America Bless God… You have heard God Bless America? How about America bless God with deeds of repentance…with true deeds and loving your neighbor as yourself…as in feeding the hungry…clothing your neighbor…visiting those that are sick praying for them…taking care of a stranger…visiting those in prisons…these are the talents Jesus said we are to use. America, are you blessing God or is God blessing you? All God requires is faithful obedience to the simple truth… Jesus said the two greatest commandments is to love God with all your heart mind soul spirit and strength and the second is to love your neighbor as yourself… love works no ill will towards its neighbor are you helping are you part of the solution or are you part of the problem? (Mark 12:29-31) You ever notice you tell the truth, and the problems get smaller or solved? Jesus the Christ of Nazareth died on the cross and was raised from the dead three days later so that you'd never have to choose a wrong or evil thing so that you can always choose the right thing and do what is true… Jesus died so all your wrongs could be forgiven and so that you can never do a wrong thing again he will teach you the truth but you have to obey him in righteousness… Jesus will never ask you to do a wrong thing and Jesus will show you how to do a right thing Jesus will show you how to be forgiven with the father of all things… Does this sound like good news to you? Then…listen…Jesus died so you never have to choose a wrong thing again and He will teach you the truth so that you can always do what is right…will you follow Jesus and agree to read the New Testament or New Agreement of Christ? Yes, or no? Do you believe Jesus died on the cross and was raised from the dead? Yes, or no? Listen to Jesus words… Matthew 11:27-30 All things have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knows the Son, save the Father; neither doth any know the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son wills to reveal him. 28 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…If you agree to read the New Agreement between God and mankind called the New Testament of Christ…you will be taking on Christ yoke…what He requires and be learning the truth found in Christ…you will find freedom from evil or rest for your soul as you learn the truth and practice it faithfully…Will you agree to read the New Testament of Christ? Yes, or no? Matthew 5:5-8 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Matthew 18:3-6 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. 5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receives me: 6 but whoso shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depth of the sea. Mark 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. Father, please clean us and help us to be faithful we are but children in diapers before You…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Bring forth fruits worthy of repentance… Sometimes words can cover so much and we receive so much mercy and forgiveness but what happens when words for forgiveness does not change our situation…we have to bring forth fruits worthy of repentance… sometimes God is like I hear what you're saying…but let me see… you mean what you say…before I do another thing… Matthew 3:7-8 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said unto them, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruit worth of repentance…many of the religious leaders of John the Baptist day had reputations of being blameless and yet he told them to bring forth fruits worthy of repentance deeds that God would accept… The minimum requirements for Jew were not breaking the 10 commandments… Jesus said the greatest of all commandments is to love God with all your heart with all your mind with all your soul and with all your strength and he said the second greatest commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself… on these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets…(Mark 12:29-31) Jesus said not to even offer a sacrifice until you made things right with your brother… can you look everybody in the eye…can you shake everybody's hand… if not go make corrections now… wait for the right opportunity ask for forgiveness at the right time… seek mercy… you're the one that done the wrong they're the better person that has to forgive you…(Mat 5:22-24). In the parable of the talents…Jesus tells a story about three men that were given a large sum of money Two of which traded and made more money for their master and were given more to be faithful with…one hid the money and was unfaithful and was thrown into the outer darkness…that which he had was taken and given to the faithful. Jesus illustrates the parable of the talents…with a judgement scene…he expected people to use money or talents to do His will… 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 separated 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, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in; 36 naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye 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, ye 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 ye did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink; 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; naked, and ye clothed me not; sick, and in prison, and ye 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 unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto me. 46 And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life. Have you feed the hungry…clothed the naked…took care of strangers…visited the sick…visited those in prison…gave drink to a thirsty man? These are worthy sacrificial deeds of repentance and mercy… Father, forgive and bless us for we are sinful men and women in need of deeds worthy of repentance and mercy so we can reconcile with You our Creator and Sustainer and receive mercy…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Confession is good for the soul…   James 5:16-17 Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The supplication of a righteous man avails much in its working…in its working…a fervent earnest prayer from a righteous man can help heal a sinner…that mercy be shown…Jesus said first make things right with your brother or sister even if you just called them a name…listen to what Jesus said…   Matthew 5:22-24  but I say unto you, that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, (idiot) shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever shall say, You fool, shall be in danger of the hell of fire.  23 If therefore You art offering your gift at the altar, and there remembers that your brother hath aught against you, 24 leave there your gift before the altar, and go your way, first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift…sacrifice.   