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. To love when hated to forgive when wronged…are you loving your neighbor as yourself and forgiving as Christ forgave you…yes or no? Prayer Father please remove all the bad in life and help us love our neighbors as our own selves…please meet our soul’s deepest need and heal us from our pasts…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

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.   Prayer Father please grant us repentance wherever needed and help us to be right with our fellow man and You…please meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal our past mistakes…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.   Try…A…Pause for Prayer and Devotional a Wellsaid Christian Devotional about the teachings of Jesus…   https://www.anopenbiblestudy.com/blog-by-ben-the-friend     #benjaminbrianstewart #Love #Christianity #Faith #Bible #Jesus #Prayer #Art #ChristianLife #Gospel #ChristianInspiration #Salvation #ChristianCommunity #love #instagood #photoftheday #beautiful #happy #new #sports #entertainment #technology #business #fashion #health #travel #food #music #art #photography

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. Please meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal any soul wounds…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.   Try…A…Pause for Prayer and Devotional a Wellsaid Christian Devotional about the teachings of Jesus…   https://www.anopenbiblestudy.com/blog-by-ben-the-friend     #benjaminbrianstewart #Love #Christianity #Faith #Bible #Jesus #Prayer #Art #ChristianLife #Gospel #ChristianInspiration #Salvation #ChristianCommunity #love #instagood #photoftheday #beautiful #happy #new #sports #entertainment #technology #business #fashion #health #travel #food #music #art #photography

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. Prayer Father please help us from the heart practice the truth…please meet our soul’s deepest needs for Your law to be written on our hearts and in our minds…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

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.

We will all answer for our deeds done to others…either good or evil. 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. Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest unto God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences...2 Corinthians 5:10-11. But even if ye should suffer for righteousness' sake, blessed are you: and fear not their fear, neither be troubled; but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: being ready always to give answer to every man that asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness (obedience) and fear: having a good conscience; that, wherein ye are spoken against, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ...1 Peter 3:14-16. Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth...2 Timothy 2:15.   This is the end of the matter; all hath been heard: Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty (plan and purpose) of man. For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil...Ecclesiastes 12:13-14.   Do you fear dying and being judged for your deeds…yes or no? Jesus Christ died on the cross and was raised from the dead so you could change your fate of being punished by God for doing evil deeds. Jesus has already taken care of what you need to do to reconcile with God. You just need to trust in Jesus and obey His message of salvation. We must follow Jesus without fear of death knowing that He gives us eternal life and peace with God as faithfully practice the truth He reveals to us. We must turn from following ourselves in repentance and turning to God with all our heart, mind, and strength. Then faithfully practice the truth revealed to us.   Jesus said…He that believes (the message Jesus died and rose from the grave to supply your salvation) and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieves (rejects the message Jesus died to supply salvation for you) shall be condemned...Mark 16:16. and to you that are afflicted rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power in flaming fire, rendering vengeance to them that know not God, and to them that obey not the gospel (the message Jesus died and rose from the grave to supply salvation) of our Lord Jesus: who shall suffer punishment, even eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might...2 Thessalonians 1:7-9.   Prayer Father our Creator please give me more fear of Jesus and You so I can depart from evil and be zealous and repent of any of my evil deeds…please meet my soul’s deepest needs so I can prosper and be in health as my soul prospers…please heal me of the damage of my past and I forgive all others so I can be healed…please pour in Your oil…and give me a sound mind heart and spirit in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.   Try…A…Pause for Prayer and Devotional a Wellsaid Christian Devotional about the teachings of Jesus…   https://www.anopenbiblestudy.com/blog-by-ben-the-friend     #benjaminbrianstewart #Love #Christianity #Faith #Bible #Jesus #Prayer #Art #ChristianLife #Gospel #ChristianInspiration #Salvation #ChristianCommunity #love #instagood #photoftheday #beautiful #happy #new #sports #entertainment #technology #business #fashion #health #travel #food #music #art #photography

