JESUS THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH

Hebrews 12:2

Looking Unto Jesus The Author And Finisher Of Our Faith; Who For The Joy That Was Set Before Him Endured The Cross, Despising The Shame, And Is Set Down At The Right Hand Of The Throne Of God.

Colossians 2:9-10

For In Him Dwelleth All The Fulness Of The Godhead Bodily.

And Ye Are Complete In Him, Which Is The Head Of All Principality And Power:

John 3:3-6

2 Corinthians 1:19-22

For The Son Of God, Jesus Christ, Who Was Preached Among You By Us, Even By Me And Silvanus And Timotheus, Was Not Yea And Nay, But In Him Was Yea. For All The Promises Of God In Him Are Yea, And In Him Amen, Unto The Glory Of God By Us. Now He Which Stablisheth Us With You In Christ, And Hath Anointed Us, Is God; Who Hath Also Sealed Us, And Given The Earnest Of The Spirit In Our Hearts.

Ephesians 1:3-14

Blessed Be The God And Father Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Who Hath Blessed Us With All Spiritual Blessings In Heavenly Places In Christ: According As He Hath Chosen Us In Him Before The Foundation Of The World, That We Should Be Holy And Without Blame Before Him In Love: Having Predestinated Us Unto The Adoption Of Children By Jesus Christ To Himself, According To The Good Pleasure Of His Will, To The Praise Of The Glory Of His Grace, Wherein He Hath Made Us Accepted In The Beloved. In Whom We Have Redemption Through His Blood, The Forgiveness Of Sins, According To The Riches Of His Grace; Wherein He Hath Abounded Toward Us In All Wisdom And Prudence; Having Made Known Unto Us The Mystery Of His Will, According To His Good Pleasure Which He Hath Purposed In Himself: That In The Dispensation Of The Fulness Of Times He Might Gather Together In One All Things In Christ, Both Which Are In Heaven, And Which Are On Earth; Even In Him: In Whom Also We Have Obtained An Inheritance, Being Predestinated According To The Purpose Of Him Who Worketh All Things After The Counsel Of His Own Will: That We Should Be To The Praise Of His Glory, Who First Trusted In Christ. In Whom Ye Also Trusted, After That Ye Heard The Word Of Truth, The Gospel Of Your Salvation: In Whom Also After That Ye Believed, Ye Were Sealed With That Holy Spirit Of Promise, Which Is The Earnest Of Our Inheritance Until The Redemption Of The Purchased Possession, Unto The Praise Of His Glory.

Ephesians 4:21-22,24,30

If So Be That Ye Have Heard Him, And Have Been Taught By Him, As The Truth Is In Jesus: That Ye Put Off Concerning The Former Conversation The Old Man, Which Is Corrupt According To The Deceitful Lusts;

[24] And That Ye Put On The New Man, Which After God Is Created In Righteousness And True Holiness.

[30] And Grieve Not The Holy Spirit Of God, Whereby Ye Are Sealed Unto The Day Of Redemption.

Galatians 5:24

And They That Are Christ's Have Crucified The Flesh With The Affections And Lusts.

Romans 8:23-39

And Not Only They, But Ourselves Also, Which Have The Firstfruits Of The Spirit, Even We Ourselves Groan Within Ourselves, Waiting For The Adoption, To Wit, The Redemption Of Our Body. For We Are Saved By Hope: But Hope That Is Seen Is Not Hope: For What A Man Seeth, Why Doth He Yet Hope For? But If We Hope For That We See Not, Then Do We With Patience Wait For It. Likewise The Spirit Also Helpeth Our Infirmities: For We Know Not What We Should Pray For As We Ought: But The Spirit Itself 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. What Shall We Then Say To These Things? If God Be For Us, Who Can Be Against Us? He That Spared Not His Own Son, But Delivered Him Up For Us All, How Shall He Not With Him Also Freely Give Us All Things? Who Shall Lay Any Thing To The Charge Of God's Elect? It Is God That Justifieth. Who Is He That Condemneth? It Is Christ That Died, Yea Rather, That Is Risen Again, Who Is Even At The Right Hand Of God, Who Also Maketh Intercession For Us. Who Shall Separate Us From The Love Of Christ? Shall Tribulation, Or Distress, Or Persecution, Or Famine, Or Nakedness, Or Peril, Or Sword? As It Is Written, For Thy Sake We Are Killed All The Day Long; We Are Accounted As Sheep For The Slaughter. Nay, In All These Things We Are More Than Conquerors Through Him That Loved Us. For I Am Persuaded, That Neither Death, Nor Life, Nor Angels, Nor Principalities, Nor Powers, Nor Things Present, Nor Things To Come, Nor Height, Nor Depth, Nor Any Other Creature, Shall Be Able To Separate Us From The Love Of God, Which Is In Christ Jesus Our Lord.

1 John 3:1-10

Behold, What Manner Of Love The Father Hath Bestowed Upon Us, That We Should Be Called The Sons Of God: Therefore The World Knoweth Us Not, Because It Knew Him Not. Beloved, Now Are We The Sons Of God, And It Doth Not Yet Appear What We Shall Be: But We Know That, When He Shall Appear, We Shall Be Like Him; For We Shall See Him As He Is. And Every Man That Hath This Hope In Him Purifieth Himself, Even As He Is Pure. Whosoever Committeth Sin Transgresseth Also The Law: For Sin Is The Transgression Of The Law. And Ye Know That He Was Manifested To Take Away Our Sins; And In Him Is No Sin. Whosoever Abideth In Him Sinneth Not: Whosoever Sinneth Hath Not Seen Him, Neither Known Him. Little Children, Let No Man Deceive You: He That Doeth Righteousness Is Righteous, Even As He Is Righteous. He That Committeth Sin Is Of The Devil; For The Devil Sinneth From The Beginning. For This Purpose The Son Of God Was Manifested, That He Might Destroy The Works Of The Devil. Whosoever Is Born Of God Doth Not Commit Sin; For His Seed Remaineth In Him: And He Cannot Sin, Because He Is Born Of God. In This The Children Of God Are Manifest, And The Children Of The Devil: Whosoever Doeth Not Righteousness Is Not Of God, Neither He That Loveth Not His Brother.

2 Corinthians 5:15-21

And That He Died For All, That They Which Live Should Not Henceforth Live Unto Themselves, But Unto Him Which Died For Them, And Rose Again. Wherefore Henceforth Know We No Man After The Flesh: Yea, Though We Have Known Christ After The Flesh, Yet Now Henceforth Know We Him No More. Therefore If Any Man Be In Christ, He Is A New Creature: Old Things Are Passed Away; Behold, All Things Are Become New. And All Things Are Of God, Who Hath Reconciled Us To Himself By Jesus Christ, And Hath Given To Us The Ministry Of Reconciliation; To Wit, That God Was In Christ, Reconciling The World Unto Himself, Not Imputing Their Trespasses Unto Them; And Hath Committed Unto Us The Word Of Reconciliation. Now Then We Are Ambassadors For Christ, As Though God Did Beseech You By Us: We Pray You In Christ's Stead, Be Ye Reconciled To God. For He Hath Made Him To Be Sin For Us, Who Knew No Sin; That We Might Be Made The Righteousness Of God In Him.

Galatians 5:25

IF WE LIVE IN THE SPIRIT, LET US ALSO WALK IN THE SPIRIT.

For If Ye Love Them Which Love You, What Reward Have Ye? Do Not Even The Publicans The Same? And If Ye Salute Your Brethren Only, What Do Ye More Than Others? Do Not Even The Publicans So? Be Ye Therefore Perfect, Even As Your Father Which Is In Heaven Is Perfect.

Matthew 6:7

But When Ye Pray, Use Not Vain Repetitions, As The Heathen Do: For They Think That They Shall Be Heard For Their Much Speaking.

1 Peter 4:7

But The End Of All Things Is At Hand: Be Ye Therefore Sober, And Watch Unto Prayer.

Watch Ye Therefore, And Pray Always, That Ye May Be Accounted Worthy To Escape All These Things That Shall Come To Pass, And To Stand Before The Son Of Man.

There are many reasons to Pray, for our families, friends, neighbors, and enemies, as well as ourselves. And Praying That We All May Be Accounted Worthy To Escape All These Things That Shall Come To Pass, And To Stand Before The Son Of Man.

THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT

Ezekiel 36:26-27

A New Heart Also Will I Give You, And A New Spirit Will I Put Within You: And I Will Take Away The Stony Heart Out Of Your Flesh, And I Will Give You An Heart Of Flesh. And I Will Put My Spirit Within You, And Cause You To Walk In My Statutes, And Ye Shall Keep My Judgments, And Do Them.

But Ye Are Not In The Flesh, But In The Spirit, If So Be That The Spirit Of God Dwell In You. Now If Any Man Have Not The Spirit Of Christ, He Is None Of His.

2 Corinthians 3:3-6

Forasmuch As Ye Are Manifestly Declared To Be The Epistle Of Christ Ministered By Us, Written Not With Ink, But With The Spirit Of The Living God; Not In Tables Of Stone, But In Fleshy Tables Of The Heart. And Such Trust Have We Through Christ To God-ward: Not That We Are Sufficient Of Ourselves To Think Any Thing As Of Ourselves; But Our Sufficiency Is Of God; Who Also Hath Made Us Able Ministers Of The New Testament; Not Of The Letter, But Of The Spirit: For The Letter Killeth, But The Spirit Giveth Life.

