- We are but children in diapers before Almighty God…
We are but children in diapers before Almighty 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. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receives Me: but whosoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble (sin), 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...Matthew 18:1-6. These are Jesus Apostles today, which He told unless you become like a little child you cannot enter into the kingdom of Heaven. We have to depend on God…and really compared to God we are but infants in diapers with out behavior stinking to high heaven. A Child had needs he does not know about…a child is easily lead astray…we have to remember the devil is a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. God resists the proud but give favor to the humble. The devil will counterfeit God and try to mislead you. We have to be careful and have a thus it is written vocabulary. When is the last time you ran down the Ten Commandments to see if you measure up? 1. Thou shalt have no other gods before Me…Exodus 20:3 2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image…Exodus 20:4 3. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain…Exodus 20:7 4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy (morally clean and ready to worship in Spirit and Truth) Exodus 20:8 5. Honor thy father and thy mother…Exodus 20:12 6. Thou shalt not kill…Exodus 20:13 7. Thou shalt not commit adultery…Exodus 20:14 8. Thou shalt not steal…Exodus 20:15 9. Thou shalt not bear false witness…Exodus 20:16 10.

- Blessed are the poor in spirit
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven...Matthew 5:3. Blessed are you when you say I cannot do it without you God for yours is the kingdom of Heaven…Jesus is said to be humble and obedient to the Father’s will. He is our example to follow. He humbled Himself as a Human and died on the cross and was raised from the dead in order that we may choose no evil or wrong deed. Jesus died to free us and our decisions from this evil world. Do you depend on God…everyday all day long or just sometimes? Are we not all just beggars begging God for salvation and grace to sustain us one day at a time? Jesus 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 18:3-4. The poor in spirit says daddy I cannot unless we do it together…or daddy can I…daddy will you…daddy look what they done to me. How can an adult depend on God like a child…Jesus said unless we are converted like a child we cannot enter the kingdom of God…we have to learn dependence on God as a child does his parents. Perhaps we should have we (me and God) attitude instead of a me can do it attitude. A what are Jesus and I going to do today attitude. It is written God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble…do you want God’s favor in your life then we must learn to be humble and depend on God like a child does his parents and when we are fully converted like a child depending on God for everything in our lives…then the kingdom of heaven is ours to share with its King Jesus. Can you live your life without Jesus…yes or no? Jesus said you will hold on to Him and despise the world or you will love Him and hate the world. Which do you do…hold on to Jesus and despise having to live in the world with its lusts that tempts us or do you love (obey) God and hate the world for having temptations? Prayer Father please help us fully be converted like a child and may we continue to depend on You for our very existence please meet our soul’s deepest needs so we may prosper and be in health as our soul prospers…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

- But wisdom is justified of all her children...Luke 7:35.
But wisdom is justified of all her children...Luke 7:35. And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him...Luke 2:40. O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been His counsellor? Or who hath first given to Him, and it shall be recompensed unto Him again? For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen...Romans 11:33-36. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction...Proverbs 1:7. So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou cry after knowledge, and lift up thy voice for understanding; If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt you understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God...Proverbs 2:2-5. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding...Proverbs 9:9-10. There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD...Proverbs 21:30. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraids not; and it shall be given him...James 1:5. Wisdom and understanding only come from the Lord who creates both and gives liberally to those who are faithful with them. How does a person become wise without the knowledge that God exists? How can a person understand the Holy with knowing there is a God who gives and understands the man or woman He has made and is calling on Him? Prayer Please give us sound wisdom and understanding so we may learn the knowledge needed to be saved and faithful in order to live with You forever…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

When God ordains He sustains… Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus...Philippians 2:4-5. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you...James 4:7. …The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these...Mark 12:29-31. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit Himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because He maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified...Romans 8:26-30. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit...Ephesians 5:18. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God...Romans 12:2. Those of us who have been baptized into Christ have the Holy Spirit who prays for us with groanings which cannot be heard. Praying the will of God in our lives. Praying we have the mind of Christ and we serve others and stay faithful. We are to look on the things of others and be filled with the Spirit. May God help us discern His will from the world so we can be faithful.

