BE YE THEREFORE WISE AS SERPENTS, AND HARMLESS AS DOVES

BE YE THEREFORE WISE AS SERPENTS, AND HARMLESS AS DOVES.

Luke 10:2-3 

Therefore Said He Unto Them, The Harvest Truly Is Great, But The Labourers Are Few: Pray Ye Therefore The Lord Of The Harvest, That He Would Send Forth Labourers Into His Harvest. Go Your Ways: Behold, I Send You Forth As Lambs Among Wolves.

Matthew 10:16 

Behold, I Send You Forth As Sheep In The Midst Of Wolves: BE YE THEREFORE WISE AS SERPENTS, AND HARMLESS AS DOVES.

Colossians 4:2-6 

Continue In Prayer, And Watch In The Same With Thanksgiving; Withal Praying Also For Us, That God Would Open Unto Us A Door Of Utterance, To Speak The Mystery Of Christ, For Which I Am Also In Bonds: That I May Make It Manifest, As I Ought To Speak. 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.

Ephesians 5:14-20 

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. And Be Not Drunk With Wine, Wherein Is Excess; But Be Filled With The Spirit; Speaking To Yourselves In Psalms And Hymns And Spiritual Songs, Singing And Making Melody In Your Heart To The Lord; Giving Thanks Always For All Things Unto God And The Father In The Name Of Our Lord Jesus Christ;

1 Peter 3:15-18 

But Sanctify The Lord God In Your Hearts: And Be Ready Always To Give An Answer To Every Man That Asketh You A Reason Of The Hope That Is In You With Meekness And Fear: Having A Good Conscience; That, Whereas They Speak Evil Of You, As Of Evildoers, They May Be Ashamed That Falsely Accuse Your Good Conversation In Christ. For It Is Better, If The Will Of God Be So, That Ye Suffer For Well Doing, Than For Evil Doing. For Christ Also Hath Once Suffered For Sins, The Just For The Unjust, That He Might Bring Us To God, Being Put To Death In The Flesh, But Quickened By The Spirit:

2 Peter 3:9-18

The Lord Is Not Slack Concerning His Promise, As Some Men Count Slackness; But Is Longsuffering To Us-ward, Not Willing That Any Should Perish, But That All Should Come To Repentance. But The Day Of The Lord Will Come As A Thief In The Night; In The Which The Heavens Shall Pass Away With A Great Noise, And The Elements Shall Melt With Fervent Heat, The Earth Also And The Works That Are Therein Shall Be Burned Up. Seeing Then That All These Things Shall Be Dissolved, What Manner Of Persons Ought Ye To Be In All Holy Conversation And Godliness, Looking For And Hasting Unto The Coming Of The Day Of God, Wherein The Heavens Being On Fire Shall Be Dissolved, And The Elements Shall Melt With Fervent Heat? Nevertheless We, According To His Promise, Look For New Heavens And A New Earth, Wherein Dwelleth Righteousness. Wherefore, Beloved, Seeing That Ye Look For Such Things, Be Diligent That Ye May Be Found Of Him In Peace, Without Spot, And Blameless. And Account That The Longsuffering Of Our Lord Is Salvation; Even As Our Beloved Brother Paul Also According To The Wisdom Given Unto Him Hath Written Unto You; As Also In All His Epistles, Speaking In Them Of These Things; In Which Are Some Things Hard To Be Understood, Which They That Are Unlearned And Unstable Wrest, As They Do Also The Other Scriptures, Unto Their Own Destruction. 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. 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.

THIS IS WHY JESUS CHRIST WAS BORN OF A VIRGIN

THIS IS WHY JESUS CHRIST WAS BORN OF A VIRGIN

Revelation 16:1 

And I Heard A Great Voice Out Of The Temple Saying To The Seven Angels, Go Your Ways, And Pour Out The Vials Of The Wrath Of God Upon The Earth.

Romans 1:18 

For The Wrath Of God Is Revealed From Heaven Against All Ungodliness And Unrighteousness Of Men, Who Hold The Truth In Unrighteousness;

Galatians 3:10 

For As Many As Are Of The Works Of The Law Are Under The Curse: For It Is Written, Cursed Is Every One That Continueth Not In All Things Which Are Written In The Book Of The Law To Do Them.

Galatians 4:4-6 

But When The Fulness Of The Time Was Come, God Sent Forth His Son, Made Of A Woman, Made Under The Law, To Redeem Them That Were Under The Law, That We Might Receive The Adoption Of Sons. And Because Ye Are Sons, God Hath Sent Forth The Spirit Of His Son Into Your Hearts, Crying, Abba, Father.

Romans 8:9 

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.

Ephesians 2:15-16 

Having Abolished In His Flesh The Enmity, Even The Law Of Commandments Contained In Ordinances; For To Make In Himself Of Twain One New Man, So Making Peace; And That He Might Reconcile Both Unto God In One Body By The Cross, Having Slain The Enmity Thereby:

Galatians 3:13 

Christ Hath Redeemed Us From The Curse Of The Law, Being Made A Curse For Us: For It Is Written, Cursed Is Every One That Hangeth On A Tree:

Acts 2:27,31 

Because Thou Wilt Not Leave My Soul In Hell, Neither Wilt Thou Suffer Thine Holy One To See Corruption. 

[31] He Seeing This Before Spake Of The Resurrection Of Christ, That His Soul Was Not Left In Hell, Neither His Flesh Did See Corruption.

Many People Know About The Birth Of Christ Jesus But Do Not Know Why He Was Born.

Many People Know About The Word Saved But Do Not Know What They Are Saved From. 

Many People Know About The Sin Of Adam And Eve But Do Not Know How Jesus Christ Reconciled Us Back To God. 

Many People Know About The Holy Spirit But Do Not Know Who The Holy Spirit Is. 

Many People Know About Hell But Do Not Know That Jesus Christ Went There So We Don't Have To. 

Romans 8:1-4

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.

THIS IS WHY JESUS CHRIST WAS BORN OF A VIRGIN.

