Look To God And Stand Christian!
( Sifting Out The Hearts of Men)
(Caps and Quotation marks are Used Herein Solely For Divine Emphasis)
You are here by Divine Appointment. God answers prayer and I thank you for coming to sit at His feet with me. I ask one thing of you dear heart. Do take your time in reading this message. In the upcoming days, you'll find you will want to read it again and again, for it is Living Word.
This message is a trumpet call of warning to those who profess Christianity, and to those who are spiritually asleep in unbelief and preoccupation. The signs of the times are upon us all. We must be fortified with God by 'knowing His Word' so as to discern, i.e. able to recognize, stand and withstand the evils of our day. Wide awake In Christ.
The answers you seek are all in God's Word, The Holy Bible. Everything we deal with in this life has His insightful direction for it there. Study it. Let it nourish your spiritual mind and soul each day. Believe it. Do it. While we are in there, we gain 'The Mind of God ~ His views' we 'believe' in Him and His working with humanity. Faith. Like anything in this life, we get out of it what we put into it. I speak in particular to realizing and tossing from our 'self' what would hinder our individual Consecration to God. And, always be a very diligent praying person with Father God.
Hebrews 12: 1 ~ 4
" Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about
with so great a cloud of witnesses,
let us lay aside every weight,
and the sin which doth so easily beset (hinder, bind, preoccupy) us,
and let us run with patience the race (unencumbered ~ to win)
that is set before us,
Looking unto Jesus
The Author and Finisher of our Faith;
Who for the joy that was set before Him
endured the Cross, despising the shame,
and is set down at the right hand of The Throne of God.
For consider Him
that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself,
lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. "
Jeremiah 29: 13
" And ye shall Seek Me, and find Me,
When ye shall Search for Me with All your heart."
1 Thessalonians 5: 12, 13
" And we beseech you, brethren,
to know them which labor among you,
and are over you in The Lord, and admonish you;
And to esteem them very highly in love
for their work's sake.
And be at peace among yourselves. "
Hebrews 13:7, 17
" Remember them which have the rule over you,
who have spoken unto you The Word of God:
Whose faith follow,
considering the end of their conversation...
... for they watch for your souls,
as they that must give account,
that they may do it with joy,
and not with grief:
for that is unprofitable for you. "
Changes!! ~ Indeed, many things and people in 'the world and the church' have changed ~ and are changing. (And not for the better either) Signs of the time of the end. Get yourself ready. BE....ready...for whatever. You and Jesus. Ready to stand, speak and withstand.
There is more to come. For, it shall wax worse and worse on all fronts. Be Faithful to God in all things.
Luke 16: 10 (Jesus said)
"He that is Faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much:
and he that is Unjust in the least is unjust also in much. "
Now is the time for all pulpits (preachers that are indeed called of God Himself) to give forth the Pure Holy Word of God without compromise;
addressing 'sin issues' of the lifestyles many have adopted for their self. Thus, 'no blood dripping from the preacher's hands for not giving forth' thus saith The Lord God Almighty.
Romans 1: 16 ~ 22
" 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 shall live by Faith.
For The Wrath of God is revealed from Heaven
Against all Ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,
Who hold the Truth in Unrighteousness;
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them;
for God hath shewed it unto them.
For the invisible things of Him
from The Creation of the world are clearly seen,
being understood by the things that are made,
even His Eternal Power and Godhead;
so that they are without excuse:
Because that, when they knew God,
They Glorified Him Not as GOD,
neither were Thankful;
but became Vain in their Imaginations,
and their Foolish heart was Darkened.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became Fools,.."
Now is the time for everyone to turn to God and His Word, without reservation.
Now is the time to place ourselves under His Divine covering, influence and control.
Now, is the time for repentance for those pet sins that Christians engage in. (James 3)
Now is the time to Honor God in our will, spirit, words, time, fastings and prayer life.
Now is the time to call all people into 'relationship with Jesus Christ'.
A turn-around..while we may! No one is exempt.
We are living in a day when things are swirling all around us. The things people once controlled are 'out of control'.