- It is always right to do right and wrong to do wrong…
It is always right to do right and wrong to do wrong… And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted Him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He (Jesus) said unto him, What is written in the law? how do you read? And he answering said, You will love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself. And He (Jesus) said unto him, You have answered right: this do, and you shalt live...Luke 10:25-28. And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God...Romans 12:2. Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable (not seeking to be cleansed), and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate (without faith)...Titus 1:15-16. When asked how to get to heaven or eternal life…Jesus asked how he understands or reads the written word of God and the response was to love God with all of your heart, mind, soul, and strength and your neighbor as yourself. The whole time the lawyer was trying to get Jesus to slip up and teach a false doctrine…talk about hypocrisy. Do we really treat people the way we want to be treated…yes or no? Do we forgive no matter how many times we been done wrong…do we instruct others who will turn from their wickedness… Jesus said not to cast your pearls before swine unless they turn on you and hurt (rend) you. Some people will never forsake their evil ways like the thief loves stealing…or the porn they will not forsake…or the lies they will not tell the truth about…etc. We have to change and obey God rather than men if you want to be saved. Jesus said to forgive your brother if he comes to you and says he repents. How many never repent and ask for forgiveness when they are found out…thus not loving God with all their heart? I know addiction is hard to quit…and some have fallen of the boat so many times they need a to always wear a life jacket on the shore. We have a promise… For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind...2 Timothy 1:7. We can overcome when we love God with all our strength and mind…it is always right to do right and wrong to do wrong. Prayer Father please meet our souls deepest needs for a sound mind and to know the mind of Christ so we can always know the right thing to do by our neighbors…please reveal the truth to us so we can behave properly…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

- Continue walking with and in Christ…
Continue walking with and in Christ… As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and builded up in Him, and established in your faith, even as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. Take heed lest there shall be any one that maketh spoil of you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ: for in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily...Colossians 2:6-9…and through Him to reconcile all things unto Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens. And you, being in time past alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works, yet now has 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 ye continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven…Colossians 1:20-23. in whom you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ; having been buried with Him in baptism, wherein you were also raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead...Colossians 2:11-12 You have heard the good news of Jesus the Christ dying on the cross and being raised from the dead. You have been walking according to the royal law of loving your neighbor as yourself. You have been baptized and buried with Jesus in order to be raised unto eternal life with God. So Continue walking with Jesus and learn and practice the truth. Jesus said the truth will set us free and he that believes and is baptized shall be saved. So do not lose your faith or your walking in faith with Jesus but continue to grow and learn the truth. Prayer Father please meet our need for the truth and heal us of our infirmities. Deliver us from the kingdom of darkness and keep us in the light of Your kingdom and please meet our soul’s deepest needs so we may prosper in the truth and Your kingdom to which there is no end…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Never give the devil a ride he will always want to drive…repent and ride with Jesus. Be zealous therefore resist the devil in repentance and confess and repent… Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you doubleminded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall exalt you...James 4:7-10. Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed. The supplication of a righteous man avails much in its working...James 5:16. And the Lord's servant must not strive, but be gentle towards all, apt (able) to teach, forbearing, in meekness (obedience) correcting (instructing) them that oppose themselves; if peradventure (perhaps) God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth, and they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him unto his will...2 Timothy 2:24-26. Have we forgot there is a spiritual war in our lives… There is a real devil trying to defeat us through principles and powers unseen. We must renounce satan and his principles and be zealous for the ways of Christ our Lord. Love of the Lord is the answer to hatred…forgiveness is the answer to faults…how simple is it to love your neighbor as yourself? You taken in bad habits…renounce it by confessing it and seek the Lord Jesus answers. Let Jesus be your only supply and source of truth and strength to overcome. Never give satan and inch he will always want to be the ruler… Have you the Lord Jesus on your side who died on the cross and was raised from the dead? Do you believe He died and was raised from the dead and have you been baptized into Christ to have access to His benefits although He blesses even His enemies…yes or no?

