When Christ has become our source of satisfaction.

Godliness with contentment is great gain.

1Timothy 6-8
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain that we can carry nothing out.
And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.

Peace will follow!
We can only experience this when we are content with all God provides for us, and our loving the Lord and being at peace with what he does provide.

It is very important that we develop a heart of gratitude, this reveals that we trust the Lord in all He does for us.  Our attitude should reveal that we are grateful for any and everything we have.

When we gather together as believers committed to Jesus our Lord, we are to encourage each other and provoke one another to good works, passing on a grateful spirit.

What is godliness?
Godliness is when we show piety, and have a Godlike attitude.
A reverence and a true love for God and His people.

What is  great gain?
This is works that the Holy Spirit produces in us, producing fruit for the kingdom of God.
Gain is revealed when we apply ourselves  to the task of revealing Jesus Christ our Lord to others, either we win a soul to God's kingdom, or we help to advance another to the place God has called them.

The Holy Spirit wants to be invited to have input in our life. He does not force Himself on us, He waits for us to ask.

The Lord must become our source of satisfaction. Otherwise we run off into our own thing that we believe to be a good thing, but it is just not a God thing at this time.

If you are feeling the nudge of the Holy Spirit, then by all means, go ahead with what is on your heart to do. God always supplies for the work He has called us to do.

Until that time, be content with where He has you, and be productive in the body of Christ right where you are at.

Philippians 4:11
Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content.

Being content with where we are right now,  this will give us joy, and a peace.  There will be no unrest in our soul.
No questions of, am I doing the right thing at this time?  There is a joy deep down that says, follow the Holy Spirit's lead, and all will be well, and God's peace will be on your path.

God bless your day
Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus
Joy

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...
