God will reveal the truth so you can be more like Him…learn your lessons well…The Creator disciplines us…to be more like Him…

Trust in Jehovah with all your heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding: In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will direct your paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes; Fear Jehovah, and depart from evil: It will be health to your navel, And marrow to your bones. Honor Jehovah with your substance, And with the first-fruits of all your increase: So shall your barns be filled with plenty, And your vats shall overflow with new wine. My son, despise not the chastening (correction) of Jehovah; Neither be weary of His reproof: For whom Jehovah loves he reproves; Even as a father the son in whom he delights...Proverbs 3:5-12.

 

God disciplines us…and scourges (whips us)…to be more like Him.

and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with sons, My son, regard not lightly the chastening of the Lord, Nor faint when you art reproved of Him; For whom the Lord loves he chastens (corrects), And scourges (whips) every son whom He receives. It is for chastening that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father chastens not? But if you are without chastening (instruction and correction), whereof all have been made partakers, then are you bastards, and not sons. Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live...Hebrews 12:5-9?

God is the Great I am of all that Is…He is the I am of all that is. If you are experiencing trouble then you better learn your lesson quickly. Look at everyday as a lesson from God to make or improve you to be more like Him in morals…character…and faith or done it before I have the power (authority) to do it again. He is always the example for us to be like and we will never be able to correct God but instead stand in need of constant instruction and discipline and correction. We need to have a what would Jesus do for all that we do and say…when is the last time you asked the Lord what would you do if you were me?

 

Jesus promises us…

Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed Him, If you abide in my word, then are you truly my disciples; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free…for the truth's sake which abides in us, and it shall be with us forever...John 8:31-32...2 John 1:2.


Christians are not left ignorant of the truth but many will not practice the truth or want the Lord to do it for them not with them and many do practice the truth revealed. So when things are not going well…trust in the Lord and be better nor bitter. It is easy to complain and murmur but instead trust and ask what would Jesus do?

 

Prayer

Father please help us learn our lessons well so we are fit for Heaven our home…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Jesus will set you free...

The truth will set you free…

 

Promise divine which never can fail…

 

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed; And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free...John 8:31-32

The truth will set you free from the lie you do not need Jesus, that stealing is not sin, that bearing false witness is not sin, that coveting is not sin, that adultery is not sin, that not honoring your dad or mom is not sin, that murder is not sin, that blaspheming is not sin, or idolatry is not sin…that you do not need Jesus…to have other gods…that not loving your neighbor is not a sin.

 

Jesus is the Truth which sets us free from evil…

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me...John 14:6.

Jesus died on the cross and was raised from the dead so you and I could be free to practice all the good God intended us to fulfill our plan and purpose. You do not have to lie…steal…murder…covet…commit adultery…blaspheme…ignore your mom and dad’s needs…commit idolatry…have other sources (gods)…you can live your life and love your neighbor as yourself and be blessed for it. You do not have to out scheme your neighbor you can be free to love your neighbor because Jesus died and was raised from the dead.

 

Jesus died and was raised so Christians are free to love God and our neighbor…

Owe no man anything, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law...Romans 13:8-10.

 

Have you fulfilled the Law by loving God and your neighbor as yourself…yes or no?

 

Prayer

Father please forgive us for not loving You or our neighbors as ourselves and help us to begin to love…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Hear the Gospel of Christ...the good news of Christ

A Good News devotional of just scripture…Quotes from the New Testament of Jesus Christ…as it is written…

 

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith… But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him… For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Rom 1:16-17 Heb 11:6 Rom 10:13-17)

 

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures… For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved… Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing he ever lives to make intercession for them… Though He were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which He suffered; And being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him (1Co 15:1-4 Joh 3:16-17 Heb 7:25 Heb 5:8-9)

 

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. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind blows where it lists, and thou hear the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit… I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins… Afterward He (Jesus) appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen Him after he was risen. And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, He was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. (Joh 8:24 Joh 3:5-8 Mar 16:14-20)

 

Father please show us mercy and cover the faithful with grace, mercy, peace, joy, love, and virtue…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
