WHO'S WORD ARE YOU GOING TO ACCEPT?

                                       WHO'S WORD ARE YOU GOING TO ACCEPT?

 

The Bible Says:

"If we "DELIBERATELY" keep on "SINNING AFTER" we have "RECEIVED" the knowledge "OF THE TRUTH", "NO SACRIFICE" for "SINS" is LEFT, (Watch This... Don't Miss It!) BUT only a "FEARFUL" expectation of "JUDGMENT" and of "RAGING FIRE" that "WILL" consume the enemies of God."~Hebrews 10:26-27~ (Read Also Verses 28-31)

Note: If You Think To Yourself... Well, I Got Baptized, I Accepted/Believe In Jesus... He (GOD) Will Still Let Me Into His Heaven... Even, If I am Living A Sinful Lifestyle! You Say, "I've Heard Someone Say Once... "That You Can Never Lose Your Salvation” “That Once You're Saved, You're Always Saved". Who's Word Are You Going Accept/Take?? Who Are You Going To Believe?? The "Holy Spirit" Says, in "The Book Of Hebrews" Ch.10, "NO ONE" Who Is "DELIBERATELY (Willfully, Purposefully) SINNING" Is Going To Heaven!! The Only Thing We Can Expect From This Kind Of Daily Living Is A "RAGING FIRE" that "WILL" consume the enemies of God.” The Apostle John Says: “Whoever claims to “LIVE” in Him “MUST walk as Jesus DID.”~(1 John 2:6) The Commandment From Jesus Is This....

 

 

THERE IS NO ONE I CAN TALK TO!

THERE’S NO ONE I CAN TALK TO!

Thank God for the godly, trustworthy, faithful friends that many people have. What about if you don’t have anybody like that in your life? Do you ever feel like, I wish I had someone I can trust… Someone that can relate to what I’m going through? Let me give you some encouragement from “God’s Holy Word”!

The Bible Says:

“David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the LORD his God.”~ (1 Samuel 30:6)

Note: David needed someone to strength him through this very difficult situation (David and his soldiers homes were burned down to the ground and their wives and children were taken captive)...But everyone around him wanted to stone him.  “NOTICE” to whom David went to, for the help that he needed… But David found “STRENGTH” in the LORD his GOD.”~(1 Samuel 30:1-6)~When “NO ONE” is there to help us or understand what we’re going through…God will “ALWAYS” be there for us and He “DOES” understand the things that we are going through. "But God, who "COMFORTS" the DOWNCAST..."~(2 Corinthians 7:6)

The Book Of Hebrews Says:

“For we “DO NOT” have a high priest who is “UNABLE” to sympathize with OUR weaknesses, (Watch This… Don’t Miss It!)  BUT we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet was without sin. “LET US” then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may “RECEIVE” mercy and “FIND” grace to “HELP US” in our time “OF NEED”.”~(Hebrews 4:15-16)
Maybe “NO ONE” understands what you’re feeling but we have a wonderful “High Priest” (Jesus Christ) that is able to sympathize with everything that happens to us and Jesus “WILL” help us in our time of need! Remember “ALWAYS” what Jesus says… He “WILL” always DO!!! “Heaven and earth will pass away, “BUT MY WORDS” will “NEVER” pass away.”~(Matthew 24:35, Mark 13:31, Luke 21:33)

Note: If you’re going through a difficult, painful situation… Come to the “One” that can sympathize with “ALL” your problems and help you out of them too!  “The “SALVATION” of the righteous “COMES” from the LORD; HE is their “STRONGHOLD” in time of trouble. The LORD “HELPS THEM” and “DELIVERS THEM”; He delivers them from the wicked and saves them, “BECAUSE” they take “REFUGE” in HIM.”~(Psalm 37:39-40)

“TRUST” in Jesus, my friends… He will “NEVER” let us down! Is “NOT” in HIM to say one thing and do another… Remember, Jesus is “NOT” a man that He should lie. (Numbers 23:19, 1 Samuel 15:29)

"GOD is our “REFUGE” and STRENGTH”, an ever-present help in trouble.”… BE still, and know that I am GOD.”~(Psalm 46:1,10)

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT?

