Do You KNOW Him?

Oct15

Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery and swear falsely, and offer sacrifices to Baal and walk after other gods that you have not known, then come and stand before Me in this house, which is called by My name, and say, ‘We are delivered!’—that you may do all these abominations? Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of robbers in your sight? Behold, I, even I, have seen it,” declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 7:9-11 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jer.7.9-11.NASB1995

Do they spite Me?” declares the Lord. “Is it not themselves they spite, to their own shame?”
Jeremiah 7:19 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jer.7.19.NASB1995

But this is what I commanded them, saying, ‘Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you will be My people; and you will walk in all the way which I command you, that it may be well with you.’
Jeremiah 7:23 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jer.7.23.NASB1995

What does the church look like today? What does our walk with God look like?

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 
Matthew 7:21 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.7.21.NASB1995

🌹but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things,” declares the Lord.

Prayer Offered in Faith -2

Sep8

Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.
James 5:16 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.5.16.NASB2995

Confession of our sins to one another is not for condemnation but for healing by the power of faithful prayer for one another.

Jesus paid the price for our benefit, to be healed from the power of sin and to live in righteousness.

🌹and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.
1 Peter 2:24 NASB1995

Faith: Soul Preserver

Jul8

But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?
Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result (by the deeds) of the works, faith was perfected (completed); and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness,” and he was called the friend of God.
James 2:20-23 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.2.20-23.NASB1995

The work of God is that we believe in Jesus. The gift of God is grace through faith.
John 6:29/Ephesians 2:8 NASB1995

Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.
James 2:17 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.2.17.NASB1995

🌹But My righteous one shall live by faith; And if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him. But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul.

Listen Before You Speak

Jun16

This you know (know this), my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God.
James 1:19-20 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.1.19-20.NASB1995

Continuing speaking on the subject of trials we know we must encounter them with joy (James 1:2), but we must also be quick to listen, to hear what is really being spoken, to get full understanding.
A person who talks too much gets into trouble. A wise person learns to be quiet. The more you talk, the more likely you are to sin. If you are wise, you will keep quiet for the one who controls his lips is wise. (Proverbs 10:19)
In the quiet you will be taking time to allow God through His Spirit to give you the words to speak.
So don’t allow your spirit to be provoked, causing anger to settle in you. Don’t be quick to lose your temper, for outrage is embraced by fools. (Ecclesiastes 7:9)

🌹for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.

Chosen To Be Kind

May15

. . . as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of kindness
Colossians 3:12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.3.12.NASB1995

Did you know that kindness is a fruit of the Spirit? As God’s chosen we have the indwelling Spirit of God residing in us. Kindness, what a gift to practice and display for the glory of God!
(Galatians 5:22 NASB1995)

Do you know Jesus? Today if you seek Jesus, you can become one of His chosen and be filled with His kindness.

Sow with a view to righteousness, Reap in accordance with kindness; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the Lord Until He comes to rain righteousness on you.
Hosea 10:12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/hos.10.12.NASB1995

🌹Do not let kindness and truth leave you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart.

Clothed in Preistly Righteousness

May13

. . . as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved,
Colossians 3:12a NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.3.12.NASB1995

Believer, we are a new person, in the likeness of God. Put on the Lord Jesus Christ; be clothed in His righteousness.
Ephesians 4:24/Romans 13:14/Job 29:14

I will rejoice greatly in the Lord, My soul will exult in my God; For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Isaiah 61:10 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.61.10.NASB1995

If you are not a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and are ready to confess your need for His salvation; take a moment to ask Jesus to come into your life and lead you in the way you should go. Make a heartfelt request asking forgiveness for the sin Jesus died for you, so you may be clothed in His righteousness for eternity.
When you have done this, seek a believer and a Pastor, and tell them. Continue to seek God through the Bible, Bible Study, Church. You won’t be sorry.

🌹Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, And let Your godly ones sing for joy.

11. Journey to The Cross – The Promised Holy Spirit

Apr15

“But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’

But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.
And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment;
John 16:5, 7-8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.16.5-8.NASB1995

That Your way may be known on the earth, Your salvation among all nations.
Psalms 67:1-2 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.67.1-2.NASB1995

Psalms 119:103 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.119.103.NASB1995

The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether. They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb. Moreover, by them Your servant is warned; In keeping them there is great reward.
