Was woken up with the knowing that if Father God wanted His word explained more that He would have put the bible together in a different way, could you image the size of the bible if all the explanations that are given in the church were written in it.

Just the teachings we as men come up with for one verse could be larger then the bible it’s self, and I was given the peace to just share the word, it is what Father God had put in the book how many years ago? And was excitable for teaching the Christian how to grow in the Lord for how many years? Why or how is it that it has become no longer enough?

i thank we need to get back to the word and stop being concerned that it might offend someone, if you get offended or you feel guilty about something then take care of it, don’t try to smooth it over with some liberal bandage, or phrase that makes you fell better.

Love doesn’t cover up the truth, love shins the light on the truth so that it may bee seen by all who will look upon it. satin likes to cover up and distort the truth he is the liar, just like liberalism, put a bandage on it so it can’t be seen and then you don’t have to deal with it, yea right.

Matthew 5 through 7 5: 3 through 11 tells us how to be blessed and what we will receive if we are, or do these things.

What more encouragement doses any one need? The next 97 verses lays out how we should live to become the blessed. Now if Jesus shared in this mater and it was good then, then if someone shares in the same mater today, shouldn’t it also be good enough for today, why do we thank that we can better explain and direct people then Jesus?

It is really up to the hearer if they are going to except the truth or not, saying you’ve offended me, or your mean, or you have no love, when all they have to do is except the fact that they have sin in there lives and they need to get right with God and be forgiven and then apply the word to there lives so they can live a clean life, yes we all have sinned and fallen short but if we except the truth and ask to be for given Father God is faithful to forgive us and if we will abide in Him, and His word abides in us, then we can live a Godley life filled with the blessing of God, we may not get them until we enter heaven but we will get them. i believe we will be blessed by God if we obey, during our lives here on earth.

Back to the Word

Tomorrow; Judge those in the body

self and Others

Matthew 7:1-5

We are not to judge others, for by the standard and measures we use to judge others they will be used to judge us.

(7:1 when we find fault one with another, we must beware we don’t do it without cause, or to seem holier than them, or in hatred of them.)

But we must first look at ourselves and ask God to take the sin out of our lives before we can help a brother get rid of his by directing him to the Lord rather then looking at him through darkened eye's, eye's filtering things through sin. We should all realize and keep telling ourselves that the sin in my life is bigger then the sin in a brother's life; because it is in me.

Matthew 7: 6

Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces. i understand grace and mercy but i also understand this scripture to be saying that we as christians need to be cautious about what and to whom we share things with. i have seen a lot of us giving away the holy things the Father has given us and then be torn down, the Lord gives you a vision of what He has for you, or wants you to do, this is a holy gift from God, and we turn around and tell someone, and then they discourage you by telling you either how hard or impossible or impractical you are being, and are allowed to steal the holy blessing the Father has planned for us. i have seen this both in and out of the church. And there are those that we share the Lord with and they then use your words to draw the life out of you; like people that do come to church and bible studies. They use the christian language to suck up to you to get favor with a christian or christian group, they use the holy words of God to consume the time of the christian and wear them down spiritually, and in turn this .tears down the holiness God has placed in us. i don't quite know how to say what i seem to know deep down inside, but i have seen christians torn down and completely worn out by people. then , (they call it witness to them) to the point they don't have the energy to do the things the Lord has given them to do. When the Lord gives someone to you to witness to i believe it is not only a joy to the one doing the witnessing but refreshing and up lifting to our souls, not a tearing down of the one doing the witnessing.

Matthew 7:7-12

Tells us that if we ask we will receive, if we seek we will find, and if we knock it shall be opened to us. Therefore what ever you want others to do for you, do so for them. In other words, if you have a need and you have $2.00 but need $20.00 then find someone that needs $2.00 and give it to them, and see what God will do for you. And then the path our journey should be on

Matthew 7:13-24

Enter by the narrow gate, for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it. For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those who find it. Rather simple to understand, you can go the way of the majority on the broad path that allows you to live and work how ever you want to, to walk in all the sin you can muster up. Or you can take the narrow path that means you obey the Word of Father God, and then you will not be conformed by the world.

Matthew 7 15-23

Tells us that not everyone that calls themselves a Christian are Christians and that we can tell if someone is or isn't a Christian is by their fruit. Just like a thistle plant can not produce fig a non-Christian cannot produce holy fruit, they may be able to give the appearance of holy fruit but if you look close it is always rotten. And the Lord says that many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles? And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.

Matthew 7:24-27

Explains: That if we hear the Words of God and act upon them we are wise, But if we hear the Words of God and do not act upon them we are foolish. So to sum things up, we can be foolish if we chose and follow the world and be conformed by the world, Or we can take the path that we are told is foolish in which, in truth is a wise path to take, even though we will catch a lot of grief from man. Once we reach the narrow gate we will be small enough to go through it and enter into the kingdom of the Father.

Tomorrow: Back to the Word

Taught from James 1:21-25

Therefore putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your soul.

