No Guile!

                                                                       No Guile!   A Spirit of “Guile” is “Untrustworthy”.   Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is “No Guile”.  (John 1:47)   God cannot use a Heart/Mind Filled with “Guile”.   Guile – A type of “deceit” that is cunning, crafty, or artful.      It can also mean duplicity, treachery, or insidiousness.   To have no guile means you are “honest” and speak Truth, because you have filled your heart/mind with what is Right and Proper.  In the Absence of Sincerity and Truth, We Default to “Guile”. We must “Desire” Sincerity and Truth before we will Live Sincerity and Truth.   Do you desire Guile, or do you desire to Tell The Truth? To be a person of guile, deception, is evidence that we do not obey nor trust the Holy Spirit, but trust and obey the demonic spirit.  The Holy Spirit would never tell anyone to deceive.  We would never deceive if we “love our neighbor as we love our

Adolescence!

                                                                       Adolescence!   The Pathway to Adulthood.   When I was a child, I “spoke” as a child, I “understood” as a child, I “thought” as a child: but when I became a man, I “put away” childish things.  (1 Corinthians 13:11)   You Are Just, “Too Old” For All That “Foolishness”! For an Old Person to be “Stuck in Adolescence” is a Shame and a Pity.   Our Daily Nugget is telling us that we “must grow up”. Nothing is meant to last forever.  The past is over, forever; the fruit of adolescence remains.  The fruit of adolescence is a “wise adult” or a “foolish adult”.  Wise parents cannot teach their children to be foolish; foolish parents cannot teach their children to be “wise”.   We Teach Our Children “What We Are”! The child’s main concern is about what they “Like”.  The adult’s main concern is about what is “Best”.  Oftentimes what we like is not what is best.  The “world” is waiting on and depending on Kingdom Citizens to “Grow

Time's Up.

                                                                          Time’s Up.   “For the Wicked”.   When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices, and when “the wicked perish” there are shouts of joy.  (Proverbs 11:10)   The “Wicked” Will Cease from Troubling.   Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that a time will come when things will go well for the righteous and the city will rejoice.  And it is letting us know that a time will come when things will go bad for the wicked.  The Days of the Wicked are numbered.  Repent Now!   The “Job” of the Wicked is to Trouble the Righteous.   Righteous – Acting, Living, in obedience to “The Bible”. Wicked – Acting, Living, in disobedience to “The Bible”.   The Bible “Alone” is God’s Word, not religion nor tradition.  Many are living in accordance with religion and tradition and are living in Disobedience to the Bible. Righteous and wicked people attend Church.  The righteous live by The Bible, the wicked live by the world.  Are yo

Call On His Name.

                                                                 Call On His Name.   He is Salvation.    For there is no difference between the Jew and Gentile-the same Lord of all richly blesses all who “Call on Him”, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord ‘Will Be’ Saved”.  (Romans 10:12&13)   He’ll Come If You Call On His Name.   Our Daily Nugget is Paul letting the Gentiles know that God’s Salvation is “Available To Them Also” and that Everyone Who Calls on the Name of Jesus “Will Be Saved”.  To Call on the Name of Jesus is evidence of Faith and Trust in Jesus.  Jesus, Our Deliverer, “Will Come When We Call On Him”.  This is a Promise.   If your child needed you and called on you, Would You Come?  The more “intense” the Call, the Quicker He Answers the Call. When dilemmas are pressing you down, “Whose Name do you Call”, your name of the name of Jesus?  To not call on the name of Jesus, defaults us to calling our own name.  There is no Saving Power in our name.  Callin

Condemn.

                                                                           Condemn.   Dare Not To Condemn.   But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, “The Lord Rebuke You”!  (Jude 1:9)   Condemn Not, Lest Ye Be Condemned.   We Must Let The Lord Rebuke People. Our Daily Nugget is a “Lesson in Humility”, using it to “Resist The Devil”. The Archangel Michael and the Devil “disputed”, “argued”, about the body of Moses.  In an argument the pride filled heart/mind will lead to words of condemnation; the humbled heart/mind will not condemn, but Trust God to deal with the individual or the situation.  Dealing with the wickedness and the evil of people “requires” a humble heart/mind to Please God in the situation.   Never engage in a verbal fight with the devil.  “Utilize Spiritual Weapons”, Humility and Trusting God are Spiritual Weapons.   Picture the situation here: The Devil and Mi

My Righteousness.

                                                                  My Righteousness.   According To My Righteousness.   The Lord has dealt with me “according to my righteousness”;  according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.  For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I am not guilty of turning from my God.  (Psalms 18:20 & 21)   A Repented Heart/Mind Can Speak Of “My Righteousness”.   The Lord deals with us all, according to our Righteousness and according to our Unrighteousness.  We all have sinned and come short, even David.  David Loved the Lord so much, until God said about him, “He’s A Man After My Own Heart”.   Our Daily Nugget is David praising God for all the rewards God has given him; David states that God has dealt with him like this “according to his righteousness”.  Our righteousness cannot save us from the penalty of sin, but our righteousness (right living according to the Bible), can and does brings Great Rewards from God, according to our righteousness (ri

Look For Jesus.

                                                                     Look For Jesus.   Are You Looking For Jesus?   So, Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto “Them That ‘Look’ For Him” shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation.   (Hebrews 9:28) Ask, and “it” shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and “it” shall be opened unto you:  For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh “it” shall be opened.  (Matthew 7:7&8)    Jesus is coming back to get all who are looking for him.   What Does it mean to Look? 1.      Direct one’s gaze toward someone or something or in a specified direction. 2.      An act of directing one’s gaze in or to see someone or something. 3.      Used to call attention to what one is going to say.   Our “Living” is “Guided By” that which we are Looking For. Each morning when we rise, ask ourselves “What Am I ‘Looking For’ Today”.  To a very Great Degree, “We Control Our