GRACE BE UNTO YOU

GRACE BE UNTO YOU

John 12:42-50

Nevertheless Among The Chief Rulers Also Many Believed On Him; But Because Of The Pharisees They Did Not Confess Him, Lest They Should Be Put Out Of The Synagogue: For They Loved The Praise Of Men More Than The Praise Of God. Jesus Cried And Said, He That Believeth On Me, Believeth Not On Me, But On Him That Sent Me. And He That Seeth Me Seeth Him That Sent Me. I Am Come A Light Into The World, That Whosoever Believeth On Me Should Not Abide In Darkness. And If Any Man Hear My Words, And Believe Not, I Judge Him Not: For I Came Not To Judge The World, But To Save The World. He That Rejecteth Me, And Receiveth Not My Words, Hath One That Judgeth Him: The Word That I Have Spoken, The Same Shall Judge Him In The Last Day. For I Have Not Spoken Of Myself; But The Father Which Sent Me, He Gave Me A Commandment, What I Should Say, And What I Should Speak. And I Know That His Commandment Is Life Everlasting: Whatsoever I Speak Therefore, Even As The Father Said Unto Me, So I Speak.

1 Corinthians 1:9 

God Is Faithful, By Whom Ye Were Called Unto The Fellowship Of His Son Jesus Christ Our Lord.

1 Corinthians 1:3-8 

GRACE BE UNTO YOU, And Peace, From God Our Father, And From The Lord Jesus Christ. I Thank My God Always On Your Behalf, For The Grace Of God Which Is Given You By Jesus Christ; That In Every Thing Ye Are Enriched By Him, In All Utterance, And In All Knowledge; Even As The Testimony Of Christ Was Confirmed In You: So That Ye Come Behind In No Gift; Waiting For The Coming Of Our Lord Jesus Christ: Who Shall Also Confirm You Unto The End, That Ye May Be Blameless In The Day Of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Thessalonians 5:18-24 

In Every Thing Give Thanks: For This Is The Will Of God In Christ Jesus Concerning You. Quench Not The Spirit. Despise Not Prophesyings. Prove All Things; Hold Fast That Which Is Good. Abstain From All Appearance Of Evil. And The Very God Of Peace Sanctify You Wholly; And I Pray God Your Whole Spirit And Soul And Body Be Preserved Blameless Unto The Coming Of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful Is He That Calleth You, Who Also Will Do It.

1 Thessalonians 5:27-28 

I Charge You By The Lord That This Epistle Be Read Unto All The Holy Brethren. The Grace Of Our Lord Jesus Christ Be With You. Amen.

BE REAL

BE REAL

Colossians 3:17 

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.

Matthew 10:22 

And Ye Shall Be Hated Of All Men For My Name's Sake: But He That Endureth To The End Shall Be Saved.

Be genuine in whatever you do. 

There are enough phonies in the world, and as Christians, we need to be authentic. You will be ridiculed or even hated, but be real.

I have noticed lately all the phoniness in people, whether they say they are Christians or even so-called conservative Republicans, just phonies. The ones who say all the right things to gain a following. People will say whatever it takes to gain popularity because in popularity comes wealth, fame, and success. People trying to get your attention will say precisely what you want to hear, so be careful to listen more than a time or two before you believe them. There is an example I'm going to use, but I won't mention the name of the person.  This person is running for president under the conservative party label. They say all of the right things, like smaller government and protecting our borders, and we stand with Israel. This person also tells Disney to come to my state, and we will be happy to have you.  What is wrong with that, you may ask? Well, you haven't been keeping up with the Disney corporation lately. Disney has taken on the WOKE agenda and is not the same corporation you grew up with. So the WOKE agenda is not only the use of the correct pronouns and gay pride, but it is also that black and brown people are being oppressed, and the white people are the oppressors. This world is evil, and we know it will only get worse, but that is okay; God warns us of that in His Word. As Christians, we need to be real and instant in and out of season, not just when it helps us gain popularity. 

Jeremiah 9:8 

Their Tongue Is As An Arrow Shot Out; It Speaketh Deceit: One Speaketh Peaceably To His Neighbour With His Mouth, But In Heart He Layeth His Wait.

2 Timothy 4:1-4 

I Charge Thee Therefore Before God, And The Lord Jesus Christ, Who Shall Judge The Quick And The Dead At His Appearing And His Kingdom; Preach The Word; Be Instant In Season, Out Of Season; Reprove, Rebuke, Exhort With All Longsuffering And Doctrine. For The Time Will Come When They Will Not Endure Sound Doctrine; But After Their Own Lusts Shall They Heap To Themselves Teachers, Having Itching Ears; And They Shall Turn Away Their Ears From The Truth, And Shall Be Turned Unto Fables.

John 17:1-26 

These Words Spake Jesus, And Lifted Up His Eyes To Heaven, And Said, Father, The Hour Is Come; Glorify Thy Son, That Thy Son Also May Glorify Thee: As Thou Hast Given Him Power Over All Flesh, That He Should Give Eternal Life To As Many As Thou Hast Given Him. And This Is Life Eternal, That They Might Know Thee The Only True God, And Jesus Christ, Whom Thou Hast Sent. I Have Glorified Thee On The Earth: I Have Finished The Work Which Thou Gavest Me To Do. And Now, O Father, Glorify Thou Me With Thine Own Self With The Glory Which I Had With Thee Before The World Was. I Have Manifested Thy Name Unto The Men Which Thou Gavest Me Out Of The World: Thine They Were, And Thou Gavest Them Me; And They Have Kept Thy Word. Now They Have Known That All Things Whatsoever Thou Hast Given Me Are Of Thee. For I Have Given Unto Them The Words Which Thou Gavest Me; And They Have Received Them, And Have Known Surely That I Came Out From Thee, And They Have Believed That Thou Didst Send Me. I Pray For Them: I Pray Not For The World, But For Them Which Thou Hast Given Me; For They Are Thine. And All Mine Are Thine, And Thine Are Mine; And I Am Glorified In Them. And Now I Am No More In The World, But These Are In The World, And I Come To Thee. Holy Father, Keep Through Thine Own Name Those Whom Thou Hast Given Me, That They May Be One, As We Are. While I Was With Them In The World, I Kept Them In Thy Name: Those That Thou Gavest Me I Have Kept, And None Of Them Is Lost, But The Son Of Perdition; That The Scripture Might Be Fulfilled. And Now Come I To Thee; And These Things I Speak In The World, That They Might Have My Joy Fulfilled In Themselves. I Have Given Them Thy Word; And The World Hath Hated Them, Because They Are Not Of The World, Even As I Am Not Of The World. I Pray Not That Thou Shouldest Take Them Out Of The World, But That Thou Shouldest Keep Them From The Evil. They Are Not Of The World, Even As I Am Not Of The World. Sanctify Them Through Thy Truth: Thy Word Is Truth. As Thou Hast Sent Me Into The World, Even So Have I Also Sent Them Into The World. And For Their Sakes, I Sanctify Myself, That They Also Might Be Sanctified Through The Truth. Neither Pray I For These Alone, But For Them Also Which Shall Believe On Me Through Their Word; That They All May Be One; As Thou, Father, Art In Me, And I In Thee, That They Also May Be One In Us: That The World May Believe That Thou Hast Sent Me. And The Glory Which Thou Gavest Me I Have Given Them; That They May Be One, Even As We Are One: I In Them, And Thou In Me, That They May Be Made Perfect In One; And That The World May Know That Thou Hast Sent Me, And Hast Loved Them, As Thou Hast Loved Me. Father, I Will That They Also, Whom Thou Hast Given Me, Be With Me Where I Am; That They May Behold My Glory, Which Thou Hast Given Me: For Thou Lovedst Me Before The Foundation Of The World. O Righteous Father, The World Hath Not Known Thee: But I Have Known Thee, And These Have Known That Thou Hast Sent Me. And I Have Declared Unto Them Thy Name, And Will Declare It: That The Love Wherewith Thou Hast Loved Me May Be In Them, And I In Them.

