TO BE OR NOT TO BE ???

It's tuff to not be ourselves when we face others in our daily walks through life. Many people are so proud of themselves because of all their accomplishments.We say that that is great. But are we missing something? we have an idea that we just know is perfect and will work great,and we just know that other people need it. Then when its not accepted we feel anger and pride swells up like a balloon inside our spirits.Then all of a sudden we do not see others as Jesus sees them. What happened to all the "I love you's"?  Now..they just disagree with us. Maybe they are lost souls, just going through the motions of life ,if it be in our churches,or business or hanging out together.The Bible says in Galatians chapter 5:vss 22 and 23 that "The fruit of the Spirit is love,joy,peace,longsuffering gentleness.goodness,faith, meekness,temperance,against such there is no law. The Bible also says that that the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,(Ephesians 5:verse 9)AND (Phillipians chapter 1:verse 11) in other words it's without defect.
James 3:17 says"But wisdom which is from above is first pure,then peaceable,gentle,and easy to be entreated,full of mercy and good fruits,without partiality,and without hypocrisy." So whats my point?
These Scriptures are for each one of us. To judge our ourselves and not  be busy about pointing fingers.When we see the faults of others and see none in ourselves i am reminded of the words of my Lord in Matthew chapter 1:vss 1 thru 5.This is referring to judging period. We must judge situations,and as Humans God knows we see the faults of others.There are ways to deal with issues,but we Must as Christians look first at ourselves,for we most likely are like these people or just as bad in other ways.Each time,before we deal with issues sensitive to others or ourselves,seek the words of Christ "Judge not,and you will not be judged;condemn not and you will not be condemned;forgive,and you will be forgiven".(Luke 6:37)again the very word of our Lord Jesus Christ. Ourself is the natural....and to see others as Christ sees them is the supernatural. I know most likely forgiveness is a one sided street. So at least you....make sure you forgive.In the end remember the Lord said they(whoever they are) will know we are His disciples if we love one another.Agree to disagree sometimes,but love one another.Christ sees and knows all my faults.Yet He continues to pour out His mercies on me every second and minute of the 24 hr day.This is not an easy task,because it's not natural. Help us Lord for we cannot do this on our own.(AMEN)so be it.

HE NEVER FORGETS.

You want become a saint by studying your Bible,you will become a saint by living it. That was a quote by the late great brother in Christ.....a man of the ages,never to be duplicated Powerful man of God.I can say much more about him but i will not in this blog. But i will add to his quote,"and this is from me....."Only studying your Bible will lead to living it".Tomorrow is Sunday, get up and attend Sunday School. In it you will find the backbone of your church.Only serious people that worship will usually attend regularly. This has been my observation. When was the last time you met someone who attended so much,you just knew they would be there? News Flash.....when you are not their, they miss you tremendously. When was the last time church members anguished over those that were not there? I can tell you,i never miss a Sunday that i anguish over those i wish were in my class. Regardless of why they missed. I am always excited about what God's word has for me in class. If i was looking for a church to attend,they must be a Bible believing,praying SundaySchool believing Church. Its hard to slip into Sunday School and slip out unnoticed.  SURPRISE....when you try that in church service, God sees you. And He's taking notes. He knows our hearts.
I pray all who read this will attend Sunday School tomorrow. God bless. My Prayer: Father,i pray for people to get serious about their commitment to Christ.He commits a lot of Promises to us,and He never forgets or decides to not fulfill them.

"I CAN'T GET NO SATISFACTION"

Jesus ask a woman of Samaria for a drink of water and the women told Him if he knew who he was asking for the water He would ask someone else. Well to be exact she was more direct than that. She flat out told Him she was a Samaritan and He (Jesus) being a Jew was not suppose to have any dealings with Samaritans. Jesus then very quickly told her that if she knew who was asking her and the gift of God,she would have ask Him and He would have given her living water. (John chapter 4:verses 7 thru 10.) In this world of ours do you think there are people who have never heard about this living water that if you drink of it,you shall never thirst again? Salvation is what Christ is offering here. Eternal water for your souls that will perfectly satisfy, which means you will need not seek for soul satisfaction ever again. Perhaps if the writers of the song "I can't get no satisfaction" knew about the gift of God Christ was speaking of here in the 10th verse of the book of John they would not have written the song. Millions and millions to this day chant the words of this song,why???  Because they can identify. Be born again (Romans 6:23). Jesus the Son of God,guarantees you that you will eternally be satisfied. This water will always be there for you to drink of. I know from personal experience. Come join us. My Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father,Draw all those that can't get satisfaction,to you,through your Holy Spirit. AMEN(SO BE IT).
