Sexual Desires

Sexual desires

Many people suffer with the sexual effects of the body, haven been programmed by Satan’s worldly ways of thinking this has been trouble for many people for it is written, “ such shall have trouble in the flesh.” 1st Corinthians 7:28

Through the Word of God we can find comfort and direction concerning the thing, which many of us call natural behavior.

Is it natural for people to act like animals during mating season; is it natural for two adults or two children to indulge is sexual behavior not being married one to another?

The Bible says, “The body is not for fornication but for the Lord and the Lord for the body.” 1st Corinthians 6:13

But the Bible let’s us know that it was predicted that this problem would increase after each generation for it is written, “In the last days perilous times shall come, men will become lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.” 2nd Timothy 3: 1-4

To avoid the wide spreading effects of Satan’s way of thinking, “ we are to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God, which is our reasonable service.” Romans 12:1

If we began wanting to have sex out of wedlock and become too curious about sex then we are to get married because sex is only permitted to the married for it is written,
“In marriage all is honorable and the bedroom is undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” Hebrews 13:4

It is not God’s desire that every man or woman is to be married for it is written, “to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they stay single but if they cannot contain their sexual desires let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn.” 1st Corinthians 7:8-9

And again, “It is good for a man not to touch a woman. nevertheless to avoid fornication let every man have his own wife and let every woman have her own husband. Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence and likewise also the wife unto the husband.” 1st Corinthians 7: 1-3

It was never intended for people to look upon one another as sex objects this was inputted by Satan’s worldly way of thinking, for Jesus says, “ who so ever looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.” Matthew 5:28

From the time we were born Satan has been programming us through the television, family members, classmates, co-workers, religious organization, and so much more.

The word sex or the word sexy is not in the Bible, yet there are magazines and contest for the sexiest people alive.

What does the word sexy mean? If the word sex means to indulge in intercourse with someone does the word sexy mean that it is a person who you would like to have intercourse with?

We are not slaves to our flesh bodies for it is written, “ let not sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in the lust there of, neither yield your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin.” Romans 6:12-13

We are not to indulge in acts of sexual behavior while unmarried no matter what they say is accepted in this world for it is written, “ abstain from fornication, you should know how to possess your vessel in sanctification and honor.” 1st Thessalonians 4:3-4

We all belong to God and having sex out of wedlock is not the way of God for it is written, “ know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ, shall you then take the members of Christ and make them the members of an harlot? 1st Corinthians 6:15

Ladies you are jeopardizing your souls when you are sleeping with these men.

Gentle men you are jeopardizing your souls when you are sleeping with these ladies.

For it is written, “ know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived no fornicators shall inherit the kingdom of God.” 1st Corinthians 6:9-10

So the next time you find yourself being stimulated by your sexual desirers I suggest that you remember what the apostle Paul said, “ I keep under my body and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

Wake up people, from the deception of Satan, break the cycle of letting your flesh rule.

Until next time I love you,

Born into Bondage

We all have been born into a world whose system was designed to keep people operating in fear.

God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2nd Timothy 1:7

The system of this world is ran by the devil, Lucifer himself, for it is written, “ the prince of this world comes, and hath nothing in me” Said Jesus. St. John 14:30

And a again, “ Judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.” St. John 16:11

And again, “ But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” 2nd Corinthians 4: 3-4

Jesus Himself refers to Satan as the prince/god of this world and a world governed by Satan is a world that is meant for bondage.

From the time we are born we were taught to live in fear, to concern ourselves with things like, what to eat, to drink, to wear, how long would we live, taught to chase after earthly riches like a large house, boats, cars, jewels, and so much more.

But through the Word of God we can escape the bondage of this world’s system.

The Bible teaches us how to live free of the system of Satan, for it is written, “ that we are to be in the world but not of the world.”

Conform not to the world but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Romans 12:2

Why is there a need to renew our minds? Because Satan programmed our minds from the time we were born into his system.

This system of his can be compared to the system of a popular science fiction movie named the Matrix. This movie was written by Andy and Lana Wachowski and showed that most of the world was living in a dream state of mind, trapped in a system unknowingly.

In this movie only a very few people were aware of the difference and dedicated their lives to waking up others that were still trapped in the system called the Matrix.

