Revelation and meet our souls’ deepest needs to perform them…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

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.