Stressed and fearful, 'professing' Christians alongside unbelievers, are looking for the good wherever they can find it.
People are looking for remedies and answers to 'quick fix' the storms within them and on the Horizon.
Worldliness, carnal mindedness, self-seeking, pretenses, flesh coddling is not helpful. Hypocrisy.
Such things Grieve God's Holy Spirit and Hinder His working with the hearts of humanity.
In itself is a Call To Sincere Repenting before a Holy God Who we 'profess' to Belong to and Represent.
'Sir, we would See JESUS!' (John 12: 21)
True Believers want to hear and embrace to their heart, God's Holy Word. All of it. (see Amos 8) These ~ are His Dear Children.
'Churchianity' has and is ~ sliming many to 'sleep in false security' in the 'name' of Christianity and church.
Programs of man vs. God's Word and Sanctification of souls.
Crosses and altar calls being replaced with theatrics of dancing, waving banners, drama skits...all 'like the world' (bringing attention to the people of such rather than Christ and His Gospel) in an 'attempt' to gain them to Christ.
Even the devil knows what is wrong with this and loves it. Oh yes, he loves this 'playground' for he's gaining more and more for himself stealthily and in 'pretense and self-exalting' this way.
People come into a service in Bondage and go out the same way, just feeling better. Not Delivered from vices of Sin.
'Flesh profits Nothing...Flesh is an Enemy of God' and Hinders and brings Shame on Father God and His Holy Will for man.
There are 'no Bible examples' for 'preaching or reaching souls' like This. Quite the opposite.
There 'are Bible examples' for 'Jesus and His Word and Teachings being preached'. Period.
This Giving Forth God's Holy Word in His Holy Spirit's Anointing ~ is how one Sees Divine Truth, and has 'conviction and compunction of heart unto Salvation'. Thus, to Forever 'grow up In The Lord' unto a Lifestyle of Sanctification with God. Holy ~ in their human spirit; Holy ~ in their heart with God and man; Holy ~ in all manner of Speech and Lifestyle. Thus, Glorifying God and His Sacred Word for all to See and Learn of ~ Him.
Ezekiel 2: 4 ~ 10
.." For they are Impudent children and Stiff Hearted.
I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them,
Thus Saith The Lord God.
And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear,
(for They are a Rebellious house,)
yet shall know that there hath been a Prophet among them.
And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them,
neither be afraid of their words,
though Briers and Thorns be with thee,
and thou dost dwell among Scorpions:
be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks,
though they be a Rebellious house.
And thou shalt Speak My Words unto them,
whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear:
for they are most Rebellious.
But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee;
Be not thou Rebellious like that Rebellious house:
Open Thy mouth, and Eat that I Give thee.
And when I looked, behold, an Hand was sent unto me;
and, lo, a Roll of a Book was therein;
And He spread it before me;
and it was written within and without:
and there was written therein Lamentations,
and Mourning, and Woe. "
Souls...Precious souls that Sweet Jesus Agonized For through His Own Multitude of Suffering to His Heart and Flesh~ .... Need Touched and Affected for God's Kingdom, and man's methods do 'not' get this done. It IS The Holy Spirit that Convicts the heart of people with God's Holy Word preached in His Anointing.
Conscience is stirred and dark glasses of 'religious works' are exposed and stripped of their control.
Repentance comes forth which produces the 'fruit of a Godly living life' that is Not World-like but CHRISTlike.' Hallelujah!!!
Those wide awake 'in Relationship with Jesus Christ' see this...feel this...for what it is.
'Come ye out and be ye separate, saith The Lord'.
If you are in such a building that is called a church 'with these fruits', get out of there and find one that is Biblical.
One where The Word of God and Reverent Worship in Prayer, Fastings, and The Anointing of THE Holy Spirit is In Control.
LET GOD 'Control you Inside and Out' and then 'Go Forth In His Anointing as 'you' teach Jesus and His Word = souls.
'You shall Know The Truth and The Truth Shall set you Free.' :) = Souls Unto God and Under God Himself. Hallelujah!