2 Timothy 3:12-17 

Yea, And All That Will Live Godly In Christ Jesus Shall Suffer Persecution. But Evil Men And Seducers Shall Wax Worse And Worse, Deceiving, And Being Deceived. But Continue Thou In The Things Which Thou Hast Learned And Hast Been Assured Of, Knowing Of Whom Thou Hast Learned Them; And That From A Child Thou Hast Known The Holy Scriptures, Which Are Able To Make Thee Wise Unto Salvation Through Faith Which Is In Christ Jesus. All Scripture Is Given By Inspiration Of God, And Is Profitable For Doctrine, For Reproof, For Correction, For Instruction In Righteousness: That The Man Of God May Be Perfect, Throughly Furnished Unto All Good Works.

POWER OF HIS WILL

POWER OF HIS WILL 

Luke 10:18-20 

And He Said Unto Them, I Beheld Satan As Lightning Fall From Heaven. Behold, I Give Unto You Power To Tread On Serpents And Scorpions, And Over All The Power Of The Enemy: And Nothing Shall By Any Means Hurt You. Notwithstanding In This Rejoice Not, That The Spirits Are Subject Unto You; But Rather Rejoice, Because Your Names Are Written In Heaven.

Colossians 1:16-17 

For By Him Were All Things Created, That Are In Heaven, And That Are In Earth, Visible And Invisible, Whether They Be Thrones, Or Dominions, Or Principalities, Or Powers: All Things Were Created By Him, And For Him: And He Is Before All Things, And By Him All Things Consist.

2 Peter 1:2-4 

Grace And Peace Be Multiplied Unto You Through The Knowledge Of God, And Of Jesus Our Lord, According As His Divine Power Hath Given Unto Us All Things That Pertain Unto Life And Godliness, Through The Knowledge Of Him That Hath Called Us To Glory And Virtue: Whereby Are Given Unto Us Exceeding Great And Precious Promises: That By These Ye Might Be Partakers Of The Divine Nature, Having Escaped The Corruption That Is In The World Through Lust.

Ephesians 2:2-3 

Wherein In Time Past Ye Walked According To The Course Of This World, According To The Prince Of The Power Of The Air, The Spirit That Now Worketh In The Children Of Disobedience: Among Whom Also We All Had Our Conversation In Times Past In The Lusts Of Our Flesh, Fulfilling The Desires Of The Flesh And Of The Mind; And Were By Nature The Children Of Wrath, Even As Others.

2 Timothy 1:7 

For God Hath Not Given Us The Spirit Of Fear; But Of Power, And Of Love, And Of A Sound Mind.

2 Peter 1:2-4 

Grace And Peace Be Multiplied Unto You Through The Knowledge Of God, And Of Jesus Our Lord, According As His Divine Power Hath Given Unto Us All Things That Pertain Unto Life And Godliness, Through The Knowledge Of Him That Hath Called Us To Glory And Virtue: Whereby Are Given Unto Us Exceeding Great And Precious Promises: That By These Ye Might Be Partakers Of The Divine Nature, Having Escaped The Corruption That Is In The World Through Lust.

Romans 1:16-17 

For I Am Not Ashamed Of The Gospel Of Christ: For It Is The Power Of God Unto Salvation To Every One That Believeth; To The Jew First, And Also To The Greek. For Therein Is The Righteousness Of God Revealed From Faith To Faith: As It Is Written, The Just Shal

L Live By Faith.

Hebrews 4:12 

For The Word Of God Is Quick, And Powerful, And Sharper Than Any Twoedged Sword, Piercing Even To The Dividing Asunder Of Soul And Spirit, And Of The Joints And Marrow, And Is A Discerner Of The Thoughts And Intents Of The Heart.

Luke 12:32 

Fear Not, Little Flock; For It Is Your Father's Good Pleasure To Give You The Kingdom.

Philippians 2:13 

For It Is God Which Worketh In You Both To Will And To Do Of His Good Pleasure.

Colossians 1:9-14 

For This Cause We Also, Since The Day We Heard It, Do Not Cease To Pray For You, And To Desire That Ye Might Be Filled With The Knowledge Of His Will In All Wisdom And Spiritual Understanding; That Ye Might Walk Worthy Of The Lord Unto All Pleasing, Being Fruitful In Every Good Work, And Increasing In The Knowledge Of God; Strengthened With All Might, According To His Glorious Power, Unto All Patience And Longsuffering With Joyfulness;  Giving Thanks Unto The Father, Which Hath Made Us Meet To Be Partakers Of The Inheritance Of The Saints In Light: Who Hath Delivered Us From The Power Of Darkness, And Hath Translated Us Into The Kingdom Of His Dear Son: In Whom We Have Redemption Through His Blood, Even The Forgiveness Of Sins:

1 Corinthians 15:57-58 

But Thanks Be To God, Which Giveth Us The Victory Through Our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, My Beloved Brethren, Be Ye Stedfast, Unmoveable, Always Abounding In The Work Of The Lord, Forasmuch As Ye Know That Your Labour Is Not In Vain In The Lord.

Ephesians 6:10-17

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:

Read Your Bible And Grow In The Knowledge Of Jesus Christ The Lord.

