BE CAREFUL IN WHAT YOU READ OR HEAR, AS IT WILL EFFECT YOUR MIND.

RECENTLY I PICKED UP A PUBLICATION FROM JULY 2000.   AS I READ IT, 

I REALIZED THAT THIS PASTOR THAT WAS ACCUSING BROTHERS IN THE LORD, WHO WERE WEAK AND SELFISH AT THE TIME, WANTING TO HAVE THE GLORY FOR THEMSELVES, GOD HIMSELF DEALT WITH THOSE MEN LATER ON.

THIS PASTOR'S LETTER WANTED TO EXPOSE THEM, NOT LEAVING ROOM FOR REPENTANCE OR SPIRITUAL GROWTH. 

HE NEVER ASKED  PRAYER FOR THEM, THAT THEY WOULD REPENT AND GROW IN RIGHTEOUSNESS. 

THAT WAS TWENTY YEARS AGO. I REALIZED HOW DIVIDED THE BODY OF CHRIST WAS BACK THEN.


BELOVED STAND BY GODS WORD ONLY, NEVER ALLOW MAN'S IDEAS THAT ARE ALL NEGATIVE ABOUT THE BODY OF CHRIST, EFFECT YOU.

SOME OF IT COMES FROM A SPIRIT OF PRIDE, BELIEVING THEY ARE BETTER THAN THE OTHER GUY.  

SOME COMES FROM JEALOUSY, BECAUSE THE OTHER GUY HAS A HUGE MINISTRY.

REMEMBER WHEN PAUL ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE.

1 CORINTHIANS 3:1-3

AND I, BRETHREN, COULD NOT SPEAK TO YOU AS SPIRITUAL PEOPLE BUT AS CARNAL, AS BABES IN CHRIST.  

I FED YOU MILK AND NOT SOLID FOOD; FOR UNTIL NOW YOU WERE NOT ABLE TO RECEIVE IT, AND EVEN NOW YOU ARE STILL NOT ABLE.

FOR YOU ARE STILL CARNAL. FOR WHERE THERE ARE ENVY, STRIFE, AND DIVISIONS AMONG YOU, ARE YOU NOT CARNAL BEHAVING AS MERE MEN?


BELOVED, WHEN WE HAVE TO TEAR DOWN EACH OTHER IN ORDER TO BUILD OURSELVES UP, WE ARE NOT HEARING FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT.

HE DOES'T LIKE THAT AND IT COMES FROM THE PROMPTING OF THE DEVIL.

HE IS THE ONE THAT WANTS TO DIVIDE AND SEPARATE.


WHAT HAPPENED TO "LOVE COVERS A MULTITUDE OF SIN?

TAKE TIME AND REALIZE WHAT YOU ARE PUTTING IN YOUR SPIRIT. IS IT EDIFYING?

3 ND JOHN 11

BELOVED, DO NOT IMITATE WHAT IS EVIL, BUT WHAT IS GOOD.  HE WHO DOES GOOD IS OF GOD, BUT HE WHO DOES EVIL HAS NOT SEEN GOD.


WE ALL START OUT SELFISH AND SELF-CENTERED.  WE GET A LITTLE BIT OF TRUTH AND RUN WITH IT, 

EVEN IF WE KNOW IT IS NOT BALANCED IN GOD'S LOVE. THIS COMES FROM A CRITICAL SPIRIT.

BABES IN THE LORD, WHO NEED TO GROW. NO ONE STARTS OUT FULLY MATURED.


BELOVED, IF IT DOES NOT COME FROM LOVE, IT IS NOT OF GOD. FOR HE IS LOVE.


CLEAN OUT THE FILES OF THE OLD IN YOUR MIND, LOOK FOR THE NEW. 

I SEE WHY I KEPT THAT PUBLICATION NOW, THE LORD WANTED ME TO SEE THAT THE BODY OF CHRIST IS DIVIDED.

THE WORD OF GOD SAYS A HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF, WILL NOT STAND.


THE WORLD NEEDS JESUS AND THEY NEED TO SEE JESUS IN US, SO THEY WILL DESIRE WHAT WE HAVE, PEACE, LOVE, PATIENCE. ETC.

IMMEDIATELY, PHILIPPIANS POPPED IN TO MY MIND.

PHILIPPIANS 4: 8

FINALLY, BRETHREN, WHATEVER THINGS ARE TRUE, WHATEVER THINGS ARE NOBLE, WHATEVER THINGS ARE JUST, WHATEVER THINGS ARE PURE, WHATEVER THINGS ARE LOVELY, WHATEVER THINGS ARE OF A GOOD REPORT, IF THERE IS ANY VIRTUE AND IF THERE IS ANYTHING PRAISEWORTHY, MEDITATE  ( THINK ) ON THESE THINGS.


THINK ABOUT WHAT YOUR EARS ARE HEARING ABOUT YOUR BROTHER'S AND SISTERS IN THE LORD.  

IF IT IS GOOD, PRAISE GOD AND GIVE HIM ALL THE GLORY.

IF IT IS BAD AND BOTHERS YOUR SPIRIT, CAST IT OFF.

THE GROWTH OF OTHERS IN THE FAITH, IS NOT UP TO YOU, IT IS UP TO THE HOLY SPIRIT.

THE BODY OF CHRIST HAS BEEN DIVIDED FOR TOO LONG, IT'S TIME TO PUT OUR DIFFERENCES ASIDE, AND LOVE AND HELP EACH OTHER AND STAY WITH THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD.

JESUS' PRAYER

JOHN 17:21

THAT THEY MAY BE ONE, AS YOU FATHER ARE IN ME, AND I IN YOU; THAT THEY ALSO MAY BE ONE IN US, THAT THE WORLD MAY BELIEVE THAT YOU SENT ME.

LET ME ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ JESUS' PRAYER ALL OF IT IN JOHN 17.

IT IS TIME THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST WAKES UP. GET OUT OF RELIGION ( WORKING YOUR WAY TO GOD) AND START HAVING A RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR LORD. GOD LOVES YOU AND HAS GOOD THINGS FOR YOU.


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...

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, ...

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...
