Are you deceived like Saul…

Are you deceived like Saul…

Acts 22:7-8 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecute you me? 8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecute…

Matthew 7:15-20 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. 16 By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them…


Ever hear a preacher say it is a blessing to follow Jesus…you will never hunger…you will never thirst…but give me some money? These are unfaithful preachers who interest lie in the doctrine of Balaam who is considered to be a prophet for hire not a servant to obey the Master…his error was corrected by the dumb ass…he wanted to receive from another’s table other than His God’s…for prophesying…his duty to His original Master…the God of gods…


2 Peter 2:1-3 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3 And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.


Have a thus it is written vocabulary…call Bible things by Bible names…renounce any loyalty to man’s creed…have no creed but the New Testament of Christ…no Master but Jesus of Nazareth…let God be true and everyman a liar…we must change our ways to fit the truth revealed by Jesus…


Matthew 7:21-23 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 who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity…


Many so called preachers are building churches and making money…instead of reaching lost souls…we supposed to keep God’s word above our own…let God be true and everyman a liar…in the parable of the talents or money…Jesus said the faithful fed Him…clothed Him…took Him in as a stranger…visited Him in prison and when sick…gave Him a drink…were rewarded as faithful…not preached great sermons or drawing a crowd…especially to profit by…or add debt too…building buildings..

John 6:35 Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.


Father, we renounce keeping of our word and any manmade agreement and ask we could accept only The New Testament of Christ and Jesus of Nazareth as our God, King, Lord, and Law…forever more in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Are you deceived like Saul…
Are you deceived like Saul…

Are you worth your salt…

Are you worth your salt…

Listen to some words from Jesus in the New Testament of Christ which is new agreement between God and creation…


Matthew 5:13-16 You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men. 14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house. 16 Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.


Matthew 25:31-46 But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory: 32 and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; 33 and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.


34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in; 36 naked, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you visited me; I was in prison, and you came unto me.


37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we you hungry, and fed you? or athirst, and gave you drink? 38 And when saw we you a stranger, and took you in? or naked, and clothed you? 39 And when saw we you sick, or in prison, and came unto you?


40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as you did it unto one of these my brethren, even these least, you did it unto me. 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry, and you did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink; 43 I was a stranger, and you took me not in; naked, and you clothed me not; sick, and in prison, and you visited me not.


44 Then shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we you hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto you? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as you did it not unto one of these least, you did it not unto me. 46 And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life.


Matthew 7:21-23 Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.


Father, help us be faithful and love You and our neighbor as ourself…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Are you worth your salt…
Are you worth your salt…

Seek you first…things first…

Seek you first…things first…

Jesus said these words found recorded in the New Testament of Christ…


You shalt love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment…


In all of the greatest things a man can Do is put Jesus first place in your life…all any soul can do is what is right by God first then fellow man…once the Truth has been revealed…

 

But seek you first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof….


God does not give us a command we cannot obey…God commandments are not grievous…Jesus gives a light and easy yoke…if Jesus says you cannot lie then He supplies the way not to lie…God always supplies what is needed to fulfill His command…

 

Judge not, that you be not judged.  For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured unto you.  And why behold you the mote that is in your brother's eye, but consider not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt you say to your brother, Let me cast out the mote out of thine eye; and lo, the beam is in thine own eye? You hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt you see clearly to cast out the mote out of your brother's eye…


We must first get ourselves right with God before we entertain others salvation…

 

If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother hath aught against you, leave there your gift before the altar, and go your way, first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift...


God says to be right with Him…you got to be right with your brethren…your fellowman…cab you shake any man’s hand and look them in the eye or you done someone dirty…need to make it right…Sometimes God will not hear us until we do the right thing…

 

You shalt love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second like unto it is this, You shalt love your neighbor as yourself.  On these two commandments the whole law hangs, and the prophets.

 

Father, please remove anything between us and You and may we always be faithful in the Truth…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