Titus 3:5-7

Not By Works Of Righteousness Which We Have Done, But According To His Mercy He Saved Us, By The Washing Of Regeneration, And Renewing Of The Holy Ghost; Which He Shed On Us Abundantly Through Jesus Christ Our Saviour; That Being Justified By His Grace, We Should Be Made Heirs According To The Hope Of Eternal Life.

GROW IN KNOWLEDGE

Isaiah 28:9-10

Whom Shall He Teach Knowledge? And Whom Shall He Make To Understand Doctrine? Them That Are Weaned From The Milk, And Drawn From The Breasts. For Precept Must Be Upon Precept, Precept Upon Precept; Line Upon Line, Line Upon Line; Here A Little, And There A Little:

1 Corinthians 3:1-2

And I, Brethren, Could Not Speak Unto You As Unto Spiritual, But As Unto Carnal, Even As Unto Babes In Christ.

I Have Fed You With Milk, And Not With Meat: For Hitherto Ye Were Not Able To Bear It, Neither Yet Now Are Ye Able.

1 Peter 2:2

As Newborn Babes, Desire The Sincere Milk Of The Word, That Ye May Grow Thereby:

Hebrews 5:11-14

Of Whom We Have Many Things To Say, And Hard To Be Uttered, Seeing Ye Are Dull Of Hearing. For When For The Time Ye Ought To Be Teachers, Ye Have Need That One Teach You Again Which Be The First Principles Of The Oracles Of God; And Are Become Such As Have Need Of Milk, And Not Of Strong Meat. For Every One That Useth Milk Is Unskilful In The Word Of Righteousness: For He Is A Babe. But Strong Meat Belongeth To Them That Are Of Full Age, Even Those Who By Reason Of Use Have Their Senses Exercised To Discern Both Good And Evil.

James 1:5

If Any Of You Lack Wisdom, Let Him Ask Of God, That Giveth To All Men Liberally, And Upbraideth Not; And It Shall Be Given Him.

Do Not Stay A Babe In The Knowledge Of Christ Jesus, Grow Up. When You Stay A Babe In Knowledge You Are Easily Deceived.

2 Peter 3:17

Ye Therefore, Beloved, Seeing Ye Know These Things Before, Beware Lest Ye Also, Being Led Away With The Error Of The Wicked, Fall From Your Own Stedfastness.

2 Peter 3:18

But Grow In Grace, And In The Knowledge Of Our Lord And Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him Be Glory Both Now And For Ever. Amen.

HOPE

Psalm 32:1-2

Blessed Is He Whose Transgression Is Forgiven, Whose Sin Is Covered. Blessed Is The Man Unto Whom The Lord Imputeth Not Iniquity, And In Whose Spirit There Is No Guile.

Romans 5:1-21

Therefore Being Justified By Faith, We Have Peace With God Through Our Lord Jesus Christ: By Whom Also We Have Access By Faith Into This Grace Wherein We Stand, And Rejoice In HOPE Of The Glory Of God. And Not Only So, But We Glory In Tribulations Also: Knowing That Tribulation Worketh Patience; And Patience, Experience; And Experience, HOPE: And Hope Maketh Not Ashamed; Because The Love Of God Is Shed Abroad In Our Hearts By The Holy Ghost Which Is Given Unto Us. For When We Were Yet Without Strength, In Due Time Christ Died For The Ungodly. For Scarcely For A Righteous Man Will One Die: Yet Peradventure For A Good Man Some Would Even Dare To Die. But God Commendeth His Love Toward Us, In That, While We Were Yet Sinners, Christ Died For Us. Much More Then, Being Now Justified By His Blood, We Shall Be Saved From Wrath Through Him. For If, When We Were Enemies, We Were Reconciled To God By The Death Of His Son, Much More, Being Reconciled, We Shall Be Saved By His Life. And Not Only So, But We Also Joy In God Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, By Whom We Have Now Received The Atonement. Wherefore, As By One Man Sin Entered Into The World, And Death By Sin; And So Death Passed Upon All Men, For That All Have Sinned:(For Until The Law Sin Was In The World: But Sin Is Not Imputed When There Is No Law. Nevertheless Death Reigned From Adam To Moses, Even Over Them That Had Not Sinned After The Similitude Of Adam's Transgression, Who Is The Figure Of Him That Was To Come. But Not As The Offence, So Also Is The Free Gift. For If Through The Offence Of One Many Be Dead, Much More The Grace Of God, And The Gift By Grace, Which Is By One Man, Jesus Christ, Hath Abounded Unto Many. And Not As It Was By One That Sinned, So Is The Gift: For The Judgment Was By One To Condemnation, But The Free Gift Is Of Many Offences Unto Justification. For If By One Man's Offence Death Reigned By One; Much More They Which Receive Abundance Of Grace And Of The Gift Of Righteousness Shall Reign In Life By One, Jesus Christ.) Therefore As By The Offence Of One Judgment Came Upon All Men To Condemnation; Even So By The Righteousness Of One The Free Gift Came Upon All Men Unto Justification Of Life. For As By One Man's Disobedience Many Were Made Sinners, So By The Obedience Of One Shall Many Be Made Righteous. Moreover The Law Entered, That The Offence Might Abound. But Where Sin Abounded, Grace Did Much More Abound: That As Sin Hath Reigned Unto Death, Even So Might Grace Reign Through Righteousness Unto Eternal Life By Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Hebrews 7:18-19

For There Is Verily A Disannulling Of The Commandment Going Before For The Weakness And Unprofitableness Thereof. For The Law Made Nothing Perfect, But The Bringing In Of A Better HOPE Did; By The Which We Draw Nigh Unto God.

1 John 3:1-10

Behold, What Manner Of Love The Father Hath Bestowed Upon Us, That We Should Be Called The Sons Of God: Therefore The World Knoweth Us Not, Because It Knew Him Not. Beloved, Now Are We The Sons Of God, And It Doth Not Yet Appear What We Shall Be: But We Know That, When He Shall Appear, We Shall Be Like Him; For We Shall See Him As He Is. And EVERY MAN THAT HATH THIS HOPE IN HIM PURIFIETH HIMSELF, EVEN AS HE IS PURE. Whosoever Committeth Sin Transgresseth Also The Law: For Sin Is The Transgression Of The Law. And Ye Know That He Was Manifested To Take Away Our Sins; And In Him Is No Sin. Whosoever Abideth In Him Sinneth Not: Whosoever Sinneth Hath Not Seen Him, Neither Known Him. Little Children, Let No Man Deceive You: He That Doeth Righteousness Is Righteous, Even As He Is Righteous. He That Committeth Sin Is Of The Devil; For The Devil Sinneth From The Beginning. For This Purpose The Son Of God Was Manifested, That He Might Destroy The Works Of The Devil. Whosoever Is Born Of God Doth Not Commit Sin; For His Seed Remaineth In Him: And He Cannot Sin, Because He Is Born Of God. In This The Children Of God Are Manifest, And The Children Of The Devil: Whosoever Doeth Not Righteousness Is Not Of God, Neither He That Loveth Not His Brother.

Romans 4:2-8

For If Abraham Were Justified By Works, He Hath Whereof To Glory; But Not Before God. For What Saith The Scripture? Abraham Believed God, And It Was Counted Unto Him For Righteousness. Now To Him That Worketh Is The Reward Not Reckoned Of Grace, But Of Debt. But To Him That Worketh Not, But Believeth On Him That Justifieth The Ungodly, His Faith Is Counted For Righteousness. Even As David Also Describeth The Blessedness Of The Man, Unto Whom God Imputeth Righteousness Without Works, Saying, Blessed Are They Whose Iniquities Are Forgiven, And Whose Sins Are Covered. Blessed Is The Man To Whom The Lord Will Not Impute Sin.

Romans 4:21-25

AND BEING FULLY PERSUADED THAT, WHAT HE HAD PROMISED, HE WAS ABLE ALSO TO PERFORM. AND THEREFORE IT WAS IMPUTED TO HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. NOW IT WAS NOT WRITTEN FOR HIS SAKE ALONE, THAT IT WAS IMPUTED TO HIM; BUT FOR US ALSO, TO WHOM IT SHALL BE IMPUTED, IF WE BELIEVE ON HIM THAT RAISED UP JESUS OUR LORD FROM THE DEAD; WHO WAS DELIVERED FOR OUR OFFENCES, AND WAS RAISED AGAIN FOR OUR JUSTIFICATION.

Imputed: To Say That Someone Is Responsible For Something That Has Happened, Especially Something Bad, The Act Of Imputation Is Simply The Charging Of One With Something.

