PUTTING GOD FIRST

Whom have I in heaven but thee? And there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.” (Psalms 73:25-26). “ But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Matthew 6:33). “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” (Matthew 22:37-39). “Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.” (John 21:22). Stay focused on your main goal, the Great Commission to reach the unreached, Why should anyone hear the Gospel twice or more when some have never heard it once. If you can’t be a missionary yourself, at least help support one that is teaching the full, whole truth of Jesus Christ and his Bible. ( Basic, Instructions, Before, Leaving, Earth) “For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.” (Acts 20:27) “Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” (Job 23:12) The Enemy the Devil is trying to side track us and take our time away from Gods highest calling. There is a time and place for everything. When you work put your whole heart into it, and when you play do the same, and don’t mix the two. When you seek the Lord seek him with all of your heart. “Therefore also now, saith the Lord, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: (Joel 2:12) “only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.” (1Samuel 12:24) “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” (1Corinthians 10:31). “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.” (Psalms 27:1-2) “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” (John 9:4) “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.” (Romans 12:1-2) “While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.” (Matthew 12:46-50) “I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.” ( Proverbs 8:17) Putting God First is putting Jesus Christ First. Let people see there is something different in you. Let your light shine.

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

WHY DO WE NEED TO ASK JESUS CHRIST INTO OUR HEARTS

The main reason is to be saved. “that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:9-10). “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” (John 1:12). Believe comes from the Greek word “Pisteuo”, which means to take Jesus Christ into your heart. and trust in him. “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.” (John 3:16). “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” (John 3:36).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.” (John 3:3-8). “And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father”. (Galatians 4:6). The heart of man is not a good place. “The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.” (Jeremiah 17:9-10) The Lord doesn’t judge us just because of our wicked hearts but he judges us and rewards us according to what we do, and sometimes what we don’t do that our evil hearts tell us to do. Every ones heart is basically evil, wicked, and selfish. Jesus told his disciples; “If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?” (Matthew 7:11) “Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me” (Psalms 51:1-5). You don’t have to teach a baby to be bad. “for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” (Romans 3:23). “And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” (Genesis 6:1-8). “Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight”(Job 15:15).

“Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did. But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, and needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.” (John 2:23-25). “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.” (Isaiah 64:6) The filthy rags spoken of in this scripture passage are talking about the filthiest of all rags menstruous rags. This is what our self-righteousness looks like in the sight of God. His righteousness is only through the Blood of Jesus Christ by GRACE. “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.” (1 John 1:7) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.”(Ephesians 2:8-9). Grace is a Gift Received At Christ Expense. That is why we need Jesus to Save us and make us more like him. “He must increase but I must decrease.” (John 3:30) We should be changing and becoming more like Jesus Christ everyday. In fact people shouldn’t be able to recognize us from the day before. They should be thinking, WOW, who is this person, they sure sound different than they did yesterday. That’s one of the fun parts of being a Christian just seeing the changes that Jesus will make in your own life and personality and the way you treat others. It’s like the guy who ran into his old girl friend on the street, and she said Francis tis I,but he answered back, “But I am no longer I”. Let Jesus Change you and make you the way he wants you to be.If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.” (John 13:17). “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.” (Luke 20:17b-18) “But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.” (Isaiah 64:8) Let’s fall into the hands of The Potter Jesus, who made us with God and The Holy Spirit. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”(Genesis 1:26-27) being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:”(Philippians 1:6)

You can’t keep the birds from flying over your head, but you can keep them from making a nest in your hair. So it is with the thoughts from demons and devils. “Neither give place to the devil. Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. 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.” (Ephesians 4:27-30) “Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.” (Matthew 15:11-20) “Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” (Matthew 16:22-24) The more you have Jesus and his Word in your heart the less you’ll have from the devil. Are you teachable or have you already attained. Self rightousness is the worst sin, thinking you know better, and can make it on your own.

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

Birthday or no Birthday Party. The Battle still rages on.


