Jesus of Nazareth said that anyone that hungers and thirsts after righteousness will be filled. This is a promise of Jesus! Jesus always fulfills His words; Jesus is not slack to perform and kept His promises to all those that hunger and thirst after doing or being right with their Creator. You need to know how to feed yourself the right way, earn a living the right way, or how to be forgiven: Jesus will fill your way. When is the last time you wanted to be right with God? Do you want to go to Heaven? You will never get to live in Heaven unless you decide to go. Heaven is a prepared place for prepared people. I hope we all know what is between us and our Creator so we can be reconciled through the work of Jesus. Rev 18:4-5 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come forth, my people, out of her, that ye have no fellowship with her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues: (5) for her sins have reached even unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. These are the instructions to those that were in Babylon, God says to come out of her and have no fellowship with her sins. Or You will receive her plagues. Jesus says to hunger and thirst after righteousness, we have to let go of anything from our past, we have to submit and surrender all we have and have done to Jesus of Nazareth in a changing of mind, heart, and direction. Jesus is merciful, and will instruct and correct those with upright heart who want to be righteous in His eyes. So let go and let God instruct you so you can be right with Him. 2Co 6:14-18 Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness? (15) And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever? (16) And what agreement hath a temple of God with idols? for we are a temple of the living God; even as God said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. (17) Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you, (18) And will be to you a Father, and ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. You cannot sit at the table of devils and the table of Jesus. You cannot be a partaker of Babylon and not receive the plagues caused by her sin. Jesus is light and these devils are darkness, they reject the will of God and thus create evil. After all, is that not what evil is, rejection of God? Darkness is the absence of light, and evil is the absence of God. Jesus said He would fill our ways if we hunger and thirst after righteousness, so let us seek Jesus and hunger and thirst after being right with God. Mat 6:9-15 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. (10) Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth. (11) Give us this day our daily bread. (12) And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. (13) And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. (14) For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. (15) But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

We are just little children in diapers before God… Jesus of Nazareth said: Mat 18:3-4 and said, Verily I say unto you, except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. (4) Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Let us examine a baby needs verses our soul’s deepest need: A Baby cannot clean himself but is in dirty diapers until someone cleans him. Rom 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Act 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that so there may come seasons of refreshing from the presence of the Lord. A Baby does not know good and evil, has no knowledge of good or evil but has to be instructed on how to behave correctly, morally. Adam and Eve ate directly from the tree of good and evil, and instantly knew all good and all evil. (Gen 3:5-6) When they had kids, the kids did not eat and therefore had no knowledge of good or evil, but their knowledge of good and evil came from the instructions of Adam and Eve. Same is true today, kids are born innocent not knowing good or evil. It is our job to teach then how to become like God and be moral. A Baby has to be instructed, nurtured, and taught how to grow into adulthood. 2Ti 2:15 Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth. 2Ti 3:16-17 Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness: (17) that the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work. 1Pe 2:1-3 Putting away therefore all wickedness, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speaking, (2) as newborn babes, long for the spiritual milk, which is without guile, that ye may grow thereby unto salvation; (3) if ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious: A Baby cannot protect himself from the dangers in the world. Just like a baby without its parents, so are we if we wander from the will of God. We have to turn away from wrongdoing and choose to do what Jesus does. 2Co 6:17-18 Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you, (18) And will be to you a Father, and ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. Jesus of Nazareth died on a cross on and was raised three days later, on the first day of the week. Jesus of Nazareth died so you, could come to God like a child in diapers. We are really just children in dirty diapers crying to God to clean and take care of me; Are we not? Joh 8:31-32 Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, if ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples; (32) and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. We like little children in diapers cry out clean me and teach me how to stay clean like you daddy Jesus… Jesus died so you would not have to choose wrongdoing or evil. Jesus of Nazareth died so you could walk in truth and Spirit not to be deceive or be deceived by Satan and his minister of lies. Do you want to be free from the minister of lies? Yes, or no? Jesus says, Mat 5:6 Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Do you want to do the wrong thing? Yes, or no? Jesus said if we hunger and thirst after what is right with God, He will fill you up. Do you want to know how to live right with God? Yes, or no? Mat 6:33-34 But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (34) Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Joh 6:35 Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. Jesus says if seek Heaven and its righteousness then you will have enough. Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Do you want to be born of the water and the Spirit so you can enter into the Kingdom of God? Yes, or no? Mar 16:15-16 And he said unto them, go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. (16) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieves shall be condemned. Do you believe Jesus died so you would never have to do wrong or evil? Yes, or no? Will you be baptized so you will be saved? Yes, or no? Father we are calling on Jesus of Nazareth, we are but children in dirty diapers and need the Great Physician, daddy Jesus to clean us, guide us, guard us, and protect us from sin, so we can be like You and Your Sinless Son, please give us the cure and remedy for all our dirty diapers, in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Jesus of Nazareth was scourged for your sins and mine. God’s righteousness must punish sin. That punishment is death. If you are in your sins, then you will suffer wrath of GOD. The good news is Jesus paid your debt, to set you free! As a process of a love offering, a propitiation of sin, Jesus was scourged. Below is a diagram of how the Roman Soldiers would scourge a criminal. There was a man, named a Lictor. His job was to oversee soldiers administering the punishment and keep the criminal alive…The romans called a scourging the half-dead punishment, because it left the victim barely alive. Jesus endured such a cruel and harsh form of punishment, without sinning against God, for your sins and my sins… Jesus of Nazareth was crucified on a cross called a tree… Jesus after losing much blood during the scourging, was nailed to the cross through His hands and feet. Left to die in the Sun. Our sins suffocated Him, in the picture, Jesus would have to stand up un His feet and breath. Then He would slowly suffocate, until He stood up again for a good breath of air, this process repeated until Jesus gave up the Ghost. Jesus suffered cruelty for never sinning, in order so, you and I could never choose to do a wrong or evil thing again! Jesus of Nazareth died on the cross and was raised three days later to the Glory of the Father, He overcame death, hell, Satan, and sin when He was raised from the dead. Jesus of Nazareth died so you will never have to choose a wrong thing and will teach you how to do the right thing. Jesus of Nazareth said, whoever hungers and thirst after righteousness will be filled, Mat 5:6. Meaning, when you want to do right, Jesus will fill your desire to do the right things by Him and His Father in Heaven. Do you want to do the right thing and not the wrong thing? Yes or No? Jesus said, except you become converted as a child you cannot enter into the kingdom of Heaven. A child in diapers cannot clean or feed himself, and neither can we clean ourselves from the wrong deeds we have done. Jesus died to clean us, and free us from ever doing evil or wrong things again. Is that not good news? When we come to Jesus, we never have to do a wrong thing again? When we come to Jesus, we must be like a child, asking daddy, can I? Daddy, may I? Daddy looks at what happened to me? Daddy, I need to be cleaned… etc. Jesus said, if you follow Him, you will not hunger or thirst, listen: Joh 6:35 Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. Jesus said, Mat 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (29) 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. (30) For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Do you want rest for your soul and a light and easy yoke? Yes or No? Do you want to go to heaven? Yes or No? Joh 8:31-32 Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, if ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples; (32) and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Will you read the New Agreement between God and mankind called the New Testament of Christ? Yes or No? Will you take the yoke of Jesus upon you and allow Him to lead you into truth that will set you free from evil? Yes or No? Jesus said, except a man is born of the water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. John 3:5. Will you be born of the water and the Spirit by being baptized into Christ? Yes or No? Jesus said, Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieve shall be condemned. If you do not believe Jesus died for you, to make a way for you to never choose wrong or evil, then you have no hope of heaven, however, if you do believe and are baptized you will be saved. Do you want to be saved by being baptized into Christ today? Yes or No? Please confirm any truth with Jesus of Nazareth and direct any questions and comments below:

I was talking to a guy, he said people in his Christian group began to shun or disfellowship him because he let some cuss words slip. When he went to the one disfellowshipping him, the Christian quoted a bunch of verse and condemn him for using cuss words. This provoked me to think, the guy must have been self-righteous. Meaning he think he so right he cannot hear cuss words, but only shout scripture and condemn. Have you ever noticed Jesus at times gave those He ministered to, something to do a command to obey when correcting sin? “Go. And Sin no more”. This is what Jesus said to the woman caught in adultery, who by law would have been killed that day. In other words, after showing mercy and basically saving her life, He tells her a command Go, and adds to the command Sin no more. All she had to do, was keep herself clean. How many of good brethren have run off people we have begged to come to church, just to be belittled, rejected, and told they do not belong. The self-righteous offers correction without instruction. I believe correction without instruction is cruelty. They tell them, “You wrong” by quoting scripture and walking off. I imagine being in those shoes again, thanks for calling me a sinner, but could you tell me how to fix myself? If not, then I will leave buddy. You essentially accomplished not a thing but making you feel more righteous than me. Did you offer me a plan of redemption, reconciliation, or salvation? Or did you just push your way out of my problems by being too righteous to help me solve them? What? You condemn a believer and then don’t tell him how to be a better man? Then you part of the problem and not the