Jesus said if you called someone a fool or idiot…then you need to make it right with them before you offer a sacrifice…God sees being right with your fellow man more valuable than your gold in your bank accounts…God sees being right with Him and His children as more valuable than an offering of sacrifice…obedience is better than sacrifice…   1 John 1:8-10 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.  9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.   We are all just children in diapers before God…Jesus said we had to be converted like a little child or we will not enter into the kingdom of God…Jesus said we got to put Him first…so this means…we got to be daddy Jesus…can I? Daddy Jesus, may I? Daddy Jesus, I need a? Daddy Jesus, will you? Daddy Jesus look what they did to me? Jesus wants first place in your heart…Jesus wants to rule your heart not just be in it…with truth and right doing…righteousness.   Father, please help us confess and repent…we renounce anything unholy…please forgive all our sins…and help us make amends where needed with deeds of repentance, confession, and mercy…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

How repentance is created… Listen to what is written in the holy Bible given by inspiration of the Holy Spirit recorded for us to learn and grow from… For godly sorrow works repentance unto salvation…what is godly sorrow? is it sorry God I offended you? Is it sorry God I hurt your feelings…sorry God I made you cry…for godly sorrow works repentance unto salvation a repentance which brings no regret but the sorrow of the world works death. Some people sorry they got caught…other people sorry they did wrong because God was offended… Listen to what David the man after God's own heart has recorded about him sad… the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit a broken and contrite heart oh God you will not despise… David the man after God's own heart says if your heart is broke and humbled before God for what you've done and who you are this is an acceptable sacrifice… Listen to what Jesus said… blessed are the poor in spirit…those that say I cannot do it without you God… for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven... Blessed are those that mourn for they will be comforted…as in blessed are those that say I'm sorry God didn't mean to do you wrong… Blessed are the meek or the obedient for they shall inherit the earth…blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled… bless are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy…blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God… What does pure in heart mean…but to have pure intentions…to have no evil in your heart…to have no ill will towards your neighbor…but to have the purest intentions…to intend to do good will to others… what does blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy mean…if you forgive you'll be forgiven… what does hunger and thirst after righteousness mean…it means hunger and thirst after being right what God more than food… and you will be filled you will be made right with God…Father we offer you a corrupt heart that you may cleanse and recreate pure in Jesus of Nazareth name Amen.

It is not wrong to feel tempted it is only wrong when we fall to our lust and we do the deed… Listen to what is written to Christians from the New Testament of Christ which is a new agreement between God and mankind that works salvation… …there has no temptation taken you but such as man can bear…if you are being tempted you can say no and walk away…but God is faithful he will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you are able… God will not let the tempter ask you or offer you anything that you cannot say no to…but with the temptation will also make a way of escape that you may be able to endure it…have you asked for the way of salvation? Or do you want more opportunities to sin? Listen to what James said through inspiration of the Holy Spirit…let no man say when he is tempted…I am tempted of God for God cannot be tempted with evil and God himself tempts no man but each man is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed or given opportunity then the lust when it has conceived bears sin and sin when it is full grown brings forth death…separation from God… Listen in the end of time some Christians will have to go through a test not from God that will require faithfulness through death…fear not those things which you are about to suffer behold the devil is about to cast some of you into prison that you may be tried and you shall have tribulation 10 days… be you faithful unto death and I will give you a crown of life… in John's revelation one church…one situation people are going to be thrown in jail and they're going to be threatened with their very own lives and have to be faithful to Jesus through death… each of us have decided to follow Jesus. If you're a Christian and I decided I'd take a bullet for Jesus many years ago and not much has changed although I don't want to die I'm willing to die if it is my day then it is my day… You cannot sit at the table of Jesus and the table of devils… you cannot receive from other sources... Jesus must be your only source your only supply you cannot commit idolatry… we are commanded to love God with all our heart mind soul spirit and strength even if it means it kills us… Father we renounce anything unholy and we ask we be not drawn away through our lust and remain faithful through death in Jesus of Nazareth name Amen.

