OUR WORDS AND WORKS SHOULD BE IN HARMONY WITH THE WORD OF GOD.

PEOPLE CAN SAY A LOT OF THINGS THAT SOUND REAL GOOD TO OUR EARS, BUT SAYING AND DOING ARE TO DIFFERENT THINGS.

 JAMES 1:22
BUT BE DOERS OF THE WORD, AND NOT HEARERS ONLY, DECEIVING YOURSELVES.

 WORDS COME EASIER THAN DEEDS DO.  IF WE SAY SOMETHING WITHOUT THINKING IT THROUGH FIRST, WE CAN LOOK FOOLISH IF WE DIDN'T FOLLOW THROUGH.

 SINCE FAITH AND WORKS GO TOGETHER, WE NEED TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT OUR WORKS ARE OF GOD, DONE BY STEPPING OUT IN FAITH.

 JUST BECAUSE WE ARE SAVED THROUGH FAITH, DOES NOT MEAN WE ARE TO HAVE NO WORKS.  THE TWO ARE MARRIED. THEY CANNOT BE SEPARATED.

 JAMES 2:14
WHAT DOES IT PROFIT, MY BRETHREN, IF SOMEONE SAYS HE HAS FAITH BUT DOES NOT HAVE WORKS?  CAN FAITH SAVE HIM?

 BELOVED, WE CAN HAVE FAITH TO RECEIVE THE LORD, BUT WE MUST CONFESS THAT WE WANT JESUS IN OUR LIFE. THAT'S OUR PART, OR WORKS IF YOU WILL.

 ROMANS 10:8-10
BUT WHAT DOES IT SAY?  "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART"
( THAT IS THE WORD OF FAITH WHICH WE PREACH)  THAT IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH THE LORD JESUS AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD HAS RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, YOU WILL BE SAVED.  
(FAITH AND WORKS)

 FOR WITH THE HEART ONE BELIEVES UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO SALVATION.

 THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF FAITH AND WORKS WORKING TOGETHER.

 JESUS HAS DONE HIS PART, AND WE HAVE DONE OUR PART. CONFESSING AND RECEIVING ALL HE LORD HAS FOR US.

 BELOVED, OUR MOUTH IS WHAT SPEAKS LIFE OR DEATH, WE HAVE THAT POWER IN THE LORD.

 GOD SPOKE THE WORLDS INTO EXISTENCE. 
IF YOU HAVE SPOKEN AN  UNKIND WORD, IT CAN NEVER BE RETRIEVED. 
YOU CAN APOLOGIZE AND IT CAN BE FORGIVEN,  BY SAYING I AM SORRY, FORGIVE ME.

 WORDS AND WORKS ARE MARRIED AND GO TOGETHER.  

 THEY ARE DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER, BUT NEEDED BY EACH OTHER TO BRING IN FULFILLMENT.

 GOD SPOKE THE WORLDS INTO EXISTENCE, BUT JESUS HAD TO COME TO THIS EARTH AND DO THE WORKS THAT IT WOULD TAKE TO SAVE US AND REDEEM US BACK TO THE FATHER.

THAT IS GOOD EXAMPLE OF FAITH AND WORKS, WORKING TOGETHER IN GOD'S KINGDOM.

 OUR WORDS MEAN MORE THAN WE MAY BELIEVE THEY DO, THEY ARE POWERFUL.

 WE SANG A SONG WHEN I WAS A KID, "STICKS AND STONES MAY BREAK MY BONES, BUT WORDS CAN NEVER HURT ME,"  WRONG WRONG WRONG!

 WORDS CAN HURT US, AND ONLY GOD CAN HEAL THOSE WOUNDS THEY LEAVE. 

 IF THEY ARE KIND WORDS THEY ARE A BLESSING, IF THEY ARE WORDS INTENDED TO WOUND, THEY ARE A CURSE.

 PROVERBS 18:21
DEATH AND LIFE ARE IN THE POWER OF THE TONGUE.  AND THOSE WHO LOVE IT WILL EAT ITS FRUIT.

JAMES 3:9-10 (OUR TONGUE)
WITH IT WE BLESS OUR GOD AND FATHER, AND WITH IT WE CURSE MEN, WHO HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE SIMILITUDE OF GOD.
OUT OF THE SAME MOUTH PROCEED BLESSING AND CURSING,  MY BRETHREN, THESE THINGS OUGHT NOT TO BE SO.

 CHOOSE YOUR WORDS TO BLESS AND NOT WOUND.

 BELOVED, FAITH AND WORKS ARE OUR PART IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD. 

 JESUS TAUGHT US THIS.

 SO, WHATEVER YOU SPEAK, MAKE CERTAIN YOU WILL DO IT IN THE LOVE OF JESUS.


 GOD BLESS YOUR DAY
JESUS LOVES YOU

 LOVE IN JESUS
JOY

THE NEW CHRISTIANTY IS A MIXTURE OF OTHER RELIGIONS FROM OTHER GOVENMENTS.

  We all get excited to see new babes born into God's kingdom.  They are coming in by the millions all over the world. Praise God!! We pray that they will be taught the Bible, be discipled and shown the love of God. They cannot know the fullness of God without reading His word and getting to know Jesus. There is a new Christianity being formed. One without repentance, or accountability, to other believers, full of self, and not dying daily to self. It's full of entertainment, flashing colored lights, all about SELF, ( SERVING EMOTIONS AND LOVING FAVOR) just like the world. Matthew 18:3-4 And He said " Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. "Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Humility is lacking in so many, pride is event in their words and actions in some of the big ministries. I had a beloved brother in Christ...

WHEN INDIFFERENCE ENDS, THAT IS WHEN LOVE BEGINS.

  Don't look for love to come to you, instead, look  where you can give it. Galatians 5:13 For you brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. If you have been buried with Christ in baptism and raised in new life, then stop looking at the old you. Give the love that you always wanted to experience before you met Jesus. That unconditional love. If you noticed while reading the gospels that Jesus went out of His way to show the Fathers love, to provide what real love looks like. Sinners flocked to hear the good news of the gospel. They felt the love. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Beloved, we are to do the same for sinners we know, who have not received Jesus yet. We only receive real love from God when we realize that real love is missing from our life. Conditional love says, I will love you if you please me. G...

GOD'S LOVE LETTER TO HIS CHILDREN. PART 2

Read God's word and see how many times He chose to bless and not curse His people. God knows our every move and cares that we understand there is obedience to His word that will help us. God's word is a light unto our path.  Psalms 119:104-105 Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. God's word is rest for the weary, when we have not obeyed the word of God, we will become weary, anxious, and fearful, when we choose to do our own thing instead of what God tells us to do. Jesus loves us too much to leave us where He found us.  Praise God that he did find us searching for truth. Thy word is truth and Jesus is that word. So yes, there will be reminders for our spiritual growth that is needed. Will you squirm and try to fight the Holy Spirit? Yes, because the flesh always fights the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lust against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and th...