solution, do you realize Jesus judgement on the judgmental? you self-righteous need nothing from me or God. Maybe you will wake up one day and see being here and participating is a confession I need Jesus’ help, why would I waste my time or yours? Even Jesus said, he did not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance. You self-righteous people, are so good and blameless at keeping laws, you think you do not sin, or do you not realize, you’re not righteous at all; even if you are blameless, because at some point you broke the law and have been as guilty as me. Instead of teaching the way of redemption you quote scripture and condemn then move on to the next victim. Brood of vipers, Jesus called them in His day. Doing more damage in the name of Jesus to their brethren by being busybodies so they can keep one’s reputation of Christian. To always be the “you wrong for that” but have no part in the solution. Is it not written, you self-righteous hypocrites, there is none righteous no not one? Is not written, to him that says he has no sin, the truth is not in him. Is it not written, if we confess our sin Jesus is just and will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from the unrighteousness? What if satan, came to church…would he find a beating or forgiveness from the good brethren?

Jesus of Nazareth said this sermon, Mat 25:14-46 For it is as when a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. (15) And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several abilities; and he went on his journey. (16) Straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents. (17) In like manner he also that received the two gained other two. (18) But he that received the one went away and dug in the earth, and hid his lord's money. (19) Now after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and makes a reckoning with them. (20) And he that received the five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou delivered unto me five talents: lo, I have gained other five talents. (21) His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord. (22) And he also that received the two talents came and said, Lord, thou delivered unto me two talents: lo, I have gained other two talents. (23) His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord. (24) And he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew you that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou did not sow, and gathering where thou did not scatter; (25) and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, you have your own. (26) But his lord answered and said unto him, thou wicked and slothful servant, you knew that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I did not scatter; (27) you ought therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine own with interest. (28) Take you away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents. (29) For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that has not, even that which he hats 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. (31) 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 ye 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 thee hungry, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink? (38) And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? (39) And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? (40) And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye 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, ye 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 thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister (serve) 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. This was one discourse, a sermon, given by the Author of Salvation (Heb 5:8-9) Himself. What is the sermon about? How we are given our talents, how we are rewarded if faithful with our talents, what those talents are and who used them faithfully? How we are given our talents… A man going on a journey gives His servants His goods He gives according to his discernment of their abilities… One man 5 talents (talents is a weight a measurement, weighing about 3000 shekels, or about 114 lbs., does not say, but gold would have been the highest standard) 5 x 114 = 570lbs of gold One man 2 talents (114lbs x 2 = 228 lbs. of gold) One man 1 talent, 114 lbs. of gold. If a very rich man gives his servants a large sum of money, when he goes on a journey, what would he expect? Them to take care of his money and serve him. Some went to work making more money or being faithful to their giver. One, does nothing with His Lord’s money, the others go to work and are successful in business. The owner comes and checks on his business (his servants). Two have been prosperous, industrious and have a gain. He rewards their faithfulness with more abundance. Then the owner comes to the one that hid his Lord’s money and gave it back just as it was given him. The Lord was mad, he cast him away into outer darkness because he did nothing for gain. He was lazy, slothful, and accomplished nothing, as in useless. The Master, or owner, then strips the talent from the man that did nothing and gave it to the one who was most faithful. Jesus teaches us here: whomever has faithfulness, more abundance will be given. Whoever does not have faithfulness, even the gift God gave him will be taken away if he does not use it correctly. In this case, putting money in a bank, to gain interest was the minimum requirement of faithfulness, but this man could not even do a simple task; with a large sum of money. So, then it is as it is written, God is a Rewarder of those that diligently seek Him, Heb 11:6. And also God corrects his children, Heb 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives. He then gives the ultimate visitation: the Judgement Scene. Then uses as an illustration of what God expects faithfulness to look like with our (money or talents of gold in this teaching)… Those rewarded for faithfulness, with more in Heaven: fed Him, Clothed Him, Gave Him drink, Visited Him in prison and when He sick… these were the ones that God considered faithful with large sums of money. Use the gold of this world to buy you gold in Heaven. Those who did not use their money by treating their neighbors as themselves, by serving those in need, were rejected and cast