THE SEED IS THE WORD OF GOD

THE SEED IS THE WORD OF GOD

Mark 4:14 

The Sower Soweth The Word.

Mark 4:18-19 And These Are They Which Are Sown Among Thorns; Such As Hear The Word,

And The Cares Of This World, And The Deceitfulness Of Riches, And The Lusts Of Other Things Entering In, Choke The Word, And It Becometh Unfruitful.

Luke 8:7,11,14-15 

And Some Fell Among Thorns; And The Thorns Sprang Up With It, And Choked It. 

[11] Now The Parable Is This: THE SEED IS THE WORD OF GOD. 

[14] And That Which Fell Among Thorns Are They, Which, When They Have Heard, Go Forth, And Are Choked With Cares And Riches And Pleasures Of This Life, And Bring No Fruit To Perfection. But That On The Good Ground Are They, Which In An Honest And Good Heart, Having Heard The Word, Keep It, And Bring Forth Fruit With Patience.

Matthew 6:19-21 

Lay Not Up For Yourselves Treasures Upon Earth, Where Moth And Rust Doth Corrupt, And Where Thieves Break Through And Steal: But Lay Up For Yourselves Treasures In Heaven, Where Neither Moth Nor Rust Doth Corrupt, And Where Thieves Do Not Break Through Nor Steal: For Where Your Treasure Is, There Will Your Heart Be Also.

Hebrews 13:5-6 

Let Your Conversation Be Without Covetousness; And Be Content With Such Things As Ye Have: For He Hath Said, I Will Never Leave Thee, Nor Forsake Thee. So That We May Boldly Say, The Lord Is My Helper, And I Will Not Fear What Man Shall Do Unto Me.

1 Timothy 6:6-12 

But Godliness With Contentment Is Great Gain. For We Brought Nothing Into This World, And It Is Certain We Can Carry Nothing Out. And Having Food And Raiment Let Us Be Therewith Content. But They That Will Be Rich Fall Into Temptation And A Snare, And Into Many Foolish And Hurtful Lusts, Which Drown Men In Destruction And Perdition. For The Love Of Money Is The Root Of All Evil: Which While Some Coveted After, They Have Erred From The Faith, And Pierced Themselves Through With Many Sorrows. But Thou, O Man Of God, Flee These Things; And Follow After Righteousness, Godliness, Faith, Love, Patience, Meekness. Fight The Good Fight Of Faith, Lay Hold On Eternal Life, Whereunto Thou Art Also Called, And Hast Professed A Good Profession Before Many Witnesses.

1 Timothy 6:17-19 

Charge Them That Are Rich In This World, That They Be Not Highminded, Nor Trust In Uncertain Riches, But In The Living God, Who Giveth Us Richly All Things To Enjoy; That They Do Good, That They Be Rich In Good Works, Ready To Distribute, Willing To Communicate; Laying Up In Store For Themselves A Good Foundation Against The Time To Come, That They May Lay Hold On Eternal Life.

CONFUSION AND DEATH LIETH IN DARKNESS, BUT LIGHT BRINGS LIFE AND PEACE

CONFUSION AND DEATH LIETH IN DARKNESS, BUT LIGHT BRINGS LIFE AND PEACE 

Jeremiah 3:25 

We Lie Down In Our Shame, And Our Confusion Covereth Us: For We Have Sinned Against The Lord Our God, We And Our Fathers, From Our Youth Even Unto This Day, And Have Not Obeyed The Voice Of The Lord Our God.

1 Corinthians 14:33 

For God Is Not The Author Of Confusion, But Of Peace, As In All Churches Of The Saints.

James 3:14-18 

But If Ye Have Bitter Envying And Strife In Your Hearts, Glory Not, And Lie Not Against The Truth. This Wisdom Descendeth Not From Above, But Is Earthly, Sensual, Devilish. For Where Envying And Strife Is, There Is Confusion And Every Evil Work. But The Wisdom That Is From Above Is First Pure, Then Peaceable, Gentle, And Easy To Be Intreated, Full Of Mercy And Good Fruits, Without Partiality, And Without Hypocrisy. And The Fruit Of Righteousness Is Sown In Peace Of Them That Make Peace.

Isaiah 13:9-11 

Behold, The Day Of The Lord Cometh, Cruel Both With Wrath And Fierce Anger, To Lay The Land Desolate: And He Shall Destroy The Sinners Thereof Out Of It. For The Stars Of Heaven And The Constellations Thereof Shall Not Give Their Light: The Sun Shall Be Darkened In His Going Forth, And The Moon Shall Not Cause Her Light To Shine. And I Will Punish The World For Their Evil, And The Wicked For Their Iniquity; And I Will Cause The Arrogancy Of The Proud To Cease, And Will Lay Low The Haughtiness Of The Terrible.

1 John 1:5-7 

This Then Is The Message Which We Have Heard Of Him, And Declare Unto You, That God Is Light, And In Him Is No Darkness At All. If We Say That We Have Fellowship With Him, And Walk In Darkness, We Lie, And Do Not The Truth: But If We Walk In The Light, As He Is In The Light, We Have Fellowship One With Another, And The Blood Of Jesus Christ His Son Cleanseth Us From All Sin.

Romans 8:5-6 For They That Are After The Flesh Do Mind The Things Of The Flesh; But They That Are After The Spirit The Things Of The Spirit. For To Be Carnally Minded Is Death; But To Be Spiritually Minded Is Life And Peace..

