God Bless You as you hear His words and follow His leading.
Matthew 7
1. Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4. Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5. Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Holy unto the dogs is yourself to the world and that which is of value should not be left out to be stolen or destroyed by the world. Of course the holy are those who are of God and that which is of value is our relationship with God.
7. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Mark 11
21.And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22.And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23.For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24.Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25.And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26.But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
We have learned to storm the gates to get what we want. I tell you that is true, but not the way most do it. We should pray for what we want, and then due to faith, believe it is in the works and ours to have, and praise for it until we have it. Praise does not mean singing, it means walking in faith, and living in faith.
Hebrews 11
6. 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.
What is faith?
Hebrews 11
1.Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
First it is for now, and then it is the hard core substance of what we want and becomes the proof of what we have not seen yet.
How do we get faith?
Romans 10
17.So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Faith comes by hearing, and hearing (understanding) by the word of God. Yes, the written word as well as the physical word made flesh.
John 1:14.
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John 14
27.But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
I John
28.But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
In John 14:26 Jesus tells us He will send to us the Holy Spirit, and we shall be taught by the Holy Spirit. No where does He say to be taught by man and in I John 2:27 man is the one whom we are not to listen to, but only unto God via the Spirit of God.
John 3
33.He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
34.For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
35.The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
36.He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
We each get the same measure of the Spirit, but not all of us are using that measure.
Matthew 7
8.For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10. Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11.If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Deuteronomy 30
19. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life
and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Strong's Ref. # 2416
Romanized chay
Pronounced khah'-ee
from HSN2421; alive; hence, raw (flesh); fresh (plant, water, year), strong; also (as noun, especially in the feminine singular and masculine plural) life (or living thing), whether literally or figuratively:
KJV-- + age, alive, appetite, (wild) beast, company, congregation, life(-time), live(-ly), living (creature, thing), maintenance, + merry, multitude, + (be) old, quick, raw, running, springing, troop.
Strong's Ref. # 4194
Romanized maveth
Pronounced maw'-veth
from HSN4191; death (natural or violent); concretely, the dead, their place or state (Hades); figuratively, pestilence, ruin:
KJV--(be) dead([-ly]), death, die(-d).
#Muwth lab-ben. See HSN4192.
Jeremiah 21
8.And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
Life is eternal in heaven; death is eternal in Hell. So, if you choose Jesus, you choose life and life abundantly. But if you don't choose Jesus then you choose death and all the torment that comes with it. We are all given a chance and some it will take until their last breath to finally accept, so we have no idea if anyone is saved or lost, that is between them and God. Yes I can show the fruit and still fall away and choose death, but I do not choose death, I choose Life… I would choose life even if there was no eternal life, but there is.
Matthew 7
12. Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
If you want Love, give love; if you want peace, sow peace into others; if you want a car, then give a car. If you want the down payment on a home, help someone else with a down payment on their home.
Matthew 7
13.Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14.Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15.Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
If someone comes to you saying, "In the name of the Lord I was told to tell you…", at that point take it to the Lord and ask Him. If He did not send this person, pray for them, but avoid them.
Matthew 7
16.Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Romans 8
23.And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
24.For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
Galatians 5
22.But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23.Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Matthew 7
17.Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18.A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19.Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20.Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Some will say, "No, it is the fruit of our labor", but I tell you now it has nothing to do with your labor. It has all to do with your relationship with God. What about 'faith without works is dead'? True, but it is not our physical labors only, but our spiritual ability to bless others. How? Pray for healing, laying hands on, sharing what you have with others not to have less or to tell others how much you have given (because if you do tell others this way you already have your reward matt 6:2) but that you are to get back all you give and then some.
21.Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22.Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name?
22.Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23.And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24.Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25.And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26.And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27.And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28.And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
29.For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
The whole idea of salvation is to be able to get right with God and walk with Him and talk to Him. So many run out to profess without hearing from God and mess up what is in the works. They may try to water in a place where there already is water, and due to their lack of knowledge hurt that which was already watered. If we listen and follow He will guide us to who He wants us to share with.
Mark 4
24.And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
25.For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
Luke 6
38.Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
