Matthew 7:15-20
Matthew 7:13-14
Finding the narrow path that leads to the small gate should be on the mind of every Christian in every church, but instead it seems that both are searching for the next new gadget, the next post on some social media, or more money and the things money can buy……. The broad road that leads to the wide gate,
i believe this is why only a few find and stay on the narrow path, if it is found they keep jumping off every time something catches their fancy, and then try to get back on but can’t let go of the worlds toy’s, The thing is you not only have to find and stay on the narrow path but you have to make it through the small gate.
i also believe the gate is small so that we cannot take our baggage through with us. i believe that includes all baggage, not just the stuff and things but all, a puffed up ego, an argent attitude and pride are all baggage we have to get rid of along with un-forgiveness, bitterness, and strife to fit through.
Keep up the good fight and run the race through the finish line,
Remember this world is not home, and the things is it are only distractions
Tomorrow; How's your fruit?
Matthew 7:7-12
Rather simple ask seek and find; Ask Christ in to your life, seek after Him and you will find Him Ask for forgiveness and you will receive it Ask for food, clothing and shelter and your Father in heaven will take care of your needs
Ask for things that are not truly a benefit to your life in Christ and you will probably be told no, no not because Father God douse not love you but because in His ultimate knowledge of past present and future He knows what you have need of and what would be a hindrance to you.
i think one of the problems that most of us American Christians have is we are not content whit just having our needs met, but we have desires for everything that the world has to offer.
If you can’t take it with you when your body dies truly what value does it have?
i have learned to deal with much and have learned to be joyful with little, the worlds way of things is to have a lot of money, the word says “the love of money is the root of all evil”
Think you don’t love money? Then the next time you get paid first take ten percent and give it to the church (tithe) next take ten percent and give it to the church as a gift, next ten percent and go down to the local café and give it to them to cover the bill of their customers as far as it will go.
That’s right give away 30% of your income. i know most are not able to do this, because they have gotten so far in debt and have so many bills it is not even a consideration, but the bad part is that those who could do this won’t do it either.
If you can’t give it away no matter if it is money or anything ells, then you have a love attachment to it, check your motives for holding on to things and money.
If we will put others needs before our own and show respect and honor to those we come in contact with, and if we are true in our heart to treat others well then we will be treated well, treating other as we would like to be treated.
For we are to be more holy than the prophets and this is the Law and the Prophets
Monday; How small can you go?
Matthew 7:6
6 You are not to give that which is holy to dogs, neither are you to cast your pearls before swine, so as not to them tread them under their feet, and turning again, all to tear you apart.
There are those who have made the choice to not, just not fallow Christ, but to tear down, belittle, and even do damage to Christians, We need to share Christ and His love with others, but at the same time we are to watch who we are talking to and what we are saying to them. The word says you can tell a Christian by their love for one another.
So go out and share the love of Christ by be aware of who you are speaking with and what you say to them. And when the Lord give you something special just for you keep it to yourself, and let Him work it out in you, or through you. The Lord gives you a dream or vision hat is to you for you and about you keep it under your hate and let the Lord lead you through your journey, for others can quench the dream or vision very quickly.
Tomorrow; Simlpe ask
Made it back from the wilderness, short trip river rose over 4 feet over night hug rain storm up the valley so came back early rather than have to wait till someone came looking for us.
Tomorrow back to Matthew 7 have a blessed day
