RECIPROCITY

Judge not or you will be judged: Jesus

One of the most difficult lessons I have learned is related to the law of sowing and reaping.  And if we sow to the positive we will reap the positive.  Sow to the negative and we will reap the negative.  Sow fair judgment, and we will be judged fairly. Our eastern friends call this Karma.  This is a fancy term for "What goes around comes around."


Sadly, I discovered what I thought was fair turned out not to be so.  How did I find out it was not so.  I got a taste of being judged unfairly, and this put me on my knees crying out to God.  And it cost me dearly. It is NO fun being in the middle of a spiritual warfare battle field.

Now I am not saying that this is all my fault.  Because it is not.  There is clear evil in the world, and if you stand for that which is good, you will be challenged.  So Sowing good can get you tested as well. 

All I am saying is it is best to stick to "fruit inspecting" where the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit are clearly contrasted and spelled out in Galatians 5:19-22.  And even then, if you absolutely have to respond, do so prayerfully and carefully in a spirit of love and grace.



I am just saying I am learning (Yes again :o) to abdicate the thrown of the critical spirit.  Please consider turning your judgments over for Holy Spiritual reflection before you make an injection or open your orifice with you verbal opinion of perfection.


At least that's my goal.  Why?  Because I want to be blessed 2day... Especially 2day. I want the same for you.

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

Image
   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

Image
  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