Introduction: 1.      In my life, I must say I never knew God. I must say my parents did not force me to learn about a Creator, a Savior, or a Sustainer. I was a typical product of America. I spent my youth learning how to make friends and play baseball, perhaps other sports as well. I learned how to fish, how to hunt, how to chase girls, and mostly how to desire for money and success. 2.      It seems from a child, I can remember being taught in America if you had enough money then you could do anything. I have had many friends, relatives, now co-workers, and others dream about becoming extremely successful and rich. If I had a million dollars, if I win the lottery, if I invent the next thing-a-ma-bob, if I could get on shark tank, If I could get on a singing show, etc… then I would not have a worry in the world. 3.      I have spent my entire life seeking after money, success, and all kinds of other idols. It seems that because most of knowledge, understanding, creativity, success, etc… do not include the What would Jesus do (WWJD)? We have lost the American dream by worshipping the idol success in the temple of money.     I.                    There is a God and no matter what you think He is what He is A.    It is God’s way or it is not the way (Our perception does not change reality) 1.      As a man thinks in his heart so is he (Prov 23:7) a.       Proverbs 23:6-7 KJV  Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:  (7)  For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. 2.      Many cults, religions, and mystics have experiences a.       How many stories have been told of an experience they have had. What are the point of these stories? We do not need to tell of experiences, we need to tell the truth of God’s love. Jesus did not say what you will experience will set you free but He said “the truth will set you free” John 8:32 b.      Many people say they hear angels, God, dead people, and that a voice talks to them. God does not whisper in your ear or mind but has spoken through His word. It is up to us to remember His commands and do them. B.     Many today do not know God, either due to ignorance or obstinacies 1.      Do you care at what table you sit at? (1 Cor 10:21-22) a.       1 Corinthians 10:21-22 KJV  (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.  (22)  Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? b.      We need to be careful who and what we are receiving from. 2.      We are ignorant (Eph 4:17-19) a.       Ephesians 4:17-20 KJV  This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,  (18)  Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:   (19)  Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.  (20)  But ye have not so learned Christ; b.      We can be like Jesus by obeying or we can be like our neighbor, which do you want? C.     Our minds, hearts, and children are becoming so darkened that God is giving up on us 1.      Many do not recognize God as God (Rom 1:20-25) a.       Romans 1:20-25 KJV  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:  (21)  Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.  (22)  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,  (23)  And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.  (24)  Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:  (25)  Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 2.      Many are calling their sin, God. (Rom 1:26-32) a.       Romans 1:26-32 KJV  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;  (29)  Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,  (30)  Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,  (31)  Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:  (32)  Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. b.      How many people today are saying God made me this way, therefore it is God will that I change from a woman to man or a man to a woman, or to be homosexual. It is not God’s will for sin to control mankind. II.                 Each person here has a measure of faith to know God exists A.    Every Design had a Designer 1.      The watchmaker a.       Someone has given me an illustration of a watch b.      The idea is that for all of this world to happen by accident or mere chance is like me taking the parts of a pocket watch, putting them into a bag, shaking the bag and its contents up, then reaching my hand into the bag and pulling out a put together, complete and working pocket watch. c.       You and I both know you can not put the right parts in a bag shake it up and have a complete product. You see each part of a pocket watch has a design and a purpose. d.      Each gear, piece, bearings, and shafts all depend on the others for it proper working order. e.       The watch would never work unless an intelligent being put each piece in its proper place so that it would run correctly. f.        God is the watchmaker g.      God is the one who put each part of this universe together h.      He is the source of all things. i.        He is the intelligent being that put everything in its place. 2.      No one can please God unless they understand who He is (Heb 11:6) a.       Romans 12:3 KJV  For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. b.      Hebrews 11:6 KJV  But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. B.     God is Faithful to keep His word 1.      What is the New Testament or Covenant? a.       It is Jesus Will for us to obey. It is the agreement between God and man if they want to be saved. God says I will perform all of these things (promises and rewards) and we say we will obey and follow Jesus. 2.      Are we keeping our agreement with the Creator? Our Savior? C.     God never gives a command we cannot perform 1.      How do you love God? (John 14:15) (1 John 5:2-3) a.       John 14:15 KJV  If ye love me, keep my commandments. b.      1 John 5:2-3 KJV  By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.  (3)  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 2.      What will we be judged by? (John 12:47-48) a.       John 12:46-48 KJV  I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.  (47)  And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.  (48)  He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. III.              How do we know God’s Will? A.    Knowledge of God’s Written Word 1.      Study God’s word (2 Tim 3:16-17) a.       2 Timothy 3:16-17 KJV  All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:  (17)  That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. 2.      Properly applying God’s word (2 Tim 2:15) a.       2 Timothy 2:15 KJV  Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. B.     What happens when we refuse to obey God’s commandments? 1.      Listen to some scripture found in Jerimiah a.       Jer_13:10  This evil people, which refuse to hear my words , which walk in the imagination of their heart , and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing. b.      Jer_23:22  But if they had stood in my counsel , and had caused my people to hear my words , then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings. c.       Jer_6:19  Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it. 2.      If we “love” God Then we must do what He has commanded a.       