See The Book of Acts ~ The Beginning of 'Christianity' ~ if you have a problem seeing the fake from the real in the 'name of GOD's Will'. And, go and Do the Same your self.
Get in and stay in The Word of God ~ And Do 'It' ~ for That is the Only Way you shall Have 'True Discernment between good and evil...in and out of a church building'. This is most serious.....that YOU Follow Jesus Faithful in least and much....wherever you are and whomever you are around. That YOU Keep your self 'spotless and Untainted from the Worldly' ways, lifestyles, and methods.
Your, my...Eternity depends on 'what/who we are Influenced And Controlled' by. Our 'own Spiritual Heart condition' shows.
(A person can be in 10 church houses; That does 'not' make you a Christian; i.e. you can be in 10 garages; That does 'not' make you a car.)
As Jesus said. 'By their fruits...you shall know...them.'
Always remember that when we suffer enough, The Word of God is 'Not just words' to us, but It becomes Living Reality~God's Eternal Word. Our Lifeline! For God's Word is Full of The Holy Spirit and we are Eternally Touched and Changed by it. Clarity. Pointing the way through what we find our self involved in ~ within and without. There ~ Confusion, Unbelief, Sins, Hindrances, and all else ~ is Defined with Divine Illumination And Holy Guidance. We Know and have the Opportunity for Change as we Choose according To Father God's Holy Uncompromising Counsel.
Isaiah 5: 13 ~ 15, 20
" Therefore My people are gone into Captivity,
Because they Have No Knowledge:
and their Honorable men are famished,
and their multitude Dried up with thirst.
Therefore Hell hath enlarged herself,
and opened her mouth without measure:
and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp,
and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
And the Mean man shall be brought down,
and the mighty man shall be Humbled,
and the Eyes of the Lofty shall be Humbled:
But The Lord of Hosts shall be Exalted In Judgment,
and God that Is Holy shall be Sanctified In Righteousness...
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil;
that put darkness for Light, and Light for darkness;
that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! "
2 Timothy 3: 1 ~ 5 and 12 ~ 17
" This know also,
that in The Last Days Perilous times shall come.
For men shall be lovers of their own Selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
Without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers,
incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
Traitors, heady, high-minded,
lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
Having a Form of godliness,
but Denying The power thereof:
from such turn away...
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,
Thoroughly Furnished unto all Good works. "
Malachi 3: 14 ~ 18
" Ye have said, It is Vain to Serve God:
and what profit is it that we have Kept His Ordinance,
and that we have walked mournfully before The Lord of Hosts?
And now we call the proud happy;
yea, they that work wickedness are set up;
yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
Then they that feared (respected, revered, obeyed) The Lord
spake often one to another:
and The Lord ... heard it,
and a Book of Remembrance was written before Him
for them that feared (respected, revered, obeyed) The Lord,
and that thought upon His Name.
And They shall be Mine, Saith The Lord of Hosts,
in that day when I make up My Jewels;
and I will spare them,
as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
Then shall ye return,
and Discern between the Righteous and the Wicked,
between him that Serveth God
and him that Serveth Him Not. "
A Christian stands in agreement with God and His Word, without compromise or apology; without showing partiality to persons. (Please see Mark 13: 7-11)
Whether alone, or together, The Army of The Lord shall stand against all the wiles of the devil and Unbelief.
Persecution against believers in Jesus Christ is no longer just 'out there in another country'; it Is Here people, IN THE USA, and Shall continue to Grow Worse.
Numerous things Are and Shall be a 'Test upon All people on earth'. It has been Already, and Shall Be in new measure. Where some haven't seen things as God does, even these Shall See things transparently Clear and Have to STAND OR BOW. CHOICES~To WHOM AND FOR WHAT?
The Upcoming days shall Call On our Personal 'Priority of heart'.This, Among Believers And Unbelievers.
God is No respecter of persons while HE IS 'SIFTING OUT THE HEARTS OF MAN'. ALL Will Choose by their Own Heart and lifestyle.