Jesus Christ came into the world to free us from the system of the devil for it is written, “ Love not the world neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will of God abides forever. 1st John 2:15-17

Satan’s system teaches us to trust in things that have no real value, to be in bondage to things that will pass away.
Jesus frees us from this way of thinking for it is written, “ take no thought for tomorrow for tomorrow will take thought of itself.” Matthew 6:34

Do not say to yourself, what will I eat or what will I drink or how will I be clothed? For your Father in heaven knows what you have need of before you even ask for it. Matthew 6:31-32

Jesus frees us from thinking like those who are still deceived by the system of Satan by teaches us to seek first the kingdom of God and placing all our worldly concerns on God the Father to provide for us. Matthew 6:33

Jesus came into the world and lived free of the system of Satan. He was not in bondage, stressed over a piece of land or a house. He was not in bondage to a corrupt system that allowed some to gain and others to suffer loss. He was not in bondage to time, worried about retirement or not getting to accomplish some worldly goal before passing through this world. He knew that this world system was not of God and therefore would pass away.

He was not in bondage to the government for it is written, “ Whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute (taxes) of their own children, or of strangers? And Peter answered Him, of strangers. Jesus said, then are the children free.” Matthew 17: 25-27

Jesus also pointed out a clear difference between God and the system of Satan when He made the statement about the government of this world, for it is written, “ render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s.” Matthew 22:21

The system of this world teaches us that cash is king, but Jesus said, “ you cannot serve two masters: either you will hate the one, and love the other; or else you will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. St. Luke 16:13

Jesus teaches us to not trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. 1st Timothy 6:17

Satan attempted to use his system on Jesus while He was in the desert fasting.

First he tried the lust of the flesh technique asking Jesus to obey His own hungry flesh, but Jesus used the Word of God against Satan saying, “ man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4

Secondly he tried the pride of life technique telling Jesus to prove Himself by showing off His Godly power and having His angels catch Him in mid air. Jesus used the Word again saying, “ Thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God.” Matthew 4:7

The third and final technique that Satan used was the lust of the eyes, showing Jesus all of the world’s wealth and offered it to Him if He would worship him and commit to his system, but Jesus shows us how to defeat this world’s system with the Word of God once again when He says, “ Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shall worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shall thou serve.” Matthew 4:10

God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever would believe in Jesus would be set free of the bondage of this world’s system. St. John 3:16

If any of mankind be in Christ Jesus the old ways of this world’s system are past away and behold all things become new. 2nd Corinthians 5:17

We are to put off the old man, which was programmed by Satan and put on the new man, which has been set free through the word of Jesus Christ. Colossians 3:9-10

I like the way Paul said It, “ I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39

We are truly free from the bondage of this world’s system when we come to the understanding that nothing in this world is worth losing our souls over.

Focus on storing up treasures in heaven and not here on earth. Covet after nothing or no one in this world.

We were born into bondage but there is Freedom for us all through Jesus Christ.

Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior today!

Learn of His ways and be free.

Until next time, I love you,

The wisdom of this world is foolishness

The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. 1st Corinthians 3:19

There is a way that seems right unto a man, but the end result is death. Proverbs 14:12

Many of us were raised to believe that true wisdom comes from attending the world’s higher learning institutions.

We were told that if we study the teachings of this world’s greatest minds, that we too would be very wise.

That if we would obtain a degree in the understandings of what others believe on how to prosper in this world, we would have gained something of great value.

An education does have a value, but with all your getting, get an understanding. Proverbs 4:7

Get the understanding of Jesus Christ, for without the wisdom of Jesus Christ, what will the other profit you?

According to the Word of God, there are two types of wisdom, a wisdom that is taught by man and another that is taught by the Spirit of God.

Learning the wisdom of men can only benefit us in one-way, how to operate and understand a worldly system throughout our earthly lives.

The wisdom of God can benefit us in so much more, we can learn to live free from the worldly system and gain eternal life.

The wisdom that is taught by man is available to all that attends the world’s educational system, but the wisdom of God can only be obtain through faith in Jesus Christ and by whom the Spirit of God will reveal it to.

Many educated men have tried to obtain the wisdom of God by studying His Holy Bible, but have not obtained it’s understanding.

For Jesus said, ” I thank you Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes.” Matthew 11:25

And again that seeing they may not see and hearing, they may not understand (comprehend). Luke 8:10

We live in a world that operates by man’s wisdom, the wisdom of the five senses sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell.

