Do Not Grow Weary In Doing Good

 "As for you, brothers, do not grow weary in doing good." 
II Thessalonians 3:13

"And 
let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up."
Galatians 6:9

"Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you."
I Peter 4:12
​
" 
6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you."
James 4:6-10

The first step to salvation

7/12/2020

13 "For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard?[c] And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent?"
Romans 10
You have to believe that Jesus is God.  That He lived a perfect life.  That He died on the cross and took your Eternal Hell for you.  That He rose from the dead.  Then you must repent of your sin and turn your back on everything including yourself.  You must have faith, saving faith, in Jesus by giving Him your whole life.

Once you have believed in Jesus that is the first step according to verse 14.
A person must believe in Jesus (unsavingly) in order to call on His name to believe in Him (savingly).
The Greek for, "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved" is a continual and ongoing thing.
First you believe in Jesus.  Then you call and call and pray and pray and seek and seek until you give Jesus your whole life and are definitely savingly believing because you have given Jesus everything and He has given you Himself.

Many people believe in Jesus and go to Hell.
You can't just have a kinda sorta belief in Jesus.
You must believe in Jesus and call and seek after Him until you have Him and know it.
Believing in Jesus is like realizing your drowning in the sea.  So you call and scream and pray until Jesus comes in and saves you by having you surrender your life to Him fully.

Believe
Call on the Name of the Lord
Give your whole life to Jesus
Make sure it worked
If not keep trying
Remember Jesus Loves You!
​God Bless!

How do I find Jesus

7/12/2020

"For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit."
II Corinthians 3:18
"but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them."
Acts 16:7
The Lord is the Spirit.  The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Jesus.
You can meet Jesus and give Him your life through His Spirit, the Holy Spirit.
God must do it so you must pray.
You must do it so you must seek.

The Holy Spirit is:
Warm and Loving
Holy and Righteous
True
Agrees with the Bible
Points to Jesus

You can sense the Spirit of Jesus sometimes when:
your listening to worship music
reading the Bible
talking or hearing about Jesus or the cross
sensing the conviction of sin
feeling God's Love
feeling you don't have Jesus and will go to Hell
the urge to give Jesus your whole life
          
You can give Jesus your whole life in salvation or recommitment or both.
Combine them.
Give Jesus your whole life and start a brand new life.
Pray, "Jesus from now on I'll do whatever You want me to do."

Jeremiah 29:13
"You will seek me and find me, when you seek me 
with all your heart."

Forgetting what is behind...

7/11/2020

Philipians 3:13-14
"...but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

Paul said through the Holy Spirit that he did one thing.  He said he forgot everything in the past and behind him and strained toward Jesus.
If we are to be saved we must give up everything and have finding Jesus be our only goal.
Jesus said, "you will find me when you seek me, when you seek me with all your heart".  And I would add, seek with everything and don't give up.
We must first of all make sure we have Jesus.
The Bible says the Lord (Jesus) and the Spirit are one.
"Make your calling and election sure." II Peter 1:10
"Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith."
II Corinthians 13:5
As Jesus said, "Ask, seek, and knock..."
Matthew 7 and Luke 11
Our Primary concern is Jesus.
We first must ensure our radical conversion.

If we are saved then we still follow this verse.
We forget the past and press on toward the prize of God's high call in Christ Jesus.
The prize is in Jesus.
The prize we are fighting for.
Jesus is the goal.
Jesus is the prize.
We fight and walk by faith to find Jesus and give Him our life to get Him and be united to Him.
And then we live for Him with our eyes on the prize of finally seeing Him face to face!

Bottom Line:
Forget everything.  Find Jesus.  Give Him your life.  Make sure it worked (atom bomb like experience).
Look forward to seeing Him in person!

Forget everything, remember Jesus.

Hebrews 12:2
 "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

More lies of the enemy

7/6/2020

0 Comments

 
If I just get a little bit more money...
If I just buy a few more things...

Find something to worry about a little bit...
Find something to be angry about a little bit...

Once I do that, then I will be ok...
Once that is over, I will be ok...
When I accomplish that, things will be good...
Where is my next boyfriend or girlfriend...
What is the next movie I will watch...

The enemy attacks our hearts and minds.
The enemy attacks with blatant sins and puts those thoughts in our head and heart.
But he also attacks us with not being content and not focusing on Jesus.
We obviously have to avoid blatant sins.
But we also need to watch out for the things on the above list or things like them.
We need to be content in Jesus.  If we need something, to pray about it.
We should stop looking for the next thing, because it never ends...
We should ask Jesus what He wants us to do!
He Loves Us So Much!
He Is So Kind!

As I said in a previous blog, the enemy will also tell you that you are worthless and you are pointless and your no good to anyone.  The enemy will also say it has always been bad, it will always be bad, and it won't get better.
The enemy will say sin is ok.
The enemy will say you can't stop sinning.
The enemy will say he is stronger than you and Jesus.
The enemy will say you can't get saved.
The enemy will say you don't have the power to live right.
The enemy will say Jesus does'nt love you.
The enemy will persecute you.
The enemy will confuse and frustrate you.

We know that Jesus loves us and is with us and is stronger than the enemy.

The best way to combat lies is with Jesus living in you.  Also through prayer, reading the Bible, and loving Christian fellowship.
The Bible gives us the Truth and encouragement and points us to Jesus Who IS THE TRUTH!

Jesus has given us Truth and Freedom, but it is to be used in a Holy way that loves Jesus and His people.

​Have a Godly Great Day!
