Some follow the Lord for the loaves and fishes, others follow because they love the Lord.

There are so many that follow Jesus for only what He can do for them. They get upset if they don't get what they want, and drop out of following the Lord if they don't like what they hear.

The loaves and fishes, (natural blessings) are nice to have in time of need, but there is so much more to be had, when we follow Jesus, we also receive the spiritual blessings.

A new spirit and love in our heart, joy and peace, that the world can never provide for us.
All the world provides in temporal. Not lasting, not fulfilling, it is full of deception.
The Spiritual blessings God provides for us, are lasting, fulfilling and Eternal.

Yes, God wants to give good gifts to His children,  for those that are following Him all the way until the end. We are a family and we need to stay connected no matter what comes.

Mark 10:28-30
Then Peter began to say to Him, "See we have left all and follow You."
So Jesus answered and said, Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife and children or lands, for My sake and the gospel's, who shall not receive a hundred fold now in this time-houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecution- and in the age to come, eternal life.

God has given those that will follow Him with all their heart, every spiritual blessing.
So we cannot lose, we have the natural provision from the Lord as well as the spiritual blessings.

John 6:63-68
It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are Spirit and life.
"But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him.
And He said, "Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father."
(verse 66)
From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more.
Then Jesus said to the twelve "Do you also want to go away?"

But Peter answered Him, Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.

Please notice these were disciples. Notice also that in John 6:66, this was stated. 666, how interesting.

Are we seeking God's face or just His hand?  Something we need to ask ourselves. Seek the one and only one who has the words of life! Jesus.

You can have the loaves and fishes, but Jesus offers so much more. We have a free will to choose, Choose this day whom you will serve, the world, or the Lord Jesus.

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, ...