SANCTIFY THEM THROUGH THY TRUTH: THY WORD IS TRUTH

Have you ever noticed how people want to destroy what they don't want others to know? What about history, do you know who freed slaves? Abraham Lincoln right? Then why are the people tearing down his monuments and legacy? In the name of fighting oppression, they are ridding themselves of the historical symbols of their freedom. Due to lies and ignorance of the facts of history, they are going back into the slavery they hate so much. The Truth will set you free. Satan lied to Adam and Eve and they became slaves to sin, not only them but the whole world also. Evil prevails when lies are believed. The Truth must always be told and taught no matter how awful it is or was. Knowing The Truth is how we don't repeat the past. Only through The Knowledge Of Truth will we have True Freedom, from slavery as people and Freedom From Spiritual Slavery To Sin as well. Truth sheds Light on darkness and overcomes the darkness. The Truth Is Our Bible, when we read our Bible The Truth Is A Lamp Unto Our Feet That Sheds A Light On Our Straight And Narrow Path. When we walk in the spirit of lies of darkness we error from our path and turn unto wickedness. When we Read Our Bible We Will Be Guided By The Holy Spirit, And He Will Lead Us Unto Righteousness. So I ask this, why would so-called preachers and teachers want to destroy The Bible? Andy Stanley is one of the people who don't believe The Bible Is The Truth, so what Gospel does he preach, and where did he get it from?

Psalm 119:105

Thy Word Is A Lamp Unto My Feet, And A Light Unto My Path.

John 16:13-14

Howbeit when He, The Spirit Of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all Truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come. He Shall Glorify Me: for He shall receive of Mine, and shall shew it unto you.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Ephesians 4:14-16

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking The Truth In love, may grow up into Him in all things, which is The Head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

1 Timothy 4:1-2

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

Matthew 7:13-23

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because Strait Is The Gate, And Narrow Is The Way, Which Leadeth Unto Life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a 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. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into The Kingdom Of Heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in Heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy Name? And in Thy Name have cast out devils? And in Thy Name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.

My Prayer today and every day is found in,

John 17:17

SANCTIFY THEM THROUGH THY TRUTH: THY WORD IS TRUTH.

AFFIRM CONSTANTLY

Titus 3:4-11

But After That The Kindness And Love Of God Our Saviour Toward Man Appeared, Not By Works Of Righteousness Which We Have Done, But According To His Mercy He Saved Us, By The Washing Of Regeneration, And Renewing Of The Holy Ghost; Which He Shed On Us Abundantly Through Jesus Christ Our Saviour; THAT BEING JUSTIFIED BY HIS GRACE, WE SHOULD BE MADE HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE. This Is A Faithful Saying, And These Things I Will That Thou AFFIRM CONSTANTLY, That They Which Have Believed In God Might Be Careful To Maintain Good Works. These Things Are Good And Profitable Unto Men. But Avoid Foolish Questions, And Genealogies, And Contentions, And Strivings About The Law; For They Are Unprofitable And Vain. A Man That Is An Heretick After The First And Second Admonition Reject; Knowing That He That Is Such Is Subverted, And Sinneth, Being Condemned Of Himself.

Romans 3:20-28

Therefore By The Deeds Of The Law There Shall No Flesh Be Justified In His Sight: FOR BY THE LAW IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF SIN. BUT NOW THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD WITHOUT THE LAW IS Manifested, Being Witnessed By The Law And The Prophets; Even THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD Which IS BY FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST UNTO ALL AND UPON ALL THEM THAT BELIEVE: For There Is No Difference: For All Have Sinned, And Come Short Of The Glory Of God; Being Justified Freely By His Grace Through The Redemption That Is In Christ Jesus: Whom God Hath Set Forth To Be A Propitiation Through Faith In His Blood, To Declare His Righteousness For The Remission Of Sins That Are Past, Through The Forbearance Of God; To Declare, I Say, At This Time HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS: THAT HE MIGHT BE JUST, AND THE JUSTIFIER OF HIM WHICH BELIEVETH IN JESUS. Where Is Boasting Then? It Is Excluded. By What Law? Of Works? NAY: BUT BY THE LAW OF FAITH. THEREFORE WE CONCLUDE THAT A MAN IS JUSTIFIED BY FAITH WITHOUT THE DEEDS OF THE LAW.

BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS COME UNTO YOU

BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS COME UNTO YOU.

Matthew 12:28

But If I Cast Out Devils By The Spirit Of God, Then The Kingdom Of God Is Come Unto You.

John 3:3-8

Jesus Answered And Said Unto Him, Verily, Verily, I Say Unto Thee, Except A Man Be Born Again, He Cannot See The Kingdom Of God. Nicodemus Saith Unto Him, How Can A Man Be Born When He Is Old? Can He Enter The Second Time Into His Mother's Womb, And Be Born? Jesus Answered, Verily, Verily, I Say Unto Thee, Except A Man Be Born Of Water And Of The Spirit, He Cannot Enter Into The Kingdom Of God. That Which Is Born Of The Flesh Is Flesh; And That Which Is Born Of The Spirit Is Spirit. Marvel Not That I Said Unto Thee, Ye Must Be Born Again. The Wind Bloweth Where It Listeth, And Thou Hearest The Sound Thereof, But Canst Not Tell Whence It Cometh, And Whither It Goeth: So Is Every One That Is Born Of The Spirit.

Luke 17:20-21

And When He Was Demanded Of The Pharisees, When The Kingdom Of God Should Come, He Answered Them And Said, The Kingdom Of God Cometh Not With Observation: Neither Shall They Say, Lo Here! Or, Lo There! For, Behold, The Kingdom Of God Is Within You.

Matthew 6:33

But Seek Ye First The Kingdom Of God, And His Righteousness; And All These Things Shall Be Added Unto You.

Luke 16:16

The Law And The Prophets Were Until John: Since That Time The Kingdom Of God Is Preached, And Every Man Presseth Into It.

Mark 1:14-15

Now After That John Was Put In Prison, Jesus Came Into Galilee, Preaching The Gospel Of The Kingdom Of God, And Saying, The Time Is Fulfilled, And The Kingdom Of God Is At Hand: Repent Ye, And Believe The Gospel.

Luke 9:59-62

And He Said Unto Another, Follow Me. But He Said, Lord, Suffer Me First To Go And Bury My Father. Jesus Said Unto Him, Let The Dead Bury Their Dead: But Go Thou And Preach The Kingdom Of God. And Another Also Said, Lord, I Will Follow Thee; But Let Me First Go Bid Them Farewell, Which Are At Home At My House. And Jesus Said Unto Him, No Man, Having Put His Hand To The Plough, And Looking Back, Is Fit For The Kingdom Of God.

Luke 9:2

And He Sent Them To Preach The Kingdom Of God, And To Heal The Sick.

Luke 10:5-12

And Into Whatsoever House Ye Enter, First Say, Peace Be To This House. And If The Son Of Peace Be There, Your Peace Shall Rest Upon It: If Not, It Shall Turn To You Again. And In The Same House Remain, Eating And Drinking Such Things As They Give: For The Labourer Is Worthy Of His Hire. Go Not From House To House. And Into Whatsoever City Ye Enter, And They Receive You, Eat Such Things As Are Set Before You: And Heal The Sick That Are Therein, And Say Unto Them, The Kingdom Of God Is Come Nigh Unto You. But Into Whatsoever City Ye Enter, And They Receive You Not, Go Your Ways Out Into The Streets Of The Same, And Say, Even The Very Dust Of Your City, Which Cleaveth On Us, We Do Wipe Off Against You: Notwithstanding Be Ye Sure Of This, That The Kingdom Of God Is Come Nigh Unto You. But I Say Unto You, That It Shall Be More Tolerable In That Day For Sodom, Than For That City.

Romans 14:17-19

FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NOT MEAT AND DRINK; BUT RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND PEACE, AND JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST. FOR HE THAT IN THESE THINGS SERVETH CHRIST IS ACCEPTABLE TO GOD, And Approved Of Men. Let Us Therefore FOLLOW AFTER THE THINGS WHICH MAKE FOR PEACE, AND THINGS WHEREWITH ONE MAY EDIFY ANOTHER.

Luke 21:31

So Likewise Ye, When Ye See These Things Come To Pass, Know Ye That The Kingdom Of God Is Nigh At Hand.

Luke 13:29

And They Shall Come From The East, And From The West, And From The North, And From The South, And Shall Sit Down In The Kingdom Of God.

Do You Hunger And Thirst After Righteousness

Do You Hunger And Thirst After Righteousness?

Matthew 5:6

Blessed Are They Which Do Hunger And Thirst After Righteousness: For They Shall Be Filled.

Matthew 6:24-34

No Man Can Serve Two Masters: For Either He Will Hate The One, And Love The Other; Or Else He Will Hold To The One, And Despise The Other. Ye Cannot Serve God And Mammon. Therefore I Say Unto You, Take No Thought For Your Life, What Ye Shall Eat, Or What Ye Shall Drink; Nor Yet For Your Body, What Ye Shall Put On. Is Not The Life More Than Meat, And The Body Than Raiment? Behold The Fowls Of The Air: For They Sow Not, Neither Do They Reap, Nor Gather Into Barns; Yet Your Heavenly Father Feedeth Them. Are Ye Not Much Better Than They? Which Of You By Taking Thought Can Add One Cubit Unto His Stature? And Why Take Ye Thought For Raiment? Consider The Lilies Of The Field, How They Grow; They Toil Not, Neither Do They Spin: And Yet I Say Unto You, That Even Solomon In All His Glory Was Not Arrayed Like One Of These. Wherefore, If God So Clothe 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 Ye Of Little Faith? Therefore Take No Thought, 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 Knoweth That Ye Have Need Of All These Things. But Seek Ye First The Kingdom Of God, And His Righteousness; And All These Things Shall Be Added Unto You. Take Therefore No Thought For The Morrow: For The Morrow Shall Take Thought For The Things Of Itself. Sufficient Unto The Day Is The Evil Thereof.