1 Peter 4: 16 ~ 19
" Yet if Any man Suffer as a Christian,
let him Not be Ashamed;
but let him Glorify God on This behalf.
For the Time Is come that
Judgment must begin at the House of God:
and if it first begin at us,
What shall the end be of them
that Obey Not The Gospel of God?
And if the Righteous Scarcely be saved,
Where shall the Ungodly and the sinner Appear?
Wherefore let them that Suffer according to The will of God
Commit the Keeping of their souls to Him in Well Doing,
As Unto A Faithful Creator. "
With some, it shall create a 'pulpit/platform' by which His saints and Ministry Shall Speak 'Thus Saith The Lord'... Prepared, 'IN The Mind of Christ'. Mark 13: 7-11.
These are the Forerunners, having been Seasoned for Years By GOD in Doing Front Line Combat 'IN the World and The Heavenlies with Him.'
At Every 'Crossroad of Choice' SUCH PEOPLE HAVE CHOSEN HIM AND HIS FAVOR OVER THE APPROVAL AND ACCEPTANCE OF MAN; OR, ANYTHING ELSE THAT WOULD SEEK TO WOO THEIR 'HEART AWAY' FROM STAYING IN HOLY COMMUNION WITH GOD HIMSELF.
Tragically, some shall Not Have the Spiritual Guts with Love, to ' Stand With God and His Word or His saints', having Not Followed His command in The Great Commission themselves. (a warning and exhortation to us to 'occupy until He comes')
Cowardice in men-pleasing and fear of man's reaction was more important to them then pulling souls out of Hell's grasp in the highways and hedges...following Jesus' example there.
In Bondage to Their Own 'Self-Seeking', such people Being Ashamed to Speak of HIM AS THEY GO, Won't be Able to Stand Shoulder to Shoulder with the True Christians either. Many are Divided Now from one another.
Betrayal shall come forth repeatedly From 'brethren, family members, friends, associates, etc.'
All shall be Tried by Fire.
2 Corinthians 3: 13 ~ 19
" Every man's Work Shall Be made Manifest:
for The Day shall Declare It,
because it shall be Revealed by Fire;
and the Fire shall Try every man's work of what Sort it Is.
If any man's Work Abide which He hath Built thereupon,
he Shall receive a Reward.
If any man's work shall be burned,
he shall suffer loss:
but he himself shall be saved;
yet so as by Fire.
Know ye not that ye are the Temple of God,
and that The Spirit of God dwelleth In you?
If any man defile the Temple of God,
him shall God Destroy;
for the Temple of God is Holy,
which Temple ye are.
Let no man Deceive himself.
If Any man among you Seemeth to be wise in This world,
let him Become a Fool,
that he may Be Wise.
For the wisdom of This World
Is Foolishness with GOD.
For it is Written,
He Taketh the wise in their Own Craftiness. "
Matthew 10: 32, 33 Jesus said:
" Whosoever therefore Shall Confess Me Before men,
him Will I Confess also Before My Father which is In Heaven.
But Whosoever shall Deny Me before men,
him will I Also Deny Before My Father
which is In Heaven."
Christ sets us Free; 'Who The Spirit sets Free Is Free Indeed.'
If we Sit With Jesus in Surrender To His Holy Word and Worship Him, we 'Have Divine Water to Bring To the Desert' i.e., lost souls. Love. God has and shall always reach out to lost souls.
No 'program or group' is needful to do so.
The Holy Spirit does this Through us. Jesus ... is our Leader.
He still 'speaks of His Father and Himself in the highways and hedges, Through His Faithful children!' He has Not changed!
John 15: 26 (Jesus said)
" But when The Comforter (Holy Spirit) is come,
Whom I will Send unto you From The Father,
even The Spirit of Truth, which proceedeth From The Father,
He Shall Testify of Me:.."
Moral decline is rampant because God has been thrown into the ditch and trampled under foot, being 'not preferred'. So I ask you dear hearts, 'Who is smarter than God Almighty, The Divine Creator of this entire Universe and its peoples? Can...those who think they are so intelligent make the dew drops on the rose; the fragrance of a lily of the valley; or, put the red on a cardinal, the unique chirping sound of each bird inside of it, or keep the moon, stars and sun standing up there in the Sky?' (etc. etc. etc.)