out. Those that had given of their money through faithful obedience were rewarded with eternal treasure in Heaven. You cannot out give God: it is written, Pro 19:17 He that hath pity upon the poor lends unto Jehovah, and his good deed will he pay him again., John the Baptist message of fruits of repentance, was whoever has two coats give to one that has none. How many of us still need to learn and practice treating our neighbors as ourself. What if you were without a coat, would you want to be warm? What if you were without food, would you want to be fed? What if you were dehydrated? Would you want a drink of water? What if you were sick? Would you want someone to pray for and visit you? What if you were in prison? Would you want someone to visit you and, in those days, if someone did not bring you food in prison you starved. It is good news that whoever follows Jesus will not hunger and will not thirst, listen to Jesus words: John 6:35 Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.It is so good news to know, if we continue in truth and spirit, then we will be faithful. When we are faithful, we seek God and are rewarded by remaining true to His word. How many of us can spare a shirt? However, it is much more important it is to share the good news of Jesus. Jesus died so they will never have to choose to do a wrong or immoral thing, and if you will just walk in spirit and truth remaining faithful to Him, He will provide food, water, enough for your soul’s deepest needs. He is the Great Physician, that will write you the prescription, remedy, and administer the cure for all that ails or have been afflicted with, if you come to Him. None of Christ’s faithful few, are begging bread, if we could share Christ then we could have them feed on Jesus, the Living Bread who gives the Living Water, eternally. Our Father will adopt anyone who will love and practice the truth of His Son who died on the cross and was raised the third day. It is written, 2Co 6:17-18 Wherefore Come you out from among them, and be you separate, saith the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you, (18) And will be to you a Father, and you shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. Jesus of Nazareth said, Mat 11:28-30 Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (29) Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls. (30) For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Do you want rest for your soul? Yes of No? Do you want a light and easy burden of walking with Jesus and learning His truth? Yes or No? Will you agree to follow Jesus and learn about him, so you can find rest for your soul and a light and easy yoke? Yes or No? Jesus of Nazareth said, He that believes and is baptized will be saved, but he that does not believe will be damned. Mark 16:16 If you do not believe Jesus died to free you, from having to choose a wrong thing, Jesus says, then there is no hope for you or you will be damned, but Jesus also says, whoever hungers and thirsts after righteousness will be filled Mat 5:6. Do you want to be saved by Jesus by being baptized into Christ? Yes or No? Do you want to go to Heaven? Yes or No? If you have been baptized before, do you still believe in your baptism into Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection of Eternal life? Yes or No? Please confirm any truth with Jesus of Nazareth, and direct any questions or comments to my blog.

There are kids today who are pretending they are a cat or animal, and these teachers that cater to their delusion, are in all reality bearing false witness by allowing their student to think they are a animal rather than a human. Instead of not offending them, we need to label them mental and have them evaluated by a psychiatrist. Instead of allowing these people to continue polluting the minds of our children, with idea they can be an animal if they want to: is selling a false reality to a child who depends on teachers and leaders to be their source of truth. We must not participate in the delusion and imaginations of children entertaining bad ideas taught by people of reprobate minds. The same is true of those who pay a mad scientist to corrupt their bodies. These doctors are mental for entertaining making men into women and women into men. I remember when Frankenstein was a horror movie, People are doing unthinkable unimaginable acts of surgery and manipulation of humans to perform an act of mad science. These doctors should not entertain the imaginations of humans they can be a male or female with surgery and artificial hormones. All these folks are doing is corrupting the image of God they were created to become. Are these doctors so corrupt that they would defile another human body with unnatural acts of surgery? They are mental as well, as the ones who ask a doctor to change their sex. End result is an expensive costume, a man pretending to be a woman, paid for by a person that has yet to understand all of God's creatures have a plan and purpose in Christ. Instead of asking God who they are to become to fulfill their plan and purpose, they follow after their imagination and corrupt nature itself. Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people. You will not live in heaven unless you decide to go there. Jesus of Nazareth, said I am the way the truth and the life no man comes to the Father except by me, John 14:6. I am afraid God has already given up on America, because of the behavior of these people are living proof of this scripture: Romans 1:20-27, For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. Therefore, God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. Does the above passage sound like God is giving up on America? Yes or No? Does the above passage of people corrupt themselves from the image of God into four foot beast and similar things? Yes or No? Does God say, He has given up on people that want to corrupt the image of God (Human) into four-foot beasts, and is this happening? Yes or No? Father, we pray that you may grant America repentance and salvation that this may be a place where we can openly and freely serve You our Creator and find and fulfil our plan and purpose, we were created for, please give us some sense that we may recognize You as God, please meet our souls' deepest needs, in Jesus of Nazareth's name amen.