 What Battle you say? The Battle against Evil for Good, Light for Darkness, The Battle against spiritual wickedness in high places. The Battle for Jesus Christ against the Devil and all his hordes of Demons. The Battle for truth against lies of the Devil, and his false doctrines in the Churches. The Battle Against Evolution for Creation, the Battle against working your way to Heaven instead of grace for Salvation.( Grace is a Gift Received At Christ Expense). The Battle for health against sickness. The Battle against not forgiving and forgiving. The Battle against New Life and Death. The Battle of right over wrong. Nothing short of right is right. The Spiritual Battle of working on our own selves  and our areas that we need work on. The Battle of trying to be more like Jesus and less like ourselves. Not to mention reaching the Whole World for Jesus, THE GREAT COMMISSION. Go Ye Into All The World And Preach The Gospel To Every Creature. (Mark 16:15). It makes you wonder how we could ever have time for a Birthday party. With so much to do and fight for. Beloved we are surrounded and encompassed on every side. Jesus please bring forth laborer’s with all dispatch. The Bible says:  “So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west,and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood,
the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.” (Isaiah 59:19)
Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me.

POWERFUL VERSES IN THE BOOK OF ACTS TO MEMORIZE AND LIVE FOR

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. (Acts 1:8).

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. (Acts 2:1-4).

And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: and on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: and I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:  the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: and it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Acts 2:17-21)

And all that believed were together, and had all things common; and sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, (Acts 2:44-46).

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. (Acts 4:12-13)

And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, (Acts 4:29)

And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. (Acts 4:32).

And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ. (Acts 5:41-42).

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

NEW BEGINNINGS

All things change but Jesus NEVER changes. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.”(Matthew 24:35).Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.”(Psalms 55:19b). I personally have had some changes this past year. Have you? Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”(2 Corinthians 5:17). Think about the good things that Jesus has done for you. Write them down. Think about the many miracles that the Lord has done for you, even small ones. Remember the loss of a nail caused the loss of a shoe and the loss of a shoe caused the loss of a horse, and the loss of a horse caused the loss of a King, and the loss of a King caused the loss of a Kingdom. All because of the loss of one little nail. (Zechariah 4). Can you see God’s mighty hand working in your life? “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.”(Philippians 3:13-15). Think of what you have learned to help get you closer to Jesus. Have a good communion. Get clean and right with God, and get a clean slate by faith in the Blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Only Begotten Son. “Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.”(John 15:3). “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.”(1 John 1:7). Are you closer to Jesus than you were a year ago? “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.”(Romans 8:1-2). “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.”(Romans 8:28). “being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:”(Philippians 1:6). “He must increase, but I must decrease.”(John 3:30). If you are closer to Jesus you will be farther from yourself. “For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.”(Luke 9:24). “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.”( Romans 12:1-2). YOU CAN HAVE A NEW BEGINNING EVERY DAY!

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

WHO IS THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE HOLD?

Who is the Head of the house? Well first off we must remember to rightly divide the Word of truth. “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

(2Timothy 2:15). Ideally it would seem to be the man. The woman is the weaker vessel. “Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.” (1 Peter 3:7). Also because Christ is the head of the Church and marriage is a symbol of this. I think if people don’t get married they are missing out on a spiritual blessing that the Lord has created and ordained for them to experience. But today many men are not even saved and are just babes spiritually and should not be considered the head of the house hold which is a type and symbol of Christ who is the head of the church. It’s the one who is closest to the Lord and most in the Word. Not someone who is tripped off and into false doctrine. Can the blind lead the blind? “Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.” (Matthew 15:14). “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:28). “For there is no respect of persons with God.” (Romans 2:11). It’s the one who is the most in the True Word of God and close to Jesus Christ that counts in the eyes of God and is the leader and head of the household.

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins ,and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

HOW TO SAVE YOUR MARRIAGE IF YOU WANT

First of all both husband and wife must want to save their marriage and live together the rest of their lives. The Bible tells us, “And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.” (Hebrews 11:15). If you want out in your heart you will get the opportunity to. Jesus said in Matthew 7:24-27 “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.”Beloved the only way to make a marriage last is if you both put Jesus Christ first in your life and you both dedicate your life to him after all God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit made you and Jesus Christ died for you and rose from the dead. “ For God so loved the World that he gave his only begotten son that who so ever beliveth in him should not perish but have ever lasting life.” (John 3:16). “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” (Matthew 22:37-39). You also have to forgive each others sins, “Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.” (Matthew 18:21-22). A dedication and love above all. To make it work if you don’t have love then there is no hope. “ Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love,
it would utterly be contemned.” (Song of Solomon 8:7). Even staying together for the children’s sake only is not going to last. “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.” (Ephesians 5:22-33).