We are seeing every single day, the 'fruits' of shucking His Divine Wisdom and Guidance. Unbelief! And the same people who say to believe in your 'self', say they do not believe in God. Duh!
People who want what they want at anyone else's cost, spend their days in 'other busyness'. What...really...matters dear one?
People in church buildings attend services, only to go home to do their own whims, not even getting into God's Word all week long. Relationship?
Children are sent to school, out into the malls with money and/or charge cards,...without spiritual clothes on, naked, without protection. Love? See Ephesians 6: 11-19.
Many 'parents' could take lessons from the Animal kingdom on how to do 'proper parenting with God-given techniques and skills'. It is a sad state of affairs when we see animals have become much better 'parents' than too many people. Whew!
We, in America, are 'reaping the fruits' of the early 1960's on. (and yes, it is throughout our world now) Back then, I was shocked by what I heard on T.V. from Unbelieving so-called 'Intellectual philosophical' people, Spewing out 'if it feels good do it', 'we are gods unto our self', 'self-expression', in Unbelieving Defiance, proud, self-exalting and self-seeking arrogant speech against God.
(He gave us our 'breath' and He shall also take it!) Today, it has evolved far beyond that producing 'harvested fruit' from those 'Anti-God Rebellious Self-coddling seeds' that were propagated then. Too, with multitudes that 'profess' Christianity' in 'Lukewarm Self-seeking Agendas and Lifestyles' which 'Are Being Read very Closely by 'Professing Unbelievers' all around them.
Psalms 53: 1
" The FOOL hath said in his heart,
There is No God.
Corrupt Are They,
and Have Done Abominable iniquity (sins):
there is none that doeth good. "
All the End-Time-Signs
The Holy Bible says to look for prior to The Lord's Return,
have happened.
He could come while you are reading this.
Are you ready...to see Him...eye-to-Eye?
Look Up.
Your Redemption draws near!
Hebrews 9: 27, 28
"And as it is appointed unto men once to die,
but After this The Judgment:
So Christ was Once offered to bear the Sins of many;
and unto them that Look For Him
shall He Appear The Second Time
Without Sin unto Salvation. "
Colossians 2: 6 ~ 8
"As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus The Lord,
so Walk ye In Him:
Rooted and Built Up IN Him,
and Established In The Faith,
as ye have been taught,
Abounding therein with thanksgiving.
Beware lest Any man Spoil you
Through Philosophy and Vain Deceit,
After the tradition of Men,
after the Rudiments of the World,
and Not After Christ. "
Romans 8: 1, 5 - 8
" There is therefore now No Condemnation
To Them which Are IN Christ Jesus,
Who Walk Not After the Flesh,
But After The Spirit...
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.
Because the Carnal mind IS Enmity (enemy) Against God:
for It is Not Subject To the law of God,
Neither indeed Can Be.
So then They that are In the Flesh
Cannot Please God. "
Our 'world society as a whole and the church' is so opposite from when I grew up in the 1930's-1950's when God and The Bible were Exalted and Validated With Reverence. Also, those who Believed in God...were shown great respect being treated accordingly. Indeed, their Lives and Speech ~ Showed they were Sincere.
Back then, we were as most in America (you see that in the classical movies) taught to Revere and Obey God, from Elementary school up ~ in Support of Godly teachings and living that was Prevalent in most 'homes' in a child's upbringing.
Our manner of speech displayed that for 'out of the abundance of the heart a man speaketh'. Very, very true then...and now.
In all age brackets, our elders passed it down to the younger as The Holy Bible directs us to do, teaching a Reverence for God, cultivating Modesty in Heart, spirit, and apparel..being a 'lady and a gentleman'. We had examples of it too. Black and white; absolutes that we could pattern our life's choices after. No problem in doing so either... for anyone. We all just 'lovingly flowed together with God and one another'. Sweet. Beautiful and easy....like all The Workings of The Holy Spirit in people's hearts and lifestyles.