1 John 2:8-29 

Again, A New Commandment I Write Unto You, Which Thing Is True In Him And In You: Because The Darkness Is Past, And The True Light Now Shineth. He That Saith He Is In The Light, And Hateth His Brother, Is In Darkness Even Until Now. He That Loveth His Brother Abideth In The Light, And There Is None Occasion Of Stumbling In Him. But He That Hateth His Brother Is In Darkness, And Walketh In Darkness, And Knoweth Not Whither He Goeth, Because That Darkness Hath Blinded His Eyes. I Write Unto You, Little Children, Because Your Sins Are Forgiven You For His Name's Sake. I Write Unto You, Fathers, Because Ye Have Known Him That Is From The Beginning. I Write Unto You, Young Men, Because Ye Have Overcome The Wicked One. I Write Unto You, Little Children, Because Ye Have Known The Father. I Have Written Unto You, Fathers, Because Ye Have Known Him That Is From The Beginning. I Have Written Unto You, Young Men, Because Ye Are Strong, And The Word Of God Abideth In You, And Ye Have Overcome The Wicked One. Love Not The World, Neither The Things That Are In The World. If Any Man Love The World, The Love Of The Father Is Not In Him. For All That Is In The World, The Lust Of The Flesh, And The Lust Of The Eyes, And The Pride Of Life, Is Not Of The Father, But Is Of The World. And The World Passeth Away, And The Lust Thereof: But He That Doeth The Will Of God Abideth For Ever. Little Children, It Is The Last Time: And As Ye Have Heard That Antichrist Shall Come, Even Now Are There Many Antichrists; Whereby We Know That It Is The Last Time. They Went Out From Us, But They Were Not Of Us; For If They Had Been Of Us, They Would No Doubt Have Continued With Us: But They Went Out, That They Might Be Made Manifest That They Were Not All Of Us. But Ye Have An Unction From The Holy One, And Ye Know All Things. I Have Not Written Unto You Because Ye Know Not The Truth, But Because Ye Know It, And That No Lie Is Of The Truth. Who Is A Liar But He That Denieth That Jesus Is The Christ? He Is Antichrist, That Denieth The Father And The Son. Whosoever Denieth The Son, The Same Hath Not The Father: (But) He That Acknowledgeth The Son Hath The Father Also. Let That Therefore Abide In You, Which Ye Have Heard From The Beginning. If That Which Ye Have Heard From The Beginning Shall Remain In You, Ye Also Shall Continue In The Son, And In The Father. And This Is The Promise That He Hath Promised Us, Even Eternal Life. These Things Have I Written Unto You Concerning Them That Seduce You. But The Anointing Which Ye Have Received Of Him Abideth In You, And Ye Need Not That Any Man Teach You: But As The Same Anointing Teacheth You Of All Things, And Is Truth, And Is No Lie, And Even As It Hath Taught You, Ye Shall Abide In Him. And Now, Little Children, Abide In Him; That, When He Shall Appear, We May Have Confidence, And Not Be Ashamed Before Him At His Coming. If Ye Know That He Is Righteous, Ye Know That Every One That Doeth Righteousness Is Born Of Him.

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.

1 John 5:18-21 

We Know That Whosoever Is Born Of God Sinneth Not; But He That Is Begotten Of God Keepeth Himself, And That Wicked One Toucheth Him Not. And We Know That We Are Of God, And The Whole World Lieth In Wickedness. And We Know That The Son Of God Is Come, And Hath Given Us An Understanding, That We May Know Him That Is True, And We Are In Him That Is True, Even In His Son Jesus Christ. This Is The True God, And Eternal Life. Little Children, Keep Yourselves From Idols. Amen.

Have You Ever Decided To Spring Clean Your House Or, In Particular, That Room? That Room Catches Everything, That One Place You Have Been Meaning To Dejunk But Never Got Around To, Yeah, That Room. Let's Go Into That Cluttered Room Called Our Mind; Let's First Open The Shades And Raise The Window. Let's Feel The Cool Breeze. Can You Feel The Coolness Of The Breeze? I Feel Better Already. 

Now, Let's Put A Burn Barrel Outside Of The Window Of Our Minds And Get A Big Rolling Fire Going. Let's Look Around At All Of The Things In Our Room And Start Separating All Items One By One. Let's Make Three Area Zones: One Is To Burn, One Is To Keep, And The Last Is Items To Donate.

The Items In Our Room Are Our Thoughts. Let's Start With The First One That Stands Out The Most; It's Probably Very Old And Has Been Bothering Us For A Long While. It Is Something We Have Done Or Something Someone Else Has Done To Us. Will Not Deny Or Suppress It Any Longer. Let's Take This Thought And Examine It Thoroughly. We Are Not Afraid Of This Thought Because That Is What It Is: A Thought Or Remembrance. Let's Start By Asking Ourselves, Is This Thought Or Memory Beneficial? Does It Hold Any Value? Is It Worthy To Be Taking Up Valuable Space In The Room Of Our Minds? The Thought Is Old; Is It A Good Thought? If The Answer Is No, Ask, Does It Benefit Me To Keep It? If The Answer Is No, Then Ask Yourself If It Benefits Anyone Else If You Were To Give It To Them. If The Answer Is No, Throw It Out Of The Window Of Your Mind Into The Burn Barrel. Remember You Are In Charge Of Your Room, And You Are Responsible Of What You Decide To Keep. You Have Total Control; You May Have To Permit Yourself To Throw It Into The Burn Barrel, So Give It. Keep Telling Yourself That This Is The Room Of My Mind To Do Whatever I Want; You Do Not Need Permission From Anyone Else, Just From Yourself. For Hoarders, Decluttering Is Tricky; You Overthink. When We Declutter, We Need To Make Quick But Necessary Decisions To Reform Our Minds. 

When We Burn All Of The Junk, It Will Be Gone Forever, And It Will Not Be Able To Come Back In. If We Had Put The Trash Into A Garbage Bag, We Are Providing Ourselves With The Opportunity To Go Through It And Take Things Back. Keep Telling Yourself I Am Placing These Harmful Things In A Fire, And They Will Be Gone Forever. After A Good Decluttering, The Room Of Your Mind Has Free Space To Be Used For The Thoughts And Memories You Want To Keep. You Now Have The Space To Spread Out All The Items You Have Decided To Keep. Your Thoughts Are Light, And Your Memories Can Be Cherish And Beneficial To You. A Reminder Though, When You Burn One Bad Thought, Replace It With One Good One. If You Don't, That Free Space Will Be Prime Realestate For Something Else To Creep In, And It Could Be Worse Than The One You Burned. Jesus Explains It Better Than I Can So Read, 

Matthew 12:43-45 

When The Unclean Spirit Is Gone Out Of A Man, He Walketh Through Dry Places, Seeking Rest, And Findeth None. Then He Saith, I Will Return Into My House From Whence I Came Out; And When He Is Come, He Findeth It Empty, Swept, And Garnished. Then Goeth He, And Taketh With Himself Seven Other Spirits More Wicked Than Himself, And They Enter In And Dwell There: And The Last State Of That Man Is Worse Than The First. Even So Shall It Be Also Unto This Wicked Generation.

