A CLEAN HEART

God is the only heart specialist that does not need tools. The Lord searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts (1 Chronicles 28:9).  ” I  will give you a new heart and put a new Spirit within you;I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh,and give you a heart of flesh.I will put my spirit  within you  and cause you to walk in my statutes,and you will keep my judgements and do them” (Ezekiel 36:26-27).God promises to give us a new heart and a new spirit which will cause us to walk righteously,and be obedient to His word,that is awesome.

The heart, my friends, is deceitful and desperately wicked above all things (Jeremiah 17:9-10). Jeremiah 17 verse 10 reminds us that God searches the heart. So when we put our trust in man, we are gambling with our life. According to Jeremiah 17:5-7 a person is cursed if they put their trust in man, but if you put all your trust in God then you are blessed.

Our heart is what the Lord requires from us, but it has to be clean and pure. Read Ezekiel 36:26, Ephesians 4:24, and 2 Corinthians 5:17 which means a new heart turns  you into a new person, or a new creature.

Allow God to give you a heart transplant. Jesus Christ is the donor and God is the heart specialist. Read the prayer on the Salvation Page and receive the new heart God has for you by accepting His son Jesus.

 To the Everlasting Father, our great comforter, the Awesome God, who was, and is, and is to come be all glory, praise, honor and thanks.

GREAT CONVERSATION

Your conversation dictates who you are, some people are great conversationalists, where you could listen to them all day, and not get bored. Some people, however, use words in a  conversation that could thrill you, impress you or just plain hurt and destroy you.

Now as a child of God, we shouldn’t let corrupt communications or conversations proceed out of our mouth, only things which are good, and can be used to edify, and minister grace to the hearers (Ephesians 4: 29). When you are in a funk, feeling down, depressed, and frustrated you need words of encouragement, edification, exhortation, and comfort; Don’t tell me I told you so or I warned you, or to inflict pain or hurt on someone else, that’s just temporary satisfaction that does nothing to your hurt or pain, it will just add insult to injury.

Out  of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks, so a good person out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things (Matthew 12:34-35), which makes them a great conversationalist, which most people appreciate, and love.

But the evil person out of the evil treasure of their heart, bringeth forth evil things, which will lead to death, spiritually or physically, sometimes both. It’s so sad when you allow people to influence you to do bad, and not good, it shows how weak-minded and unstable you are. If God wanted us to think alike, He would not have bothered to equip us with a brain.

However, as Christians our minds are renewed, and we are not conformed to this world but transformed ( Romans 12:1-2); and because we are in Christ, we become new creatures, thus eliminating old habits, old ways, old conversations, and everything becomes new (2 Corinthians 5:17). People should see the difference in us, because our former conversations and conduct have changed, we are no longer lead or driven by the corruption that grew out of our deceitful lusts ( Ephesians 4 : 22-24 ).

So we crucify, kill or destroy the fruits of the flesh: Hatred, anger, un-marital sex, lying, stealing, cheating, bitterness, etc. And put on the fruits of the spirit : love, peace, kindness, compassion, forgiveness, etc (Galatians 5:21-22). Would you like to experience this great Christian fellowship, and experience with your Creator, just go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, then follow the instructions, it’s the experience of a lifetime. All glory, praise, honor, and thanks goes to my Heavenly Father who uses me to get His message to His people, I pray it was a blessing to you, as it was to me.

WHAT’S IN THE GLASS

Most people don’t realize that we are born with an empty glass, and what we fill that glass with determines, our future or where we will end up in this life or the next. The sad thing about it is that some people blame their parents, friends or their environment for what is poured in their glass. But I was sent, to let you know that everyone is responsible for themselves, it is your choice, and decision as to what is poured into your glass. You can fill it with love or hate, good or bad, peace or war, now you must realize by this, that one thing is of God, and the other of the devil. One leads to eternal life, the other leads to hell.

You better believe there is a heaven, and a hell, if you don’t then I am afraid you have filled your glass with contaminated water, that if you keep drinking it, will lead to the destruction of your life. If you have filled your glass with the lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, and the pride of life, then the devil has you on a one way ticket to hell, so you better hop off, get off, jump off, whatever you have to do, you need to be off of that train or bus. “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord “Romans 6:23.

Stop filling up your glass with: sexual immorality, impurity, hatred, jealousy, drunkenness, violence, idolatry, murder, etc. folks who live like this will not inherit the Kingdom of God But if you fill your glass with the fruits of the spirit: Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, self-control, etc, you will find that your life will be ten times better, and you are on your way to glory (Galatians 5:19-26).

For everyone shall bear his own burden….be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man sows that he will also reap, if you live only to satisfy your own sinful desires, you will harvest the consequences of sin, which is death, and destruction, but if you live to satisfy the spirit, you will reap everlasting life – Galatians 6:5-8.

Also know that the only way to God is through His son Jesus Christ (John 3:16 – 17, John 14:6) so if you don’t know God or His son go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, and follow the instructions. I give God the glory, praise, honor, and thanks for using me to send His message out, I pray it bless’ you as it did me.

WHO ARE YOU?

There is a song that says, “girl you can’t do, what the guys do, and still be a lady.” Now I am telling you that, you can’t be a Christian, and do the things non-christians do. If your desire is to serve God, you must untangle yourself from the affairs of the world. Who you follow or imitate, tells you if you are walking wisely, or as a fool (Ephesians 5:1-15). I once told someone that I don’t drink, nor smoke and I don’t hang around those that do. His reply was, what do you do for fun?

You see you can party your way to hell or praise your way into heaven, through repenting, and accepting Jesus (John 3:16 or John 6:40). People think that because you don’t do the things of the world, then you are not having fun. What they fail to realize is that, Christians are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His (God) own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness, into His marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9). As Christians, we must not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our minds, that we may prove what is that good, acceptable, and perfect will of God (Romans 12:1-2). Therefore if anyone be in Christ, he is a new creation; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new, and all things are of God (2 Corinthians 5:17). A double-minded person is unstable in all his ways (James 1:8). Now don’t get me wrong I am not saying not to talk to them, but we can’t do the same things, because we are serving too different God, and as Christians we can’t serve two masters (Matthew 6:24). If you don’t agree with me then it’s time to put on the belt of truth, and give yourself a self-examination. Then, make a choice to serve the God who creates you or the god of this world. We can’t be unequally yoked together with unbelievers; because what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? What communion hath light with darkness? This doesn’t mean we can’t talk to them, but we can’t go drinking or to a strippers club, etc. Wherefore, come out from among them and be separate (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).

Listen, how are you going to tell someone about the God of the universe, when you are doing the devils work with them. Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in you, all His wonderful compassion and purity.

If you don’t have Jesus Christ as your Lord, and Savior, go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, and follow the instructions.

I give God, the glory, praise, honor, and thanks, for using me to spread His message, I pray it blessed you as it did me. I also pray it will make you examine yourself as His child, and be obedient to His word, and His will, in Jesus Name, amen.
