There are promises for the faithful to Jesus…we never hunger or thirst…

Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall not hunger, and he that believes on me shall never thirst...John 6:35.


We know the truth which sets us free from a lie…

First things first...Do you major in the majors of God...

Do you major in the major things of God…? Try…A…Pause for Prayer and Devotional a Wellsaid Christian Devotional about the teachings of Jesus…

 

First things first…have you done the most important…obedience to God’s word…

Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, (lip service) shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied (told the truth of your word) in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity (work apart from God)...Matthew 7:21-23.

 

Building a congregation will not get you into heaven…doing many wonderful works like building church buildings will not get you into Heaven…preaching a sermon will not get you into Heaven… getting rid of devils will not get you into Heaven…UNLESS it is the will of the Father…Unless you are “In Christ” working with Him and allowing Him to work through you…Have you done the first things first…listen to what Jesus told a Jew named Nicodemus… 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...John 3:5-7.

 

Have you been born of the water and the Spirit like Jesus told this man…yes or no?

Jesus said…He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believes not shall be damned...Mark 16:16. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that does evil hate the light (does not want to do it Jesus’ way but the way they think is better) neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest (made known either good or evil), that they are wrought (sanctified…established or nullified) in God...John 3:19-21.

 

People do not want to admit or confess they have been wrong…so do not come to Jesus…

Jesus said people hate the light because it means they must admit they do not understand good or evil but will have to accept Jesus’ judgement of their deeds…as if they have never really obeyed or done God’s will…but their own will and called it God’s will. Have they done what they thought God wanted or perhaps have done that which they thought was evil or done their own moral compass. They will have to admit their ways lead to hopeless end…are not God’s ways…their morals are not God’s morals. In other words…every “good” or bad thing I have ever done…when I came to God, I surrendered all of it to Jesus will. Many of my deeds were reprovable and some I had to do no more…I had to confess I was wrong and learn to do better or God’s way.

 

Have you been baptized into Christ…yes or no?

If not, then how you know there is no difference than before and after baptism…either way at least you have done what Jesus said about being born of the water and the Spirit. Many do not believe you have to be born of the water and the Spirit in baptism…many will be lost. I felt peace with God and creation…it felt good knowing I was at peace with the Creator for once in my life…hope you to will know peace with God one day.

 

Prayer

Father please continue to convert me and reprove my works, so that I am In You and You in me…please I have been baptized. Please be in me…on me…and work through me… that we may have a relationship…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.





Love God first your nieghbor second...

Loving Jesus and your neighbor…


In Mark 12:29-31, Jesus said, The First of all commandments is Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord and you will love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all of your soul, and with all your mind, and with all of your strength, this is the first commandment. The second is like, namely this you shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.


Gal 5:14, for all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this, you shall love your neighbor as yourself.


James 2:8, if you fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, you shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well.


So then the most import command is to love God then to love your neighbor. However, is God not your neighbor? Is He not near every one of us every second of the day? So, love God as yourself and all those you come in contact with as well. If you were God and then the relationship changed, then would you be happy with your behavior? Then there is that old question that Jesus answered in the parable of the good Samaritan, who is my neighbor? It is whomever you are in contact with and are able to help. Your enemy could be your neighbor, your ex-husband could be your neighbor, your brother could be your neighbor, your neighbor could be your neighbor, etc. So, treat God as good as you would yourself, if you were God, and the way some people act they think they are God. Would you grumble and complain about keeping your laws and statues? Just food for thought…


Father, we offer you all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength, in Jesus of Nazareth’s name, we pray Amen.