                                      WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT?


How you see yourself and the thoughts that you daily think/ mediate on... Will always affect your outward attitude towards God and people. Paul tells us to take captive all our thoughts and this how Paul tells us "...And we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."~(2 Corinthians 10:5)

The Bible says, these are the things we're supposed to think/ mediate on....."Finally, brothers, "WHATEVER" is "True", "WHATEVER" is "Noble", "WHATEVER" is "Right", "WHATEVER" is "Pure", "WHATEVER" is "Lovely", "WHATEVER" is "Admirable"--if ANYTHING is "Excellent" or Praiseworthy--"THINK ABOUT SUCH THINGS."~ (Philippians 4:8)

Note: It is very "IMPORTANT" for us to "ALWAYS" stay daily mediatating on the word of God. It is then, when "OUR MINDS" and "OUR WILLS" will change to the will of God "The Father".... ""DO NOT" conform any longer to the pattern of this world, BUT be "TRANSFORMED" by the "RENEWING" of your "MIND". THEN you will be able to test AND approve what God's "WILL IS"--HIS good, pleasing and perfect "WILL."~(Romans 12:2)

People say, "That "PRACTICE" Makes Perfect"... Then the more we train our minds, our wills and our bodies to do the will of God the Father; the better we will get at living "The Christ Like Life".  In this way of daily living, we would be carrying out "Our Lord" Jesus wishes... "Jesus replied, "If "ANYONE" "LOVES ME", he "WILL" obey my teaching. My Father "WILL" love him, and "WE WILL" come to him AND make "OUR HOME" with him. (WATCH THIS... DON'T MISS IT!) He who "DOES NOT" love me "WILL NOT" obey "MY TEACHING". These words you hear are not my own; THEY belong to the Father who sent me."~(John 14:23-24)

If we are thinking negative thoughts all day long... Our attitudes will be negative towards everyone else also! We won't be displaying the love of God thinking this way. By our conduct, our way of living, is how we show people that Christ lives in us. Is "NOT" what we say that makes the most difference... It is our conduct that does! Remember, "ACTIONS" will always speak louder than our words. "But wisdom is "PROVED" right by her "ACTIONS."~(Matthew 11:19)

The Bible says, "For as he thinks in his heart, so [IS] he."~(Proverbs 23:7)~NKJV  According to the Bible, the things that we think about is "WHO WE ARE."... What we "WILL" act out on. So we have to make it a daily practice to be "DOERS" of God's word and in this way of living, everyone will see the "LIVING" Christ in us. "What Are You Thinking About?"

"WHATEVER" happens, "CONDUCT" yourselves in a manner "WORTHY" of the gospel of Christ."~(Philippians 1:27)~NIV


GOD BLESS YOU ALL NOW AND ALWAYS

ARE YOU WATCHING AND PRAYING?

  ARE YOU WATCHING AND PRAYING?


Jesus said:

"At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like "Ten Virgins" who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were "Foolish" and five were "Wise". The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. "At midnight the cry rang out: 'Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!' "Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.' "'No,' they replied, 'there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.' "But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut. "Later the others also came. 'Sir! Sir!' they said. 'Open the door for us!' "But he replied, 'I tell you the truth, "I DON'T KNOW YOU".' (WATCH THIS... DON'T MISS IT!) "Therefore "KEEP WATCH", because you "DO NOT" know the "DAY" or "THE HOUR""~(Matthew 25:1-13)~NIV

Note: Friends: If we do not grasp what the Lord is saying here, in the story of the "Ten Virgins" and we do not apply to our lives, what He has taught us in "The Gospels"... We are going to be in for "A Rude Awakening", when Jesus Christ comes back for His bride.~(John 14:15, John 14:23-24, Acts 1:11, John 14:1-3, Revelation 1:8, Revelation 22:20)

