  • Repentance and remission of sins…

    Repentance and remission of sins… And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem...Luke 24:46-47. What does repentance involve…a changed heart, mind, and action. When it is written repentance and remission of sins should be preached…what is remission and repentance. Repentance is a heart, mind, and life committed to Jesus turning from selfish desires and actions…man’s part of salvation. Remission of sins…is God not imputing the sins of our lives…it is what some call grace…God’s part of salvation. When Ben, my life does not measure up to the standard of holiness or perfection then Jesus imputes the difference to justify me before God…so that I end up just-as-I’d never sinned. It is imputed righteousness. Where as repentance is man’s part…we can choose what our hearts, minds, and deeds are and we are to put Jesus first in all our actions and heart and mind, but what if we mess up….then remission of sins God’s part in salvation takes over and we are considered righteous before God even though we failed to measure up to perfection. Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need...Hebrews 4:14-16. Jesus died on the cross and was raised from the dead to provide us with remission of sins. For those of us who have believed and obeyed… For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ...Galatians 3:26-27. So then let us live holy in our conduct and manner of life… What is the standard of holy…then ten commandments… Have you received from another table…you shall have no other gods before Me… Have you bowed down to worship the created instead of the Creator…no idols Have you used God name in only prayer and teaching…no blasphemy Keep yourself holy by keeping the commandments of God of loving your neighbor as yourself and God first…when Jesus talked to the woman at the well He said any day now God will accept worship not just the Sabbath Day. Jews had to be in one of two situations on the Sabbath day either they had kept the other 9 commandments so they could worship on the Sabbath assembly or they had sinned and needed to see the priest and offer a proper sacrifice for their disobedience. They were in the sinner line or the assembly worshipping God because they were faithful. Honor your mom and dad…they took care of you in diapers you take care of them in diapers You shall not murder You shall not commit adultery You shall not steal You shall not bear false witness…do not lie or participate in a lie or half truth You shall not covet but want what God has been giving you Prayer Father please grant us repentance and remission of sins so we may dwell with you forever and please prosper us and meet our soul’s deepest needs…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

  • One deed of repentance and the thief on the cross was saved…

    One deed of repentance and the thief on the cross was saved… After Jesus baptism but before his death on the cross… What was Jesus of Nazareth’s message, when he was here on earth before He was delivered unto the death of the cross? Mat 4:17, “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” The scene of the cross… Luke 23:35-43, “And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God. (36) And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, (37) And saying, if thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself. (38) And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. (39) And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. (40) But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? (41) And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. (42) And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. (43) And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.” The repenting thief actions, he repented, he stopped the madness of people making fun of Jesus. He could not do much dying beside Jesus, but Jesus nailed to the cross, got one more soul saved, Because the one thief repented and obeyed Jesus message that he preached: Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. So, then it is an obedient faith that saves, because even the devils believe and tremble… but a thief was saved by one deed of repentance in obeying Jesus message at life’s last dying breath. Prayer Father please meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal our bodies afflictions, grant unto us repentance of our sins and mercy and pardon for them…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

  • Did you know Jesus began a fast from food unto the cross and resurrection?

    Did you know Jesus began a fast from food unto the cross and resurrection? And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer: For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God...Luke 22:14-16. Jesus when instituting the Lord’s Supper as we call it said He would not eat again until the Passover was fulfilled in the kingdom of God. Jesus was fasting when He was scourged, smitten for our offenses, and died on the cross. Jesus died and was raised from the dead so you and I could choose right over wrong…could choose God over satan…good over evil. Jesus said He is the truth, the life, and the way no one can come to the Father except through Him…John 14:6. Jesus said you will know the truth and the truth will set you free…John 8:32. Is this not good news…Jesus became the Passover lamb who gave His own life to take away our sins…He died and was raised from the dead to give us life and truth so we can follow Him in the way of the kingdom of God. All we have to do is practice the truth He reveals to us in doing what is good right and true. Jesus said He that believes and is baptized will be saved but he that chooses to not believe the truth (Jesus died and rose from the dead) will be damned…Mark 16:16. Will you obey Jesus by being baptized? …yes or no? Prayer Father please reveal the truth to us so we can stay faithful by obeying what is good, right, and true and meet all our soul’s deepest needs so we can be glad and serve You through Your Only Son Jesus…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

