1 Peter 2:21. Jesus as an example!

Jesus crown of thorns 2018

Good morning everyone!

As you are growing closer to GOD and HIS ways, there will always be people who do not have or want our dear beloved JESUS as savior. It is as though they are walking in a state of confusion and being lost in the darkness. 

There seems to be some sort of drama that they just step right into for not knowing what they are doing. So it is interesting to me when I hear a person say that they believe in GOD and attend church and are not really connecting with GOD in a faithful way. Meaning the lifestyle they choose to live is causing a spiritual warfare within their very soul. Going back and forth in all that they do from right to wrong. Some may have sex outside of marriage and feel it is okay. To lie on others, steal or do anything that is in spite. Gossip and say mean things to people using the excuse of saying they are trying to help. All of these things cause the doer no peace or joy.

This is not right to do to one another. We have to talk to each other with a peaceful compassionate JESUS heart as how we would want people to talk to us. There is no reason to speak rude to people who were not rude to you.

1 Peter 2:21

“For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:” 

King James Version (KJV)

Many people will assume it is okay to talk to people sharp or disrespectful because they are a supervisor in a company. This may give them a feeling of importance when they have never felt it. Leaving them to feel insecure and resentful of how things and life are for them.

At work taking out what ever it is that is on their mind on the people they are supervising. Then they are surprised when people get mad at them because of it. This is never good, be it at work you do this , at home or school. We do not treat others hatefully with lack of respect and compassion.

Provoking others to anger is sinful and yes Christians get angry was well. There are those who seek answers about GOD, JESUS watch us every single day. Those who watch maybe seeking answers about getting into heaven will see just how we people who call themselves Christians react to each other. They will use any chance to say…”see I told you they were like that! Why should I try to be good when they act like us?”

Those who seek answers do not have a relationship with GOD and HIS beloved son Jesus. And then there are those who will say and do anything to make a person who is good look bad even if they will be the ones who fall into the ditch they dug for you themselves. These are the one who are running away willfully from GOD.

Now for them not knowing anything about salvation and the return of JESUS for all who do love HIM, they could be left behind. For those of us who are saved, we will go with JESUS in the 2nd coming with HIM. Those with a wicked heart, maybe in the midst of trying to do something bad to us. They will be watching us planning to do evil and see us disappear right before them.

So whenever you can with discernment, we need to talk to people about the LORD GOD. Yes we can pray for them to change and see the light of the LORD GOD and HIS son JESUS….but plant the seed and let GOD do the rest. Even with those who are our enemies.

Matthew 7:21 – 7:23M

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

I have had a recent conversation with someone regarding how they speak to people. It is something that has to be done with some people as to rebuke or reprimand them on the treatment that they decide to give to others. When do this with a JESUS heart….and with no hate in your heart there should be no hard feelings. The person that you are concerned about should take into effect of what the consequences of not having a peaceful heart.

You can have a person think.

You can have a person listen.

We need unity with all people, with all Christians too. You can not make a person stop from loving the sin they are in. So pray for these people, they do not really know what they are doing. Let GOD take over from here.

1 Peter 1:14 – 1:16

14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

 

Have a blessed day. May you be blessed for the sharing and the reading of this blog post. Past the blessing forward!

 

Peace!

Do not push GOD away.

Gods way 11-18-2018

As we all read and hear the news about things that are happening in the world, we Christians are in continuous  prayer and want to remain connected to our GOD at all times like a child holding on to the hands of a good earthly parent. We depend on GOD.

We all will have our ups and downs. Being around those who do not have the same faith level as you , or those who have less or none….we hear those of little faith complaining about the natural desasters. They ask why do people have these situations that they have? We all may have strife sometimes due to the choices we all make. I may have a problem with slugs in my garden if I do not listen to the warning that I feel is GOD saying to me to watch out for these bugs by not taking precautions.

Many people choose to live in areas in the world that are beautiful and peaceful away from the crowded parts in a city. Some may choose to move to be close to the sea. Or they may have been born there and know of nowhere else to go or financially can not move.

But when you were warned about moving in area that has natural disasters, you expect it and take your chances. So it is not a surprise or should not be.

We are all warned about things in ways.  Like with cloudy skies and dark clouds mixed in with them. And then feeling a rain drop on you every other second until they are picking up speed to form a downpour. If you were heading home, and you saw the beginnings of the rain coming, you knew you could get wet if you did not get home in a safe hurry.

I can only tell you from what I know. GOD will warn us about things when we are listening. If you turn your back to GOD and walk away, you will not hear GOD talking to you. Pushing GOD out of your life because you want to live your life as how you want that may not be as how GODS plan is.  Then you should not complain but learn from your mistake when you see the end result.

Making life complicated

  • If you choose to cheat on your spouse, don.t be surprised if they leave you and now you are divorced. Even if they are a boyfriend or girlfriend…you cut yourself short by cheating on someone who is sincere to you.
  • If you drink too much alcohol and find your self an alcoholic. This goes for any kind of drug. Starting a lifestyle of living like this when you are young because of peer pressure, later on in life you will have health issues you don.t want and will have to take drugs for your health and not for fun. Such as for kidney and liver problems for starters.
  • If you eat too much of a good thing and gain weight. Then the struggle is on to lose it.

We humans make these choices our selves not thinking about the consequences at the time we do it. This is why GOD warns us. HE knows what will happen when we do not listen to HIM and choose to do things our way.

 

Psalm 18:30-36 King James Version (KJV)

30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

31 For who is God save the Lord? or who is a rock save our God?

32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

33 He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my high places.

34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.

