Hidden With In: People think it is the outer, a showing of being born again But actually it is hidden with in where the journey begins.
First we must acknowledge that we can not do it alone and That we have sinned against God and ask Him to forgive us And to come into our life and a new beginning starts right Then and there. Some how the grass is greener, the sky is bluer, the flowers Seem more alive and so much more beautiful and smell ever So good and things that we use to do we find that we no Longer want to do them!
Suddenly our world is turned upside down, turn completely Around and even some of our friends no longer are our Friends and things we attach our self is slowing detaching From us. We all have our sins we have to make right and turn things Around and let go.
So the next step is what do you do next? Get into a Church That is founded in the word of God. Begin to read the word Of God for your self everyone always says to start in the Four Gospels. What is that ? The books called: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Do you have to do them In order? No… You could start with John, then Mark, Then Luke and then Matthew. These are the books that Well sort of give the foundation, learning tools to really Get to know about Jesus.
It is also important to testify what is that well it standing up And saying what God has done for you! It is important to Do so for in so doing you , me, and everyone is an over Coming!
You see we have to clean the inside before the out side for You find it is a personal walk with God. Much prayer and What is that? Prayer is a conversation between you and God You will find that He is your best friend and it may seem That everyone else in your life is walking out but He is the Very one who will walk in and stay. He is for you and not Against you and when there is a time you feel like you should Not be doing something that will be Him letting you not to do It so don’t do it when ever you feel that.
As you begin to grow in God you will get hungry for more of The word of God keep right on in His word listen to people Who have knowledge that will also help you further in your Walk and believe me there are a lot of good nuggets to grab And keep in your heart. The more you read the know He can Become enlightened to you and ask Him to show Himself to you Ask Him to open His word up to you that you can understand We can read the word of God all day long in our selves, the old Man, carnality but the word of God is so much more. It is your life, it is a tool, it is your road map, it has answers that no one else can give you. The word of God will help you to even get to Know Him more and more.
Now I am not gonna tell you that it is easy going against the currant But it is not and many changes will come and many people will come And go in your life but remember that God is molding and guiding Each and every one of us.
This is an every day walk, which will take determination and the Word of God to do each and every day. We all are flesh and we are All gonna have problems, troubles, disappointments, and also Remember there is an enemy that is completely against us rather Or not we serve God.
See God gives us a choice, a free will but Satan is like a viper sucking The very life right out of us and does not give you a choice. In fact he Hates each and everyone of us and when we ask Jesus to come into our Lives we remind Satan of someone who once kicked his butt! Satan’s Goal is to hurt God and take as many people away from God that he can And those who stand for Jesus, Satan fights each and every day in some Form or other.
Believe me when I that Satan is very good at his job and why shouldn’t he Be after all he has had more experience than you and me put together! But He will never cross the blood line and as long as we stay in Jesus we are Covered.
We start out knowing really nothing yet we thought that we knew it all how Funny is that? Then there are some of us who do things our own way and we Mess up big time but yet we do want to do it all our own way but we all have Learn to walk and live the word and learn to do as He says.
You see it is a good thing if you are taught about God and learn His word as a Child but there are some who aren’t! And those adults usually feel like they Have to play catch up but that is not true, God meets you right where you are.
It takes the word of God to clean one up and anyone can tell you all the do’s And don’ts all they want to but until you personally get into the word of God And find out for your self and go step by step with God and do not lean unto your own understanding , you see, it is a personal relationship with God.
Okay, let’s talk about the Ten Commandments found in Exodus, yes that would Be in the in what is known as The Old Testament. Chapter 20 and starting in verse 3: Thou shalt have no other Gods before me Thou shalt not make unto the graven image Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them or serve them Thou shalt not take the name of Lord thy God in vain Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord Honor thy Father and thy Mother Thou shalt not kill Thou shalt not commit adultery Thou shalt not steal Thou shalt not bear false witness Thou shalt not coveant thy neighbors house
Tell me, have you kept all these commandments? You see These were given for a law to go by but we needed something More! In The New Testament of John Chapter 14 verse 21 Jesus says: John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
You will find in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 28 it deals With Blessings and Curses for obedience and disobedience From verse 1 to verse 14 it is all about blessings for obedience And from verse 15 on it is all about curses for disobeience and I am here to tell you that I want the blessings of God and not the Curses and I am sure you do to.
Hey let’s look at just a few of them each:
BLESSING: Bless shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. Bless shalt thou be when thou comest in, and bless shalt thou be when thou goest out.
Curses: But if you won’t hearken cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field. Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
I encourage you to read this whole chapter.
In the old testament they use to sacrifice sheep that were unspotted for the sins of all the People but in the new testament Jesus is the sheep that is unspotted sacrificed for all The middle man between God and Man. When I say man I mean everyone. Jesus full filled the Law and He also gave a new commandment, that we love one another.
There are many different doctrines and teachings and all I am saying is stay in the word and Ask God to open His word to you and help you understand and believe me He will. Though we Do need doctrine and we do need teaching.
When I was but a child my parents encouraged me to get into the word of God for myself and Not to take man’s word for it and so that is what I did, now but when I was a kid they use to Preach that Adam was tilling the garden and that Eve was in the garden alone with the serpent But when I began to read it for myself this is what I found. Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, and that it [was] pleasant 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. My point? Adam was not out working in the garden as they preach and when I read that I went to My Mom and Dad and them that preachers are liars! I read this to my parents and after bring this To their attention I don’t remember it being preach like that again. There was another time I read in the Bible that you have you call no man on earth Father For you have one Father and He is in Heaven okay here it is out of the word of God: Mat 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Now when I read that I went straight to my parents and told my Dad that I could not call him Father and I read this verse to him and of course my Dad and Mom tried to explain to me that we have a Heavenly Father and an Earthly Father but I was not having that after this scripture so my Dad that, that was Alright that I could just call him Dad!
As a child I took the word of God for what it says and as an adult I do the same thing I feel that is how we Are suppose to do. Ya know people use to say to me, oh don’t ask God questions and so my question Was to them, if I don’t ask God how will I ever know? I never did get and answer so you see we should Ask Our Father who is in Heaven after all He is the one who created everything and He is the one with The plan.
John 10:10 says this: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. The thief is Satan, and he wants to steal from you, he wants to kill and destroy you, But looky here, Jesus came that we might have life and that we might have it more Abundantly. You see there was a war in Heaven. You could say that Lucifer got the big head, he thought he was gonna be bigger than God, he thought he knew more than God, he said that he was gonna put his throne higher Than God’s but when it was all said and done Jesus saw Lucifer falling out of Heaven As lightening and guess what Lucifer took a third of the angels with him! Talk about Being hurt… Please tell me what you think......
