Exercise daily…walk with the Lord…

Exercise daily…walk with the Lord…

Whom or who do you walk with the darkness or the Light?

If we say that we have fellowship with Him (God) and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us…He that saith he is in the light and hates his brother, is in the darkness even until now. He that loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him. But he that hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and knows not whither he goes, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes…Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vainglory (pride) of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will of God abides forever…Who is the liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, even he that denies the Father and the Son. Whosoever denies the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that confesses the Son hath the Father also.

(1Jn 1:6-10 ASV 1Jn 2:9-11 ASV 1Jn 2:15-17 ASV 1Jn 2:22-23 ASV)

Do not be an Anti-Christ or follow an Anti-Christ…

My little children, let no man lead you astray: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous: he that does sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. To this end was the Son of God manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil…Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: and every spirit that confesses not Jesus is not of God: and this is the spirit of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it comes; and now it is in the world already. Ye are of God, my little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world…And this is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us: and if we know that he hears us whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.

(1Jn 3:7-8 ASV 1Jn 4:1-4 ASV 1Jn 5:14-15 ASV)

Pray with me…

Father please save us from the lust of the flesh…lust of the eyes…and the pride of life…please create and fulfil our soul’s deepest needs that we may prosper as our soul prospers and heal our sin scars…

in Jesus Christ of Nazareth’s name amen.

A family that prays together…stays together…

Family roles in Christ…

Wives, be in subjection unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord…

(Wives the decision for a Christian family is left up to the man…pray God will be done through him and if he an unbeliever then set the proper example…and trust God will be done…)

…wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, even if any obey not the word, they may without the word be gained by the behavior of their wives; beholding your chaste (sincere or honest) behavior coupled with fear…to the end that your prayers be not hindered. (1Pe 3:1-7 ASV)

(In case the man is a hypocrite or an unbeliever…never trust him with your salvation…best you can do is pray and set a good example…you cannot keep him from choosing evil or sin…but you can influence him for Jesus by setting a proper example and praying for him and your children…you and I are not qualified to save him only Jesus the Christ is qualified to redeem him and you…so trust in Christ not your husband at all times.)

…For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, being himself the savior of the body. But as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their husbands in everything…

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church…

…and gave Himself up for it; that He might sanctify it (be willing to protect her from physical death so she can lead your children to heaven even if you die physically), having cleansed it (the people in the church family) by the washing of water with the word (reading the word of God or hearing the Word), that He might present the church to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish (teach your wife the truth in the New Testament and help her be spotless before God through example and teaching God’s word) Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loves his own wife loves himself (love Jesus more than any but love your wife as the most important on earth and Jesus the most important period): for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as Christ also the church; because we are members of His body…(the church of Christ Romans 16:16)

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh. This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church…

…Nevertheless do you also severally love each one his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she fear her husband. (Eph 5:22-33 ASV)… (Husbands love your wives and wives respect your husbands…you are not qualified to pay her sins or to free her from hell only Jesus is…so set the proper example with prayer and deeds obeying Jesus first her will second…as yourself if you were in her shoes)

…Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right…

…Honor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with promise), that it may be well with thee, and you mayest live long on the earth. And, you fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but nurture them in the chastening (discipline) and admonition (encouragement) of the Lord. (Eph 6:1-4 ASV) (children obey Jesus first…then mom and dad second if there is a conflict…just as mom and dad are supposed to obey Jesus first)

Prayer for families…

Father who is heaven please heal our families and cancel all evil within each family…please meet our souls deepest needs and instruct us with the truth…help us set an good example and have the trust in our prayer to You for salvation and the right ways of Your only Fathered Son Jesus Christ…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen (Acts 20:7-8).

Who told the first lie...

Satan, tells the first lie recorded: when he deceives and tempts man and woman in the garden of Eden, on earth. Do you like to hear a lie? I know I don’t because you can never trust them. Satan told the first lie, 1/3 of the angels decided to participate in the lie by following satan. They were cast out of Heaven being punished for participating in the lie. When was the last time you had to choose sides over a lie you heard for the first time? Satan told the first lie, and angels rebelled with him, instead of abiding in the truth. God Almighty, cast them all out of Heaven.