Then...as it is now and forever shall be, it IS right or wrong. Period. We just simply agreed with Almighty God...gladly! No problem.
Thus, becoming upstanding responsible citizens in His Kingdom and in our world, assets to our society instead of a liability. Accountability!
Wisdom!
Back in the early 1940's plus, I remember each morning in school started with The Lord's Prayer, The Pledge of Allegiance, along with a Scripture given to us. It was in a small black and white print McGuffey's Reader, each page showing a true-to-life picture with a situation in life, to apply that daily Scripture to in our life and relationships. Thus, Spiritual Guidance at home and at school. Wisdom!
No one was ever told 'DO NOT MENTION GOD'. Why...THAT...would have been shot back to Hell where it came from. Zilch! Such Audacity!
Wherever you were, home and out, most people Shined For Him and Spoke OF Him and prayer. Respectability.
No guns or knives or mean children were in our school either.
No disrespect to their elders or even to one another was spoken or shown.
No fit throwing or any displays of anger which reflect selfishness and a rebellious will against what is Godly and right.
No 'toleration' of anything disrespectful, unkind, irreverent or hurtful either.
It just didn't have the 'playground laid for it'. Why?
God and The Holy Bible were Reverenced, Honoring Its Divine Wisdom from GOD Himself; Thus, validated and taught in the schools.
Then, 'True Christian Character' and 'Morality' was in the majority of people around you Wherever you were.
Now, embracing and living by our Lord's commands, is in the minority of people around us and growing moreso. As is 'virginity'.
Decency was taught, lauded, and admired; Not, condemned nor ostracized against those who lived as such.
Perverted Judgment has proceeded forth. Do read throughout here, Holy Scriptures Father God gave me through His Holy Spirit to pen into this sermon. Yes, times change ...... but God's Expectations AND His Judgment of us all ~ Does not.
John 12: 48 Jesus said:
"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."
Habbakkuk 1: 3 ~ 5
" Why dost Thou shew me Iniquity,
and cause me to behold Grievance?
for spoiling and violence are before me:
and there Are that raise up Strife and Contention.
Therefore The Law is Slacked,
and Judgment doth never go forth:
for the Wicked doth Compass about The Righteous;
Therefore Wrong Judgment proceedeth.
Behold ye Among the Heathen,
and regard, and wonder marvelously:
for I Will Work a work in your days
which ye will Not Believe,
Though It be Told you. "
I remember when it was 'normal' and 'beneath people' to live anything else but What God wanted. Praise God. How refreshing. Also, 'if you wouldn't want it done to you...you don't do that to another'. (Christ's 2 Great Commandments)
Of course, This was all Before self-Coddling Undisciplined Rebelliousness was being exalted through t.v.'s sit-coms, daily talk shows, the medical profession, etc. Even before the, 'feel sorry for me', 'I can't', 'I need','I'd rather','But I want', 'But I feel' catering to rebellion in selfishness, and being irresponsible. I, I, I,....that Jesus Christ came to save us all from. Self! So...bottom line?
'Fess up to your own shortcomings, take your 'self' by the scruff of the neck, and straighten up and fly right' mother used to say to us while growing up. Also, 'Behave yourself. God is watching you. Don't hurt His heart.' And, 'Quit feeling sorry for your self'.
With such Priorities 'Under God', we had wonderful, peaceable and joyous relationships together too.
We simply Cared...What GOD KNEW OF EACH OF US AND THOUGHT of us and how we were affecting Him.
We wanted GOD'S Approval on us and Lived as such With Him and others.
And we learned too, that if we fell into sin, Not to Stay in That, but to really be sorry for it..Repent!
Tell God, and then Show Him Our Sincerity by Going forth and Doing Right in His Sight. Ditto!
One cannot do what is wrong and feel right.
One cannot do what is wrong in God's sight against His Word, and have it come out right! Nor, have Him bless it. He curses what is wrong.
God loves His children. If we truly want His blessings upon us and our children, then we must Show HIM our Love by what HE knows and feels with each one of us INside.