- Things you lose when you follow Christ teaching…
Things you lose when you follow Christ teaching… but now do you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth: lie not one to another; seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings, and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of Him that created Him...Colossians 3:8-10. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and railing, be put away from you, with all malice: and be you kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you...Ephesians 4:31-32. Howbeit if ye fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well...James 2:8. When we truly love our neighbors as ourselves we begin to change the way we behave. When we truly look to do what is best for someone then we cannot be acting in malice or ill will but are seeking what is best for their soul. We do not want wrath for the things in which we done so we show forgiveness as Jesus teaches us to forgive in order to be forgiven.

- Contentment is wanting what you have…
Contentment is wanting what you have… You shall not covet…more than you have been given. Do you covet more than God has given you? or are you content? I know sometimes I want it all and a box of chocolates…but am grateful I have food, clothing, shelter and a job to help me sustain. Is it hard to see everything you have coming from God…and to want no more than what He has given? Jesus promises enough not a mansion in Malibu. Listen to what Jesus said… But if God doth so clothes 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 you 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 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 for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof...Matthew 6:30-34. So seek God’s will and not your own…seek God above all things today and tomorrow if the Lord does not come back today. If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth. For you died, and your life is hid with Christ in God...Colossians 3:1-3. Are you seeking wisdom…understanding…peace…reconciliation? Yes or no? We are told to go make it right with man so we can be right with God…listen… If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that thy brother hath aught (reason to accuse you of offense) against you, leave there your gift before the altar, and go your way, first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift...Matthew 5:23-24. Are you at peace and reconciled with your brothers and sisters? Yes or no? Perhaps you were the one offended or done wrong… Put on therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye: and above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness...Colossians 3:12-14.

Warning not to be lead astray by false teachers and Christians… 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 you the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God...1 John 4:1-2. But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall privily bring in destructive heresies (teachings), denying even the Master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their lascivious (bad lusts) doings; by reason of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of...2 Peter 2:1-2. Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by Your name, and by Your name cast out demons, and by Your name do many mighty works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, you that work iniquity (Your own will…lawlessness)...Matthew 7:21-23. How do you determine truth from error…when Jesus said the truth will set you free… You must read and study the Bible to obtain and retain the truth of what is written. We must have a it is written vocabulary and knowledge base from the New Testament of Christ. The New Testament of Christ is the New Agreement in effect today with our Creator brought to us by Jesus Christ dying and being raised from the dead. Jesus teaching is the Law by which we will be Judged on the Final Day of Judgement. We can check the words of those who teach us with Holy Bible to see if it is written and is therefore true. Prayer Father please help us not to be lead astray by false teachers but to know the truth and be free to practice the truth.

The worse part about hearing a lie is you now cannot trust them to tell the truth… Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them...Matthew 7:15-20. Do people around you practice the truth…yes or no…Do they practice Jesus teaching…yes or no? If they tell a lie then you cannot trust them with the truth unless they acknowledge the lie. Not everyone that acknowledges Jesus…practice Jesus’s teachings of truth… Not everyone that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by Your name, and by Your name cast out demons, and by Your name do many mighty works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, you that work iniquity (who do your own will and call it Mine)...Matthew 7:21-23. Some people just paint it Jesus and will be rejected because they do not follow Jesus from the heart but put on a show to seem Christian about it.

- Pornography…want to see…what Jesus said about porn…
Jesus Christ said… You have heard that it was said, You shalt not commit adultery: but I say unto you, that every one that looks on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. And if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not your whole body be cast into hell. And if thy right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not your whole body go into hell...Matthew 5:27-30. Jesus said to look at porn is the same thing as committing adultery…breaking one of the commandments of God...you shall not commit adultery. The Lust of the flesh…we have a promise that we can overcome our flesh’s desire…You 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...1 John 4:4. Have you surrendered your flesh’s desire to Jesus and the Holy Spirit…yes or no? Will you give it to God…yes or no? Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves 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 of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abides forever...1 John 2:15-17. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, He that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through His Spirit that dwelleth in you. So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh: for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God...Romans 8:11-14. We can overcome the porn we see advertised…and sometimes look for. We must pray and surrender to God our desires and He will supply our needs needing to be met for us to live a life pleasing to Him. Prayer Father please quench our desire for porn and masturbation and supply our flesh’s needs so we can not commit adultery with images of porn…heal our bodies and minds from the sin of our pasts…and meet our soul’s deepest needs…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
