We are all just children in diapers before God…

In that hour came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And He called to Him a little child, and set him in the midst of them, and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise 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…Matthew 18:1-4.

 

Which one of us can look at God and say why have you made me this way…we all must be like the child and say teach me better…I am but in diapers before You the Almighty please reveal the truth to me so I can learn to be like You…Daddy…Abba.

 

If you adopt (receive) a Child for Jesus then you receive Jesus…

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, 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...(to die rather than to tempt a believer) Matthew 18:5-6. Wherefore let him that thinketh he stands take heed lest he fall. There hath no temptation taken you but such as man (any in mankind) can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it. Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry...1 Corinthians 10:12-14.

 

Will you receive your own kids in your household in Jesus name by teaching them the truth about Jesus being the only way of salvation…yes or no?

You cannot be the tempter teaching children (believers) to sin or make them fall and please God…it betrays innocent and causes you to shed “innocent blood”. Any believer which falls…it causes Jesus to bleed more for them because they fell…or perhaps they never return from the false teaching or perhaps they will learn the truth and be saved. Whosoever goes onward and abides (lives it out) not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God: he that abides (lives) in the teaching, the same hath both the Father and the Son...2 John 1:9.

 

Having Jesus means you will have the necessities of life…

Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst...John 6:35. But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? For after all these things do the Gentiles (unbelievers) seek; for your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first His kingdom, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Be not therefore anxious (worried) for the morrow (future): for the morrow (future day) will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof...Matthew 6:30-34.

 

If you change your now then you change your future…get the first things right and the big things you worry with will work out…obey Jesus in the little things called the truth and He will handle the big things. Do you want to go to heaven and have Jesus as the Good Shepherd looking after your soul…yes or no?

 

Jesus can create you whatever you may need…

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Same was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him; and without Him was not anything made that hath been made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended (comprehended) it not...John 1:1-5. All things have been delivered unto Me of my Father: and no one knows the Son, save the Father; neither doth 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 (Teaching of the truth which sets you free from evil) 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 (truth) is easy, and my burden is light...Matthew 11:27-30. For it became Him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the Author of their salvation perfect through sufferings…Hebrews 2:10.

 

Jesus suffered the scourging, the death of the cross and was raised from the dead in order to be The Author of Salvation. Have you asked the Good Shepherd of souls to Author you a plan of redemption, reconciliation with God and a plan of salvation…yes or no?

 

Prayer

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.

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).
