OUR FAITH AND WORKS WORK TOGETHER IN PERFECT HARMONY.

OUR FAITH AND WORKS, WORK TOGETHER.  YOU CANNOT HAVE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER.

 FIRST OF ALL IT IS THE FAITH THAT MOVES US TO DO OUR WORKS.  GOD PLACED THAT DESIRE IN OUR NEW SPIRIT.

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

 OUR WORKS ARE TO RECEIVE WHAT JESUS HAS DONE FOR US. 
IN FAITH CONFESSING TO OTHERS HOW GOOD OUR LORD IS. (THAT'S OUR PART)

 ROMANS 10:9-10 (FAITH AND WORKS TOGETHER)
THAT IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH THE LORD JESUS AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, YOU WILL BE SAVED.
FOR WITH THE HEART ONE BELIEVES UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO SALVATION.

 WHEN OUR FAITH AND WORKS, WORK TOGETHER THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC TOGETHER AND PEOPLE WILL WANT WHAT WE HAVE IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD.

 REMEMBER BLIND BARTIMAEUS?
MARK 10:46-52
NOW THEY CAME TO JERICHO. AS HE WENT OUT OF JERICHO WITH HIS DISCIPLES AND A GREAT MULTITUDE, BLIND BARTIMAEUS, THE SON OF TIMAEUS, SAT BY THE ROAD BEGGING.
AND WHEN HE HEARD THAT IT WAS JESUS OF NAZARETH, HE BEGAN TO CRY OUT AND SAY, "JESUS, SON OF DAVID, HAVE MERCY ON ME!"
THEN THEY WARNED HIM TO BE QUIET; BUT CRIED OUT ALL THE MORE.  "SON OF DAVID HAVE MERCY ON ME!"
SO JESUS STOOD STILL AND COMMANDED HIM TO BE CALLED.  
THEN THEY CALLED THE BLIND MAN, SAYING TO HIM, BE OF GOOD CHEER, RISE. HE IS CALLING YOU."
AND THROWING ASIDE HIS GARMENT (BLIND GARMENT) HE ROSE AND CAME TO JESUS. (THATS FAITH WORKING)
SO JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID TO HIM, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO FOR YOU?"

 THE BLIND MAN SAID TO HIM, RABBONI, THAT I MAY RECEIVE MY SIGHT."
THEN JESUS SAID TO HIM, "GO YOUR WAY YOUR FAITH HAS MADE YOU WELL."

 BELOVED, BARTIMAEUS HAD ENOUGH FAITH IN JESUS, THAT HE TOOK OFF HIS GARMENT THAT IDENTIFIED HIM AS BLIND. (FAITH AND WORKS)

 DO WE HAVE THAT KIND OF TRUST IN GOD?  WHEN WE COME TO HIM AND ASK FOR A MIRACLE?

 PONDER THAT THOUGHT FOR A MOMENT.
CHEW ON IT.

 FAITH IS TO TRUST GOD.  SIMPLE AND COMPLETE.
WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE FAITH IN OUR FAITH (SELF) ONLY HAVE FAITH IN OUR GOD.

 OUR HUMAN FAITH CAN FAIL US, BUT TRUSTING GOD WILL NEVER FAIL US.  
THAT IS REAL FAITH THAT GOD HAS PLACED IN US.

 BELOVED, WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY AS CHRIST FOLLOWERS TO SEE THE PATTERN THAT JESUS LEFT FOR US AND WE ARE TO DO AS HE DID.

YES, FAITH AND WORKS GO TOGETHER.
EASY BELIEVING IS NOT FAITH IN GOD, BUT IN YOURSELF.
WE HAVE FAITH OUR CAR WILL START, BUT WHEN IT DOESN'T WE GET UPSET. 
HUMAN FAITH IS NOT WHERE IT IS AT.

 WE ARE TOLD TO HAVE FAITH IN OURSELVES.  NO!
HAVE FAITH IN GOD!!

 OUR FAITH IS REVEALED BY OUR WORKS. OUR FAITH IN OUR LORD BLESSES OUR WORKS AND THEY BECOME FRUITFUL.

 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, ...