36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.

King James Version (KJV)
But seeing that our GOD in heaven and in earth is all good, loving, wise and perfect in all
that HE does, this means to me that GOD can be depended on completely.

2 Corinthians 5:7

“For we walk by faith, not by sight”

 

Stay in prayer. Keep close to GOD. Accept JESUS as your savior so you will know what true love really is! Be blessed by reading and sharing the word of GOD and this blog. #passtheblessingforward!

The Tribe of JESUS!

The Tribe of Jesus 11-11-18

 

When I think about how abundant the love of JESUS is I think of a garden with fruit or veggies growing so abundantly like this old apple tree in the picture. I hope that now each time you see and apple, or apple tree , the word apple anywhere, or even an apple pie you will remember our JESUS. What JESUS had done for our salvation!

See, we who have accepted JESUS as our savior now will live an abundant life with Him when it is our time to leave this world. We belong to Him and His holy tribe. The tribe of JESUS!

It is a feeling that when you meet up with others who will instantly connect with you even though you have never met before. You will feel like you are in the same tribe and family. You feel you have a holy family bond with them that true faithful believers can only have with one another.

fellowship

As part of the tribe, you need to be around those who aim to please the LORD in all that they do in life. Putting GOD 1st is very important to all of us who need and want to love of GOD all around us with His beloved son JESUS too. All wih the same like of mind and heart.

The tribe will encourage you, give you the fuel of the Christian bond that you will need from them and what they will need from you as well. This is why reading the word will tell you to not socialize with those who are not equally yoked with you. They are not of our tribe.

Welcome the idea of how loving and wonderful FATHER GOD, the head of the tribe will be when we all meet up in heaven and have a seat at the best. holy, loving party ever for doing a job well done in life here on earth.

Have a blessed day, stay in prayer, take a deep breath and realize that our GOD is with us. JESUS is with us, and they both are waiting for all of us who love HIM and aim to do a job well done to get into heaven. Be grateful to be in the tribe of JESUS!

May you have a blessed day, thank you for reading this blog and sharing it as well! Pass the blessing forward!

 

Peace!

To bring others to JESUS….with a loving heart.

 

prayer hands 2018

Spreading the joy of the LORD.

I have always wondered what it really was when  person would say that they are an evangelist as a child. But I do know now, but then at the time growing up I had thought them to be such as a pastor of a church only. But as I understand it now it is someone who will go and tell others about the word of GOD at any given time. Anywhere, and everywhere.

Now when I say anywhere it is because you don’t know who it is that will need to hear the word of GOD. Anyone who the LORD will lead to you or you to them. We who love the LORD will always need to know scripture and be ready to explain why we all need the LORD and how we all are sinners! And even if we are at the level of not knowing all scripture, we can speak to others with a JESUS heart.

There are times when people when come over to start a conversation with me that really do not know me. Usually they are older people, who seem to be lonely. People my age are usually busy with kids and working so, they don’t really have the time to talk. They usually have a cell phone to their ear walking fast to their next destination.

Romans tell others about Jesus 2018

Many people will say they do believe in GOD and know Jesus. But you know what, it is the fruit that they bear that will lead you to wonder. No, none of us are perfect and without sin. What I am saying is if this is so, they would be doing all that they know how to do to get into heaven with the help of JESUS as mediator.

They would do their best to avoid sin in all ways possible knowing if they don’t make it into heaven they will burn. They will want to talk about JESUS at any given time and not turn from you when you do.

They would want to share this joy and smile and call you a brother or a sister in the LORD! You will feel the connection and bond of the Holy Spirit! And not ashamed to mention their love and faith too!

Test the spirit when talking to people about the LORD when you do not know them. Many will feel you are judging them and will turn away because of the sin that they are in. Many feel they have done such horrible sins that they can not be saved. But this is not up to them, and only GOD will be the judge to this. Turning away from JESUS will not help them at all. And we as disciples of JESUS need to spread the joy.

If you are looking to find JESUS because you were led to this post, then you have already made the right choice by seeking answers to what being saved is. JESUS is the answer to salvation and accepting JESUS as your savior. It gets better after this through prayer. Anything , any negative thought or anyone that will try to turn you away from JESUS at this point is not from GOD. It is from the devil that lied to you to sin in the first place and does not want you to seek righteousness and have a place in heaven.

Satan was an angel in heaven called Lucifer and have caused a war there because he and hs minions wanted to take over heaven. He lost that battle and was kicked out of heaven. So you should think about this….this is why he works so hard to keep as many as he can out of heaven. because he can not be there because of the choices he made.

Isaiah 14:12 New King James Version (NKJV)

The Fall of Lucifer

12 “How you are fallen from heaven,
[a]Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!

 

So with all of the evil in this world, those who love sin are following satan. Not GOD and HIS loving perfect , good ways. Please do make the choice to follow and walk the path of righteousness, there is nothing but pure unconditional love, peace and joy there with GOD’s way of life. You will have some strife in life simply because this is not heaven. But you will have the love of GOD and HIS son JESUS always with you. Stay in prayer, read your Bible and stay away with those people who are negative and lost in the ways of the world who run from GOD and JESUS.

Romans 1:16 King James Version (KJV)

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek

 

Tell people with GODLY discernment about the Gospel and the invitation to the best party they will ever attend in heaven!

May you all have a blessed day. Be blessed as you read this blog and the others and share this to inspire others who need to know about the joy of JESUS and salvation! Pass the joy forward!

 

Peace!