If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. (John 15:10 KJV) b.      2 John 1:6 KJV  And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. c.       2 John 1:9 KJV  Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. C.     God will not give us commands we cannot obey 1.      God’s commandments help us when we obey (1 John 5:2-3)(Mic 2:7) a.       Micah 2:7 KJV  O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly? 2.      Look at the reward when we obey (Rev 22:14) a.       Revelation 22:14 KJV  Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. IV.              Each one of us can do the simplest things to serve God and not ourselves A.    Look at this parable of the talents (Mathew 25:14-30) 1.      We all have talents 2.      2 used their talents and more was given. 1 Did not and his was taken away. B.     Look what is included after it (Mathew 25:31-46) 1.      You may say what talents do I have? 2.      Listen to what the Lord said after His lesson on talents: a.       Matthew 25:31-46 KJV  When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:  (32)  And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his 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, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:  (35)  For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:  (36)  Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.  (37)  Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?  (38)  When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?  (39)  Or 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 have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.  (41)  Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:  (42)  For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:  (43)  I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.  (44)  Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?  (45)  Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.  (46)  And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. b.      There is not a human here that does not eat, that does not drink, that does not understand when a person has hit bad times and has no clothes, that does not understand what being sick means, and that does not understand when someone is put into prison. We all can reach out and provide the needed things for anyone. Just a side note: in roman prisons they did not feed you, someone had to provide you with food or you died. c.       We all have these talents. Have you used yours lately? Conclusion: 1.      Mark 12:29-31 KJV  And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:  (30)  And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.  (31)  And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. 2.      Are you keeping the commandments of God? God asks, are you learning my words? Jesus said “Matthew 11:28-30 KJV 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.” 3.      Jesus also said “John 10:9-11 KJV I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.  (10)  The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.  (11) I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” 4.      Perhaps you were following Jesus and forsook your Lord like I did, remember this scripture “Hebrews 13:5 KJV let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” 5.       God’s says in 2 Peter 3:9 KJV  The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” Father we renounce anything unholy and ask you would grant us repentance and mercy in Jesus of Nazareth's name amen.

Do you know judge Jesus… …listen to what is written of him in the New Testament of Christ which is the new agreement between God and mankind… One only is the lawgiver and judge even he who is able to save and to destroy but who are you the judge your neighbor…that in the name of Jesus…every knee should bow of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father…though he…Jesus was a son yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered and having been made perfect he became unto all them that obey him…the author of eternal salvation…we must all be made known or manifest before the judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive the things done in the body according to what he had done whether it be good or bad… Jesus of Nazareth died on the cross and was raised from the dead three days later so that you would never have to choose a wrong thing again so that you would never be overcome by evil and so that you could do all the good that you could think of… have you heard the good news that Jesus died and was raised from the dead so you never have to choose a wrong or evil thing again? Yes or no? Jesus died so that you could be forgiven and so you never have to choose the wrong thing again…Jesus says whoever hungers and thirst after being right with God…right with Him…Jesus…his ways will be your soul’s fill…You want to know how to live your life right…ask Jesus he'll show you how…but you have to practice truth and righteousness…you have to obey the truth and do what's right… Salvation requires obedience…Jesus is the author of salvation to all those that obey him not to all those that believe. Some have the knowledge that he died on the cross and was raised…such as satan…satan himself knows Jesus died and was raised from the dead but does not obey him. Knowledge does not save you obedience to the truth saves you… Jesus said he that believes and is baptized will be saved he that does not believe or chooses to disobey the good news…one who rejects the message they never have to choose a wrong thing again…we'll be damned. These they do not obey Jesus will burn in hell forever in the hottest fires ever created…Forever…being destroyed with eternal destruction. In the hottest fires never consume forever being destroyed… Do you believe Jesus of Nazareth died on the cross and was raised from the dead three days later yes or no? Will you be baptized in the Christ? Yes or no? Have you ever been baptized in the Christ before…yes or no? Do you still believe in your salvation? Yes or no…or do you still believe in your baptism yes or no? Romans 10:9-11 because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved: 10 for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame. Romans 6:1-11 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein? 3 Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection; 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin; 7 for he that hath died is justified from sin. 8 But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him; 9 knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death no more hath dominion over him. 10 For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11 Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus. Pray with me? Father we renounce anything unholy and pray that you would teach us what is holy and true and right we pray you'd meet our soul’s deepest needs for salvation that You would heal our soul’s deepest needs for salvation that we may prosper and be in health as our soul prospers and we might develop a character fit for heaven and yes I have been baptized into Christ and Yes I still believe Jesus is the Only Son of God…in Jesus of Nazareth name Amen.

