Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.     (Ephesians 4:32)   Compassion!   In our Daily Nugget Paul was giving the Ephesians instructions on Christian Living.  Here Paul is telling them and us that we should, as New Creatures, be compassionate one to another.   Compassion – Sympathetic consciousness of others distress “together” with a “desire” to alleviate it.   When Jesus commands us to “Love One Another”, He is commanding us to care for each other, to make sure each person is all right, mentally and physically.  If the “spirit of selfishness” dwells in a person, that person will not be compassionate.  Selfish people cannot Love; all of their compassion is used up on them.   Jesus said,  what good is there in us saying to someone who is cold and hungry, “to be warm and filled” if we do not “give them” what will warm them and fill them.   Feelings “do not” ...

  Commit (Trust) to The Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.     (Proverbs 16:3)   Through Trusting,  “I Can Do All Things”!    God Loves us, his creation, and  would never leave us “helpless” to fin for ourselves; nor would we to our children,  our creation.   Our Daily Nugget is telling us that:  If we would trust our “actions” and our “transactions” to The Lord, that our “imaginations”, our “ways of handling situations” will be erect, correct and prospers.   Whenever we are “Not Trusting” our works to The Lord, we automatically default to trusting Our Works to our “Self”. Self does not possess the ability to deliver.   Trusting God is Living by Faith. Trusting Self is Living by Sight. Trusting Self is Sin. Kingdom Citizens “Live” by “Faith”, not by “Sight”!   Kingdom Citizens, Living By Faith, is one of the most powerful witnesses that we can show to The World.  Just imagine, Kingdom Ci...

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant (a desire) to the eyes, and a tree to be “desired” to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.         (Genesis 3:6) For God is working in you, giving you the “desire” and the "power" to do what pleases Him. (Philippians 2:13) Desire!  Understand “Desire”.   Desire:    To demand, to command, to long for, to ask for; from The Spirit World.                    The spirit world will deliver; it starts to deliver at the start of our desire.                May be used in a “good” or “bad” sense.                Our desires are “spiritual activity”.         ...

  All a person’s ways seem pure to them, but “motives” are weighed by The Lord. (Proverbs 16:2)   Motives!   “Why” Did You Do It?    Two people can do the same deed: One person’s deed is acceptable by God; the other person’s deed is not acceptable by God;  “Motives” made the difference.   Motive – A “reason” for doing something.       Especially one that is hidden or not obvious.   God definitely knows why I did it. I may or may not know why I did it. You definitely do not know why I did it.   The Bible says that motives are formed where bone and marrow meet.  We cannot see this place in each other, only God can.  Therefore, it is wisdom to always understand that we can “see” what each other do, but we can not know why.  We just treat each other the way we would want to be treated.   Trust Everybody Until They Tell You Not To! When they tell you not to, don’t. Trust God to prote...

The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience.     And God is faithful.     He will not allow the temptations to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you “a way out” so that you can endure.   (1 Corinthians 10:13)   A Way Out!   The Holy Spirit Will Show Us “A Way Out”!   Holiness is “Always” Available! Yield Not To Temptation, For Yielding Is Sin; Wait on The Lord!   In Our Daily Nugget Paul is giving the Corinthians and us, “A Warning from Israel’s History” of how God dwelt with their ancestors whom He saved and what happened when they turned back when they were tempted in fear.   Knowing that God “Will Not” allow me to be tested “above” my ability to endure, gives me the “Faith” that My Deliverer Is Coming and I’m Gonna Just Hang In There,  even unto death.   Never “Focus” on the temptation, “Focus” on “The Way Out”, that God promised! Don’t become fearful that you c...

For our struggle is not against “flesh” and “blood” (people), but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm (the demonic spirits).     (Ephesians 6:12)     If I Can “See It”, It’s “Not” My Enemy!   The Spiritual War! We don’t talk much about the Spirit World, but we should.   Consider that you are in a physical fight with an invisible man. You would have to develop a “different strategy” to fight an invisible man,   than the strategy you would use to fight a visible man. The Strategy “To Fight Demons” Are in Chapter Six of Ephesians.   Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that we are not fighting people, we are fighting the demonic spirit (s) that are controlling the individual’s “Thinking Process”.  This understanding should lead us to act and react to that individual with piety and prayer because we know that the demons are contr...

  If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity. (Isaiah 58:9) Stop causing trouble and putting burdens on people.  Stop saying things to hurt people or accusing them of things they didn’t do.  (Isaiah 58:9)   Put Away The "Pointing" Of The Finger!   In this area of scripture,  Isaiah was telling the people that their service and worship to God was not honored by God, because their Minds (Heart) were not fixed on Love but Self.  They were not Loving Their Neighbors As They Loved Themselves.   In our society today, “Pointing Fingers” seems to be a National Pastime.  God is not pleased with us Kingdom People when we join the World in Finger Pointing!  We all need to do better, but if you know a politician, please send this to them quickly.   Nobody Have Room To Point The Finger At Anybody! Even our “best efforts” are like “Filthy Rags” before a “Holy Go...