Luke 11:13

If Ye Then, Being Evil, Know How To Give Good Gifts Unto Your Children: How Much More Shall Your Heavenly Father Give The Holy Spirit To Them That Ask Him?

Hebrews 12:2-5

Looking Unto Jesus The Author And Finisher Of Our Faith; Who For The Joy That Was Set Before Him Endured The Cross, Despising The Shame, And Is Set Down At The Right Hand Of The Throne Of God. For Consider Him That Endured Such Contradiction Of Sinners Against Himself, Lest Ye Be Wearied And Faint In Your Minds. Ye Have Not Yet Resisted Unto Blood, Striving Against Sin. And Ye Have Forgotten The Exhortation Which Speaketh Unto You As Unto Children, My Son, Despise Not Thou The Chastening Of The Lord, Nor Faint When Thou Art Rebuked Of Him:

2 Peter 3:1-5

This Second Epistle, Beloved, I Now Write Unto You; In Both Which I Stir Up Your Pure Minds By Way Of Remembrance: That Ye May Be Mindful Of The Words Which Were Spoken Before By The Holy Prophets, And Of The Commandment Of Us The Apostles Of The Lord And Saviour: Knowing This First, That There Shall Come In The Last Days Scoffers, Walking After Their Own Lusts, And Saying, Where Is The Promise Of His Coming? For Since The Fathers Fell Asleep, All Things Continue As They Were From The Beginning Of The Creation. For This They Willingly Are Ignorant Of, That BY THE WORD OF GOD The Heavens Were Of Old, And The Earth Standing Out Of The Water And In The Water:

Philippians 4:4,8-9

Rejoice In The Lord Alway: And Again I Say, Rejoice.

[8] Finally, Brethren, Whatsoever Things Are True, Whatsoever Things Are Honest, Whatsoever Things Are Just, Whatsoever Things Are Pure, Whatsoever Things Are Lovely, Whatsoever Things Are Of Good Report; If There Be Any Virtue, And If There Be Any Praise, Think On These Things. Those Things, Which Ye Have Both Learned, And Received, And Heard, And Seen In Me, Do: And The God Of Peace Shall Be With You.

Are You Spiritually Down And Depressed?

Do You Feel Like God Has Forsaken You?

Are You Turning To The World For Help?

Are You Turning To Other Religion Books For Help?

Are You Turning To Other Religions?

Then Answer These Two Questions,

Are You Seeking First The Kingdom Of God, And

Are You Hungering And Thirsting For His Righteousness?

If The Answer Is No, That Is Your Problem Spiritually.

We Are To Stir Up Our Pure Minds And Think On Good Things, And We Do That By Reading Our Bible...

When You Don't Fill Your Mind With The Bible Then You Fill It With The World. I Will Always Teach You The Importance Of Reading Your Bible. Listen To Christian Music Instead Of The Worlds. Read Your Bible Instead Of The World's Self-Help Book. Reading Your Bible Helps You To Remember All That Jesus Christ Did, Not Only Did But Did It For You. Reading Your Bible Help Grows Your Faith And Helps Stir Up Your Pure Mind. Be Careful Of Who You Listen To, Even Preacher And Teachers Of The Gospel, You Can Know False Ones By Reading Your Bible. The Bible Is The Word Of God Written In A Love Letter Form.

WE WERE ENEMIES

Romans 5:1-2,8-11,21

Therefore Being Justified By Faith, WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST: By Whom Also We Have Access By Faith Into This Grace Wherein We Stand, And Rejoice In Hope Of The Glory Of God.

[8] But God Commendeth His Love Toward Us, In That, While We Were Yet Sinners, Christ Died For Us. Much More Then, Being Now Justified By His Blood, We Shall Be Saved From Wrath Through Him. For If, When WE WERE ENEMIES, We Were Reconciled To God By The Death Of His Son, Much More, Being Reconciled, We Shall Be Saved By His Life. And Not Only So, But We Also Joy In God Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, By Whom We Have Now Received The Atonement.

[21] That As Sin Hath Reigned Unto Death, Even So Might Grace Reign Through Righteousness Unto Eternal Life By Jesus Christ Our Lord.

1 John 3:1-10

Behold, What Manner Of Love The Father Hath Bestowed Upon Us, That We Should Be Called The Sons Of God: Therefore The World Knoweth Us Not, Because It Knew Him Not. Beloved, NOW ARE WE THE SONS OF GOD, And It Doth Not Yet Appear What We Shall Be: But We Know That, When He Shall Appear, We Shall Be Like Him; For We Shall See Him As He Is. And Every Man That Hath This Hope In Him Purifieth Himself, Even As He Is Pure. Whosoever Committeth Sin Transgresseth Also The Law: For Sin Is The Transgression Of The Law. And Ye Know That He Was Manifested To Take Away Our Sins; And In Him Is No Sin. Whosoever Abideth In Him Sinneth Not: Whosoever Sinneth Hath Not Seen Him, Neither Known Him. Little Children, Let No Man Deceive You: He That Doeth Righteousness Is Righteous, Even As He Is Righteous. He That Committeth Sin Is Of The Devil; For The Devil Sinneth From The Beginning. For This Purpose The Son Of God Was Manifested, That He Might Destroy The Works Of The Devil. Whosoever Is Born Of God Doth Not Commit Sin; For His Seed Remaineth In Him: And He Cannot Sin, Because He Is Born Of God. In This The Children Of God Are Manifest, And The Children Of The Devil: Whosoever Doeth Not Righteousness Is Not Of God, Neither He That Loveth Not His Brother.

WE WERE ENEMIES OF GOD, NOW ARE WE THE SONS OF GOD, AND WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

PRAISE YOU LORD JESUS CHRIST!!!

LET THE WORD OF CHRIST DWELL IN YOU RICHLY IN ALL WISDOM

Philippians 4:4-8

Rejoice in The Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and Supplication with Thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And The Peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are True, whatsoever things are Honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are Pure, whatsoever things are Lovely, whatsoever things are of Good Report; if there be any Virtue, and if there be any Praise, Think On These Things.

Colossians 3:14-17

And above all these things put on Charity, which is the bond of perfectness. And let The Peace Of God Rule in your Hearts, to the which also ye are called in One Body; and Be Ye Thankful. Let The Word Of Christ dwell in you richly in all Wisdom; Teaching and Admonishing one another in Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs, singing with Grace in your hearts to The Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, Do All In The Name of The Lord Jesus, Giving Thanks To God And The Father By Him.

I am a teacher of The Gospel Of Jesus Christ, and I love to Praise, Sing and Talk About The Goodness Of God. I am not big on teaching about sin and the evil of this world. I hate to give any time or place at all talking about satan, I won't even capitalize his ugly name.

I love talking about The Sacrifice Of Jesus Christ And His Glorious Salvation. I love to encourage people To Live The Victorious Life In Christ Jesus. I love to tell others about The Love JESUS CHRIST HAS FOR HIS FATHER and HIS LOVE FOR US. I really love telling learning and telling others about The Peace Jesus Christ Bought Back For Man With God. I love to teach how Jesus Christ Kept The Law Of God For Us, So That We Can Be Reconciled Back To God. I Love To Talk Will Others About Jesus Christ, and I love to study my Bible and Learn.

I said all of that to say that if I ever speak about satan, or evil, it is because The Holy Spirit has led me to do so. It is not a judgment on my part, but a warning. I was the chief established of sinners, as Paul said and I know who I was before Salvation. Has your mother ever told you don't run with that person, well I was the one she warned you about. I am not proud or laughing about who I was, because it took The Blood Of A Living Son Of God To Wash Me And Save My Soul. Jesus Christ Gives Eternal Life And I Am So Thankful, I Want Everyone To Know This Great Salvation, That Is Why I Teach And Write.

Colossians 1:28

Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

Read Your Bible And The Peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

LET THE WORD OF CHRIST DWELL IN YOU RICHLY IN ALL WISDOM.

GOD HATH CALLED US UNTO HOLINESS

1 Thessalonians 4:1-9

Furthermore Then We Beseech You, Brethren, And Exhort You By The Lord Jesus, That As Ye Have Received Of Us How Ye Ought To Walk And To Please God, So Ye Would Abound More And More. For Ye Know What Commandments We Gave You By The Lord Jesus. For This Is The Will Of God, Even Your Sanctification, That Ye Should Abstain From Fornication: That Every One Of You Should Know How To Possess His Vessel In Sanctification And Honour; Not In The Lust Of Concupiscence, Even As The Gentiles Which Know Not God: That No Man Go Beyond And Defraud His Brother In Any Matter: Because That The Lord Is The Avenger Of All Such, As We Also Have Forewarned You And Testified. For God Hath Not Called Us Unto Uncleanness, But Unto Holiness. He Therefore That Despiseth, Despiseth Not Man, But God, Who Hath Also Given Unto Us His Holy Spirit. But As Touching Brotherly Love Ye Need Not That I Write Unto You: For Ye Yourselves Are Taught Of God To Love One Another.