Apply the laws of God with the mercy of God in good faith… Jesus talking to the religious leaders of his day said as it is written warning until you scribes those that made copies the law and Pharisees those that really preached the law, you pay tithe 10% of mint and anise and cummin and have admitted the weightier matters of the law… judgment, mercy, faith, these thoughts you have done and not to leave the other undone… How many of you know every law in your state? How many would like to be warned before they're punished… these Pharisees were warned these scribes were warned. They were told they were worried about how much money they give instead of treating people right. How many of you ever been like I don't know I don't want to hear his opinion on the matter he always would send me to hell? We are to be about God's law about what is judgment would be about showing mercy instead of punishment about warning people…I mean God warns us before he punishes us right shouldn't we do at least the same… Jesus said blessed are the merciful when they shall obtain mercy if you're in a position of judgment you better show mercy or you will have no mercy… Jesus said blessed are those that hunger and thirst after righteousness for they will be filled… do you really want what's right with God or are you just trying to make a paycheck? Pray with me Father we pray that You would help us to apply the law of You with the mercy of You that we might have proper judgment and that we might be merciful that we might be shown mercy in Jesus of Nazareth name Amen

Love not this world… Love not this world here in the end times when the end is near you want some instruction try to get you to heaven and not to burn in hell you want instruction on how to leave temptation and how to be saved listen to what is written here: love not the world neither the things that are in the world if any man loves the world the love of the Father is not in him for all that is in the world the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the vain glory or pride of life, is not of Father but is of the world and the world passes away and the lust thereof but he that does the will of God abides forever…therefore let him that thinks he stands take heed unless he fall there has been no temptation taken you but such as man can bear…you haven't been tempted with anything that other men have been tempted with…but God is faithful who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you are able but with the temptation make also the way of escape that you may be able to endure it…wherefore my beloved flee from idolatry…be subject therefore unto God…your Creator but resist the devil and he will flee from you… The devil will come out for you the easy way…he'll offer you the easy way…instead of the way of truth and righteousness. Perhaps he offers you a way…where you can lie, steal, and cheat, your way through instead of being honest and doing what's right. You got to want what's right… You got to see what's right…and You got to do what's right. Do you hunger and thirst for righteousness? Yes or no…Do you really want to be right with God…Do you really want to be right with your fellow man…then do not fall for temptation. Let Jesus of Nazareth be your only source…and supply. Be like daddy Jesus, can I? Daddy Jesus, may I? Daddy Jesus, will you? Daddy Jesus look what they're doing to me… Will you pray with me? Father, we renounce anything unholy and ask you would free us from this world and its temptations in Jesus of Nazareth name Amen.

