Amiss.

                                                                                 Amiss.


To Pray Amiss, is a Worthless Prayer.


You ask and do not receive, because you ask “Amiss”, that you may spend it on “Pleasure”.  (James 4:3)


Beware of “Pleasure”!  Jesus’ Life was Never About “Pleasure”.

“Why” we want, what we ask for, is Important to God; and determines if we get it!


Our Daily Nugget

is letting us know that when we Pray for “Things” that is to be used for our “Pleasure” it is wrong, improper or a faulty Prayer; it is asking “Amiss”.  Jesus prayed for the Benefit of Others, Never for Pleasure for himself.


Amiss - Wrong, improper, or faulty, particularly in the context of actions, prayers 

    or speech.  It can also refer to something being out of order or incorrect.


Pleasure - The state or feeling of being Pleased.  Pleasure is “Friendship With the 

                 World”.  To be Friends with the World, “is to be an enemy of God’s”.


What Pleases You, “The Word or the World”?  

To enjoy Pleasure and to Enjoy Loving Your Neighbor are Totally Opposite!


Enjoying the Kingdom that God has Prepared for us and Enjoying Pleasure are not the same.  Enjoying the Kingdom is “Doing Love”.  Doing Love is “Benefitting Others” and not self.  Pleasure benefits self and not others.  To enjoy Pleasure and to Enjoy Loving Your Neighbor, both “Requires Resources Given To Us, By God”; to be used “For Us And For Others”.


To Enjoy Pleasure, would at first glance, seem innocent; but to look into Pleasure and God’s Will, we see the problem with Pleasure.  We cannot Love our Neighbor, when Seeking Pleasure is paramount in our life, “especially when we spend Precious Prayer Time”, praying for “Self”, short for Selfish.


When Jesus said, I Will Give You The Desires of Your Heart/Mind;

It was a Given, for the Kingdom Citizen, that their Desires are For God’s Will.


The more a Kingdom Citizen “Matures”; the “Clearer”, they can see the Wisdom in Prayers that “Are Not Amiss”.  Greed leads to Amiss Prayers, along with selfishness and inconsideration for others.  Pleasure is not “Happiness”!


God commands us to Seek Him, Not Pleasure; Then, We’ll Be Happy!

Your Red Sea.

Clutter!

                                                                              Clutter!   The Demon of “Clutter”?   A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away.  (Ecc. 3:6) The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature.   (Luke 8:14) There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches “kept” for the owners thereof to their hurt.  (Ecc. 5:13)   It Is Better to “Give than to Receive”; “Giving Prevents Clutter & Hoarding”.   Clutter and hoarding prevent Order. In the absence of Order, there will be  “Disorder”. Clutter and hoarding will lead to Disorder, they can be physical...

Please God.

                                                                                                 Please God. The Most Important Thing is to “Please God”? Therefore, we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in this body we are away from the Lord.  “For we Live by Faith, not by Sight”.  We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.  “So we Make it our Goal to Please Him”, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.    (2 Corinthians 5:6-8) Good Things Happen to those who Please God, plus, They Are Not Judged. How To Please Good? And without “Faith”, it is impossible to “Please God”, because a...
