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.   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

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? Prayer Creator we renounce satan and confess we need You to free us from his snares and principles…help us to recognize and turn from the world and its principles knowing it is being deceived by satan…please meet our soul’s deepest needs by granting us strength and repentance to overcome and heal us from our faults…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

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).

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.

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