Jesus says this.... "NOT EVERYONE" who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' "WILL ENTER" the kingdom of heaven, (WATCH THIS... DON'T MISS IT!)  BUT "ONLY" he who "DOES" the "WILL" of my Father who is in heaven. "MANY" will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' (Here Comes The Sad Part Of Not Following Christ Teachings ...)"Then I "WILL" tell them plainly, 'I "NEVER" knew you. AWAY from me, YOU evildoers!'~(Matthew 7:21-23)

Jesus says, that "EVERYONE" who applies His teachings into their everyday life are consider the "Wise Builders"... "THEREFORE" everyone who "HEARS" these words of mine and puts them "INTO PRACTICE" is like a wise man who "BUILT" his house ON the "ROCK (Which Is Christ Our Lord)."~(Matthew 7:24) And to "EVERYONE" who "DOES NOT" apply the teachings of Christ to their daily lives... The Bible says, this about them: "BUT everyone who hears these words of mine and does not "PUT THEM" into practice is like a "FOOLISH MAN" who built his house on sand."~(Matthew 7:26)


The Apostle John is very clear on this subject matter... "WHOEVER" claims to live in him (Jesus Christ) "MUST" walk as Jesus did."~(1 John 2:6)

The Apostle Paul, tells this to Timothy, on how he lived the Christian life... "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." ~(2 Timothy 4:7)~ Paul "DOES NOT" sound like he had lived the "Lack A Daisy" Christian life... Paul walked, talked and lived "The Christ Like" life and he also encouraged and warned the churches that he was in charge of overseeing, to do the same as he did! "Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ."~(1 Corinthians 11:1) To the Philippians Church, Paul gives them the same exhortation..."WHATEVER" you HAVE learned or received or heard FROM ME, or SEEN in ME--"PUT IT INTO PRACTICE". And the God of peace will be with you." (Philippians 4:9)

This is Paul warnings to the Ephesians Church (A Warning To Stay Alert And Live As The Lord Jesus Has Commanded For Us To Live Like (Holy).... "Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, "BECAUSE THESE ARE IMPROPER FOR GOD'S HOLY PEOPLE." Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. (WATCH THIS... DON'T MISS IT!) "FOR of this you can be sure: "NO" immoral, impure or greedy person--such a man is an idolater--"HAS ANY" inheritance in the "KINGDOM" of Christ and of God."~(Ephesians 5:1-7, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11) See also Galatians 5:13-21

Note: We are "NEW CREATIONS" in Christ Jesus our Lord! (2 Corinthians 5:17) We "MUST" Live, Talk and Act like it at all times!... "For you "WERE ONCE" darkness, but "NOW" you "ARE LIGHT" in the Lord. "LIVE" as children of "LIGHT."~(Ephesians 5:8)

Paul also gave many instructions to Titus, in how, the church should conduct themselves while waiting for Jesus Christ return. This one specifically here, being one of them...."For the "GRACE" of God that brings salvation HAS appeared to "ALL" men." IT TEACHES US" to say "NO" to ungodliness and worldly passions, AND to "LIVE" self-controlled, upright and "GODLY LIVES" in this present age, "WHILE WE WAIT" for the "BLESSED HOPE"--the glorious APPEARING of our great GOD and SAVIOR, Jesus Christ."~(Titus 2:11-13) Paul gave this same exhortation to "ALL" the churches and we "MUST" heed "ALL" the warnings and "LIVE" GODLY LIVES in this present age... So that when Jesus comes back for His bride, we are "READY" to go with Him! Watch And Pray, My friends...

"Be ALWAYS" on the "WATCH", and "PRAY" that you may be able "TO ESCAPE" all that is about to happen, and that you "MAY BE ABLE" to "STAND" before the "SON OF MAN."~(Luke 21:36)

THERE IS NOTHING GOD CAN'T DO!