FORNICATION

voluntary sexual intercourse between persons not married to each other

CONCUPISCENCE

strong sexual desire; lust.

DESPISE

1. To regard with utter contempt and disdain:

contemn, disdain, scorn, scout.

Idioms: have no use for, look down on.

2. To regard with extreme dislike and hostility:

abhor, abominate, detest, execrate, hate, loathe.

Some Christians think that other people who are not Saved are below them, and are a waste of space. We have to remember John 3:17,

For God Sent Not His Son Into The World To Condemn The World; But That The World Through Him Might Be Saved.

We are to share The Gospel Of Jesus Christ; it is not our job to Save Souls but to share Jesus. If we do not share Jesus Christ, how will they ever come to repentance for their sins as we did?

1 Peter 2:24-25

Who His Own Self Bare Our Sins In His Own Body On The Tree, That We, Being Dead To Sins, Should Live Unto Righteousness: By Whose Stripes Ye Were Healed. For YE Were As Sheep Going Astray; But Are Now Returned Unto The Shepherd And Bishop Of Your Souls.

Romans 10:13-14

For Whosoever Shall Call Upon The Name Of The Lord Shall Be Saved. How Then Shall They Call On Him In Whom They Have Not Believed? And How Shall They Believe In Him Of Whom They Have Not Heard? And How Shall They Hear Without A Preacher?

It Is True, There Is A Time As Matthew 7:6 Says

Give Not That Which Is Holy Unto The Dogs, Neither Cast Ye Your Pearls Before Swine, Lest They Trample Them Under Their Feet, And Turn Again And Rend You.

I believe that The Holy Spirit will lead you to the person, in His Time and will give you The Word to speak. We try to help God out in our zeal, but it can defeat the purpose and be detrimental to the cause. Always Pray before you go to anyone about Jesus Christ, and make sure God sent you to them. We are to love everyone and Pray for them, we would never want anyone to go to the Lake Of Fire. God Will Judge In His Time, But Right Now Is The Time Of Grace, The Time For Repentance.

LOVE VS HATE

I hear the word hate thrown around a lot by the world, and I started to think about why. Why does the world think that Christians hate them? It is because they are living in the spirit of hate. The spirit of hate is from satan. Remember back when I said that what God Has, Or Who God Is, satan has a counterfeit? God Is Spirit, And God Is Love; but satan is envy, hatred, and murder. God changes people to become Righteous, satan changes people to be unrighteous. God So LOVED The World, That He Gave His Only Begotten Son, He hath Made Him To Be Sin For Us, Who Knew No Sin; that We might Be Made The Righteousness Of God In Him. Does that sound like Love or hate to you? God Loves Us So much That He Sent His Only Begotten, Righteous Son, To Die In Sin For Us. Does that sound like Love or hate to you? Jesus Christ said To Love Your Enemies, Bless Them That Curse You, Do Good To Them That Hate You And Pray For Them Which Despitefulling Use You, And Persecute You.

God Tells His Children To Love and satan tells his children they are hated, so hate first and hate worse. People believe that if you have a different belief than they do, then you hate them, or are persecuting them, which is not true. If we believe differently and share, it is our trying to help,

because we Love, not because we hate. If we hated a person with a different belief then we would just leave them alone. Trying to help people see Truth sounds like hate to some, but others will be thankful. God said Every One That Doeth Evil HATETH The Light, Neither Cometh To The Light, Lest His Deeds Should Be Reproved. But He That Doeth Truth Cometh To The Light, That His Deeds May Be Made Manifest, That They Are Wrought In God. We all should want more Light shed on us and our Deeds, to make sure that they are Wrought In God. If you speak in Love and people hate you, or they think that you are persecuting them by what you say, then it is because they are wrong, and they do not want to know Truth. Never Be Unteachable, always be willing to Love and learn more, be careful of your teachers though, Read Your Bible, And Let More Love, Light, And Truth In By The Power Of The Holy Spirit.

I have to ask if you see a burning house with people in it, would you warn them because you hate them, or would you let them burn up because you love them? NO! YOU WARN PEOPLE OF THE FIRE BECAUSE YOU LOVE THEM! THERE IS A LAKE OF FIRE WAITING FOR THE UNGODLY, I CAN NOT BE QUIET. LOVE PEOPLE ENOUGH TO WARN THEM, TELL THEM ABOUT THE ESCAPE! JESUS CHRIST WENT INTO HELL SO THAT YOU WON'T HAVE TO!

John 3:15-21 That Whosoever Believeth In Him Should Not Perish, But Have Eternal Life. For God So Loved The World, That He Gave His Only Begotten Son, That Whosoever Believeth In Him Should Not Perish, But Have Everlasting Life. For God Sent Not His Son Into The World To Condemn The World; But That The World Through Him Might Be Saved. He That Believeth On Him Is Not Condemned: But He That Believeth Not Is Condemned Already, Because He Hath not Believed In The Name Of The Only Begotten Son Of God. And This Is The Condemnation, That Light Is Come Into The World, And Men Loved Darkness Rather Than Light, Because Their Deeds Were Evil. For Every One That Doeth Evil HATETH The Light, Neither Cometh To The Light, Lest His Deeds Should Be Reproved. But He That Doeth Truth Cometh To The Light, That His Deeds May Be Made Manifest, That They Are Wrought In God.

2 Corinthians 5:21

For He Hath Made Him To Be Sin For Us, Who Knew No Sin; that We Might Be Made The Righteousness Of God In Him.

Matthew 5:44

But I Say Unto You, Love Your Enemies, Bless Them That Curse You, Do Good To Them That Hate You, And Pray For Them Which Despitefulling Use You, And Persecute You;

Revelation 20:14-15

And Death And Hell Were Cast Into The Lake Of Fire. This Is The Second Death. And Whosoever Was Not Found Written In The Book Of Life Was Cast Into The Lake Of Fire.

FAITHLESS OR BELIEVING

Hebrews 11:1,3

Now faith is the substance of things Hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

[3] Through Faith we understand that the worlds were framed by The Word Of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Hebrews 11:30

By Faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.

John 20:27-28

THEN SAITH HE TO THOMAS, REACH HITHER THY FINGER, AND BEHOLD MY HANDS; AND REACH HITHER THY HAND, AND THRUST IT INTO my SIDE: AND BE NOT FAITHLESS, BUT BELIEVING. AND THOMAS ANSWERED and said UNTO HIM, MY LORD AND MY GOD.

Through Faith we know God and His Power. Look at The Scriptures, Faith Is the substance of things Hoped for, nothing was there but Hope Through Faith. God knew He Wanted a substance, so He spoke it into being. Without any evidence of any substance, By His Faith, God Spoke The worlds Into Being. God knows that if He Wants substance where there is nothing, He Just Has To Speak It. Where is our Faith? Are we defeated? Are we distressed? Are we weak? Are we going to be FAITHLESS or BELIEVING?

Read your Bible, The answers to these and all of our questions are in there.

2 Corinthians 4:8-9

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

2 Corinthians 12:10

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Romans 8:35,37-39

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

[37] Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

CHRIST SHALL GIVE THEE LIGHT

John 3:11-21

Verily, Verily, I Say Unto Thee, We Speak That We Do Know, And Testify That We Have Seen; And Ye Receive Not Our Witness. If I Have Told You Earthly Things, And Ye Believe Not, How Shall Ye Believe, If I Tell You Of Heavenly Things? And No Man Hath Ascended Up To Heaven, But He That Came Down From Heaven, Even The Son Of Man Which Is In Heaven. And As Moses Lifted Up The Serpent In The Wilderness, Even So Must The Son Of Man Be Lifted Up: That Whosoever Believeth In Him Should Not Perish, But Have Eternal Life. For God So Loved The World, That He Gave His Only Begotten Son, That Whosoever Believeth In Him Should Not Perish, But Have Everlasting Life. For God Sent Not His Son Into The World To Condemn The World; But That The World Through Him Might Be Saved. He That Believeth On Him Is Not Condemned: But He That Believeth Not Is Condemned Already, Because He Hath Not Believed In The Name Of The Only Begotten Son Of God. And This Is The Condemnation, That Light Is Come Into The World, And Men Loved Darkness Rather Than Light, Because Their Deeds Were Evil. For Every One That Doeth Evil Hateth The Light, Neither Cometh To The Light, Lest His Deeds Should Be Reproved. But He That Doeth Truth Cometh To The Light, That His Deeds May Be Made Manifest, That They Are Wrought In God.

Ephesians 5:9-17

(For The Fruit Of The Spirit Is In All Goodness And Righteousness And Truth;) Proving What Is Acceptable Unto The Lord. And Have No Fellowship With The Unfruitful Works Of Darkness, But Rather Reprove Them. For It Is A Shame Even To Speak Of Those Things Which Are Done Of Them In Secret. But All Things That Are Reproved Are Made Manifest By The Light: For Whatsoever Doth Make Manifest Is Light. Wherefore He Saith, AWAKE THOU THAT SLEEPEST, AND ARISE FROM THE DEAD, AND CHRIST SHALL GIVE THEE LIGHT. See Then That Ye Walk Circumspectly, Not As Fools, But As Wise, Redeeming The Time, Because The Days Are Evil. Wherefore Be Ye Not Unwise, But Understanding What The Will Of The Lord Is.

