Itching Ears.

                                                                          Itching Ears.


The Fruit of “Evil & Worldly Desires”.


Herald and preach the Word!  Keep your sense of urgency (stand by, be at hand and ready), whether the opportunity seems to be favorable or unfavorable.  (Whether it is convenient or inconvenient, whether it is welcome or unwelcome, you as preacher of the Word are to show people in what way their lives are wrong). And convince them, rebuking and correcting, warning and urging and encouraging them, being unflagging and inexhaustible in patience and teaching.  For the time is coming when (people) will not tolerate (endure) sound and wholesome instruction, but, having “ears itching” (for something pleasing and gratifying), they will gather to themselves “one teacher after another” to a considerable number, chosen to satisfy their own liking and to foster the errors they hold.  And will turn aside from hearing the truth and wander off into myths and man-made fictions (religions).  (2 Timothy 2:2-4) 


Itching Ears is the Fruit of a “Desire to Please Self”.


Itching Ears - A spiritual condition where people reject sound, challenging doctrine in favor of messages that make them “feel comfortable, entertained, or validated”.


Our Daily Nugget

is Paul instructing the younger Timothy how he is to “herald and preach” “The Word, The Bible”.  This message is also to each Kingdom Citizen; “we are to Represent Christ”, like Paul and Timothy.  It is also letting us know that people will hate us when we tell them where they are wrong according to the Bible.  But, we are to herald and to preach it anyway.  Religion nor Tradition is the Bible.


The Bible warns us to

“never correct a conceited person because they will hate you”.


Kingdom Citizens should have a “sense of urgency” in Ministering the Word.  We are not to be “comfortable nor lackadaisical”  in our efforts to get people to “turn from the darkness of wrong living” to the Light of Living By God’s Word, the Bible.  “Too Often” religion and tradition leads to Itching Ears.


Ask God to Deliver you ,All Day Today, from “Itching Ears” and 

Watch What Happens.

The Heart/Mind.

                                                                        The Heart/Mind. The Heart/Mind of Christ or the Heart/Mind of Satan?   Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be “likeminded”, “Having the Same Love”, “being of one accord, of one mind”.   “Let nothing be done” through “strife or vainglory”; but in “lowliness of mind (heart) let each esteem other better than themselves”.   Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.   “Let This Mind (Heart) Be In You”, “which was also in Christ Jesus”.   (Philippians 2:2-5) The Heart/Mind of Christ is “A Priceless Blessing”; Available to Us. Our Daily Nugget is Paul letting the Church at Philippi and us know that Kingdom Citizens should be “Of One Mind (Heart/Thinking)”.   Since we have One Lord, One ...

What?

                                                                                 What? “What we Think”, “Guides What we Do”. “Above All”, be Careful “What” You Think because your “Thoughts” control your life.   (Proverbs 4:23) We Can Think, “Anything” we want to Think. “What” We Think “Determines the Parameters of Our Life”.

Real Strength!

                                                                           Real Strength!   “Real Strength” is Humility - “Real Weakness” is Pride.. In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders.   All of you, clothe yourselves with “humility” toward one another, because   “God Opposes the proud” but Shows “Favor” to the Humble”.   “Humble yourselves”, therefore under God’s Mighty Hand, that He may lift you up in due time.   Cast all your anxiety on Hum “Because He Cares For You”. (1 Peter5:5&6) The Humbled Heart/Mind has God Fighting For Them;   “That’s Real Strength”, “That’s God’s Favor”! Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that “We All Need To Clothe Ourselves in Humility”, because; God opposes the Proud, and that God “Shows Favor to the ...