                                            THERE IS NOTHING GOD CAN'T DO!


The Bible says: "For "NOTHING" is "IMPOSSIBLE" with GOD."~(Luke 1:37)~(NIV) Do you believe that GOD can do the "IMPOSSIBLE" for you? Jesus says, that,"According to your "FAITH" will it be done to you."(Matthew 9:29) If we truly believe and trust in who GOD really is, the impossible things in our lives... our health, our homes, our families, our finances, etc. They "WILL" all become possibilities, If we believe! "NEVER" forget that Jesus specializes on the impossible things..... "Jesus looked at them and said, "With MAN this is impossible, BUT NOT WITH GOD; ALL things are "POSSIBLE" with GOD."~(Mark 10:27, Matthew 19:26) Question: Did Jesus say some things are possible with God? Answer: NO! He said that "ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD"!!! Amen and Hallelujah!!

Whenever doubt and unbelieve comes to my mind and heart.... I quickly go to Numbers 23:19! And it always reminds me that GOD "CANNOT" lie and that HE is ALWAYS "TRUE" And "FAITHFUL" to "ALL" of His Promises... "God is "NOT" a man, that HE should LIE, NOR a son of man, that HE should CHANGE HIS mind. DOES He speak and THEN not act? DOES He promise and NOT fulfill?~(Numbers 23:19)~WHAT AN AWESOME GOD WE SERVE!

Remember what Jesus said, ,"According to your "FAITH" will it be done to you."~(Matthew 9:29) All we have to do is trust and believe in what Jesus says in His word! If your faith is a little low today then ask God to give you an increase of faith and for patience while waiting for your anwers... "You do not have, because you do not ask God."(James 4:2) Whatever you are in need today... Just ask our Heavenly Father, who is "ALWAYS" listening and ready to help us in our time of need. "...How much more will your Father in heaven GIVE good GIFTS to THOSE who ASK HIM!" ~(Matthew 7:11)


GOD BLESS YOU ALL NOW AND ALWAYS

UNENDING LOVE!

                                                  UNENDING LOVE!


"Who SHALL separate US from the "LOVE" of Christ? Shall Trouble or Hardship or Persecution or Famine or Nakedness or Danger or Sword?"~(Romans 8:35)~Amen!! NOTHING, NO ONE!! Can Separate Us From The "LOVE" Of Jesus Christ! 

"This is "LOVE": not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins."(1 John 4:10)

NOTHING CAN SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD! How Awesome Is That...This Should Keep A Permanent Smile On Our Faces Each And Everyday!

GOD BLESS YOU ALL ALWAYS
YOUR FRIEND,

MEDITATE ON GOD'S WORD DAILY!

MEDITATE ON GOD'S WORD DAILY!


God has wonderful promises for all of those who "FOLLOW" and "OBEY" Him faithfully. GOD will always take care of the "Righteous"... "I was young and now I am old, yet I have "NEVER SEEN" the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread."~(Psalms 37:25 , Psalms 37:4-5 ) For us to have happiness and success as children of God we must be "DOERS" of HIS word (James 1:22). "..."BE CAREFUL" to obey so that it may "GO WELL" with you..."~(Deuteronomy 6:3) According to the "Holy Scriptures", It is then when things will "GO" well for us... When we stay in a committed and devoted relationship wth our God!

The Bible Says:

"BLESSED is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. BUT his "DELIGHT" is in the law of the LORD, AND on HIS law he "MEDITATES" day AND night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. "WHATEVER" he does "PROSPERS."~(Psalms 1:1-3)

God tells this to Joshua... "DO NOT" let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; "MEDITATE" on it day AND  night, SO that you may be careful to do everything written in it. THEN you "WILL BE" prosperous and successful."~(Joshua 1:8)~We "MUST" Obey God "FIRST"..." THEN you (Me/We) will be prosperous and successful."


GOD BLESS YOU ALL NOW AND ALWAYS