Fear God and keep His commandments… Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: Unite my heart to fear thy name...Psalms 86:11. The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; But the foolish despise wisdom and instruction...Proverbs 1:7. The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding...Proverbs 9:10. The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil: Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, And the perverse mouth, do I hate...Proverbs 8:13. The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring forever: The ordinances of Jehovah are true, and righteous altogether...Psalms 19:9. The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all they that do his commandments: His praise endures forever...Psalms 111:10. The fear of Jehovah is a fountain of life, That one may depart from the snares of death...Proverbs 14:27. Do you fear the Creator and His punishment of evil doers…yes or no? I do. God judges the wicked and the righteous and rewards them according to their deeds. Do you do evil…do you lie…steal…covet…commit adultery…honor your parents…murder…use God’s name in something other than prayer and teaching…do you keep yourself Holy so you do not have to shed innocent blood and are able to worship God…do you commit idolatry…yes or no? One day God will punish the evil doers and their end will be sudden and certain. Forsake evil and turn to God in fear and begin to keep His commandments before it is too late to escape His Punishment. One lie or evil deed results in the punishment of death eternal depart from evil now or as Jesus said repent or perish (Luke 13:3). Prayer Jehovah please grant us repentance and meet our soul’s deepest need for living in your fear so we can escape punishment…We believe in your only Son and have been washed in His blood…please restore the joy of salvation in our lives…and please cover us in grace mercy peace joy and love and grant wisdom and understanding be given to us who fear you…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Jesus is the light of life…have you asked Him to light you up? 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 whosoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life...John 4:14. for the truth's sake which abides in us, and it shall be with us forever...2 John 1:2. Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed Him, If ye abide in my word, then are you truly my disciples; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free...John 8:31-32. Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls.

Everyone says Jesus loves me…but how do you love Jesus… Listen to what is written Jesus said… If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments...John 14:15.   So if we want to return the love Jesus has for us then what are His commandments… As it is written… Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law? And He (Jesus) said unto him, You shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second like unto it is this, You shalt love thy neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments the whole law hangs, and the prophets...Matthew 22:36-40.   Jesus taught us many great things but the one thing you want to get right is to love God by obeying His commandments…with all of your heart, mind, and strength. When a Jewish ruler asked Jesus how to inherit eternal life Jesus asked if he kept the ten commandments…As it is written… And behold, one came to him and said, Teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why asks thou me concerning that which is good? One there is who is good: but if thou would enter into life, keep the commandments...Matthew 19:16-17. …He saith unto him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. The young man saith unto him, All these things have I observed: what lack I yet...Matthew 19:18-20?   When asked Jesus said we could worship God any day of the week not just on Saturday (Sabbath) by the woman at the well…the commandment to keep the Sabbath day holy was so you would not have to offer a sin sacrifice by breaking one of the other nine commandments. After the cross we now go to church on Sunday the first day of the week by a commandment…and still must keep ourselves Holy by keeping the other nine commandments… But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth...John 4:23-24. As it is written… Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I gave order to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye. Upon the first day of the week let each one of you lay by him in store, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come...1 Corinthians 16:1-2. If you keep the Ten Commandments by loving God with all of heart, mind, and strength then you are walking in Spirit and Truth and able to worship God not only on the Sabbath day every day, if you have sinned then you must repent and seek reconciliation then walk in Spirit and Truth again, but Christian congregations were told to meet on Sunday after the cross.   Prayer Please help us have the morality of the Ten Commandments and help us walk in Spirit and Truth so we may worship you and be accepted…please meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal our sinful pasts…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.   Try…A…Pause for Prayer and Devotional a Wellsaid Christian Devotional about the teachings of Jesus…   https://www.anopenbiblestudy.com/blog-by-ben-the-friend     #benjaminbrianstewart #Love #Christianity #Faith #Bible #Jesus #Prayer #Art #ChristianLife #Gospel #ChristianInspiration #Salvation #ChristianCommunity #love #instagood #photoftheday #beautiful #happy #new #sports #entertainment #technology #business #fashion #health #travel #food #music #art #photography

