Job 5:13
“He captures the wise by their own shrewdness,
And the advice of the cunning is quickly thwarted.”
[[[ He (Father God)
captures the wise;
those who are wise in their own eyes, worldly wisdom.
by their own shrewdness;
exceptional discernment and judgment especially in practical matters,
shrewdness:
clear understanding and good judgment of a situation, usually resulting in an advantage the ability to judge people and situations well and make good decisions:
Was reading in Job last night and came across Job 5:13 and the word shrewdness caught my attention.
Went ahead and finished reading Job 5 and went to bed.
It is now 3:AM and i am a wake thinking about this word,
The above is what i found it means.
Have always thought my depth of insight was a good thing perhaps a gift from GOD,
but after looking up the definition and other words associated with it has brought me to see where it can be departmental to growth in the Lord.
Reminded me of contracts i have written after taking the time to look at all the angles,
wording them as to gain an advantage,
and have had to ask for forgiveness,
what the Holy Spirit has brought me to understand is that my shrewdness has me at time brought me to the point of not depending on the Lord or the Holy Spirit to direct my path.
Discernment and being shrewd can be a good thing
but only if the Lord and the Holy Spirit are allowed to take you (me) down that path,
for with their leading that path can be of great value for others,
but when that path is taken on ones own it can be destructive, not only to others but to one’s self.
For in Father God word, the bible Job 5:13 we are told;
“He captures the wise by their own shrewdness”
How much better is it to look foolish in the eyes of mankind, but lead by the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of GOD.
We can think through and put together all kinds of things,
But until we give it all to the Lord and ask to be lead in the right direction it is but foolishness,
no matter how personally or financially profitable it may be.
It is of no value to be right or profitable; if GOD is not the central driving force of our life. }}}
Psalms 62:9
Men of low degree are only vanity and men of rank are a lie;
In the balances they go up;
They are together lighter than breath.
Do not trust in oppression And do not vainly hope in robbery;
If riches increase,
do not set your heart upon them.
Psalms 119:33-40
¶ He.
Teach me, O LORD, the way of Your statutes,
And I shall observe it to the end.
Give me understanding,
that I may observe Your law And keep it with all my heart.
Make me walk in the path of Your commandments,
For I delight in it.
Incline my heart to Your testimonies And not to dishonest gain.
Turn away my eyes from looking at vanity,
And revive me in Your ways.
Establish Your word to Your servant,
As that which produces reverence for You.
Turn away my reproach which I dread,
For Your ordinances are good. Behold,
I long for Your precepts;
Revive me through Your righteousness.
Proverbs 22:8
He who sows iniquity will reap vanity,
And the rod of his fury will perish.
The scripter over and over tells us to not lean on our own understanding, that the wisdom of man is nothing but foolishness in the eyes of the Lord.
GOD who knows all things, who created all things and who has set life in motion for all.
It is our choice if we chose to listen to and follow Him or to go it on our own.
Will we humble ourselves,
repent of our sins,
will we chose to follow the teachings of the Lord our God
or justify our wick form of wisdom?
I will leave you with this:
Job 28:12-28
¶ “But where can wisdom be found?
And where is the place of understanding?
Man does not know its value,
Nor is it found in the land of the living.
The deep says, ‘It is not in me’;
And the sea says, ‘It is not with me.’
Pure gold cannot be given in exchange for it,
Nor can silver be weighed as its price.
It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, In precious onyx, or sapphire.
Gold or glass cannot equal it,
Nor can it be exchanged for articles of fine gold.
Coral and crystal are not to be mentioned;
And the acquisition of wisdom is above that of pearls.
The topaz of Ethiopia cannot equal it,
Nor can it be valued in pure gold.
Where then does wisdom come from?
And where is the place of understanding?
Thus it is hidden from the eyes of all living And concealed from the birds of the sky.
Abaddon and Death say,
‘With our ears we have heard a report of it.’
God understands its way,
And He knows its place.
For He looks to the ends of the earth And sees everything under the heavens.
When He imparted weight to the wind And meted out the waters by measure,
When He set a limit for the rain And a course for the thunderbolt,
Then He saw it and declared it;
He established it and also searched it out.