Now That We Have Cleaned And Decluttered The Room Of Our Minds, We Can Deal With The Keep And Donate Items. When I Spring Clean, I Like To Rearrange My Room. I Want To Put Things That Have Been Shoved To The Back On The Front So I Can Enjoy Them Once Again. The Memories Are As Beautiful To Me As When I Acquired Them. I Can Now Enjoy A Clean, Healthy Space For Myself And Others. Next, The Items To Be Donated Become Clearer. The Donated Items Are Beautiful And Beneficial To Others. What Are These Items That We Can Donate? Well, The Things That Have Been Under All Of The Clutter, One Item Can Be Our Faith. When Our Minds Are Free Of Stressful And Depressing Things, Our Faith Is More Substantial, And We Remember What We Thought Was Lost.

We Can Recall And Share Our Wisdom, Knowledge, And Understanding Of The Lord And His Word. As Married Women, We Can Help Newly Married Women In Their New Adventure. We Can Help Others Learn To Cook, Sew, Or Be Good Homemakers. If We Have Jobs Outside Our Homes, We Can Help Others Become Better Employees. We Teach Others To Be Honest, Polite, Kind, And Generous. We Can Teach Manners And Morals That We Have Suppressed For So Long. There Is A Lot We Can Do Because We Can See What Has Been Neglected By Us. There Is The Spring Cleaning, But Let's Not Forget To Be Ready For The Winter Months. The Winter Months Are When We Shut Our Windows And Blinds To Keep The Cold Out, But We Are Also Keeping Out The Light. In The Winter Months, Darkness And Depression Can Come In. Cobwebs And Other Creepy Things Can Sneak In. Just Like People Have Coat Drives And Blanket Drives To Prepare For The Winter, We Must Also Prepare Spiritually. The First Thing We Need To Do Is Turn The Light On And Keep It On. The Bible Says In Psalm 119:105 

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

The Winter Months Are When People Are More Alone Than Ever. People Are In Their Homes More With Fewer Phone Calls And Fewer Visitors In The Winter. Habits Of All Ages Are Changed. From Children To The Old, Everyone Needs Light. The Light We Acquire During The Winter Will Be An Asset You Can Donate In The Spring. 

 

Philippians 4:8 

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.

Proverbs 23:7a. 

For As He Thinketh In His Heart, So Is He:

2 Corinthians 11:3 

But I Fear, Lest By Any Means, As The Serpent Beguiled Eve Through His Subtilty, So Your Minds Should Be Corrupted From The Simplicity That Is In Christ.

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.

Ephesians 4:29-32 

Let No Corrupt Communication Proceed Out Of Your Mouth, But That Which Is Good To The Use Of Edifying, That It May Minister Grace Unto The Hearers. And Grieve Not The Holy Spirit Of God, Whereby Ye Are Sealed Unto The Day Of Redemption. Let All Bitterness, And Wrath, And Anger, And Clamour, And Evil Speaking, Be Put Away From You, With All Malice: And Be Ye Kind One To Another, Tenderhearted, Forgiving One Another, Even As God For Christ's Sake Hath Forgiven You.

BE AWARE OF SPIRITUAL DEPRESSION

BEWARE OF SPIRITUAL DEPRESSION 

Matthew 4:1-11 

Then Was Jesus Led Up Of The Spirit Into The Wilderness To Be Tempted Of The Devil. And When He Had Fasted Forty Days And Forty Nights, He Was Afterward An Hungred. And When The Tempter Came To Him, He Said, If Thou Be The Son Of God, Command That These Stones Be Made Bread. But He Answered And Said, It Is Written, Man Shall Not Live By Bread Alone, But By Every Word That Proceedeth Out Of The Mouth Of God. Then The Devil Taketh Him Up Into The Holy City, And Setteth Him On A Pinnacle Of The Temple, And Saith Unto Him, If Thou Be The Son Of God, Cast Thyself Down: For It Is Written, He Shall Give His Angels Charge Concerning Thee: And In Their Hands They Shall Bear Thee Up, Lest At Any Time Thou Dash Thy Foot Against A Stone. Jesus Said Unto Him, It Is Written Again, Thou Shalt Not Tempt The Lord Thy God. Again, The Devil Taketh Him Up Into An Exceeding High Mountain, And Sheweth Him All The Kingdoms Of The World, And The Glory Of Them; And Saith Unto Him, All These Things Will I Give Thee, If Thou Wilt Fall Down And Worship Me. Then Saith Jesus Unto Him, Get Thee Hence, Satan: For It Is Written, Thou Shalt Worship The Lord Thy God, And Him Only Shalt Thou Serve. Then The Devil Leaveth Him, And, Behold, Angels Came And Ministered Unto Him.

1 Corinthians 10:1-14 

Moreover, Brethren, I Would Not That Ye Should Be Ignorant, How That All Our Fathers Were Under The Cloud, And All Passed Through The Sea; And Were All Baptized Unto Moses In The Cloud And In The Sea; And Did All Eat The Same Spiritual Meat; And Did All Drink The Same Spiritual Drink: For They Drank Of That Spiritual Rock That Followed Them: And That Rock Was Christ. But With Many Of Them God Was Not Well Pleased: For They Were Overthrown In The Wilderness. Now These Things Were Our Examples, To The Intent We Should Not Lust After Evil Things, As They Also Lusted. Neither Be Ye Idolaters, As Were Some Of Them; As It Is Written, The People Sat Down To Eat And Drink, And Rose Up To Play. Neither Let Us Commit Fornication, As Some Of Them Committed, And Fell In One Day Three And Twenty Thousand. Neither Let Us Tempt Christ, As Some Of Them Also Tempted, And Were Destroyed Of Serpents. Neither Murmur Ye, As Some Of Them Also Murmured, And Were Destroyed Of The Destroyer. Now All These Things Happened Unto Them For Ensamples: And They Are Written For Our Admonition, Upon Whom The Ends Of The World Are Come. Wherefore Let Him That Thinketh He Standeth Take Heed Lest He Fall. There Hath No Temptation Taken You But Such As Is Common To Man: But God Is Faithful, Who Will Not Suffer You To Be Tempted Above That Ye Are Able; But Will With The Temptation Also Make A Way To Escape, That Ye May Be Able To Bear It. Wherefore, My Dearly Beloved, Flee From Idolatry.

