Loving and living with a pure heart.

 What does it mean to purify our soul?

1Peter 1:22

Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart.

We are told in God's word that if we are of a pure heart we will see God.

Matthew 5:8

Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.


Do you want to see God at work in your life?  Then keep a pure heart.

A pure heart is not contaminated with negative, unforgiving, critical thoughts.

How do we do that? By obeying God's word and keeping our faith strong. By remembering the sacrifice Jesus paid for you.

Faith comes by hearing the word of God.

Faith grows as we come through our testing's and trials.

Faith is important, it needs to grow.

We all have a measure of faith, how big or small that measure is it does not tell us, but we do know it must grow and become strong to come through our trials.

Faith is just trusting God and His word, so that we can have pure hearts.


Before you can obey God's word, you need to apply yourself to know what His word has to say.


2 Timothy 2:22

Flee also youthful lusts, but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

Beloved, we can call to our God out of a pure heart.

Do you want to be friends with those in high places? And make an impact in a life to make a difference for the kingdom of God? To reach a lost soul?

Proverbs 22:11

He who loves purity of heart And has grace on his lips, The king will be his friend.


Having grace on your lips, is to have kind words, and uplifting words, encouraging words to touch a heart.


Beloved, if we will obey God's word and follow after Jesus, God will put important people in our life. 

People that we can effect for the kingdom of God.  People whose heart is ready to receive the truth, that Jesus Christ is Savior and Lord and that He loves them. 

That He paid for all their sin, past, present and future. That Jesus has a plan for their life.


So we have seen that faith, truth, and love out of a pure heart will lead us to those Jesus wants to reach.

They were to call Jesus, Emmanuel, that means God with us. He is for us and lives in us.  

Think about what that means for us to have the God of heaven living inside of us through the Holy Spirit.

It is so important to keep a pure heart. Free from contamination, nothing to pollute your thoughts.

Apply the blood of Jesus to your mind as you pray, He shed that blood and took the crown of thorns so that you can have a pure mind.


Pursue righteousness, and pursue living a holy life. (Holy means to be separate from the ways of the world) Keep a pure heart.

Do you want to see God in your life and in others that you know? Keep a pure heart.

Matthew 5:8

Blessed are those who have a pure heart for they shall see God!

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, ...