Colossians 4:5-6

Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

Romans 12:1-2

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living Sacrifice, Holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 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.

Galatians 1:3-5

Grace Be To You And Peace from God The Father, And From Our Lord Jesus Christ, Who Gave Himself For Our Sins, That He Might Deliver Us From This Present Evil World, According To The Will Of God And Our Father: TO WHOM BE GLORY FOR EVER AND EVER. AMEN.

SODOM AND GOMORRAH, USA

Genesis 13:10-13

And Lot Lifted Up His Eyes, And Beheld All The Plain Of Jordan, That It Was Well Watered Every Where, Before The Lord Destroyed Sodom And Gomorrah, Even As The Garden Of The Lord, Like The Land Of Egypt, As Thou Comest Unto Zoar. Then Lot Chose Him All The Plain Of Jordan; And Lot Journeyed East: And They Separated Themselves The One From The Other. Abram Dwelled In The Land Of Canaan, And Lot Dwelled In The Cities Of The Plain, And Pitched His Tent Toward Sodom. But The Men Of Sodom Were Wicked And Sinners Before The Lord Exceedingly.

Genesis 18:20

And the Lord said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;

Genesis 19:24-28

Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of Heaven; And He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord: And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.

2 Peter 2:6-9

AND TURNING THE CITIES OF SODOM AND GOMORRHA INTO ASHES CONDEMNED THEM WITH AN OVERTHROW, MAKING THEM AN ENSAMPLE UNTO THOSE THAT AFTER SHOULD LIVE UNGODLY; And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that Righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his Righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) The Lord knoweth how to deliver the Godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

Jude 1:7

Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Revelation 11:8

And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

Romans 1:18-32

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

For those Christians who cannot make up their minds if homosexuality is still an abomination to God, because of Jesus Christ and His Grace, here are The Holy Scriptures in The New Testament saying it is still an abomination.

Her is where America is today.

President Joe Biden at the White House June 2023 Pride Month reception.

President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden on Saturday welcomed more than 1,000 guests to the largest Pride month celebration ever hosted at the White House.

“Happy Pride Month,” the president said from a stage on the South Lawn. “Happy Pride year,” he added, “happy Pride life.”

The Biden-Harris administration has more openly-LGBTQ people working at every level of government than ever before, Biden noted, and “we’re doing everything we can to advance equality for the LGBTQ community.”

“As commander-in-chief, I was proud to reverse the ban on transgender Americans serving in the United States military. I signed historic executive orders extending civil rights protections for housing, employment, health care, education and the justice system.”

“We’re combatting the dangerous and cruel practice of conversation therapy and launching a new national strategy to end the HIV epidemic by 2030, working with communities to treat and contain the mpox outbreak, and ending the disgraceful practice of banning gay and bisexual men from donating blood.”

Biden said the administration is making LGBTQ equality around the world a top priority, such as by reviewing “our engagement with Uganda following its anti-gay law, the most extreme in the world.”

“Last December, we felt such pride here on the South Lawn when I signed the historic Respect for Marriage Act, which protects the marriages of same-sex and interracial couples.”

Despite this progress, the president said, “real challenges still remain.” For instance, he said, “When a person can be married in the morning and thrown out of the restaurant for being gay in the afternoon, something is still very wrong in America. That’s why the Congress must pass and send me the Equality Act.”

“Joining us today are survivors of Club Q and Pulse,” Biden said, shootings that highlight the importance of implementing the provisions of the bipartisan gun bill passed last year. He added that work must continue with banning assault weapons.

“With families across the country facing excruciating decisions to relocate to a different state to protect their child from dangerous anti LGBTQ laws, we have to act,” Biden said. “We have to act as a nation. We need to push back against the hundreds of callous and cynical bills and laws introduced in states targeting transgender children, terrifying families and criminalizing doctors and nurses.”

“These bills and laws attack the most basic values we have as Americans that’s not hyperbole,” said the president. “It’s a fact.”

“I recognize that for a lot of folks across the country, maybe it’s not you, your kid, your family member going through whatever a transgender child and their family is going through,” Biden said.

“But I think we can all agree,” he said, “if it were you, you’d want the space to figure it out with your family and doctor.”

“So today, I want to send a message to the entire community especially to transgender children. You aren’t alone. You are heard. You are understood … your president, my entire administration has your back!”

“Two days ago, I announced a series of new initiatives we’re taking to protect the LGBTQ community,” Biden said. “First, ensuring your physical safety. Whether you’re organizing a Pride parade, running a small business or just trying to focus at school, you shouldn’t have to deal with bomb threats, harassment, and violent attacks.”

“That’s why the Department of Homeland Security with the support of the Department of Justice and Department Health and Human Services is launching a safety partnership that’s gonna provide critical training and support to the community — dedicated resources to better protect festivals, marches, community centers and businesses.”

Second, said the president. “We’re addressing how the growing threat that book bans violate civil rights law when they target LGBTQ students or students of color and create hostile classroom environments.”

“Third, we’re investing in the future of LGBTQ kids. Last year we launched a nationwide crisis hotline for LGBTQ youth who are feeling isolated and overwhelmed,” said Biden, who also noted initiatives focused on mental health and combatting homelessness among LGBTQ youth.

“You set the example for the nation and quite frankly for the world,” Biden said. “You know, we all move forward when we’re together with your joy, your pride, lighting the way.”

"You're some of the bravest and most inspiring people I've ever known. And I've known a lot of good folks," Biden said. "You set an example for the nation — and quite frankly for the world."

Jude 1:15-25

To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage. But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto Eternal Life. And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To The Only Wise God our Saviour, be Glory and Majesty, Dominion and Power, Both Now And Ever. Amen.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor EFFEMINATE, NOR ABUSERS OF THEMSELVES WITH MANKIND, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. AND SUCH WERE SOME OF YOU: but ye are Washed, but ye are Sanctified, but ye are Justified in The Name Of The Lord Jesus, And By The Spirit Of Our God.

WAKE UP CHRISTIANS AND PRAY!!! WHILE SOME CHRISTIANS ARE STILL MAKING UP THEIR MINDS1 INSTEAD OF READING THEIR BIBLES, OUR COUNTRY IS UNDER SPIRITUAL ATTACK AND SATAN IS WINNING! PRAY FOR YOUR CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN, NEIGHBORS, CITIES, STATES, GOVERNMENT, AND WORLD! JUDGMENT IS COMING! TODAY IS THE TIME OF GRACE, WHICH MEANS A TIME FOR ALL TO REPENT OF SINS, NOT TO CONTINUE IN THEM, FREELY ACTING THEM OUT WITHOUT REPENTANCE. SODOM AND GOMORRAH IS BEING LIVED OUT BEFORE OUR VERY EYES!

PRAY LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER PRAYED BEFORE AND DO NOT STOP, THIS DAY IS EVIL AND GETTING WORSE.

Effeminate Definition & Meaning

(of a man or boy) having traits, tastes, habits, etc., traditionally considered feminine, as softness or delicacy

FRUIT UNTO GOD

John 15:1-14

I am The True Vine, and My Father is the Husband man. Every branch in Me that beareth not fruit He taketh away: and every branch that beareth Fruit, He purgeth it, that it may bring forth more Fruit. Now ye are clean through the Word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in The Vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in Me. I am The Vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much Fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in Me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is My Father Glorified, that ye bear much Fruit; so shall ye be My Disciples. AS THE FATHER HATH LOVED ME, SO HAVE I LOVED YOU: CONTINUE YE IN MY LOVE. If ye keep My Commandments, ye shall abide in My Love; Even As I Have Kept My Father's Commandments, And Abide In His Love. These things have I spoken unto you, that My Joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. THIS IS MY COMMANDMENT, THAT YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, AS I HAVE LOVED YOU. Greater Love Hath No Man Than This, That A Man Lay Down His Life For His Friends. Ye Are My Friends, If Ye Do Whatsoever I Command You.

Romans 7:4

Wherefore, My brethren, Ye Also Are Become Dead To The Law By The Body Of Christ; That Ye Should Be Married To Another, Even To Him Who Is Raised From The Dead, That We Should Bring Forth Fruit Unto God.

Galatians 5:13-26

For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all The Law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. This I say then, Walk in The Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against The Spirit, and The Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of The Spirit, ye are not under The Law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit The Kingdom Of God. But The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Love, Joy, Peace, Long-suffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance: against such there is no law. And They That Are Christ's Have Crucified The Flesh With The Affections And Lusts. If we live in The Spirit, let us also walk in The Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

LIVING STONE

1 Peter 2:4-9

To Whom coming, as unto a LIVING STONE, disallowed indeed of men, but CHOSEN OF GOD, AND PRECIOUS, Ye also, as Lively Stones, are built up a Spiritual House, an Holy Priesthood, to offer up Spiritual Sacrifices, acceptable to God By Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the Scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a Chief Corner Stone, Elect, Precious: and he that believeth on Him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe He Is Precious: but unto them which be disobedient, The Stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made The Head of the corner, And a Stone of stumbling, and a Rock of offence, even to them which stumble at The Word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. But ye are a Chosen generation, a Royal Priesthood, an Holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the Praises Of Him Who hath called you out of darkness into His Marvellous Light:

Luke 20:17-18

And He beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The Stone which the builders rejected, The Same Is Become The Head Of The Corner? Whosoever shall fall upon that Stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever It shall fall, It will grind him to powder.

