Are you defined by your doctrine, or by the way you live?

There are so many new bibles out there, but be sure they have the true gospel of Jesus Christ, not a watered down version.

A  lot of Christians are being deceived by some of the newer teachers, who add to God's word.

Galatians 1:6-7

I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to another gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.


We are seeing this today also, some are returning to the feasts and rules and regulations in religion.

We can celebrate the feasts as long as we understand that they are all about Jesus.

Beloved, Jesus fulfilled the feasts. He is our Passover Lamb. He fulfilled the first fruits feast.  He rose from the dead.


Mankind has always tried to add to God's work, but He called us by His grace, He did the work of sending Jesus to this earth.

Jesus is a perfect reflection of our Father God.

We are to build our faith on God's word and not our experiences.  

Our emotions are fickle and can lead us astray. We are to have the mind of Christ.

God's word is settled in heaven, we can trust it to be true and helpful for our lives.

Psalm 138:2

I will worship toward your holy temple, And praise Your name,  For Your lovingkindness and Your truth.

For You have magnified Your word above Your name.

Psalm 119:89

Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven.

The way we live should reflect the gospel in all we do. We should be extending grace and mercy where Jesus did.  

Look around your environment, do you see someone who needs your love and mercy?

Then, extend to them God's grace. Undeserved favor.

We can all say things, but do our actions line up with our words?

People are watching us to see if our actions measure up to what we profess. 

Do we live in such a away that people see that we are different? not better than they, but different!

Our good intentions need to be converted to our actions of obedience to God's word.

People need to see that we stand on what we say as truth from God's word. 

We can live the gospel in front of the world, being different and showing love where there is none, will speak volumes to the unsaved.


Beloved, be that great light that the world is longing to see. 

Revival is going on all over the world right now, and souls are coming to Jesus.

Are you part of spreading that light in their darkness? 

The Holy Spirit is on the move and things are happening in the body of Christ and in the world.

Psalm 37:12-15

The wicked plots against the just, And gnashes at him with his teeth.  The Lord laughs at him, For he sees that his day is coming.  

The wicked have drawn the sword and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to slay those who are of upright conduct.

Their sword shall enter their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.


These words place real hope in our hearts, because our God is watching all that man is planning.  

God is laughing at them because He will have the last laugh.

Beloved, be defined by how you live, not just by what people believe is your doctrine.

Learn what the true gospel is, and follow Jesus in all He has given you. He sent the Holy Spirit.

Jesus is coming soon, in an hour you think not!!

Will He find you doing what He called you to do?

Mark 16:15

And He said, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.


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...