For if one of these senses cannot be proven then it is not true according to man’s knowledge.

For it is written, “ we have received not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1st Corinthians 2:12-14

You see two types of wisdom, each opposing the other.

Which of them will you believe?

Man’s wisdom works at disproving the wisdom of God and has not been able to disprove it.

But the wisdom of God has not only proven itself, but has also made a mockery of man’s wisdom by performing things that they cannot explain nor find out how they were done.

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Have not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 1st Corinthians 1:19-21

Don’t we understand that all of our worldly wisdom of medicine, aerodynamics, science, philosophy, technology, and so much more, will not save us come the Day of Judgment?

There are two types of wisdom in this world, one is described as,” earthly, sensual, devilish, for it is said, “ that this wisdom descended not from above (Heaven). James 3:15

The second is described as, “ But the wisdom that 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.” James 3:17

So while you are pursuing your PHD make sure you get your JC (Jesus Christ) that you may receive the true benefit of wisdom, which is eternal life.

Until next time I love you,

Will a hypocrite Christian ever see Heaven?

Will a hypocrite Christian ever see Heaven?

There are many kinds of hypocrites in the world, but those who call themselves Christian are playing a very dangerous game.

The Bibles says, it would have been better for a person to not have known the ways of righteousness, than, after they have known God’s word, to turn from God’s ways and to go back into the ways of the world. 2nd Peter 2:21

For unto who so ever much is given, of him shall be much required Luke 12:48

There are many that say they serve God but live their lives contrary to His ways.

Many of these people believing themselves to be victorious because of their association with a financially prospering religious organization.

It seems to them that God is with their religious organization in spite of the actions of the people.

The book of Job disagrees with these people, as it reads;

“ That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
Though his excellence mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds:
Yet he shall perish forever like his own dung (waste): they which have seen him shall say, where is he?
He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.” JOB chapter 20:5-8

God takes no pleasure in those of us who honor Him with our lips but our actions dishonor Him. Matthew 15:8

Some might believe that because they have one of the largest ministries in the world, that God does not see what their inner heart is full of (greed).

Just as the Pharisees of the Bible believed themselves to have it right and John the Baptist to be wrong because John lived in the desert with no building to preach from but they preached from the most beautiful buildings in Jerusalem.


The Bible says, “ For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God takes away his soul? JOB chapter 27:8

There are many people prospering from falsely teaching the words of God.

There are many people following the false teachings of God.

There are many people living their lives as hypocrites, believing that one-day they will have eternal life.

These people are fooling themselves, as it is written in the book of James Chapter 1 verses 22-25 as it reads:

“ But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: (mirror)
For he behold himself, and goes his way, and straightway forgets what manner of man he was.
But who so looks into the perfect law of liberty (The Holy Bible) and continue therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Those of us who call ourselves servants of God, those of us who are referred too as Christians need to understand that this is not a game!

Some might believe that they can continue going out night after night participating in sin without God judging them.

Some might believe that God will overlook their disobedience as they continue to commit adultery and fornication (having sex outside of wedlock).

Some might believe that God will not hold them accountable for worshiping material things and chasing after wealth.

Some might believe that God places them higher than anyone else because they have a title; pastor, deacon, usher, choir member, nurse, or whatever position in the church.

But with all our getting, we are to get, understanding! Proverbs 4:7

God has no respect of persons we all are expected to live according to the Word of God! Proverbs 28:21 Romans 2:11

The Bible says, “ If a righteous man does that which is wicked he shall die in his sin.”
“If a wicked man does that which is righteous he shall save his soul alive.”
Ezekiel 18:24-29

Jesus cried out against those who represented the Word of God falsely, calling them hypocrites. Matthew 23:13-39

Let us read how Jesus describes these religious leaders;

Woe unto you scribes and Pharisee, hypocrites! For you are like unto white sepulchers (tomb or grave), which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead man’s bones, and of all uncleanness.” Matthew 23:27

Please don’t have Jesus see you as He saw the religious people of that time.

Stop playing church and develop a personal relationship with God.

Stop following men and start following God, through the guidance of the Word of God and His Holy Spirit.

Until next time

I Love you,

A famine and recession proof God

The world today speaks of hard times.

Many have said it is the worst recession of all times.

The pastors and priest give false hope to the people, preaching a God of worldly prosperity.