The Instruction to the Christians in Ephesus: Eph 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints that are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus: Eph 5:17-21 Wherefore be ye not foolish but understand what the will of the Lord is. (18) And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit; (19) speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; (20) giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father; (21) subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ. The Letter to the Ephesians was written to Christians, or Saints as the text says, and many as you say were Gentiles. This Command to speak and sing with a melody in your heart with the Spirit is to all Christians. For it was written to instruct ignorant Christians of proper public worship. Our Speaking and Singing is the command to apply, you cannot infer instruments into the text for the command is to sing being filled with Spirit. No Instrument that is dead can be filled with the Spirit nor can an instrument Speak, and Sing. Also remember, Christians were instructed to Speak, Teach, and Encourage as the Letter to Colossian Saints Says as it is written: The Instruction to the Christians in Colosse: Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts unto God. No Instrument can fulfill the commands to speak, sing, teach, and encourage, these are things human hearts and mouths do, not instruments. Therefore, the conclusion is made Instruments are not needed in public worship nor can they fulfill the commands to speak, teach, admonish, and sing. They only make sounds not words. The command is to the individual Christian, not to just men or not to just those who sing well. The command is for each individual to sing and be the choir or praise team. Let us each individual Christian sing in truth and spirit. Amen. “Wesley said, I have no problem with a piano in the church as long as it is neither seen nor heard.” To paraphrase Spurgeon: I would not pray to God with machinery, nor will I sing to Him with machinery. In Private worship, a man can worship anyway he wants, it is up to God to accept any form of worship, Jesus said, “the Father Seeks those that will worship Him in Spirit and Truth. When people write songs; instruments help with the melody and harmony and notes. However, this is in the area of private worship and not public worship. The instructions above were for when the letter was read to the public assembly and both letters addressed to the Saints (Christians), so both of these instructions must be applied today, if one wants to practice the whole truth written on the matter to Christians (Saints). Father, we pray we always praise You and worship You and Your Son in Truth and Spirit in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

When I look at the moral climate here in America, When I look at God's word and read that righteousness exalts a nation, I cannot be help to think we will be like the romans when they fell. If we do not learn from history, then history will repeat itself. There are two places I can think of where the moral climate was similar to America, found in the Bible. One is John the Baptist message to the Jews in the Roman captivity. Israel was already so immoral they were taken captive by the Romans. John the Baptist message was simple: Matthew 3:2 - "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." he said to all Jews. To the crowd and roman soldiers he said these words: Luke 3:10-14, "And the crowds were questioning him, saying, "Then what shall we do?" And he would answer and say to them, "The man who has two tunics is to share with him who has none; and he who has food is to do likewise." And some tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, "Teacher, what shall we do?" And he said to them, "Collect no more than what you have been ordered to."Some soldiers were questioning him, saying, "And what about us, what shall we do?" And he said to them, "Do not take money from anyone by force, or accuse anyone falsely, and be content with your wages." The other place is in Ezaekiel 18, in a immoral climate God says those that do this will live: Ezekiel 18:4 - Behold, all souls are Mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is Mine. The soul who sins will die. Ezekiel 18:5 - "But if a man is righteous and practices justice and righteousness, Ezekiel 18:6 - and does not eat at the mountain shrines or lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, or defile his neighbor's wife or approach a woman during her menstrual period— Ezekiel 18:7 - if a man does not oppress anyone, but restores to the debtor his pledge, does not commit robbery, but gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing, Ezekiel 18:8 - if he does not lend money on interest or take increase, if he keeps his hand from iniquity and executes true justice between man and man, Ezekiel 18:9 - if he walks in My statutes and My ordinances so as to deal faithfully—he is righteous and will surely live," declares the Lord God . Jesus made it simple, He died so we would have everything we need for our life and to be godly. Because Jesus died and was raised from the dead, we do not have to choose evil. We can choose to obey the truth and the truth sets us free. Jesus promised those that are faithful to Him will never hunger or thirst. We all can share some food and clothes with others. Do you know of a congregation with a food closet or a clothes closet? Donate to them instead of goodwill. Treat people justly or as Jesus said love your neighbor as yourself. Father please help us to be saved in our immoral state, grant us repentance and salvation, teach us how to please you and we renounce anything not Holy, In Jesus of Nazareth's name amen