1 Kings 19:1-9,18 

And Ahab Told Jezebel All That Elijah Had Done, And Withal How He Had Slain All The Prophets With The Sword. Then Jezebel Sent A Messenger Unto Elijah, Saying, So Let The Gods Do To Me, And More Also, If I Make Not Thy Life As The Life Of One Of Them By To Morrow About This Time. And When He Saw That, He Arose, And Went For His Life, And Came To Beer–sheba, Which Belongeth To Judah, And Left His Servant There. But He Himself Went A Day's Journey Into The Wilderness, And Came And Sat Down Under A Juniper Tree: And He Requested For Himself That He Might Die; And Said, It Is Enough; Now, O Lord, Take Away My Life; For I Am Not Better Than My Fathers. And As He Lay And Slept Under A Juniper Tree, Behold, Then An Angel Touched Him, And Said Unto Him, Arise And Eat. And He Looked, And, Behold, There Was A Cake Baken On The Coals, And A Cruse Of Water At His Head. And He Did Eat And Drink, And Laid Him Down Again. And The Angel Of The Lord Came Again The Second Time, And Touched Him, And Said, Arise And Eat; Because The Journey Is Too Great For Thee. And He Arose, And Did Eat And Drink, And Went In The Strength Of That Meat Forty Days And Forty Nights Unto Horeb The Mount Of God. And He Came Thither Unto A Cave, And Lodged There; And, Behold, The Word Of The Lord Came To Him, And He Said Unto Him, What Doest Thou Here, Elijah? 

[18] Yet I Have Left Me Seven Thousand In Israel, All The Knees Which Have Not Bowed Unto Baal, And Every Mouth Which Hath Not Kissed Him.

Spiritual Depression Happens When Satan Tempts You. When You Are Being Tempted, You Feel Like You Are Alone, And God Is A Million Miles Away From You. The Way You Know That You Are Spiritually Depressed Is When You Start Wondering If God Is Angry With You For Something That You Have Done. Spiritual Depression Is A Lot Like Depression Is In The Natural; You Don't Feel Like Doing Anything Positive, And All You Can Do Is Drag Yourself Through Each Day. Sleeping Is The Trap We Fall Into When We Are Spiritually Depressed. When We Are Spiritually Sleeping, We Stop Reading Our Bibles And Getting Messages From The Lord. Spiritual Depression Can Be Dangerous And Usually Attacks You When You Become Satisfied With Your Knowledge Of The Lord, When You Think That You Are The Only One Who Is Spiritual, Or When You Have Become Complacent. One Of Two Things Will Happen When You Are Spiritually Depressed: You Will Pray And Ask The Lord For His Help, Or You Will Dry Up. Let Me Tell You, I Have Been Here Many Times Where I Feel Like I Am Not Making A Difference Or Helping Anyone; That Is The Beginning Of Spiritual Depression. Satan Is Tempting Us With These Kinds Of Thoughts. Satan Will Say Why Don't You Just Quit? Satan Will Tell You Nobody Cares About Your Ministry Or What You Have To Teach. Satan Will Say, Nobody Is Listening To Or Learning From You, Just Quit. When You Get Those Kinds Of Thoughts, You Know Who That Is; It Is The Tempter. Satan Is The Only One Who Wants Us To Quit Sharing The Gospel Of Jesus Christ. When Spiritual Depression Sets In, Many Christians Find Themselves Giving Up Because They Have Listened To The Tempter. 

James 1:12-14 

Blessed Is The Man That Endureth Temptation: For When He Is Tried, He Shall Receive The Crown Of Life, Which The Lord Hath Promised To Them That Love Him. Let No Man Say When He Is Tempted, I Am Tempted Of God: For God Cannot Be Tempted With Evil, Neither Tempteth He Any Man: But Every Man Is Tempted, When He Is Drawn Away Of His Own Lust, And Enticed.

Hebrews 10:35-39

Cast Not Away Therefore Your Confidence, Which Hath Great Recompence Of Reward. For Ye Have Need Of Patience, That, After Ye Have Done The Will Of God, Ye Might Receive The Promise. For Yet A Little While, And He That Shall Come Will Come, And Will Not Tarry. Now The Just Shall Live By Faith: But If Any Man Draw Back, My Soul Shall Have No Pleasure In Him. But We Are Not Of Them Who Draw Back Unto Perdition; But Of Them That Believe To The Saving Of The Soul.

Like 1 Corinthians 15:34 Says, We Are To

Awake To Righteousness, And Sin Not; For Some Have Not The Knowledge Of God: I Speak This To Your Shame. 

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;

Bless

Romans 12:14 

BLESS Them Which Persecute You: BLESS, And Curse Not.

Matthew 5:43-48 

Ye Have Heard That It Hath Been Said, Thou Shalt Love Thy Neighbour, And Hate Thine Enemy. 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 Despitefully Use You, And Persecute You; That Ye May Be The Children Of Your Father Which Is In Heaven: For He Maketh His Sun To Rise On The Evil And On The Good, And Sendeth Rain On The Just And On The Unjust. 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.

Romans 12:19-21 

Dearly Beloved, Avenge Not Yourselves, But Rather Give Place Unto Wrath: For It Is Written, Vengeance Is Mine; I Will Repay, Saith The Lord. Therefore If Thine Enemy Hunger, Feed Him; If He Thirst, Give Him Drink: For In So Doing Thou Shalt Heap Coals Of Fire On His Head. Be Not Overcome Of Evil, But Overcome Evil With Good.

Titus 3:8-11 

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.

John 3:16-21 

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.

Every Time We Do Good To Our Enemies We Are Showing The Love Of Christ, For That Is Exactly What He Did When He Saved Us.

Romans 5:8-11 

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.

John 3:15

That Whosoever Believeth In Him Should Not Perish But Have Eternal Life.

Romans 8:38-39 

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.

HUNGER AND THIRST

HUNGER AND THIRST

Romans 11:27 

For This Is My Covenant Unto Them, When I Shall Take Away Their Sins.

Matthew 5:6 

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

John 6:35 

And Jesus Said Unto Them, I Am The Bread Of Life: He That Cometh To Me Shall Never Hunger; And He That Believeth On Me Shall Never Thirst.

Romans 10:4 

For Christ Is The End Of The Law For Righteousness To Every One That Believeth.

Matthew 5:17 

Think Not That I Am Come To Destroy The Law, Or The Prophets: I Am Not Come To Destroy, But To Fulfil.