For if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man that looks at his face in a mirror, and once he looks away he forgets what kind of a man he was. But the one that look intently into the perfect law (Matthew 5:21-47) the law of liberty and lives by it doing as we are commanded not just hearing it and then forgetting it, that person will be blessed in what he does.

We should not practice our righteousness before men to be noticed; otherwise we will have no reward with Father God who is in heaven. No one needs to know how much or how little we give, that is known by the Father. When we pray we should pray in secret not out in front of every one and we should not use meaningless words, or a lot of words, a short prayer from the heart is more affective then a long prayer with a many of words. We are taught that the Father knows what we need before we ask Him, We are told we should pray like this.

Matthew 6:9-13      Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Your kingdom come Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen

When i first became a Christian i prayed both of these prayers, and the Lord always took care of me.

Psalms 23      The Lord is my shepherd, i shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the path of righteousness for His name's sake. Even though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death, i fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and loving-kindness will follow me all the days of my life, and i will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Amen

i think each day i will go back to praying both again.

We are to forgive others so that God will forgive us. And in the degree we forgive others God will forgive us.

If we fast we are not to let others know. We are not to store up treasures for ourselves on earth,

We are not to get and hold on to a lot of stuff,

We are to store up treasures in heaven, by doing as the Lord has instructed us to do, loving others and serving them.

We are not to serve this world we are to serve God we cannot serve both!

Matthew 6:24     says     “No one can serve two masters, and if you try you will love one and hate the other or you will hold to one and despise the other. You can not serve God and mammon.

Then 25 says     "For this reason"      for the reason of serving God instead of man or trying to serve both, if you just serve God then there is no reason to become anxious about any thing, for God will take care of your life, food, drink and clothing, because God knows we need all of these things".

33 and 34 then says     “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for it's self. Each day has enough trouble of its own”.

So then if i seek the kingdom and righteousness of God He will take care of all my needs. But if i become anxious and start worrying about things then i will strive after them and will not be trusting in God but instead be serving mammon.

Conclusion read and follow the instructions; to do so read (Matthew 5:21-47)

Tomorrow      self and Others

Recap

1. we are not to commit murder

2. Don’t be angry with a brother.

3. Don’t speak badly of a brother to put them down.

4. Not to call a brother a fool.

5. If you have done something to offend a brother go to him and make it right.

13. We are to be merciful to those whom are friends as well as enemies.

14. Greet an enemy the same as you would greet a brother; treat everyone with a gracious and joyful heart.

In the world we are taught;

1. you have the right to say anything you about anyone you want, and it is even more excitable to speak badly about someone then good, and to be angry has become the normal way of life for a lot of people Christian and non-Christian alike. And the normal response if you have offended someone seems to be they need to get over it.

2. If you are sued do all you can to make people believe you did no wrong and the other person can do no right.

3. Adultery is not only acceptable but is encouraged in so much of what we see and hear.

4. Lusting after things including women is shoved at us in almost every ad and show and popular book out there.

5. That divorce is ok for any and every reason you could possibly think of, and is even encouraged by the government.

6. We are encouraged to make oaths and to speak in any matter we see fit to accomplish whatever we want.

7. If we are sued to say whatever it takes to get out of it as long as we don't have to pay then tear down the other person as far as we can, and to get whatever we can out of the situation.

8. We are taught to show no mercy at any time unless we can get something in return for it.

9. To not even look at someone much less greet them,

10. To only be friendly to those that we consider to be our friends or people we think we can get something from.

Which brings us to --- the ways of man are unstable, and the ways men are not the ways of God.

Looks good on paper but now to live within the path set forth, starting today

Tomorrow; Serving One Master

So how should we live?

Mathew 5:21      We should not be angry with a brother,

We should not speak of a brother as being empty headed or good for nothing,

And we should not call a brother a fool. If we have offended a brother we need to go to him and make things right with him before we can approach God, with our offering i think this has to do with offering up our lives to Him also

Romans 12:1      I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

We should not look upon a woman and lust after her, for that is to have committed adultery with her in our heart. Lust leads to adultery so we should not lust after anything

Romans 13:14      But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts.

James 4:1      You lust and do not have; so you commit murder. And you are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel.

1st John 2:16-17      For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eye and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. And the world is passing away, and also its lust: but the one who does the will of the God abides forever.

We are to speak straight forward not wavering in anything

Mathew 5:37      But let your statement be yes, yes or no, no and anything beyond these is of evil.

We are to return good for evil, and give to those whom ask more then they ask, to be stretched, to allow our lives to be stretched out, so we may serve others.

We are to love our enemies, and pray for those who persecute us, in order that we may be sons of the Father who is in heaven. We are to treat every one the same, to greet each person we meet the same, with a grateful heart, that we can be Jesus to them.

And that brings us to Matthew 5:48 Therefore you are to be perfect, as you’re heavenly Father is perfect.

This has gotten me in trouble with others before but i truly believe that when the Father put something in His Book, (the bible), like be perfect as He is perfect, then He expects us to do our best to be perfect, as He is perfect. And for where it is located then i believe that Matthew 5:21-47 explains how we can be perfect, i also believe when Father God tells us to do or not do somthing He also gives us the way and ability to follow His instructions.

To morrow part two.