2 Corinthians 3:3-17

Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit Of The Living God; NOT IN TABLES OF STONE, but in fleshy tables of the heart. And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; BUT OUR SUFFICIENCY IS OF God; Who also hath made us able MINISTERS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT; not of The Letter, but of The Spirit: for The Letter killeth, but THE SPIRIT GIVETH LIFE. But if the ministration of death, Written and Engraven in Stones, was Glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the Glory of his countenance; which Glory was to be done away: How shall not the ministration of The Spirit Be Rather Glorious? For if the ministration of condemnation be Glory, Much More Doth The Ministration Of Righteousness Exceed In Glory. For even that which was made Glorious had no Glory in this respect, by reason of the Glory that excelleth. For if that which is done away was Glorious, MUCH MORE THAT WHICH REMAINETH IS GLORIOUS. Seeing then that we have such Hope, we use great plainness of speech: And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of The Old Testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. NOW The LORD IS THAT SPIRIT: AND WHERE The SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS, THERE IS LIBERTY.

Matthew 5:3-16

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the Kingdom Of Heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after Righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the Children Of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for Righteousness' sake: for theirs is The Kingdom Of Heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in Heaven: for so persecuted they the Prophets which were before you. Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye Are The Light Of The World. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men Light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth Light unto all that are in the house. Let Your Light So Shine before men, that they may see your good works, and Glorify your Father which is in Heaven.

2 Timothy 2:1-4

Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the Grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please Him Who Hath Chosen Him To Be A Soldier.

Ephesians 6:10-18

Finally, my brethren, Be Strong in The Lord, And In The Power Of His Might. Put On The Whole Armour Of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you The Whole Armour Of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with Truth, and having on the breastplate of Righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel Of Peace; Above all, taking the shield of Faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of Salvation, and The Sword Of The Spirit, Which Is The Word Of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in The Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all Saints;

We are going to face hard times in this world, but we are to face that hardness as good soldiers of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ has chosen us to endure the persecution, He has also equipped us to endure. We are to Stand In The Power Of His Might and not our own. If The Lord Has Called You To Do His Work, Then know you are not working under your power, but His. ENDURE

Titus 2:1-8

But Speak Thou The Things Which Become Sound Doctrine: That The Aged Men Be Sober, Grave, Temperate, Sound In Faith, In Charity, In Patience. The Aged Women Likewise, That They Be In Behaviour As Becometh Holiness, Not False Accusers, Not Given To Much Wine, Teachers Of Good Things; That They May Teach The Young Women To Be Sober, To Love Their Husbands, To Love Their Children, To Be Discreet, Chaste, Keepers At Home, Good, Obedient To Their Own Husbands, That The Word Of God Be Not Blasphemed. Young Men Likewise Exhort To Be Sober Minded. In All Things Shewing Thyself A Pattern Of Good Works: In Doctrine Shewing Uncorruptness, Gravity, Sincerity, Sound Speech, That Cannot Be Condemned; That He That Is Of The Contrary Part May Be Ashamed, Having No Evil Thing To Say Of You.

1 Timothy 4:6-16

If Thou Put The Brethren In Remembrance Of These Things, Thou Shalt Be A Good Minister Of Jesus Christ, Nourished Up In The Words Of Faith And Of Good Doctrine, Whereunto Thou Hast Attained. But Refuse Profane And Old Wives' Fables, And Exercise Thyself Rather Unto Godliness. For Bodily Exercise Profiteth Little: But Godliness Is Profitable Unto All Things, Having Promise Of The Life That Now Is, And Of That Which Is To Come. This Is A Faithful Saying And Worthy Of All Acceptation. For Therefore We Both Labour And Suffer Reproach, Because We Trust In The Living God, Who Is The Saviour Of All Men, Specially Of Those That Believe. THESE THINGS COMMAND AND TEACH. Let No Man Despise Thy Youth; But Be Thou An EXAMPLE Of The Believers, In Word, In Conversation, In Charity, In Spirit, In Faith, In Purity. Till I Come, Give Attendance To Reading, To Exhortation, To Doctrine. Neglect Not The Gift That Is In Thee, Which Was Given Thee By Prophecy, With The Laying On Of The Hands Of The Presbytery. Meditate Upon These Things; Give Thyself Wholly To Them; That Thy Profiting May Appear To All. Take Heed Unto Thyself, And Unto The Doctrine; Continue In Them: For In Doing This Thou Shalt Both Save Thyself, And Them That Hear Thee.

1 Peter 5:1-11

The Elders Which Are Among You I Exhort, Who Am Also An Elder, And A Witness Of The Sufferings Of Christ, And Also A Partaker Of The Glory That Shall Be Revealed: Feed The Flock Of God Which Is Among You, Taking The Oversight Thereof, Not By Constraint, But Willingly; Not For Filthy Lucre, But Of A Ready Mind; Neither As Being Lords Over God's Heritage, But Being ENSAMPLES To The Flock. And When The Chief Shepherd Shall Appear, Ye Shall Receive A Crown Of Glory That Fadeth Not Away. Likewise, Ye Younger, Submit Yourselves Unto The Elder. Yea, All Of You Be Subject One To Another, And Be Clothed With Humility: For God Resisteth The Proud, And Giveth Grace To The Humble. Humble Yourselves Therefore Under The Mighty Hand Of God, That He May Exalt You In Due Time: Casting All Your Care Upon Him; For He Careth For You. Be Sober, Be Vigilant; Because Your Adversary The Devil, As A Roaring Lion, Walketh About, Seeking Whom He May Devour: Whom Resist Stedfast In The Faith, Knowing That The Same Afflictions Are Accomplished In Your Brethren That Are In The World. But The God Of All Grace, Who Hath Called Us Unto His Eternal Glory By Christ Jesus, After That Ye Have Suffered A While, Make You Perfect, Stablish, Strengthen, Settle You. To Him Be Glory And Dominion For Ever And Ever. Amen.

Because of all the things happening throughout the world today, True Christians need to be strong ensamples.

With the Truth deteriorating from within the government, society, and Churches, those who know The Word Of God should be shouting The Pure Word Of God from rooftops. Christians are called extremists and hate groups because of our love for Jesus Christ and The Word Of God. We need to know The Word Of God and share it.

Evil is rampant throughout the world, and Christians need to teach the world by example that there is Forgiveness, Love, Peace, and Eternal Life found only in Christ Jesus.

ENSAMPLE: A pattern; a copy; a mode; that which is proposed to be imitated, an example.

THE SPIRIT IS LIFE BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

Romans 7:9

For I was alive without The Law once: but when The Commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

Luke 20:35-36

But they which shall be Accounted Worthy To Obtain That World, And The Resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the Angels; And Are The Children Of God, Being The Children Of The Resurrection.

Romans 7:4

Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to The Law By The Body Of Christ; that ye should be married to Another, even to Him Who Is Raised From The Dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

1 Peter 2:24

Who His Own Self Bare Our Sins In His Own Body On The Tree, That We, Being Dead To Sins, Should Live Unto Righteousness: By Whose Stripes Ye Were Healed.

Romans 6:5-11

For if we have been planted together in the likeness of His Death, we shall be also in the likeness of His Resurrection: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that HENCEFORTH we should not serve sin. For He That Is Dead Is Freed From Sin. Now If We Be Dead With Christ, We Believe That We Shall Also Live With Him: Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over Him. For in that He died, He Died Unto Sin Once: but in that He liveth, He Liveth Unto God.

Likewise Reckon Ye Also Yourselves To Be Dead Indeed Unto Sin, But Alive Unto God Through Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Sin in our flesh made us dead, But Righteousness Made Our Spirit Alive!

Our flesh is dead because we have been Crucified With Christ Jesus at Salvation and we are no longer sinners. We are no longer under The Law that made us dead, because of our flesh, we are under Grace.

Romans 6:14

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under The Law, But Under Grace.

Romans 7:6

But now we are delivered from The Law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in Newness Of Spirit, and not in The Oldness Of The Letter.

Galatians 2:20-21

I Am Crucified With Christ: nevertheless I Live; Yet Not I, But Christ Liveth In Me: And The Life Which I Now Live In The Flesh I Live By The Faith Of The Son Of God, Who Loved Me, And Gave Himself For Me. I Do Not Frustrate The Grace Of God: For If Righteousness Come By The Law, Then Christ Is Dead In Vain.

Romans 8:1-4,8-10

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after The Spirit. For The Law Of The Spirit Of Life In Christ Jesus hath made me free from The Law Of Sin And Death. For what The Law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His Own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in The Flesh: That The Righteousness Of The Law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after The Spirit.

[8] So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in The Spirit, if so be that The Spirit Of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not The Spirit Of Christ, he is none of His. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but The Spirit Is Life Because Of Righteousness.