And to man He said,
‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;
And to depart from evil is understanding.’”
2 Chronicles 19:7
“Now then let the fear of the LORD be upon you;
be very careful what you do,
for the LORD our God will have no part in unrighteousness or partiality or the taking of a bribe.”
Psalm 111:10
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;
A good understanding have all those who do His commandments;
His praise endures forever.
Proverbs 1:7
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction. Now take the time and go read Proverbs 8
i’m out for now
Monday, August 12, 2024, 06:06
In Exodus 33 we are given a conversation that toke place between Moses and GOD whom here is calls the Lord.
A conversation we can gather a lot of insight and good information about prayer.
Exodus 33:12-16
¶ Then Moses said to the LORD, “See, You say to me, ‘Bring up this people!’ But You Yourself have not let me know whom You will send with me. Moreover, You have said, ‘I have known you by name, and you have also found favor in My sight.’ “Now therefore, I pray You, if I have found favor in Your sight, let me know Your ways that I may know You, so that I may find favor in Your sight. Consider too, that this nation is Your people.”
And He said, “My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.” Then he said to Him, “If Your presence does not go with us, do not lead us up from here. “For how then can it be known that I have found favor in Your sight, I and Your people? Is it not by Your going with us, so that we, I and Your people, may be distinguished from all the other people who are upon the face of the earth?”
Exodus 33:17-20
¶ The LORD said to Moses, “I will also do this thing of which you have spoken; for you have found favor in My sight and I have known you by name.”
Then Moses said,
“I pray You, show me Your glory!”
And He said,
“I Myself will make all My goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of the LORD before you; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show compassion on whom I will show compassion.”
But the Lord said,
“You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live!
the dialog:
Exodus 33:12-16
Moses said to the LORD,
“See, You say to me, ‘Bring up this people!’ But You Yourself have not let me know whom You will send with me.
Moreover, You have said, ‘I have known you by name,
and you have also found favor in My sight.’
{ first Moses stats back to the Lord what the Lord has said.
a conversation like we might have one with another,
talking no elaborate words just talking one with another.
that is what praying is, us talking with the Lord and the Lord talking with us.
Problem we seem to have is that we do not wait or take the time to listen to what the Lord has to say. }
“Now therefore, I pray You,
if I have found favor in Your sight,
let me know Your ways that I may know You,
so that I may find favor in Your sight.
Consider too, that this nation is Your people.”
{than Moses askes to know the ways of the Lord so that he may know the Lord and find favor in the sight of the Lord.
Through this conversation we can pick up that finding favor in the sight of the Lord can be increased by knowing the Lord, knowing not knowing of,
I believe Moses was very aware of this,
this is something that each of us should be asking of the Lord that we may know His ways so that we may know Him, and through knowing Him we live in a manor that is acceptable to Him.
By doing so we will grow in favor in the sight of the Lord.}
And the Lord said,
“My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.”
Then Moses said to the Lord,
“If Your presence does not go with us, do not lead us up from here.
For how then can it be known that I have found favor in Your sight, I and Your people?
Is it not by Your going with us, so that we, I and Your people, may be distinguished from all the other people who are upon the face of the earth?”
{{{ Moses was wise, not wanting to go forward unless the Lord went with Him.
How many times a day do we make choices without even considering if what we are doing is acceptable in the sight of the Lord much less that the presence of the Lord would even go with us.
If we are truly seeking the Lord we will be desiring to know Him and His ways, by knowing Him we can know how to live in the same manner He lives, (by keeping His commandments) We are to seek the face of the Lord
In Chronicles 16:11 we are told Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face continually.
1Chronicles 16:8-12
Oh give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name;
Make known His deeds among the peoples.
Sing to Him, sing praises to Him;
Speak of all His wonders.
Glory in His holy name;
Let the heart of those who seek the LORD be glad.
Seek the LORD and His strength;
Seek His face continually.
Remember His wonderful deeds which He has done,
His marvels and the judgments from His mouth
2Chronicles 7:13-14
“If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people,
and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways,
then I will hear from heaven,
will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Hosea 5:15
I the Lord will go away and return to My place Until they acknowledge their guilt and seek My face;
In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.