What we Be INside, is What we Shall ultimately Choose and Do. A Lifestyle of That.
What Divine Wisdom and Knowledge the God-fearing fathers and mothers possess. They teach their children to believe God and His Word; making their choices accordingly. A Heart For God that their children Witness and Hear in that 'father and mother's' time in...and lifestyle choices.'
What a blessing to have such a parent. What a distinct 'privilege'.
Many times I've thanked Father for my own praying and God-revering mother's teachings to us children. I'm so happy I thanked her for 'this Great Inheritance' of Belief in God and living by His laws.
Proverbs 22: 6
" Train up a child in the way he should go:
and when he is old, he will not depart from it. "
Deuteronomy 11: 16 ~ 19
" Take heed to yourselves,
that your heart be not deceived,
and ye turn aside,
and serve other gods,
(self-will, pride, materialism, sports, rebellion,etc.)
and worship them;
And then The Lord's Wrath be kindled against you,
and He shut up The Heaven, that there be no rain,
and that the land yield not her fruit;
and lest ye perish quickly
from off the good land which The Lord giveth you.
Therefore shall ye lay up these My Words
in your heart and in your soul,
and bind them for a sign upon your hand,
that they may be as front lets between your eyes.
And Ye shall Teach Them (God's Word) to your children,
Speaking of Them (God's Word) when thou sittest in thine house,
and when thou walkest by the way,
when thou liest down,
and when thou risest up."
(A Christian ~ Parent)
Ephesians 6:10 ~ 13
" Finally, my brethren, be Strong IN The Lord,
and IN The Power of HIS Might.
Put on The Whole Armor 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 Armor of God,
that Ye may Be Able to Withstand in the Evil day,
and Having Done all,
to Stand."
People, these days that we are living in ~ so many folks don't know where to look for their answers.
Even when we tell them to read their Bible, ...what? (like I used to be)
We must share with them....where....to read it...for what they need to know of it, for God's will and answers in their own life and walk with Christ.
Rummaging through one book after another on the store shelves and internet, people are seeking...and many can't find their answers.
The sad truth is, this now exists because for years, those who profess to be Christians, exhibited 'other priorities' than sitting at the feet of Jesus in His Word, prayer for others, and bringing His Word into the hearts of the people they've met.
The Great Commission...Jesus said, 'Go into all the world...'
That starts with those we live with, into our neighborhood, the marketplaces, etc.
Not in another country while refusing to be witnesses to those in arm's reach.
Isaiah 55: 10, 11
For as the Rain cometh down,
and the Snow from Heaven, and returneth not thither,
but watereth the earth,
and maketh it bring forth and bud,
that it may give seed to the sower,
and bread to the eater:
So shall My Word be that goeth forth out of My mouth:
It shall not return unto Me void,
but IT SHALL ACCOMPLISH THAT WHICH I PLEASE,
and IT SHALL PROSPER in the Thing Whereto I Sent IT. "
Luke 4: 4
" And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written,
That man shall not Live By bread alone,
but by Every Word of God. "
Matthew 25: 1 ~ 13 Jesus Christ said:
" Then shall The Kingdom of Heaven be likened unto ten virgins,
which took their lamps,
and went forth to meet The Bridegroom.
And five of them were Wise,
and five were Foolish.
They that were Foolish took their lamps,
and took no oil with them:
But the Wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
While the Bridegroom tarried,
they all slumbered and slept.
And at midnight there was a cry made,
Behold, The Bridegroom cometh;
go ye out to meet Him.
Then all those virgins arose,
and trimmed their lamps.
And the Foolish said unto the wise,
Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
But the Wise answered, saying, not so;
lest there be not enough for us and you:
but go ye rather to them that sell,
and buy for yourselves.
And while they went to buy,
The Bridegroom came;
and they that were READY WENT IN WITH HIM
TO The Marriage:
and The Door was Shut.
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying,
Lord, Lord, open to us.
But He answered and said,
Verily (Truly) I say to you,
I KNOW YOU NOT
Watch therefore,
for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein
THE SON of man COMETH. "