RESURRECTION: The act of restoring a dead person, for example, to life, The act of bringing back.

BOW VS FLAG

I heard a man speak today about The Chosen production company and the crew AND THE RAINBOW FLAG. Dallas Jenkins (born July 25, 1975) is an American film and television director, writer, and film producer. He is best known as the creator, director, and co-writer of The Chosen, the first multi-season series about the life of Jesus of Nazareth. Mr. Jenkins's career is focused on faith-based media.

Mr. Jenkins gave an explanation of the pride flag on his set. I suggest you google his video and listen to make sure what I am saying is true.

Now, Mr. Jenkins said they hire contractors to work on his production, and not all are Christians. Mr. Jenkins said they hire anyone and everyone to work for them and he has no religious requirements to be a part of The Chosen tv show. He says that they are like a family and he doesn't police them or their social media post, they are their own people with their own beliefs. Mr. Jenkins says he might not agree with them, but he is okay with them working on his sets. Mr. Jenkins said he has several other productions that are not all Faith Based. Mr. Jenkins said that the production company is full profit, they are paid for their productions, and they are not a Ministry in particular. Mr. Jenkins said they are not a nonprofit organization, so remember that they are working for money. You can make up your own mind on this situation.

I do want to bring to your mind What God has, satan has a counterfeit. God has the Bow in the sky as a reminder He will not destroy the earth with water again, I cannot help but believe satan uses the rainbow flag to remind us that he is going to destroy all of the earth that he can. God Has His Holy Son, satan has his demons. God Has His Holy Word For His Children, satan has his books for those who practice curious arts. The list can go on and on, but just know satan wants to be God and will never be, and on a pole in the ski is as high as his flag will ever fly. The Bow Of God Is And Always Will Be The Creation Of God. I WILL NOT LET satan STEAL THE BEAUTIFUL TOKEN FROM ME! GOD IS GOD AND ALWAYS WILL BE! Now, back to our position on the matter of working and getting along with others, I have to say we are to live and witness to all, but not condone sin or have pleasure in their sin. We are to be separate from the works of evil. As Christians, we are to have standards and convictions to live by, and those standards and convictions are in The Holy Bible taught to us By His Holy Spirit. I always will be reminded to be careful of what we watch and read, just because we think it is a Christian Ministry does not mean that is.

This is why it is so important for us to read our Bibles!

Genesis 9:13-15

I do set My BOW in the cloud, and it shall be for a Token Of A Covenant between Me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the BOW shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember My Covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

2 Corinthians 6:17-18

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Romans 1:32

Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Acts 19:19

Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.

Ephesians 5:8

For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

THE BODY IS DEAD BECAUSE OF SIN

THE BODY IS DEAD BECAUSE OF SIN;

Romans 6:1-11

What Shall We Say Then? Shall We Continue In Sin, That Grace May Abound?

GOD FORBID Shall We, That Are Dead To Sin, Live Any Longer Therein? Know Ye Not, That So Many Of Us As Were Baptized Into Jesus Christ Were Baptized Into His Death? Therefore WE ARE BURIED WITH HIM BY BAPTISM INTO DEATH: THAT LIKE AS CHRIST WAS RAISED UP FROM THE DEAD BY THE GLORY OF THE FATHER, EVEN SO WE ALSO SHOULD WALK IN NEWNESS OF LIFE. FOR IF WE HAVE BEEN PLANTED TOGETHER IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS DEATH, WE SHALL BE ALSO IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS RESURRECTION: KNOWING THIS, THAT OUR OLD MAN IS CRUCIFIED WITH HIM, THAT THE BODY OF SIN MIGHT BE DESTROYED, That Henceforth We Should Not Serve Sin. FOR HE THAT IS DEAD IS FREED FROM SIN. NOW IF WE BE DEAD WITH CHRIST, WE BELIEVE THAT WE SHALL ALSO LIVE WITH HIM: Knowing That Christ Being Raised From The Dead Dieth No More; Death Hath No More Dominion Over Him. For In That He Died, He Died Unto Sin Once: But In That He Liveth, He Liveth Unto God. LIKEWISE RECKON YE ALSO YOURSELVES TO BE DEAD INDEED UNTO SIN, BUT ALIVE UNTO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.

Romans 7:4

Wherefore, My Brethren, Ye Also Are Become Dead To The Law By The Body Of Christ; That Ye Should Be Married To Another, Even To Him Who Is Raised From The Dead, That We Should Bring Forth Fruit Unto God.

1 Corinthians 15:21

For Since By Man Came Death, By Man Came Also The Resurrection Of The Dead.

Romans 8:10

And If Christ Be In You, The Body Is Dead Because Of Sin; But The Spirit Is Life Because Of Righteousness.

Romans 6:13-18

Neither Yield Ye Your Members As Instruments Of Unrighteousness Unto Sin: But Yield Yourselves Unto God, As Those That Are Alive From The Dead, And Your Members As Instruments Of Righteousness Unto God. For Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over You: For Ye Are Not Under The Law, But Under Grace. What Then? Shall We Sin, Because We Are Not Under The Law, But Under Grace? God Forbid. Know Ye Not, That To Whom Ye Yield Yourselves Servants To Obey, His Servants Ye Are To Whom Ye Obey; Whether Of Sin Unto Death, Or Of Obedience Unto Righteousness? But God Be Thanked, That Ye Were The Servants Of Sin, But Ye Have Obeyed From The Heart That Form Of Doctrine Which Was Delivered You. BEING THEN MADE FREE FROM SIN, YE BECAME THE SERVANTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Romans 8:6-9

For To Be Carnally Minded Is Death; BUT TO BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED IS LIFE AND PEACE. Because The Carnal Mind Is Enmity Against God: For It Is Not Subject To The Law Of God, Neither Indeed Can Be. So Then They That Are In The Flesh Cannot Please God. BUT YE ARE NOT IN THE FLESH, BUT IN THE SPIRIT, IF SO BE THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELL IN YOU. NOW IF ANY MAN HAVE NOT THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, HE IS NONE OF HIS.

Galatians 5:25

IF WE LIVE IN THE SPIRIT, LET US ALSO WALK IN THE SPIRIT.

GOD SO LOVED

John 3:16-17

For GOD SO LOVED The World, That He Gave His Only Begotten Son, That Whosoever Believeth In Him Should Not Perish, But Have Everlasting Life. For God Sent Not His Son Into The World To Condemn The World; But That The World Through Him Might Be Saved.

Romans 5:8-10

But God Commendeth His Love Toward Us, In That, While We Were Yet Sinners, Christ Died For Us. Much More Then, Being Now Justified By His Blood, We Shall Be Saved From Wrath Through Him. For If, When We Were Enemies, We Were Reconciled To God By The Death Of His Son, Much More, Being Reconciled, We Shall Be Saved By His Life.

Ephesians 2:4-6

But God, Who Is Rich In Mercy, For His Great Love Wherewith He Loved Us, Even When We Were Dead In Sins, Hath Quickened Us Together With Christ, (By Grace Ye Are Saved;) And Hath Raised Us Up Together, And Made Us Sit Together In Heavenly Places In Christ Jesus:

1 John 4:9-13

In This Was Manifested The Love Of God Toward Us, Because That God Sent His Only Begotten Son Into The World, That We Might Live Through Him. Herein Is Love, Not That We Loved God, But That He Loved Us, And Sent His Son To Be The Propitiation For Our Sins. Beloved, If God So Loved Us, We Ought Also To Love One Another. No Man Hath Seen God At Any Time. If We Love One Another, God Dwelleth In Us, And His Love Is Perfected In Us. Hereby Know We That We Dwell In Him, And He In Us, Because He Hath Given Us Of His Spirit.

2 Thessalonians 2:16-17

Now Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, And God, Even Our Father, Which Hath Loved Us, And Hath Given Us Everlasting Consolation And Good Hope Through Grace, Comfort Your Hearts, And Stablish You In Every Good Word And Work.

1 John 4:7-8

Beloved, Let Us Love One Another: For Love Is Of God; And Every One That Loveth Is Born Of God, And Knoweth God. He That Loveth Not Knoweth Not God; For God Is Love.

Before I was Saved, I thought I knew what love was, but I did not. I knew what the world calls love, but not True Pure Love that can only be in us through The Holy Spirit Of God. True Pure Love is The Love you receive at Salvation. God Loves us with His Righteous Love and shows it through everything He does. God Commended (present as suitable for approval or acceptance) His Love Toward Us In That While We Were Yet Sinners, God Sent His Holy Righteous Son to die and give His Righteousness to us at Salvation. God Thought Us Worthy To Receive His Righteousness And Salvation. Can You Remember The Person You Were Before Salvation? I Can, Yet God So Rich In His Mercy, Saved Me. God knew who we were before Salvation, but He also knew what He could make us into. The Love Of God works on and in us and transforms us into who God wants us to be. Every day The Love Of God removes what diseases Him and replaces it with what does.

The True Pure, And Righteous Love We Received From God At Salvation Is The Same Love We Are To Love Others With.

True Pure Love, Is Righteous; No One Can Know True Pure Love Without Knowing The God Who Created It.

God Is Righteous And Requires Righteousness In All Of His Creation.
