Do you have love for another soul…

Yes or no?

Do you have ears to hear…the truth from God…

 

Now there went with Him great multitudes (many people) and He (Jesus) turned, and said unto them…

…If any man comes unto Me, and hates not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple…(Luke 14:25-26)

(If any soul…does not hate every other soul which does not abide in Jesus…then Jesus will not adopt him as a disciple, by revealing a greater or more important truth for his soul to prosper and grow in Christ.)

Jesus said as it is written…Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal…

(How do you obtain treasure in Heaven?)... for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The lamp of the body (flesh) is the eye (the lust of the eyes needs to be Holy not of the world) if therefore Your eye be single (visioning the Holy treasure), your whole body shall be full of light (Jesus also said…He is the Light of the world…it will be full of Jesus vision for you and your life). But if your eye be evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. (evil consists of three things…the lust of the flesh…what the body craves…the lust of the eyes…coveting and envy wanting what God has given you…and the pride of life…I am better than other people) If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is the darkness! (each religion has some form of godliness to counterfeit the Holy…if those counterfeit blessing are not from the Holy One then you are spreading evil not God’s will)

…No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon (everything not God which most consider the love of money being the root of evil…because money can get most people the lust of the flesh…lust of the eyes…and allows people to assume they are better than the poor) (Mat 6:19-24 ASV)

Question to ask or check your heart…Do you despise having to give money to God when you give to the poor? Or Do you hold to giving to the poor because Jesus is the reason you have money?

 

Question to ask or check your heart…Do you hate to give money to the poor or do you love the opportunity to share what God has given you?

 

As it is written Jesus said…Whosoever does not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:27)

 

…So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounce not all that he has, he cannot be my disciple. (we essentially have nothing but what God has given us…we did not control the parents we were born into either rich or poor…we do not control the circumstances we have been thrown into…who can control his own health or determine his own parents?

…Salt therefore is good: but if even the salt has already lost its savor, wherewith shall it be seasoned? (salt is preservative…an influencer of taste…when you are thrown into troubled waters…do you influence the situation or do you preserve God’s will with the good news of Jesus and or prayer? Or do learn how to walk on the trouble seas like Peter and Jesus...salt which has not saving influence or taste?) It is fit neither for the land nor for the dunghill: men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. (Luk 14:33-35 ASV)

 

Are you the salt for Jesus…can you be His disciple?

Have you been baptized for Jesus…yes or no?

Will you be baptized for Jesus…yes or no?

Will you surrender all by renouncing everyone including your own life and live for Jesus?

 

Prayer

Father who is in Heaven…please save us from the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride in life and possessions or positions in life…and meet our deepest needs…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

 

A Pause for Prayer and Devotion to God…a Wellsaid Christian Devotional about the teachings of Jesus…

You are predetermined or predestined to become a Christian in order to be saved…

 

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places (the current spiritual heaven and the new heaven) in Christ: even as He (God) chose us in Him before the foundation of the world (predetermined by the time period we (you and I) were born in…after the cross or the death burial and resurrection of Jesus from the dead or before the cross), that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love: having foreordained (predetermined those of us after the cross) us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved: in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace (un-earned favor)…and you, being in time past alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works, yet now hath He reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and unreproveable before Him: if so be that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you (all) heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven… Wherefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well-pleasing unto Him. For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he hath done, whether it be good or bad. (we were born after the cross of Jesus meaning after He died and was raised from the dead…therefore if you want to be saved from the sins of the past you must become a Christian…there is no other way to be saved from the evil deeds you and I have done…ben) (Eph 1:3-7 ASV Col 1:21-23 ASV 2Co 5:9-10 ASV)

 

We are all just children in dirty diapers before Jesus the God of gods…


(Jesus)…said, Verily I say unto you, Except you turn (forsake evil), and become as little children, you shall in no wise (no wise way) enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receives Me: but whoso shall cause one of these little ones that believe on Me to stumble, (tempt no believer in Christ) it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depth of the sea. (better off dead than to cause a Christian to error)… Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God… (this is how you become a child of God being born of the water (baptism and then receive the promise of the Holy Spirit)… Now when they (the ones which had a part in Jesus death or knew Jesus was already raised and ascended into heaven) heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do? (to be saved He is no longer here)…And Peter said unto them, Repent you (forsake everything created and surrender to Jesus Christ’s will only), and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and you 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. For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you (all) forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. (some people you have to forgive because they exist like satan) (Mat 18:3-6 ASV Joh 3:5 ASV Act 2:37-39 ASV Mat 6:14-15 ASV)

 

Do you have the witness of the blood (forgiveness from Jesus) water (baptized into Christ Gal 3:27) and the Spirit (faithfully given at baptism as a promise unless rejected)?

 

For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son (the only Human who was Fathered by God so no man could say he was greater), that whosoever believes on Him should (not will not but should obey the teachings of Jesus) not perish, but have eternal life. For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through Him… This is He that came by water (Jesus baptism) and blood (shed His blood on the cross), even Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and the three agree in one… He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieves (acts as if Jesus did not exist or died for them)  shall be condemned (into the lake of fire). And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then the Lord Jesus, after He had spoken unto them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen. (do you need confirmation that Jesus died and rose from the dead? Yes or no?) Mar 16:16-20 ASV Joh 3:16-17 ASV 1Jn 5:6-8 ASV

 

Prayer…

Father please keep us faithful and confirm this truth to us so we can know the truth and be set free from all the false witnesses which pretend to be the Way of Salvation…please provide for all our needs spiritual, physical, and emotional in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Have you obeyed The Only Son of God which became man and died for you so you could made cleansed and right with God our Creator? Yes or no?


And Jesus cried and said, He that believes on Me (obeys), believes not on Me, but on Him that sent Me. And he that beholds Me beholds Him that sent Me. I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believes on me may not abide in the darkness. And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejects Me, and receives not my sayings, hath one that judges him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day...(Joh 12:44-48) If any man comes unto Me, and hates not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Whosoever doth not bear his own cross (burden of obeying Jesus for eternal life), and come after Me, cannot be my disciple...(Luk 14:26-27) 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...(Joh 6:35)


Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed Him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free...(Joh 8:31-32) 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 (The New Agreement between God and Creation called The New Testament of Christ) upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek (obedient) and lowly (humble) in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light...(Mat 11:27-30)



Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently: having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and abides. For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls: But the word of the Lord abides for ever. And this is the word of good tidings which was preached unto you...(1Pe 1:22-25) Whosoever goes onward and abides not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God: he that abides in the teaching (lives obedient to Jesus teachings), the same hath both the Father and the Son. If any one comes unto you, and brings not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and give him no greeting: for he that gives him greeting partakes in his evil works. (2Jn 1:9-11)


And when the day of Pentecost was now come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them tongues parting asunder, like as of fire; and it sat upon each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance...(Act 2:1-4) 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...(Act 2:38-39) And we have the word of prophecy made more sure; where unto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts: knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation (not man's opinion nor from the mind of a man) For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit...(2Pe 1:19-21)


And afterward He was manifested unto the eleven themselves as they sat at meat; and he upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them that had seen him after he was risen...(from the dead after being crucified) And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieves (does not obey) shall be condemned. And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken unto them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen. (Mar 16:14-20)


Will you be baptized for the forgiveness or remission of your sins? Yes or no?


Have you been baptized to obey Jesus for salvation? Yes or no?



Pray with me...?


Father please meet our souls deepest needs so we can become Holy like You and Your only Human Fathered Son Jesus...please keep us and reveal the truth to us so we too can become right with You...In Jesus of Nazareth's name amen.