  • God loves a cheerful giver but do you have to tithe or give ten percent…

    God loves a cheerful giver but do you have to tithe or give ten percent… And he looked up, and saw the rich men that were casting their gifts into the treasury. And he saw a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than they all: for all these did of their superfluity cast in unto the gifts; but she of her want did cast in all the living that she had...Luke 21:1-4. But this I say, He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Let each man do according as he hath purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver...2 Corinthians 9:6-7. Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come...1 Corinthians 16:1-2. God can do anything but fail. You cannot out give God. God does not need your money but wants your heart and mind. In the New Agreement with God and mankind called the New Testament of Christ there is no tithing law or a law requiring to give ten percent. We are to give as we have been prospered and to do so with a cheerful heart. God always gives more than we can imagine or expect. Money is a representative of time and effort. Let us give cheerfully and willingly not because we have to but because we want to donate to the work of the church or good cause feeding the poor and preaching the gospel or the good news of Christ. Prayer Father please help us and meet our soul’s deepest needs…we give You our hearts and minds to rule well in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

  • Jesus does not want to be in your heart and life He wants to own it and rule it well…

    Jesus does not want to be in your heart and life He wants to own it and rule it well… I say unto you, that unto every one that hath (faithfulness) shall be given; but from him that hath not (no faithfulness), even that which he hath shall be taken away from him. But these mine enemies, that would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me...Luke 19:26-27. If any man cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Whosoever doth not bear his own cross (burden to be a Christian), and come after me, cannot be my disciple...Luke 14:26-27. …having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and what the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all...Ephesians 1:18-23. Jesus must be supreme ruler of your heart mind souls and spirits. Jesus does not just want to be in your life He wants to rule it will. Jesus does not want to be in your heart He wants to own and rule it. Will you give all to Jesus in repentance and follow the revealed truth by doing what is good right and true? Jesus has to be first place in your life…He is enthroned above and is the head of the church do not put anyone above Him. Prayer Father we surrender all to Jesus and ask He would rule us well we bring not an offering of money but our hearts and minds and lives and offer these to Him please meet our needs and grant us repentance…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

  • Jesus heals someone who asked…sought…and knocked on His door…

    Jesus heals someone who asked…sought…and knocked on His door… As he drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. And hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what this meant. They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” And he cried out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” And those who were in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” And Jesus stopped and commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, let me recover my sight.” And Jesus said to him, “Recover your sight; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God...Luke 18:35-43. This blind beggar could not find a door but Jesus is the door to heaven. Hears about Jesus and He close by even walking by. He thinks this is good news all I have to do is get and audience with Jesus just to be heard. This blind man keeps calling on Jesus until he had a chance to ask Jesus let me recover my sight…and Jesus being full of grace and truth granted his unceasing request. He would not stop calling out to Jesus! Jesus knew what he wanted but ask what do you want me to do for you? Then after being healed he followed Jesus. May we all have a break through…and follow Jesus We can ask Jesus in prayer in fact Jesus said ask…seek…knock and door will be opened unto you. When is the last time you called on Jesus for something you prayed about without ceasing? Prayer Father I ask you would heal us from our sin and infirmities…I ask that you would hear us and grant our requests for healing that we have been asking and seeking waiting for the door to be opened…please open the door and come heal us…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

  • Will no religious people be forgiven or just the religious…

    Will no religious people be forgiven or just the religious… He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”...Luke 18:9-14. In this parable…Jesus says the one who confessed his sin and that he was a sinner was justified or just-as-if -I’d never sinned. Yet the religious Pharisees gave God his resume of being religious and never confessed his sin. The tax collector knew he was a sinful man in need of mercy but the religious Pharisee thought he had no sin and was telling God how grateful he was that he was not a sinner. Oh may we realize where we stand with God as sinful men and women. Jesus died on a cross to take away our sinful pasts and give us future with Him. Jesus said unless one is born of the water and the Spirit a person cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Jesus said unless one believes He died and was raised from the dead and is baptized will be saved. IN this parable we read the value of confession of sin. Have you beat your chest and asked God to forgive you a sinner…yes or no? Have you been baptized to obey Jesus…yes or no? Prayer Father please forgive us of our sins we are just sinners without you justifying us…please show us mercy and grant us repentance where we need to grow closer to you…please meet our soul;s deepest needs so we can be reconciled to You and Your only Son Jesus who died on the cross and was raised from the dead to cleanse us…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

  • A short devotional on the Unjust Judge in the last of days…

    A short devotional on the Unjust Judge in the last of days… And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’ For a while he refused, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.’” And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says. And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”...Luke 18:1-8. Just before Jesus gave us this parable He spoke of dark times in which we would want to see one of the days of the Son of man. In this parable Jesus speaks of the authority of a unjust judge. This judge does not regard man or God. He only does what he thinks best. There is a widow who has none to support here and she just keep coming to the judge for justice. The Judge does not care about he widow or her just cause but is only worried that she keeps coming and pestering him. He gives her the justice she asked for. Jesus said hear what the unjust judge said…he did it out of personal reasons not due to justice or mercy. We today are living in the last of days and we will have to face people and authority of this type. May we be wise in the ways of this world to get our just causes done.