This teaches people to focus on material things as the answer to their problems, when

The real truth is that a true servant of God walks through life recession proof.

No material or earthly thing has an effect on them for it is written, “ no man can serve two masters.” Matthew 6:24

For Jesus the Messiah once said, “ take no thought for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment (clothing)?”

These are the concerns of one who does not know God.

The true recession is the lack of real Bible teaching!

The doctrines that are preached cause people to enter in to bondage for it is written, “ Behold the days come said the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord: and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.” Amos 7:11-12

God never trained His children to depend on the world neither the things in the world.

God is our provider and all those who do not trust in Him are not His; for it is written, “ Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

And the world will pass away, and the lust there of: but he that do the will of God abide forever.” 1^st John 2:15-17

Tuff times will come in this world God never said that they would not.

But it is written, “ I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaking, nor his seed begging bread.” Psalm 37:25

And again, “ there has no temptation taken you but such is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it.” 1^ST Corinthians 10: 13

The truth of the matter is those who truly believe in God and believe that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him are free from any mental bondage connected to earthly concerns. Hebrews 11:6

For the Word will make you free!

As it is written, “ If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:31-32

God never intended for us to depend on earthly things for it is written, “ man shall not live by bread alone but by every word of God.” Luke 4:4

When the Word of God is written in your heart and in your mind then the Spirit of God is living inside of you.

There is no longer any fear in you, no longer worry about everyday life for it is written, “ Therefore take no thought, saying, what shall we eat? Or what shall we drink or where withal shall we be clothed? For all these things do the Gentiles (people who know not God) seek: for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.

But seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Take therefore no thought for tomorrow: for tomorrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” Matthew 6:31-34

Moses and the children of Israel prayed to God to come out of slavery and God brought the out.

The disciples went out to preach but did not take any worldly things like money as a security blanket and they did not lack anything.

Jesus walked the entire countryside without concerning himself with the economy and was not ever hungry or thirsty or without shelter.

The birds of the air they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly feed them. Are you not worth much more than a bird to God? Matthew 6:26

A true believer in Jesus has been set free from earthly concerns, whether there is a recession or not it will not effect the way a servant of Christ lives their lives.

Wake up people!

A Recession?

Take you mind off of what you see happening in your life and focus on what the Word of God says about you.

God said, “ I will never leave you or forsake you.”

God said, “ You are His child and heirs to the throne with Christ.”

God said, “ No weapon formed against you shall prosper.”

God said, “ If you keep His commandments you will abide in His love.”

Do you believe Him?

I pray that you do.

Walk by faith in God’s word not by sight in the material things of the pastors and priest.

God bless you

Until next time

Sorry! is not repentance.

Sorry is not Repentance

Many people make the mistake of thinking that sorry is repentance.

You can be sorry for something and end up doing it again, but you cannot truly repent for something and start indulging again.

Repentance is the changing of the heart.

Seeing and acknowledging the wrong in what it is that you are doing.

Making a conscious decision to no longer participate in the thing that you are doing.

John the Baptist started the preaching of repentance, when he was sent by God to prepare the way for the coming of Jesus the Christ. Matthew 3:1-2

John preached that the old ways of the Law of Moses had ran it’s course and that the customs in which sins were forgiven would be no more. Matthew 3:7-12

No longer would God accept a person saying that they were sorry and giving an offering for their sin.

A man would now be expected to change himself on the inside and could no longer hide his sin behind the word sorry and an animal blood sacrifice. Hebrews 9:13-14

The Bible says that the Law was given to the world as a schoolmaster, it was never meant to be in place forever, only until the coming of the Messiah (Jesus). Galatians 3:23-25

The Law was meant to keep things in order until Jesus came to teach people to have order from the inside out through repentance and the Holy Spirit. Luke 16:16

Notice that as Jesus healed people, that He told each of them to, “go and sin no more.”

Notice that true repentance brings about a change of heart toward the sin in which one has committed.

For it is written, “ be not conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what is that good and acceptable, and perfect will of God.” Roman 12:1-2

And again it is said. “ Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 2:5

Mary Magdalene had sold her body for money, prior to meeting Jesus Christ. Luke 8:2

Once accepting the good news of the gospel, how that repentance was offered unto the most sinful people on earth Mary accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. Matthew 9:13

Jesus said to her, “your sins are forgiven you, go and sin no more.”