This is the path the Lord has taken me down,
I find it interesting that it led to this verse;
Let’s read it aging.
Hosea 5:15
I the Lord will go away and return to My place Until they acknowledge their guilt and seek My face;
In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.
Hosea 6:1-3
¶ “Come, let us return to the LORD.
For He has torn us,
but He will heal us;
He has wounded us,
but He will bandage us.
He will revive us after two days;
He will raise us up on the third day,
That we may live before Him.
So let us know,
let us press on to know the LORD.
His going forth is as certain as the dawn;
And He will come to us like the rain,
Like the spring rain watering the earth.”
Side note::::
Want our country back?
Want the Lord to step in and heal our land?
Then do you part.
Turn or return to the Lord,
seek the Lord,
seek His face
seek His righteousness,
seek His will.
As His word says let us press on to know the Lord.
Let us seek His face continually. }}}
i am going to stop here for today.
Think about what you have read.
Are you truly seeking after the Lord and His ways?
Or just playing church?
Think your good deeds or our good thoughts will get you to heaven?
if so you are only fooling yourself.
you need to know the lord and His ways and then continually seek His face, continually seeking to obey His commandments.
out for now.

1John 2:3-6
¶ By this we know that we have come to know Him,
if we keep His commandments.
The one who says,
“I have come to know Him,”
and does not keep His commandments,
is a liar,
and the truth is not in him;
but whoever keeps His word,
in him the love of God has truly been perfected.
By this we know that we are in Him:
the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.
{{{ how do you walk?
who or what directs the way you live? }}}
We are right out told "Do Not Love the World nor the things in the world"
1John 2:15-17
¶ Do not love the world nor the things in the world.
If anyone loves the world,
the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world,
the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life,
is not from the Father,
but is from the world.
The world is passing away,
and also its lusts;
but the one who does the will of God lives forever.
{{ are you so in love with the world the things in it and its ways that you can not obey the commandments of the Lord your GOD?
are your stuff and things so important that you are willing to cling to them and reject the commandments of GOD? }}
true believers have been given the Promise Is Eternal Life
1John 2:25-29
"This is the promise which He Himself made to us: eternal life.
¶ These things I have written to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you.
As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you,
and you have no need for anyone to teach you;
but as His anointing teaches you about all things,
and is true and is not a lie,
and just as it has taught you,
you abide in Him.
¶ "Now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears,
we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming.
If you know that He is righteous,
you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of Him."
{{ do you allow the Spirit of GOD lead and direct your path?
do you allow the Spirit of GOD to teach you?
do you wait to hear from the Spirit of GOD before you make a decision?
or
are you so caught up in the world and its ways that everything has to be instant? }}
choose this day who you will serve.
For this choice will determine where you will spend eternity.

GOD will not be mocked.
If you are paying any attention to the olympics you are no better than the ones who mocked GOD at the opening of the olympics.
God will not be mocked,
Galatians 6:7-10
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.
For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.
So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.
Praise GOD and worship Him.
1Chronicles 16:23-36
Sing to the LORD, all the earth;
Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.
Tell of His glory among the nations,
His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.
For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised;
He also is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
But the LORD made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before Him,
Strength and joy are in His place.
Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples,
Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name;
Bring an offering, and come before Him;
Worship the LORD in holy array.
Tremble before Him, all the earth;
Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved.
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
And let them say among the nations, “The LORD reigns.”
Let the sea roar, and all it contains;
Let the field exult, and all that is in it.
Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD;
For He is coming to judge the earth.
O give thanks to the LORD, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
Then say, “Save us, O God of our salvation,
And gather us and deliver us from the nations,
To give thanks to Your holy name,
And glory in Your praise.”
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel,
From everlasting even to everlasting.
Then all the people said, “Amen,” and praised the LORD.
Psalm 33:8
let all the Earth fear the lord;
let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
For he spoke and it was done;
He commanded and it stood fast.
Fearing the Lord is not just a simple fear (O I’m afraid of you type fear) but rather a fear of reverence of who the Lord is.