Jesus then being the Author of salvation (Heb 5:9), offered up a plan to reconcile the family unit, God the Father of Mercies, said Let us make man in our image. In the beginning, God had already planned for the reconciliation of God and Creation through the Mediator of a New Agreement called the New Testament of Jesus Christ. God, who calls Himself: Jesus of Nazareth (Acts 22:7-8). Jesus being the Author of Salvation, became a man child and was born of a virgin, named Mary. Our Creator supplied the man part of the equation, through a miracle of the Holy Spirit. Mary, the virgin supplied then the rest of the DNA according to the Law of Child bearing, or the human egg. For in the beginning, He made them male and female. Jesus was born under the Law of the knowledge of good and evil taught to us by Jewish nation Israel, the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jesus was born a Jew and never violated the Old Testament Laws and Ordinances. Jesus never violated the intentions of the Law nor the Letter of the Law, but was the perfection of God in Human Form. The very words and intentions of God, made known and walking around in the flesh. Jesus remained perfect and sinless and was a Jew, under the Jewish Law.

The Old Testament, or old agreement between God and mankind, made one Holy if obeyed perfectly. Jesus, being the only Fathered of our Creator, was made perfect and did not see corruption, and remained sinless. Jesus was the only flesh, who met the Holy Standard of God’s Perfection. Jesus, being the Author of Salvation remain sinless and offered to lay down His life, as a substitute for our punishment as a sinner, and being scourged and nailed to a cross called a tree, died as a ransom for all who have done a wrong thing or sinned, as the Bible calls it. He was resurrected three days later, then later ascended into Heaven where He reigns.

Jesus died to make a way, to never choose to do a wrong thing, or do evil. Jesus makes a way for all the bad things we done to be forgiven and reconciled to our Creator. Jesus died and was raised from the dead three days later, to prove He can offer you eternal life and peace with God. Do you want to go to the good place when you die? It is called Heaven and if you never decide to go to heaven, then how will you make it? Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people, you do not accidently end up in Heaven.

Jesus of Nazareth said, Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Jesus said: satan is the father of lies, therefore he told the first lie. Satan does not abide in truth but relies on his own conclusions, deductions, and imagination. He believes his own lies and has power to deceive others. Jesus, in contrast, Is the Truth and will never lie to you. Jesus said, Joh 8:31-32, Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, if ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; (32) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Do you want to be free from the lies told to you about eternal life after death? Do you want to go to heaven and be saved from evil and torment? Jesus of Nazareth, died on a cross called a tree and was buried dead, and then resurrected on the third day, to prove He has power over life and death and satan. Jesus of Nazareth is the God of gods, and the King of kings, and the Lord of lords. Jesus died for you to show there is nothing a Holy God would not do to reconcile you to Himself, if you abide in the Truth. Wouldn’t life be great if we never heard a lie? Jesus only expects you to walk in truth and spirit, Jesus will never ask you to do a wrong thing, and it is written in Joh 6:35: And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. If you turn from doing wrong things and turn to Jesus, then He will show you how to be right with your neighbors and with your Creator. Have you ever asked the author of Salvation to write you a plan of redemption, reconciliation, and salvation? Yes or No? Do you know you have a plan and purpose?

Do you believe in Jesus of Nazareth? Yes or No.

Jesus of Nazareth will never ask you to do a wrong thing and made a way so you can practice the truth and be right with God and your fellow man. Jesus says, whoever hungers and thirst after being right, will be filled. If you want to know how to live your life, right then Jesus of Nazareth will lead you in the truth and the truth will set you free from the ignorance and lies found in the world. Will you read the New Testament of Jesus Christ? Jesus said, as it is written in Mat 11:28-30, Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (29) Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. (30) For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Do you want a light and easy yoke and rest for your soul? Will you agree to learn about Jesus and take His yoke? So, you can find rest for your soul? Yes or No.

Jesus of Nazareth said, He that believes and is baptized will be saved but he that does not believe (he died so we do not have to choose evil or do a wrong thing), will be damned. Mark 16:16

Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Will you be baptized into Christ? Yes or No?

Do you still believe in your baptism? Yes or no.

Father please remove anything hindering us from obeying the truth so we can learn to be right with you and others, please meet our soul’s deepest needs, in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