Study to show yourself approved… 2 Timothy 2:15 Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth. Philippians 2:12-13 So then, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure. 2 Timothy 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. John 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. Matthew 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. 2 John 1:2 for the truth's sake which abides in us, and it shall be with us forever: 2 John 1:9-11 Whosoever goes onward and abides not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God: he that abides in the teaching, the same hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If any one cometh unto you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and give him no greeting: 11 for he that giveth him greeting partakes in his evil works. Father, please help us to be true and faithful in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Pray without ceasing… Listen to what is written… for instructions to Christians concerning prayer…is any among you suffering let him pray…confess therefore your sins one to another and pray one for another that you may be healed the supplication of a righteous man avails much in it's working. In nothing be worried or anxious…but in everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God and the peace of God which passes all understanding shall guide your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus… …and this is the boldness that we have towards God that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us and if we know that he hears us whatsoever we ask we know that we have the petitions which we've asked of him… …these are instructions given to Christians on how to pray when you're sick…when you worried…when you are weary…when you're praying for others…praying for their healing…praying for their repentance…praying for their souls deepest needs…be meet and satisfied…for godly sorrow and a converted soul for Jesus… Our Father who art in Heaven Hallowed be your name your Kingdom come your will be done here on earth as it is in Heaven please give us this day Our Daily Bread and forgive us our trespasses…we forgive those who have trespassed against us…please deliver us from the evil one and lead us not into temptation…for Yours is the Power and the Glory and the Kingdom forever and ever please help us to be wise unto salvation for ourselves and others in Jesus and Nazareth name Amen.

After baptism then what… Listen to some instructions given by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit through the apostle Peter…found recorded in 2 Pet 1: 5-8… yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence…this is a promise with conditions…as my part and then there is God's part. My part is supposed to supply all diligence…what is diligent? It means giving all your effort…to love God with all your strength…to be single minded. In your faith (obedience to the truth) supply virtue…moral excellence. It is written in the prophets that if you practice God's word with an upright heart obeying His word does you no harm…you've been baptized…you have faith in Jesus… your Savior died for you and was raised so that you could be forgiven. You must supply the I want to do it right. You have to supply the hunger and thirst for righteousness… Jesus will help you, but you got to want to do right and be right… so add to the faith that you have moral excellence or virtue...the I want to do it right. And then add to your virtue…knowledge. Add the know-how to do something like Jesus…I want to do right by the knowing of what is right. Knowledge is lack of ignorance and ignorance is lack of knowledge. After you got the I want to and the I know how to…then plan your work and you work your plan… add to your knowledge self-control. The doing of it…the practicing of the truth learning that way didn't work, try a different way that does. Just make sure your actions or deeds do not offend God. You keep trying to apply the knowledge without offending God… and then your self-control becomes patience or endurance under trials. In other words, the more you know, the more you're able to do. The more you're able to be faithful with, the more enduring you will go through. Remember the Lord won't give you more than you can handle and with the way of temptation he'll provide a way out…but some of us go running into temptation wanting to meet sin…instead of running away from the tempter… So, we add to our doing of knowledge self-control applied through patience or endurance and then we add to the endurance of trials a character of godliness. What is a natural result of going through a trial and doing what Christ said do? Right doing or a character of right doing called…Godliness. In other words, we become Christ like with this natural progression and the adding to your faith virtue or moral excellence. You learn the truth in Christ producing knowledge…then you learn to apply with self-control which produces patience because you're having to apply self-control under trials. Applying God's word properly with knowledge, remembering the truth, and how to walk in the spirit. The natural result of applying God's word and walking in truth and spirit is godliness and to a character of godliness…we can add brotherly kindness. By being kind or sharing the same love with the brethren other Christians. When we love other Christians s as ourselves instead of just being a good person…when we try to share our goodness or what God has given us with others or increasing in brotherly kindness. Then we add to brotherly kindness love for all men, showing mercy to those who cannot repay…we are adding love to brotherly kindness…Peter says if these traits be in you and abound you will not be barren or unfruitful you'll have fruit fit for heaven… In John's revelation one of the churches is told to buy gold tried in a fire…that means eternal treasures…a work that will abide in heaven…saving a soul…feeding a Christian…helping a widow…helping an orphan…developing a character full of deeds and treasures fit for Heaven our eternal home. We are called to be a good person until your kindness overflows to others and then you develop a character of godliness, and you’d be like Christ. Sharing Christ and Christ blessings with others this is called agape love this is the highest form of love it's brotherly love for all men not just Christians. It's wanting what's best for the other guy…So what we have here is a formula on how to grow out of baptism into the mature Christian becoming Christ learning to develop a character fir for heaven our eternal home. Father, help us to grow and learn to be just like Jesus and You…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