Fear that recognizes the power and the position the Lord has.
A fear that we will drives us to give Him proper respect.
A fear that leads us into obeying Him, worshiping Him, praising Him.
Fear that brings us to the point of not caring what anyone ells may think or say about us.
As Christians are to fear the Lord our GOD not the world.
If we fear the world then we will give in to that fear of:
i'm afraid to say something because of what they others might think or say of me.
Fearing what man may think or say about me or may do to me demands the rejection of the Lord and who He is and the power He holds.
But if i fear the lord then i will be more worried about obeying Him the Lord who spoke all things in to being the One who sealed the mouths of the lions for Daniel, the One who stood with the three Hebrew boys in the fiery furans, the One whose Spirit killed those who lied to Him, the One who gave you breath and can take it away. We should have more fear of Him
The Lord our GOD, than of what anybody else thinks or can do. For man can only kill the body but The Lord GOD can condemn our soil to hell.
In Proverbs 1:7 We are told,
“fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge”
Proverbs 1:20-33
¶ Wisdom shouts in the street,
She lifts her voice in the square;
At the head of the noisy streets, she cries out;
At the entrance of the gates in the city she utters her sayings:
How long, O naive ones, will you love being simple-minded?
And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing
And fools hate knowledge?
Turn to my reproof,
Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you;
I will make my words known to you.
Because I called and you refused,
I stretched out my hand and no one paid attention;
And you neglected all my counsel
And did not want my reproof;
I will also laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when your dread comes,
When your dread comes like a storm
And your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
When distress and anguish come upon you.
Then they will call on me,
but I will not answer;
They will seek me diligently but they will not find me,
Because they hated knowledge
And did not choose the fear of the LORD.
They would not accept my counsel,
They spurned all my reproof.
So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way
And be satiated with their own devices.
For the waywardness of the naive will kill them,
And the complacency of fools will destroy them.
But he who listens to me shall live securely
And will be at ease from the dread of evil.”
The fear of the Lord should (will) bring us to a point of not sinning,
To the point that we are afraid of sinning and offending the Lord our GOD.
But due to their hate for the Lord God the world does not fear GOD.
And instead, they mock Him.
i think that we who do love the Lord our GOD,
weakness on our part we surrender to sin.
But then at that point;
do we really fear the Lord our GOD?
Do we really love Him with all our heart, mind and soul?
We are told those who believe on the Lord Christ Jesus will be saved.
Don’t you think that if you truly believe on the Lord Christ Jesus, know Him, who He is and what He has dune for us that we would that we would not love Him and fear Him in awe and wonder, knowing that He can condemn our souls to hell.
The American church has sold us a week gospel, shouting from the roof tops grace, grace, grace walking away from fearing Father God, from fearing Christ our Lord.
Hell fire and damnation is not spoken of so the body of believers have no true fear of what GOD can and will do to those who do not fear Him.
Those who do not keep His commandments.
They see no real consequences for their thoughts or actions.
Read these words from wisdom in proverbs
Proverbs 1:20 - 33
¶ Wisdom shouts in the street,
She lifts her voice in the square;
At the head of the noisy streets she cries out;
At the entrance of the gates in the city she utters her sayings:
“How long, O naive ones, will you love being simple-minded?
And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing
And fools hate knowledge? (fools heating the knowledge of the LORD)
Turn to my reproof,
Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you;
I will make my words known to you.
Because I called and you refused,
I stretched out my hand and no one paid attention;
And you neglected all my counsel
And did not want my reproof;
I will also laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when your dread comes,
When your dread comes like a storm
And your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
When distress and anguish come upon you.
Then they will call on me, but I will not answer;
They will seek me diligently but they will not find me,
Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD.
They would not accept my counsel,
They spurned all my reproof.
So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way
And be satiated with their own devices.
For the waywardness of the naive will kill them,
And the complacency of fools will destroy them.
But he who listens to me shall live securely
And will be at ease from the dread of evil.”
Do you truly fear the LORD your GOD?
Do you?
Or do you still play around with sin and those who sin?
Are you so entangled with the world and its ways that you do business with those whom you know are supporting sin?