This will keep your husband from turning into a roaring Lion with a thorn in his paw. Food at 5 if you want your marriage to thrive.

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins ,and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

PRAY TO JESUS

I just can’t do the subject justice. When I think about all my life as I was taught to pray to God our Heavenly Father, and sometime at the end of my prayer I would throw in Jesus Name. I think the Lord had mercy on me because I would at least say In Jesus Name at the end of my Prayers most of the time. The churches for the most part have had a lot of things wrong for so long that it is pitiful. I just recently had received this revelation from the Lord, and it has really changed my life, and way of praying and thinking and I have gotten a lot closer to Jesus by his love and grace and mercy. How can you go wrong praying to Jesus? After all Jesus himself said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” (John 10:9) “Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:14-16) These are Gods conditions the way he wants our prayers to be. I hear so many Preachers say “Father God” and then go on with their prayer so self-righteously as if they could just bypass Jesus Christ and go straight to God. Who are we to do such a thing? “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” (Isaiah 53:6) “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee:” (Isaiah 64:6-7a) “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23) ” Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.” (Job 15;15) If you have prayed and accepted Jesus Christ into your heart as your Saviour, then you are born again. SEE: (John 3:1-8) John 1:12 says, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:” ” 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.” (Hebrews 13:5) So that means Jesus Christ is living in you. “And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.” (Galatians 4:6) “Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?” (Psalms 139:7) So you can pray straight to him, he hears all you say and think so talk to him and he will talk back to you. It is presumptuous to pray straight to God our Heavenly Father. This means you are presuming you are worthy to go straight to God. Beloved the Lord God Almighty, The Heavenly Father only honors and hears prayers that go thru his Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, and King of Kings and our High Priest. So, try it, Pray to Jesus Christ. You will be closer to him and God our Heavenly Father, and to Jesus his Only Begotten Son, and the Holy Spirit, The Trinity. Praying to Jesus is Praying to God our Heavenly Father, because your prayers go straight to him and Jesus, and the Holy Spirit also, at the same time to our Heavenly Parents, SEE our classes on the Holy Spirit for another eye-opening, shocking, and amazing truth found in www.answersintheword.com. Jesus said: “I and my Father are one.” (John 10:30) “Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?” (John 14:9) Jesus Christ is the ultimate manifestation of God and his LOVE. Many Christians today won’t be able to accept this truth because it would mean they have been wrong and taught wrong to pray straight to the Father, and their pride is offended. Some of the hardest words in any language is “I was wrong”. I even tried to share this truth to my son-in-law in Love and he spoke. “I don’t need you or your web site, but later gave a weak apology, and said he was sorry if he had said anything wrong. He said his mom told him that this was the craziest thing she ever heard. “Am I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?”(Galatians 4:16) He also said he has the Spirit and does not need any teaching. Beloved you have to rightly divide the Word of truth there are so many scripture verses on teaching. “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.” (2 Timothy 2:2) “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:” (2 Timothy 3:16) “preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” (2 Timothy 4:2) Jesus taught his disciples many things, and he said for us to follow him, and do as I do. “Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.” (John 21:15b-17).

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins, and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen

How Does Jesus Want Us to Treat Other People? (Part 2)

 “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.” (Philippians 4:8). “If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, fulfil ye my joy, that ye be like minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:1-11). “Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?”(1 John 3:16-17). Remember John 3:16 was God’s part, and 1John 3:16 is our part. “submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.”(Ephesians 5:21-33).

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins ,and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen

“This is my commandment that ye love one another.”(John.15:17) If you have a hard time loving people, just ask Jesus to help you see them as he sees them, and loves them in spite of themselves and their faults and sins. We need to love the sinner not the sins. All love comes from God. We just don’t have it in ourselves. So ask Jesus to give you his Super Natural Love to help you love others, and he will by faith. “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.” (1 John 4:7-8). “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” (Matthew 22:37-39).“and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”(Ephesians 4:32). Remember the way we love others is the way we will receive love from God the Father and Jesus his Son and the Holy Spirit. “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.” (Matthew 5:44-48). “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.” (Matthew 7:1-5). “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.” (Matthew 7:12). “to speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.”(Titus 3:2). “And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God pre adventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;” (2 Timothy 2:24-25)
