O God refine me like silver until You see your image in the reflection…pure. The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times...Psalms 12:6. The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb....Psalms 19:7-10. To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled. They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work...Titus 1:15-16.   Are you works or deeds based on the pure word of God…yes or no? Do you have a thus said the Lord for all you do…Authority from the New Testament of Christ…yes or no?   We can know the truth because Jesus said the truth sets us free from deception and lies from the evil one. The evil one deceives the nations and we must remain vigilant not to be deceived in and corrupt and cruel world of lies. Can you discern a lie…I can discern a liar easier than a lie because a liar always lies and if they lie to you once then you cannot trust them. May our lives be filled with truth tellers who do not withhold.   Prayer Father please meet our needs and keep us pure so we can practice the truth without falling for another lie or liar…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 What does pure in heart mean?

Money should be your servant not your God… And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves; and He saith unto them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer: but ye make it a den of robbers. And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them...Matthew 21:12-14. Why did Jesus overthrow the money changers and those that bought and sold in the temple? They were running a business on forgiveness…some people did not have access to the animals needed for the required sacrifices. These men would sell the needed provisions…the animals needed for forgiveness. The people were being extorted (squeezed) for money and forgiveness. Jesus said…No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money...Matthew 6:24. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs...1 Timothy 6:9-10. Prayer Father we know forgiveness is now free in the love of Jesus your only Son who died on the cross and was raised from the dead…please help us see our errors of sin and grant us repentance so we may be saved and reconciled to You the Creator…please meet our soul’s deepest needs in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

How to get out of a spiritual snare of satan…after being taken captive by him…   You have to resist the devil and surrender what ever you reached for to Jesus and accept Jesus will not your own or the devil you agreed with to allow the snare possible. If you want Jesus will enough then the devil will eject itself…Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you...James 4:7. After you do renounce satan and whatever agreement you made to allow the devil presence in your life then you must remain careful not to agree to the same deal… The unclean spirit when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and finding none, he saith, I will turn back unto my house whence I came out. And when he is come, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more evil than himself; and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first...Luke 11:24-26.   The devil you agreed will come back and seek your soul again through deals or favors. He will not come alone but with seven other spirits trying to get you back in a league or deal with the devil. You must remain vigilant and not surrender or cater to the deal and his offers. You have to do this. Someone else cannot do it for you…pray for repentance to be granted and for freedom from the devil and the snare you fell headlong into… And the Lord's servant must not strive, but be gentle towards all, apt to teach, forbearing, in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure 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.   Prayer Father we renounce any agreement we have made willing or unwilling known or unknown with anyone (soul) other than your Son Jesus…please reveal the truth so we can get out of the snare of the devil because we are now taken captive by him…we want to serve You and Your Only Son Jesus and no other please meet our souls’ deepest needs for freedom from satan and his snares…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

You ever caused God to rejoice… See that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven. For the Son of man came to save that which was lost. How think ye? if any man have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, does he not leave the ninety and nine, and go unto the mountains, and seek that which goes astray? And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety and nine which have not gone astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish...Matthew 18:10-14. My brethren, if any among you err from the truth, and one convert him; let him know, that he who converts a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins...James 5:19-20. And the Lord's servant must not strive, but be gentle towards all, apt to teach, forbearing, in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure 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.   You ever seen a loved one teach a false doctrine after knowing the truth…or see them fall into following a false teacher…or false doctrine…yes or no? Some say it is just a white lie…no it is false witness…some say it he was not using it properly so I took it…no it is stealing…I wish he did not exist…no it is hate and the beginning of murder…some say it is idolatry…no Jesus said to bear my cross it is a reminder around my neck…some say I want it and got it myself…no it is coveting…some say I do not have to take care of my parents…no it is not honoring your father and mother…some say it is just pictures not pornography…Jesus said it is adultery in your heart…some say God will accept any song and form of worship…no we must keep ourselves Holy and worship in Spirit and the Truth…some say O my God…no it is using His name wrong unless you are praying or teaching about God. Some say there are many ways to God…no you shall have no other God than our Creator and His Only Fathered human Son born of a virgin…so that no human could say they are greater. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by Me (the Truth)...John 14:6.   Prayer Father please grant us and our loved ones repentance and mercy from Your throne and heart…please meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal our flesh and soul from the consequences of our past sins…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

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.  Thou shalt not covet …Exodus 20:17   Prayer Father we renounce anyone and anything that is not Holy…please we are but children in diapers before you wandering about please meet our soul’s deepest needs for salvation and health so we may continue to grow and be healthy in Your eyes we do not know where we went wrong…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

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.   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

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?

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.   Prayer Father please meet our deepest needs and heal us from our infirmities in the faith and physically…please fill us with the Holy 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

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.

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… 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?