Are you so emotionally attached to the world and the ways of the world that you still participated?
Are you still doing business with target? With amazon? With Disney? Halmark?
Are you still paying attention to the Olympics?
These and many other businesses serve the one who heats the LORD your GOD.
Let’s go back and read aging what the LORD has to say to us the church:
Revelation 2:4-5
“But I have this against you, that you have left your first love.
Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place—unless you repent.
Yet this you do have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches
Revelation 2:14-17
“I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who kept teaching Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit acts of immorality.
So you also have some who in the same way hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
Therefore repent; or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of My mouth.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
{{{ do you have any concept of what the teachings of Balaam and the Nicolaitans are????
They are heaters of the LORD your GOD! They mock GOD and make fun of HIM, they support evil.
Just like the above-mentioned business.
They spread and encourage immorality.
Do you tolerate them in your life?
Call your self a Christian then you are the church.
Do you fear GOD or what man may say or think. }}}
Revelation 2:20
“I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.”
{{{ the woman jezebel,,,, really look at what you are watching in the movies, on tv, on the internet, and even hearing in some of the churches.
The jezebels are all around you, the thing is are you listening to them are you tolerating jezebels in your life??? }}}
Revelation 3:2-3
“Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die;
for I have not found your deeds completed in the sight of My God.
So remember what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent.
Therefore if you do not wake up,
I will come like a thief,
and you will not know at what hour I will come to you.
Revelation 3:8-11
“I know your deeds. Behold, I have put before you an open door which no one can shut, because you have a little power, and have kept My word, and have not denied My name.
Behold, I will cause those of the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and make them know that I have loved you.
Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
‘I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 3:18-20
“I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.
Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door,
I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.”
We have been and are given opportunity after opportunity to make the right choices and do the right thing.
But do to the lack of fear for the LORD we continue to dabble with the things of this world the things, ways and teaching of the Balaam, the Nicolaitans and the Jezebels.
And in return no longer fear the Lord you God.
Depending on His loving kindness and grace,
but never taking in to consideration His commandments and that He is a just GOD, Who has warned us
Matthew 7:21-23
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
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
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.
And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.
Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house;
and it fell—and great was its fall.”
Will you be the wise or will you be the foolish????
Will you continue to take part with the heaters of GOD, the foolish who say there is no God but yet mock Him???
Will you continue to do business with those who support the evil against Father GOD, against your LORD JESUS????
Will you continue to play the fool for the ungodly in this world?
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says.

A few days ago, i sent this out as an e mail.
Seems i should post it here now.
Joshua 1:7-9
“Only be strong and very courageous;
be careful to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you;
do not turn from it to the right or to the left,
so that you may have success wherever you go.
This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth,
but you shall meditate on it day and night,
so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it;
for then you will make your way prosperous,
and then you will have success.
Have I not commanded you?
Be strong and courageous!
Do not tremble or be dismayed,
for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”
In GOD’s word we are told:
“If and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways,
then I will hear from heaven,
will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
Take responsibility for your actions.
We have been given a short list of things we are to do and not do.
But yet the human race even the church has and is choosing to take the wide path the simple path the path of least resistance, pleasing themselves with the lusts of the world.
The lust of possessions and position rather than seeking the Face of GOD and obeying His words.
In Matthew 7:13-14 we are told;
¶ “Enter through the narrow gate;
for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction,
and there are many who enter through it.
For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.”
The short list we have been given to follow and obey;
(1) “You shall have no other gods before Me.”
(2) “You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.”
(3) “You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.”
(4) “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God;
in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you.
For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.”
(5) “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the LORD your God gives you.”
(6) “You shall not murder.”
(7) “You shall not commit adultery.”
(8) “You shall not steal.”
(9) “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.”
(10) “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house;
you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
Jesus was asked
“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?”
And He said to him,
“YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.”
The second is like it,
“YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.
On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
Yes Christ Jesus came that we might live in freedom from the consequences of sin, but not so that we could live in sin.
Want your country to change for the good?
Then take responsibility for your actions.
And turn from your disobedient of GOD’s word.
Put your faith in the creator instead of the created.
A man can not save you,
only the Son of God, the Lord Christ Jesus can save you.
