When you take a wrong tun in life want to end up right…ask Jesus for directions…

Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

First part of being right…is wanting to be right…Jesus said we are blessed if want to be right more than we want to eat…

Matthew 9:12-13 But when he heard it, he said, they that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick. 13 But go ye and learn what this means, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice: for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.

Jesus of Nazareth died and was raised from the dead so you could never choose a wrong or evil thing again…and He died and was raised so all your wrong or evil deeds can be forgiven and cleansed…He is the Great Physician that freely gives the prescription…remedy…and cure for all your soul’s deepest needs…

Matthew 23:23-24 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye tithe mint and anise and cummin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law, justice, and mercy, and faith: but these ye ought to have done, and not to have left the other undone. 24 Ye blind guides, that strain out the gnat, and swallow the camel!

Jesus warned the religious leaders of his day…it is about how you treat people…that a sacrifice is showing mercy…instead of vengeance…justice…treating people just or like yourself…faith…God is a rewarder of those whom diligently seek Him…

Matthew 5:23-26 So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25 Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison. 26 Truly, I say to you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny.

You look everyone in the eye especially Jesus? Are you right with your fellow man and God? Jesus died so you could make all your wrongs right…and will forgive you and cleanse you from the bad associated with it…if you confess and forsake it…

Father please show us mercy and increase our hunger and thirst for being right with You…please give us the prescription…remedy…and cure…for all our needs and health…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Want to hear some good news…

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.

Jesus of Nazareth…commonly called Jesus Christ was a human that died in your place…taking your punishment for any evil or wrong deeds the bible calls sin. Jesus Christ died on the cross and was raised from the dead so you could never choose a wrong thing again…and so all your wrong things could be forgiven…For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten…or Fathered Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him…

Matthew 6:30-34 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34 Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me…

Jesus reveals the Truth…then makes a way for us to do right by God and fellow man…that is the best a man can do…what is morally right by his neighbors and the Creator…the Great I Am of All that IS…

Matthew 25:29-30 For unto every one that hath…faithfulness…shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that has not…as in no faithfulness…even that which he hath shall be taken away. 30 And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

If you do what is morally right when the truth is revealed to you then more Truth will be given you so you can grow and become a soul fit for eternal life with God…Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Father please reveal the truth of my sin to me so I can repent and reconcile with You…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Some people all faith no brains…others all brains no faith…

Jesus said these words as is written in the New Agreement between God and mankind called the New Testament of Christ…

…I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. …If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free…

Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light…

I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst…He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned…

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Therefore, all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there at: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it…

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen...

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

The best a soul can do is what is right when it learns the truth…We supposed to be like a balance of brains and faith…a knowing the truth from God…then doing His will or the most good…the right thing…by God and fellowman…the truth is like the past…it cannot be changed and stands for Himself…Jesus the Christ from the town Nazareth…the only qualified of God…to take away our evil deeds the bible calls sin…was punished for you and me as if He broke all Ten Commandments of God…even though He never broke a command of God and did a wrong or evil thing…the innocent Lamb of God slain for sinful men and women…so He could teach us the truth and we do the right thing by Him and our fellowman…Jesus supplying our needs to do His will…Jesus the Christ died so you could choose truth over fiction…love over hate…forgiveness over justice…mercy concerning others instead of an eye for eye…Jesus died so you could never choose the wrong thing…and says He will teach you the truth that will set you free from the lies and things that lead to evil deeds or sin…All you have to do is agree to obey the truth once the truth is revealed to you...

Father we renounce any form of creation and ask to receive only from Jesus your Son…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
