I Can't; I Don't Own Me!

                                                           I Can’t; I Don’t Own Me!   This is “no longer” my body, I sold it to Jesus for Salvation!   Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ?  Shall I then take a member of Christ and make them members of a harlot?  Certainly not!  Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her?  For “the two”, He says, “shall become one flesh”.  But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him?   Flee sexual immorality.  Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. For you were bought at a price; therefore, “honor” God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.     (1 Corinthians 6:1...

Words of The "New Self"!

                                                         Words of “The New Self”!”   Our Words have “Creative Ability”! Our Words Should Be “Precious Gifts” To One Another.   Put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness (right living according to the Bible) and holiness (set apart from the World, peculiar). Let no “corrupting talk” come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.  Ephesians 4:24&29   Buildup – An accumulation or increase. Corrupt – Cause to act dishonesty. Grace – Giving a good thing to someone to build them up.   Before we accepted Jesus as our “Lord and Savior” our Words was based on the old self; “After” we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior our Words should be based on the “New...

Living Water!

                                                                     Living Water!   This “Living Water” is not H2O, it is the Holy Spirit “guiding” Our Living!   On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is ‘thirsty’ come to me and drink”.  Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, “rivers” of living water “will flow” from them.”  (John 7:37&38)   Thirsty – Having or showing a strong desire for something! We, Kingdom Citizens is to “thirst” after Righteousness (Right Living).    Our Daily Nugget  is a parable about how we, Kingdom Citizens should live among people who are thirsty (lost, without hope).  Jesus, himself is in Heaven; we are His arms, legs, and mouths. While He was on earth “R...

Life or Death - Blessings or Curses!

                                               Life or Death – Blessings or Curses!   This is the “Choice” that God gave His People ten thousand years ago; this is “Our Choice Today”.   Today I have given you a choice between life and death, between blessings and curses.  Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make.  Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!   (Deuteronomy 30:19)   The “Choice” we make is the “End Result of our Thinking”!   Solomon instructed us to  “Be Careful” “What” we “Think”; for through our thinking, we set the  boundaries of our life.  Our life today is the fruit of our thinking in our yesterdays.     God made us free and pure, since He created us, He has gone through a “Great Deal” to keep us free and pure, e...

Let the "Helper" "Help"!

And your “ears” shall hear a “word” behind you, say, ‘This is the way, walk in it,’ when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.     (Isaiah 30:21) If you love me, keep My commandments.  And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever-the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be with you.  I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.  (John 14:15-18)   Let The “Helper” “Help”!   The Helper is the Holy Spirit”! God gave us a Helper,  because He knew we could not make it in this foreign land, own our on! A sin-filled lifestyle “hinders” the Helper from Helping us.   Before Jesus’ death burial and resurrection,  the Holy Spirit “helped us” from the “outside of us”.  After the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, the Holy Spirit “now” dwells “i...

Contagious!

Bad temper is contagious – don’t get infected.     (Proverbs 22:25) You might learn their habits and not be able to change. (Proverbs 22:25).   Contagious!   Everything is Contagious! Love, hate, joy, depression, hope, despair, a smile, a frown,  an active spirit, a lazy spirit, laughter, arguing, greed, being liberal, getting, giving.    Never ever forget, “your ‘words’ and ‘attitudes’ are contagious”! They influence people for God’s Glory or for the world, the flesh, and the devil!   Contagious for Christ – This means that we will become so “infected” with the gospel and our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ that it would transmit the “Truth of Salvation” through Jesus Christ to those we encounter every day.  We will, without even trying spread the gospel to others.   If we are not contagious for Christ, we are contagious for the world; we transmit the “truth” of God’s Salvation or we transmit the “likes” of the wicked one. ...

Grace!

Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My Grace” is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.  (2 Corinthians 12:9-10)   Grace!    Grace!  That quality in God that produces free gifts for guilty sinners, “In Salvation”! Living a life of sin, ”Is Not In Salvation”; the gifts are for those “In Salvation”!   God’s Ways are “far above our ways”. We will never be able to “figure it out”, we must simply, “Trust and Obey”!   Freedom is what we have, “Preserve Your Freedom”. In Grace, we are “Guilty as a Dog”, but “Free as a Bird”, “In Christ”! Living a life of sin, “Is Not In Christ”; the gifts are for those “In Christ”!   There will be no one in heaven who did not get there due to God’s Grace!   We are free to “Love”, not free to sin as much as we like and still go to heaven when w...