And to all the pastors on this mailing list, remember these words in Matthew.
Matthew 7:21-24
¶ “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
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.’
Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.”
Just because you hold a title does not give you a free ride in to heaven.
It does not give you the right to hold on to sin,
Do you have things in your life that take up your time before you give your time to GOD?
Do you have idols in your life?
Possessions, position, sports, actors, worldly books, photos, art work, anything that possesses your time and draws your faith and dependance from the LORD your GOD.
Do you through around the name of the LORD your God to make another think you are more holy or have arrived?
Do you use His name in vain?
Do you keep the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God;
in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you.
For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth,
the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day;
therefore, the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.”
Do you Honor your father and your mother?
Do you commit murder?
Do you think evil of or against your brothers?
If so, Christ Jesus says you have committed murder.
Do you commit adultery?
Do you look upon a woman with lust, with desire, with immoral thoughts?
If so Christ Jesus says you have already committed adultery.
Do you steal?
Do you do things or say things for your own gain?
If so you are stealing from others
Do you speak false things against your neighbor?
Pass on things that have been said with out checking out if they are truth or not?
Than chases are you are or have passed on lies about others.
Do you covet what your neighbor’s has?
They have it so you have to have it also?
Do you love the LORD your GOD with ALL your heart, with ALL your soul, with ALL your mind? or is your love for the Lord divided?
Do you love your neighbor as much as you love yourself?
Knowing the word of GOD and living by the word of GOD are two different things.
Want your country to be a free country?
Want your country to prosper?
Then get your life securely planted in the commandments we have been given by the LORD your GOD.
Repent of the sin in your life and turn to Christ your LORD.
If truth is to be told it is the churches lack of dedication to the Lord Crist Jesus that has put us in the condition we are in as a country.
As the morals of the Churches have declined the morals of the country have declined.
And now it seems the country has no morals at all.
Call yourself a Christian?
Then take responsibility,
Stop playing Church,
If you are a pastor or in leadership, step down from your ivory tower, and treat your congregation as equals.
For in all truth and reality you are not any better than the ones you think are the least of them.
It is truly sad what the Church has become in America, Men of GOD pastors, if your wife cheated on you, brought others in to your home entertained and made love to them on a regular basis, how would you feel?
Really,
Then how do you thing Christ Jesus feels when the Church His Bride entertains others?
You can not serve two masters, and GOD will not break your will.
His spirit will direct and teach but only if you allow Him to do so.
You cling to the worldly tings and concepts.
Do not be shocked when you stand before the LORD and hear these words
“Depart from Me for I never knew you”
It is your choice:
Take responsibility for your thoughts and actions, in all humility seek the face of GOID and repent of the sin in your life,
if you truly do so and ask for forgiveness the LORD your GOD will forgive you, and HE says He will heal your land.
So, what are you going to do?
It is your choice.
Something to honestly consider:
What day did Father GOD set as the sabbath?
And what did the LORD Jesus say in Matthew
Matthew 5:17
“Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.”
The law of Father GOD states
“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God;
in it you shall not do any work,
you or your son or your daughter,
your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you.
For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth,
the sea and all that is in them,
and rested on the seventh day;
therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.”
The sabbath day was at the end of the work week, that is Saturday.
That does not mean you can’t have church on Sunday,
it means we are to keep the sabbath and keep it holy,
the sabbath is the day we are to set aside to spend with our Lord our GOD.
Not watching sports,
not spending our time catching up on thing we did not have time to do the rest of the week,
not washing and polishing the god in the driveway.
It is to be the day we set aside to spend in the word of GOD seeking the face of GOD,
a time of rest in the LORD our GOD, not in the world.
This is one thing i think the Seventh Day Adventist got it right.
Think about it
What will you do?
Don’t get sucked in to the old religion that has been given the new name of ‘brother sun’
The worship of the sun which has been and is being done on Sunday.
Take the time to do the research as to who and to when the Church of Christ started having church on Sundays,
if you honestly do the research, you will be surprised at what you will find.
Out for now,
Keep your powder dry, your heart pure and your eyes on the LORD your GOD.