Now, did Jesus mean that she would not sin at all any more? Or was she to make the change in her heart that selling her body was wrong and that she could now see that there would never be any reason for justifying that particular sin anymore?

True repentance is performed on a case-by-case basis?

How can one repent for something they have not done?

How can I have a change of heart concerning drinking when I do not drink?

Why would there be a reason for you to repentance of a sin that you are not guilty of committing?

The answer is, you would not have to repent for something you did not do.

Which is why most people do not repent because they do not see anything wrong with what they are doing.

If a person was raised in a family where the father worked all the time, paid all the bills, stayed out drinking, sleeping with other women and the mother would not say anything about it.

That person while repeating the sins of his father would not know or think there was a need for repentance, seeing how in his own eyes this behavior was not wrong.

Repentance can only come by the Word of God.

Through the hearing or reading of the Word of God a person will begin to see what is right or wrong. Roman 10:17

Upon the revelation of their sin they will begin to feel very sorrowful and because of this feeling, want to change their life, looking never to repeat that sin anymore.

Repentance is truly a gift from God and can only be received by those who are called by God. Matthew 20:16

The rich man was given a chance to repent and did not.

King Herod was given a chance to repent and did not.

The religious leaders of John’s time were given a chance to repent and did not.

The people of Sodom & Gomorrah were given a chance to repent and did not.

Will you repent of the sins in which you commit? I pray that you will.

God bless until next time

Is money the Answer?

Is money the Answer?

Many people believe that money is the key to life.

From the time that we are born many are told that this should be their goal in life.

Perform well in school so that you can obtain a job so that you can get wealth.

Work hard so that you can be promoted to a higher position and increase in wealth.

Get wealth and you will get everything else, wife, children, houses, cars, boats, respect, power, the list goes on and on.

Everywhere we turn it is projected that obtaining money is what life is all about.

But money is not the key to life, for those who trust that it is are foolish.

Money cannot save you from death, it will not make you a better person, will not protect you from disease or disaster, will not stop your children from being hooked on drugs or alcohol, and will not stop your plane from being high jacked by terrorist.

It is written in the book of 1^st Timothy chapter 6 verse 17, “ Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God.”

Money cannot save you from death for if it could we would still see people like Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Johnny Carson, Walter Payton, Princess Diana living today for they were very wealth.

But the truth is that only Jesus can save you from death, for it is written, “ Take heed and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consist not in the abundance of the things which he possesses.” Luke 12:15

Jesus constantly warns us not to chase after money, he tells a parable of a rich man who had done very well is business and this man spent most of his life to obtain his goal. So he had expanded his storage facilities to store his great wealth, looking to retire and live a wonderful worldly life, but when he was ready to do this God called him home, his life was over before he could spent it. Luke 12: 16-20

Another story Jesus tells us is the story of a rich man and a poor who both passed away.

Jesus says that the poor man was carried away by angels to paradise, but the rich man was buried and ended up in hell. Luke 16:22-23

As we can see that money does not stop us from dying!

Jesus says, “ No servant can serve to masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (wealth). Luke 16:13

We were not put here on earth to chase after money for it is written, “ Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they (the birds)?” Matthew 6:26

And again Jesus tells us, “ Therefore take no thought, saying, what shall we eat? Or what shall we drink? Or, wherewithal shall we be clothed?

For after all these things do the Gentiles (people who know not God) seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Take therefore no thought for tomorrow for tomorrow shall take thought for the things of itself.” Matthew 6:31-34

People that do not truly know God are those who are overly concern about money.

You cannot serve in the Army of Jesus and chase money for it is written, “ No man that warreth (goes to war for God) entangles himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who has chosen him to be a soldier.” 2^nd Timothy 2:4

Matthew 6:19-21 Jesus says

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust do corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust do corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

But there are many of you that think that you can do both, think that your giving of your abundance will buy your way to heaven.

You are sadly mistaken! Jesus takes the time to tell us of a little old lady that gave more than many men that were rich. He tells us how she put only 2 small coins into the collection plate and God saw it to be worth more than the abundant amount that the money chasers put in. Mark 12:41-44

You cannot do both, chase money and serve God.

For it is written in the book of 1^st Timothy 6: 6-10, “ godliness with contentment is great gain.

For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”

Is money the answer?

No! Jesus is the answer.

God bless you and may He grant you wisdom.

Until next time