Please bear with me while I examine a song, I heard a while back… We have all heard about someone making a deal with the devil, for instance in Charlie Daniel’s song the devil went down to Georgia. I want to examine if a person was in such an agreement, or as Simon the sorcerer was told he was in the bond of iniquity, after he was baptized. Meaning he had made a deal, a bond of iniquity, and had not repented of it. Act 8:20-23, “But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. (21) Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. (22) Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. (23) For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.” To examine the song Johnny “bet” the devil for a fiddle of gold against his soul. When Johnny, assuming he was a Christian, took that bet he had lost all protection from God, because he reached for something not from Jesus table. Being in sin seeking after his reward for his bet with the devil, the devil could attack him at free will. Give the devil an inch and he will be a ruler. If you give the devil a ride, then he will always want to drive... 1 Cor 10:21. “Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.” The devil played but savvy enough to let Johnny win thinking he was still saved and had won the bet. Heb 13:5, “Let your conversation (behavior) be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” You Gotta Not want what the devil offers you…If you don’t want what he has got then he will flee, or as it is written, in Jas 4:7, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” The truth: Johnny could never keep the fiddle of gold and please God, because God did not give it to him. Further, as long as he keeps the fiddle of gold he is in a bond of iniquity and wanting what came from the devil’s table and not Jesus table. The only way Johnny could now be saved, is to renounce the fiddle of gold and surrender it to God, to accept only what comes from Jesus Christ table. The devil would have us all pay him for our fiddles of gold, but Jesus says let go of your sin, and come unto me and I will be all you will ever need. 2 Cor 6:17-18, "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, (18) And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." Father, we renounce all of our idols, and things we have selfishly won and gained, we renounce and surrender all to you, please show us mercy and sanctify us, remove anything that is hindering us from obeying the truth and living with you, in Jesus of Nazareth's name amen (may it be so). Excerpt from the song… The Devil went down to Georgia He was lookin' for a soul to steal He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind And he was willin' to make a deal When he came across this young man Sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot And the Devil jumped upon a hickory stump And said, "Boy, let me tell you what" "I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player, too

After Jesus baptism but before the cross… What was Jesus of Nazareth’s message, when he was here on earth before He was delivered unto the death of the cross? Mat 4:17, “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” The scene of the cross… Luke 23:35-43, “And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God. (36) And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, (37) And saying, if thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself. (38) And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. (39) And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. (40) But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? (41) And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. (42) And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. (43) And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.” The repenting thief actions, he repented, he stopped the madness of people making fun of Jesus. He could not do much dying beside Jesus, but Jesus nailed to the crosss, got one more soul saved, Because the one thief repented and obeyed Jesus message that he preached: Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Did the one thief that was saved, repent and make amends with Jesus? Yes, or no? Did the repenting thief obey Jesus’ message? Yes, or no? So, then it is an obedient faith that saves, because even the devils believe and tremble… but a thief was saved by one deed of repentance in obeying Jesus message at life’s last dying breath.

It is written in Romans 1, that God will give up on people and allow them to have a reprobate mind. I see this happening here in America, where people are pretending to be animals, boys pretending to be girls and girls pretending to be boys. Even further, these operations performed by mad scientist and doctors, are a modern-day Frankenstein. They are mental, hacking up a human body according to their own imaginations and opinions. They are insane, in the 1940’s these would have been arrested for human manipulation. It is ridiculous! I do not know what is worse, a human asking to change their bodies or a doctor saying he can do that for you! These men that have an operation to fashion their male bodies to be like a female, are just paying a mad scientist and doctor, for expensive custom. They are still males pretending to be a female, it is unnatural, "their fantasy", it has to be supported by mad science of hormones, and supplements, that turn people against their own soul’s deepest need, and corrupts the body. Why cannot these people ask their Creator, to reveal His plan and purpose for them in their lives? Any thoughts and comments are welcome… It is written: Rom 1:26-28, “For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: (27) And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. (28) And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;…”