  • We should give God thanks for His many blessings…

    We should give God thanks for His many blessings… On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance and lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” When he saw them he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went they were cleansed. Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; and he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan. Then Jesus answered, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?” And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.”...Luke 17:11-19. How many Christians take for granted blessings coming from God? There were ten lepers cleansed and only one gave thanks to the source. Many of us give credit to the doctors and not to God or as is has been said God does the healing and the doctor collects the fee. Perhaps we should be like this outcast among outcasts…a leper was an outcast but to also be a Samaritan was double trouble, yet his heart declared gratitude and honor to the source of His cleansing and healing. May we all give God thanks for the miracles and blessings in our lives. Prayer Father thank you for the times in my life where you have healed me, comforted me and thanks you for being a blessing to me in so many ways, please meet our soul’s deepest need for a heart of gratitude and forgive me of the times I have not been grateful for the things in my life…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

  • Your unprofitable and faithful servant reporting for duty…

    Your unprofitable and faithful servant reporting for duty… Jesus said…“Will any one of you who has a servant plowing or keeping sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and recline at table’? Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, and dress properly, and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink’? Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded? So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.’”...Luke 17:7-10. One day we will rest from our labors…one day we will receive a reward. One day we will be in heaven with Jesus and the Father. One day we will rejoice forever more. That day has not yet come…we must remain vigilant and diligent in the things and works of God. Our prayers…our encouragement…our teaching…our tears…our pains will all seem as if they or nothing compared to the glory which awaits us when we hear well done my good and faithful servant. Prayer Father please forgive us of our sins, we have forgiven those who have done us wrong.

  • Do not put Christians to the test by tempting or testing them to sin against God…

    Do not put Christians to the test by tempting or testing them to sin against God… And Jesus (he) said to his disciples, “Temptations to sin are sure to come, but woe to the one through whom they come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin. Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”...Luke 17:1-4. It is better to die drowning in the sea with a heavy millstone or concrete block around your neck than to cause a Christian to sin. Jesus said it is better off for you to die than to cause a Christian to stumble. There are some people who just love to take you down a notch. Love to knock you off their perceived pedestal. Some people call it sport to or a game to cause a Christian to make a mistake and sin. For those who tempt another to sin…it is better to die than to try or cause a Christian to sin a sin against God. Jesus also says we are to forgive those who offend us or tempt us when they repent. However we as Christians must rebuke or reprove them or call their attention to what they have done to us to offend us. Then when they repent or stop the behavior, we are to forgive the actions against us. Yet Jesus still said you are better off dead than to tempt a Christian to sin…We may forgive but God is the avenger of wrath and punishment. Prayer Father help us to forgive and please be our avenger and deliverance from those who put us in circumstances that may cause us to sin…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.

  • It does not matter what you done son…just stop and come home…

    It does not matter what you done son…just stop and come home… God is pleading for you to stop sinning and come home. God wants and has provided everything you need to be a peace with Him and included in the family of God. You were baptized and raised with Jesus just stop your rebellion and come home. God will receive you…as it is written Therefore, come out from the midst of them and be separate," says the Lord, "and touch not the unclean, and I will receive you; And I shall be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters," says the Lord Almighty...2 Corinthians 6:17-18. Do you want an Almighty Father who will provide all that you need…then repent or stop and come home… Then He said, "A certain man had two sons; And the younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me that portion of the property which falls to me.' And he divided to them his living. And not many days after, the younger son gathered everything together and departed into a distant country. And there he wasted all his substance, living in debauchery. But after he had spent everything, there arose a severe famine throughout that country, and he began to be in need. Then he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he was longing to fill his stomach with the husks that the swine were eating, but no one gave anything to him. And when he came to himself, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have an abundance of bread, and I am dying of hunger? I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; And I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hired servants." ' And he arose and went to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran and embraced him, and ardently kissed him. And his son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' But the father said to his servant, 'Bring out a robe, the best robe, and clothe him, and give him a ring for his hand and sandals for his feet; And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and be merry. For this my son was dead, but is alive again; and he was lost, but is found.' And they began to be merry. But his elder son was in a field; and when he was coming back, and approached the house, he heard music and dancing. And after calling one of the servants nearby, he inquired what these things might be. And he said to him, 'Your brother has come home, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has received him safe and well.' Then he was angry and would not go in. As a result, his father came out and pleaded with him. But he answered and said to his father, 'Behold, I have served you so many years, and never did I transgress your commandment; yet you never gave me a kid, so that I might make merry with my friends; But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your living with harlots, you killed the fattened calf for him.' Then he said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. But it was fitting to make merry and rejoice because your brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, but is found.' " ...Luke 15:11-32. Prayer Father who is in Heaven Holy is your name…please give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our sins…we have forgiven those who done us wrong….we renounce satan and anything you forbid…please teach us better and grant us repentance for Yours is the power the kingdom and the glory forevermore amen.
