Pray or Prey?

                                                                          Pray or Prey?


Pray For your Neighbor or Prey On your Neighbor!


Then the righteous will answer Him, Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?  When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?  When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?  The King will reply, Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, “You Did It For Me”.  (Matthew 25:37-40)


Can you “Prove” that “you Love your neighbor as you Love yourself”?


The “Love of Money” will lead us to “Prey On Our Neighbors”; the “Love of God” will lead us to “Pray For Our Neighbors” and to “Provide For Them”.  This is Love.  “Wishing” that the hungry be fed and the thirsty have drink, and the stranger be welcomed, and the sick be cared for and those in prison be visited, “Is Not Love”.  “Doing” those things is Love and it is Doing For Jesus.  


What Have You Done For or To Jesus?


If Jesus were to “physically” be among us with anyone of these issues or needs; “I Strongly Suspect” that we would cancel all our schedule to find time to do for Jesus, we will give all our savings to provide for Jesus, we will go to the prison even if we have to take time off work, etc.  Would we do this because we expect Him to give us some more stuff or due to Love?  Jesus Knows.  Jesus is the one we see that are in need.  Jesus is expecting us to do for Him as He did for us; “He Gave His Life”, because He’s Our Friend.  Who are you A Friend To?


Let us Sincerely Examine our Heart/Mind to make sure we Love.


Praying for your neighbor will lead you to 

“do for” your neighbor, this is Obedience to God’s Command “To Love”.


If we are not praying for our neighbors we are a stone’s throw away from “doing to” our neighbors what we would not like to be done unto us.  Love is just and fair.  A Heart/Mind fixed on praying for our neighbors is proof that that heart/mind has been Thinking to Love that neighbor, which is a prerequisite to Loving, Doing.


Our Daily Nugget is a Call 

to Make Your Love Real; Pray for and not Prey on Your Neighbors.

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 ...

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 ...
