You cannot have religion without God’s word…

You cannot have religion without God’s word…how will you relate to God without the Holy Bible?

But what think ye? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to-day in the vineyard. And he answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented himself, and went. And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. Which of the two did the will of his father? They say, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. For John (the Baptist) came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye saw it, did not even repent yourselves afterward, that ye might believe him...Matthew 21:28-32


The religion authorities did not believe John the Baptist and many of the leaders were in need of change. Even today many religious leaders teach false ideas…for example many teach you do not have to be baptized…but Jesus said He that believes and is baptized will be saved…have you been baptized…yes or no? Are you faithfully obeying Jesus teaching to reflect your baptism into Jesus’ death burial and resurrection…yes or no? Will you be baptized for the remission of your sins and receive the Holy Spirit of promise…yes or no?


And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him...Acts 2:38-39


Prayer

Father please help live worthy of the calling you put on our lives by being obedient to Your Only Son’s teachings…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

How many times do you forgave someone who asks…

How many times do you forgave someone who asks…

Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven...Matthew 18:21-22

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on charity (love), which is the bond of perfectness...Colossians 3:12-14.

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God...Matthew 5:7-9.

 

How can a person live with no forgiveness in their life…this is a sin that will send you to hell…not forgiving others. I have to be forgiven by God and continuously cleansed…how then can I refuse someone who asks me to forgive them? I do not want Jesus to call me unmerciful on the day of Judgement, do you? How many people will not seek reconciliation and forgiveness…how many people on the Day of Judgement will be held in account for not asking others to forgive them…I imagine everyone which wears the name of Christian asks God…but how many quarrels in church will be quenched if we went to others and let them know we need their forgiveness too…?

 

Jesus told Peter to forgive 70 x 7… to a brother which asks for forgiveness this many times. You ever had a guy lie to you every day…and you forgive him every day. Imagine Jesus hearing everyone in prayer telling Him what they are going to do but never doing it. We expect Jesus to forgive us when we fall short of fulfilling our word…will you forgive others for not fulfilling their word…yes or no? Perhaps they have a short memory and cannot remember what they had said…perhaps circumstances changed and they can no longer supply the fruit of their words…Jesus said forgive them each time they asked. This is one thing I can say…I have never denied forgiveness to anyone who asked and I hope you can say the same. Perhaps we should say I got no limits for forgiveness but limit your presence in my life to some people who refuse to change.

 

I fear Jesus judgement so when I ask Jesus for forgiveness, I expect to be forgiven…so I have always forgiven those which asked me…will or do you do the same…yes or no? Jesus said blessed are the merciful for they shall receive mercy. In fact in difficult sins or trauma I started telling myself I forgave them because it puts the act in the past…buried and forgaven. I used to say forgive every time you remember the trauma until you remember it no more…but now I say forgave the trauma every time you remember the trauma or the act. Have you offered forgaveness to those you did you wrong…when you “forgave” you find healing.

 

If I have ever offended you then will you forgave me…and Jesus heal us both and make us whole…yes or no?

 

Prayer

Father please have mercy for we deserve none…we have all sinned and come short of Your perfection of Glory…create in us a heart willing to forgive so we can be healed of those which hurt us…by forgiving the trauma done…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Are you a child of God…

Are you a child of God…

At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto Him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

…Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receives Me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in Me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea...Matthew 18:1-6.

 

When asked who is the greatest in the Kingdom of God…Jesus side stepped the answer and said unless you are converted and become as little children you will not even enter in. The Greatest is of course the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit…you and I can never be greater than God. Therefore we must become His Children asking daddy can I…daddy will you…daddy forgive me…daddy I hurt…etc.

 

We must learn to depend on God for everything just like a child does their parents. In the model prayer by Jesus…we are taught to say Your will done to the Father…why is He called the Father if He does not want us to consider being His child. We have to become fully converted like a child dependent on His Father…then we can grow into God’s plan for our lives. We truly cannot do things of our own but learn how God will do it with us. We need to develop a walk with God and learn how not to offend others. If we cause a Christian to fall then it is better to die than to place a Christian in circumstance of losing his faith. Jesus said it is better to die than to cause a Christian to fall.

 

Jesus also said whoever receives one of these children in His name will receive Him…Jesus said if receive a child in Jesus name then you will have Jesus. Will you agree to teach your children Jesus and receive them in His name…yes or no? How many children today are not being taught Jesus by their own parents? How many think a trip to church is all which is needed? I agree church is important but do you teach Jesus outside of church? I heard this is the first time in America’s history where about half of the population are non-religious…we have not been teaching our children Jesus. They have not taught their children…we need a major awakening and a turning to God…a revival here in America…a come to Jesus movement.

 

Have you been baptized…yes or no? Do you believe Jesus died and was raised from the dead…yes or no? Will you be baptized...yes or no? Jesus said He that believes and is baptized will be saved…Mark 16:16

 

Prayer

Father please meet our soul’s deepest needs for forgiveness and reconciliation…and help us be fully converted or adopted by You…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
