Godly Sorrow!

                                                                Godly Sorrow!

 

There is Godly Sorrow and Worldly Sorrow.

 

Godly sorrow brings “repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regrets”, but “worldly sorrow brings death”.  (2 Corinthians 7:10)

 

Godly Sorrow Brings Life, Worldly Sorrow Brings Death!

Kingdom Citizens “Speaking The Truth In Love” might make us “feel bad”, but as 

we understand it better, it produces in us “righteousness and holiness”, “life”. Sorrow that we experience from the “wrong things” we say and do brings forth death.

 

Sorrow – A feeling of deep distress caused by loss, disappointment, or other 

                misfortune suffered by oneself or others.

 

The scripture says, “All Things Work ‘Together’ For The Good” of those who Love the Lord, including Sorrow.  Truly there is an up and a downside to everything.  Therefore, we can “Count it All Joy”.  Thank God for everything, as everything works “together” for our good.  God makes good out of bad; it will be “all right”. 

 

Our Daily Nugget

is Paul speaking to the Corinthians and to us that the Word of Truth, at times, brings forth sorrow, but when The Word makes us sorrowful that it is a “Good Sorrow” which leads to life.  This is what Paul’s Words to the Corinthians did, he had written a letter to them, telling them what they were doing wrong and they “felt bad”.  But Paul’s Words led them to “Repent” and then they “felt” good and headed toward life.

 

See what further scripture says:  Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it-I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while-yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance.  For  you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us.  See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern, what readiness to see justice done.   (2 Corinthians 7:8,9 & 11).

 

Ask God to Bless You With the Desire and Wisdom to

“Speak the Truth in Love”, which leads to “Repentance and Salvation”, 

Now Watch What Happens!

The "Wisdom" in "Denying Self"!

                                                   The “Wisdom” in “Denying Self”!   The world is waiting on us to Deny Self and Live Holy!   For the wage of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)    Neither yield ye your members. Do not yield to temptation.  It is no sin to be tempted, the sin lies in yielding.   The Wage of sin is “Death While Living”; freedom is in Jesus. To yield or not to yield to sin is determined by our “Thinking Process”! Whenever we are tempted to sin; we can “Yield” or, we can “Yield Not”!   Just like our mouths speak what we have filled our heart/mind with; rather we yield to temptation or not is based also on what we have “filled” our heart/mind with.   Our Daily Nugget is telling us that the wage of sin is death, Jesus did not change that.  All who “believe” have chosen to “Yield Not to the Temptations” that the world offers.  This is a command from God to us.  The Bible says, “No Command From God to

Ambassadors!

                                                                       Ambassadors!   Everybody is an Ambassador of either God or Satan!   Anyone who isn’t with me opposes me, and anyone who isn’t “working with me” is actually working against me.  (Matthew 12:30) …And has committed to us the word of reconciliation.  Now then, we are Ambassadors for Christ….  (2 Corinthians 19 & 20)   Whose Ambassador Are You?  Look to your living! Ministering the Word of Reconciliation, The Ambassadors Job! We Kingdom Citizens, Christians, “Are” Ambassadors of I Am, God. Jesus said, If You Are Not Working “For Me” You’re Working Against Me!   Ambassador – An “accredited diplomat” “sent” by a Kingdom as its “Official Representative” to a foreign country, “To Deliver the Message of The King”!     The message of the King is given to the Ambassadors through The Word, The Bible, and through The Holy Spirit.   We must Study the Word, the Bible to “Know the Job Duties” for the Ambassador and “listen atten

Don't Let The Devil Ride!

                                                        Don’t Let the Devil Ride!   If you let him ride, he’ll want to drive, so don’t let him ride!   The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the Lord God had made.  One day he asked the woman, Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden? (Genesis 3:1) At that time Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil.  He fasted for forty days and forty nights and afterward was hungry.  The tempter approached and said to him, “If you are the Son of God. Command that these stones become loaves of bread.  (Matthew 4:1-3)   Whenever the devil, the tempter, comes to us, we have two options: We can “let him ride”; we let him ride when we “respond” to him with our words. We tell him that “you cannot ride” when we “respond” to him, with God’s Words!   Our Daily Nuggets are two perfect examples in scripture of two people, one let the devil ride and one told the devil that he c