Have you yoked yourself together with Jesus... And this is love, that we should walk after His commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it. For many deceivers are gone forth into the world, even they that confess not that Jesus Christ cometh in the flesh. (died on the cross and rose from the dead) This is the deceiver and the antichrist...2 John 1:6-7. For we must all be made manifest (hearts and deeds made known like the manifest of a ship) 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. Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest (made known) unto God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences...2 Corinthians 5:10-11. Whosoever goes onward and abides (lives) not in the teaching of Christ, has not God: he that abides (lives) in the teaching (of Christ), the same hath both the Father and the Son. If anyone cometh unto you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and give him no greeting: for he that giveth him greeting partakes in his evil works...2 John 1:9-11. There are many antichrist religions in the world…think about how many religions do not confess the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Each one which denies Jesus died and was raised from the dead is of the antichrist spirit. Some even teach the Ten Commandments as to live by but deny God’s only Son died so they could find complete forgiveness and healing from their sins or evil deeds. Do you want to be forgiven by God…yes or no? Jesus was born of a virgin named Mary by a miracle. Jesus died on the cross after being scourged at the hands of the Romans. Jesus was raised from the dead as confirmation He is the Only human God our Creator the Great I am of Everything birthed. God sent His only Son to save souls from dying apart from Himself. Do you believe Jesus Christ died and rose again…yes or no? Listen to what is written after Jesus resurrection… And afterward (His resurrection) He was manifested unto the eleven themselves (Apostles) 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. And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieves 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...Mark 16:14-20. Jesus has already done the work of providing a way of forgiveness all you have to do is believe (trust He died and rose from the grave) and be baptized and remain faithful to not doing evil. Have you been baptized and still renounce all evil doing…yes or no? Will you renounce evil doing and be baptized…yes or no?

Do not be deceived no lie is of the truth… My little children, let no man lead you astray: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous: he that doeth 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...1 John 3:7-8. For the mystery of lawlessness doth already work: only there is one that restrains now, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of His mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of His coming; even he, whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness...2 Thessalonians 2:7-12. Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour...1 Peter 5:8. Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you...James 4:7.   Are of the liar or do you practice the truth? How many lies did you tell yesterday…? 0…Always telling the truth and practicing the truth is where salvation and faithfulness begin. Jesus Christ is the source of all truth…He is the truth and has no part in a lie. He saves liars by teaching them to practice the truth….to tell the truth. It is better to say I do not know than to make up an answer…it is better to remain silent than to speak a lie. Liars do not go to heaven they have a place reserved in the lake of fire and brimstone. So do not be deceived the moment a person tells you a lie you cannot trust them to be a Christian… And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever...Revelation 20:10.   Prayer Father our Creator God please help us be filled with the truth and to never lie…please supply our needs for the truth so we can walk with Jesus in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.   Try…A…Pause for Prayer and Devotional a Wellsaid Christian Devotional about the teachings of Jesus…   https://www.anopenbiblestudy.com/blog-by-ben-the-friend     #benjaminbrianstewart #Love #Christianity #Faith #Bible #Jesus #Prayer #Art #ChristianLife #Gospel #ChristianInspiration #Salvation #ChristianCommunity #love #instagood #photoftheday #beautiful #happy #new #sports #entertainment #technology #business #fashion #health #travel #food #music #art #photography

Will you renounce satan and any other except God and Jesus Christ kingdom and begin this new year walking with Jesus Christ the Good Shepherd of our souls…yes or no? If you are not a Christian then you are walking in darkness but you can become full of light be choosing Jesus Christ as the truth, as the way you live, and the life you will be living for eternity. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. He died on a cross and was raised from the dead so He could make it easy for you to tell the truth and practice what is right by God and fellow man. Jesus said you will know the truth and the truth will set you free (John 8:32).   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 does consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of light. But if your eye be evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you be darkness, how great is the darkness! 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 (this world)...Matthew 6:19-24. You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stands not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own (own will and imagination): for he is a liar, and the father thereof (the first liar)...John 8:44. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, meet for the master's use, prepared unto every good work.
