Who Are We Sowing For?

Oct29

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.
Galatians 6:7 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.6.7.NASB1995

1. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption,
but
2. The one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
Galatians 6:8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.6.8.NASB1995

What are we sowing in our life?
What are we reaping for eternity?

🌹Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.

Unstained by The World

Aug7

You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
James 4:4 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.4.4.NASB1995

Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1 John 2:15 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.2.15.NASB1995

because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
Romans 8:7-8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.8.7-8.NASB1995

🌹Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: . . . to keep oneself unstained by the world.
James 1:27 NASB1995

Born Again?!

Oct16

Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
John 3:3 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.3.3.NASB1995

Are  you seeing the kingdom of God at work in the world today?

Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and 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.
John 3:5‭-‬6 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.3.5-6.NASB1995

Have you been born of the Spirit?

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
John 1:12-13 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.1.12-13.NASB1995

He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
Titus 3:5 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/tit.3.5.NASB1995

🌹Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances.
Ezekiel 36:26-27 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/ezk.36.25-27.NASB1995

To God be the glory for His mercy, grace and salvation.

1 John 2:15-17

Aug22

Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves 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 boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.
1 John 2:15‭-‬17 NASB

Eternal God of pure and perfect love, Your will be done on earth as it in heaven.
Lord I seek Your forgiveness for indulging in the desires of the flesh and of the mind, making me no different from the world. For I know that friendship with the world is hostility toward You, God. Of this I ask forgiveness. I do not want to be an enemy of my God so I will turn to You and repent.
I put on the Lord Jesus Christ and will make no provision for the flesh and will abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against my soul so as to have the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of mankind, but for Your will O God.
Help me God and Father to keep myself pure and undefiled – unstained by the world.
By Your grace and power I will not conform myself to this world, but will be transformed by the renewing of my mind, so that I may prove what Your will is, God, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
God, grant me endurance, as a slave of Christ doing Your will from my heart so that when I have done Your will O God, I may receive what was promised.
Transform me for Your glory my God. This I pray in Jesus name. Amen.
Ephesians 2:3/James 4:4/Romans 13:14/1 Peter 2:11/1 Peter 4:2/James 1:27/Romans 12:2/Hebrews 10:36/Ephesians 6:6 NASB

🌹For whoever does the will of God, he is My brother and sister and mother.”  – Jesus
Mark 3:35 NASB

Surrendered?

Dec6

Therefore, since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
1 Peter 4:1‭-‬2 NASB

Jesus suffered in the flesh for our sake. He showed us our purpose — to cease from the ways of the world. He is the way.
Have you ever really weighed the weight of your sin? Thought about how damaging sin is to your life? Have you surrendered your life, your flesh to God? Are you seeking God’s will in all you say and do? Or are you still living in and for your flesh – “me”?

Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.  .  . Matthew 6:33

🌹 Have you surrendered your will, your way, your purpose, your life to God?

Continually Seeking Him,

Sharon

Where is Your Treasure?

Oct9

It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.
John 6:63 NASB

“For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?Matthew 6:25 NASB

Where is your focus?

The Spirit is life. Walking in God is life. Seeking God is life. Loving God is life. All the cares of this world will one day mean absolutely nothing. What will matter are the things eternal.

But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Matthew 6:33 NASB

🌹 Again. Where is Your focus?

for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Matthew 6:21 NASB

The Good in Me

Sep30

The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God,” They are corrupt, and have committed abominable injustice; There is no one who does good. Every one of them has turned aside; together they have become corrupt; There is no one who does good, not even one. Psalms 53:1‭, ‬3 NASB

The one who says there is no God will not do good. There is no good in our flesh.

For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. Romans 7:18 NASB

Good in me does not come naturally since my nature is to sin. I may be willing to do good but the accomplishment of good is beyond my capabilities. Good in me is only accomplished by the One who lives in me.

And He said to him, “Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.” Matthew 19:17 NASB

Does He live in you?

🌹God is the good in me.

“Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts.”
Zechariah 4:6b NASB

“But by My Spirit”

“Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the Lord, “Who execute a plan, but not Mine, And make an alliance, but not of My Spirit, In order to add sin to sin;”
Isaiah 30:1 NASB

“but not of My Spirit,”

“Thus says the Lord, “Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind And makes flesh his strength, And whose heart turns away from the Lord.”
Jeremiah 17:5 NASB

We make plans. We put our trust in alliances that are not of God. We trust in our own intellect, our own weak strengths. But did not God give us His Spirit to teach, guide, protect, strengthen by His power and might? Our hearts are turned away when we trust in anything or anyone other than the Lord Himself.

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord And whose trust is the Lord.”
Jeremiah 17:7 NASB

Not only trusting IN Him but whose trust IS Him.

Is: be: continuous action

🌹 Is your life demonstrating that God IS your trust?

Are You Righteous?

Jun24

Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and the earth was filled with violence. God looked on the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth. — Genesis 6:11-12

Is this what God sees today? The last time God beheld earth this way, He destroyed all flesh with a flood (except for Noah, and his family, because He was found righteous in God’s eyes). Will you be found or are you righteous in God’s eyes?

Admit that you are a sinner in need of forgiveness. Believe that Jesus, the Son of God, is that Savior who grants forgiveness. Believe that He died on the cross for you, was buried and three days later rose from the dead. Then confess that Jesus is Lord and follow Him.

By His blood you can be clothed in righteousness. What’s stopping you?

Continually seeking Him,

Sharon