Galatians 4:4-7 

But When The Fulness Of The Time Was Come, God Sent Forth His Son, Made Of A Woman, Made Under The Law, To Redeem Them That Were Under The Law, That We Might Receive The Adoption Of Sons. And Because Ye Are Sons, God Hath Sent Forth The Spirit Of His Son Into Your Hearts, Crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore Thou Art No More A Servant, But A Son; And If A Son, Then An Heir Of God Through Christ.

Galatians 3:24-27 

Wherefore The Law Was Our Schoolmaster To Bring Us Unto Christ, That We Might Be Justified By Faith. But After That Faith Is Come, We Are No Longer Under A Schoolmaster. For Ye Are All The Children Of God By Faith In Christ Jesus. For As Many Of You As Have Been Baptized Into Christ Have Put On Christ.

THE UNITY OF THE FAITH

THE UNITY OF THE FAITH 

Ephesians 4:11-13 

And He Gave Some, Apostles; And Some, Prophets; And Some, Evangelists; And Some, Pastors And Teachers; For The Perfecting Of The Saints, For The Work Of The Ministry, For The Edifying Of The Body Of Christ: Till We All Come In The Unity Of The Faith, And Of The Knowledge Of The Son Of God, Unto A Perfect Man, Unto The Measure Of The Stature Of The Fulness Of Chris: 

I Must Ask These Questions: Why Are The Saints So Divided In The Faith? Why Are There So Many Denominations? Why Are There So Many Different Types Of Bibles? 

We All Supposedly Have The Holy Spirit, The Holy Bible, Evangelists, Pastors, And Teachers For The Perfecting Of The Saints. After All, Evangelists, Pastors, And Teachers Are Given For The Work Of The Ministry, For The Edifying Of The Body Of Christ. Evangelists, Pastors, And Teachers Are Given Until We All Come In The Unity Of The Faith And Of The Knowledge Of The Son Of God. Evangelists, Pastors, And Teachers Are Given So That We Grow Unto A Perfect Man, Unto The Measure Of The Stature Of The Fulness Of Chris.

Are We Anywhere Near The Unity Of The Faith And The Knowledge Of The Son Of God, Unto A Perfect Man, Unto The Measure Of The Stature Of The Fulness Of Christ? 

So, I Will Finish With More Questions: Could All Our Differences Come From Another Being Other Than God? Can The Different Denominations And The Different Types Of Bibles Be Dividing Us? I Know God Is Perfect; God Does Not Make Mistakes, And God Cannot Lie, So Who Do We Know That Does? All Of The Division In The Church Is Coming From The Mastermind Of The Devil To Cause Weakness In The Body Of The Saints. A Weak Body Is Susceptible To Every Kind Of Disease And Disorder. Read The Bible For Yourself And Leave The So-Called Church That Does Not Measure Up To The Word Of God. 

Grow In The Knowledge Of Christ Jesus.

2 Peter 3:13-18 

Nevertheless We, According To His Promise, Look For New Heavens And A New Earth, Wherein Dwelleth Righteousness.  Wherefore, Beloved, Seeing That Ye Look For Such Things, Be Diligent That Ye May Be Found Of Him In Peace, Without Spot, And Blameless. And Account That The Longsuffering Of Our Lord Is Salvation; Even As Our Beloved Brother Paul Also According To The Wisdom Given Unto Him Hath Written Unto You; As Also In All His Epistles, Speaking In Them Of These Things; In Which Are Some Things Hard To Be Understood, Which They That Are Unlearned And Unstable Wrest, As They Do Also The Other Scriptures, Unto Their Own Destruction. 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. 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.

THIS IS MY COMMANDMENT, THAT YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, AS I HAVE LOVED YOU.

THIS IS MY COMMANDMENT, THAT YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, AS I HAVE LOVED YOU.

1 John 3:22-24 

And Whatsoever We Ask, We Receive Of Him, Because We Keep His Commandments, And Do Those Things That Are Pleasing In His Sight. And This Is His Commandment, That We Should Believe On The Name Of His Son Jesus Christ, And Love One Another, As He Gave Us Commandment. And He That Keepeth His Commandments Dwelleth In Him, And He In Him. And Hereby We Know That He Abideth In Us, By The Spirit Which He Hath Given Us.

John 14:12-29 

Verily, Verily, I Say Unto You, He That Believeth On Me, The Works That I Do Shall He Do Also; And Greater Works Than These Shall He Do; Because I Go Unto My Father. And Whatsoever Ye Shall Ask In My Name, That Will I Do, That The Father May Be Glorified In The Son. If Ye Shall Ask Any Thing In My Name, I Will Do It. If Ye Love Me, Keep My Commandments. And I Will Pray The Father, And He Shall Give You Another Comforter, That He May Abide With You For Ever; Even The Spirit Of Truth; Whom The World Cannot Receive, Because It Seeth Him Not, Neither Knoweth Him: But Ye Know Him; For He Dwelleth With You, And Shall Be In You. I Will Not Leave You Comfortless: I Will Come To You. Yet A Little While, And The World Seeth Me No More; But Ye See Me: Because I Live, Ye Shall Live Also. At That Day Ye Shall Know That I Am In My Father, And Ye In Me, And I In You. He That Hath My Commandments, And Keepeth Them, He It Is That Loveth Me: And He That Loveth Me Shall Be Loved Of My Father, And I Will Love Him, And Will Manifest Myself To Him. Judas Saith Unto Him, Not Iscariot, Lord, How Is It That Thou Wilt Manifest Thyself Unto Us, And Not Unto The World? Jesus Answered And Said Unto Him, If A Man Love Me, He Will Keep My Words: And My Father Will Love Him, And We Will Come Unto Him, And Make Our Abode With Him. He That Loveth Me Not Keepeth Not My Sayings: And The Word Which Ye Hear Is Not Mine, But The Father's Which Sent Me. These Things Have I Spoken Unto You, Being Yet Present With You. But The Comforter, Which Is The Holy Ghost, Whom The Father Will Send In My Name, He Shall Teach You All Things, And Bring All Things To Your Remembrance, Whatsoever I Have Said Unto You. Peace I Leave With You, My Peace I Give Unto You: Not As The World Giveth, Give I Unto You. Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled, Neither Let It Be Afraid. Ye Have Heard How I Said Unto You, I Go Away, And Come Again Unto You. If Ye Loved Me, Ye Would Rejoice, Because I Said, I Go Unto The Father: For My Father Is Greater Than I. And Now I Have Told You Before It Come To Pass, That, When It Is Come To Pass, Ye Might Believe.

John 15:9-12 

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.
