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

8. Journey to The Cross – Jesus is The Bread of Life

Apr10

Simon Peter *said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered, “Where I go, you cannot follow Me now; but you will follow later.”
John 13:36 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.13.36.NASB1995

Therefore Jesus said, “For a little while longer I am with you, then I go to Him who sent Me.
John 7:33 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.7.33.NASB1995

Those who follow Jesus now will follow Him into resurrection later.

As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me.  This is the bread which came down out of heaven; not as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live forever.”
John 6:57-58 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.6.57-58.NASB1995

What a miraculous, wonderful, life worth living promise:

🌹After a little while the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; because I live, you will live also. In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.
John 14:19-20 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.14.19-20.NASB1995

Are you experiencing Jesus in you and you in Him?

Settling

Jan6

And he (Satan) led Him (Jesus) up and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world (the inhabited earth) in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, “I will give You all this domain and its glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.
Luke 4:5-6 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/lk.4.5-6.NASB1995

and he (Satan) said to Him (Jesus), “All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me.”
Matthew 4:9 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.4.9.NASB1995

“The world!” I’m not settling for this world when God offers the best. Good things come to those who wait. The best is yet to come.

Yet those who wait for the Lord Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.
Isaiah 40:31 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.40.31.NASB1995

in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.
2 Timothy 4:8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/2ti.4.8.NASB1995

Jesus’ response to Satan:

. . . “Go, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only.’ ”
Matthew 4:10 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.4.10.NASB1995

🌹What are you settling for?

God loved you so much that He made a way for you to live forever!!!

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
John‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.3.16.NASB1995

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
1 John‬ ‭4:15‭-‬16‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.4.16.NASB1995

By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.

Observe, Be Astonished

Sep21

Things happening in this world may bring fear, uncertainty, and seem as if it is out of control, but God.

By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
1 John 4:13‭-‬15 NASB

How awesome a God You are! Blessing me with Your Holy Spirit! Thank You, God, for the assurance of knowing You abide in me because of Your awesome gift of the Holy Spirit. I am no longer in the flesh but in the Spirit. I belong to You, Lord God!!!
Under the power of the Holy Spirit I will testify and proclaim eternal life through Jesus Christ who was with the Father and was being manifested to us, the Savior of the world. For You, Father, did not send Your Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. “The one who confesses the Son has the Father also”. For this I am eternally grateful, God. Thank You.
I confess with my mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in my heart that You, almighty God raised Him from the dead! Thank You, Father, for my salvation. In the name of my Redeemer I pray, amen.

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

Kingdom Bound

Oct13

Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.”
John 18:36 NASB

The kingdom of God is not of this world. Jesus made that clear. He came to show the way to the kingdom. He paid the price for redemption. And He gave the Holy Spirit to every believer who instructs and leads us in speaking the gospel message, “and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”
Mark 1:15 NASB

🌹Jesus came as the gospel and we are to introduce the gospel to all for God’s kingdom.

He Spoke

Mar4

By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host. 
He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deeps in storehouses.  Let all the earth fear the Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.
Psalms 33:6‭-‬9 NASB

🌹By His word, one breath. . . Do you stand in awe and shear reverence of God? He spoke. . . Done. His commands stand still today.

God, today may we stand in awe of You and the brilliant God You are. To You be the glory for the things You have done! Praise You for the things You are still doing!

Continually Seeking Him,

Sharon
