Blind

 

Opening your eyes of your heart and close your eyes to the flesh. For man seeks understand, and wisdom in this world, and you will have a hard time gripping to the truth of God's true reason for salvation.  

I Corinthians 3:19  For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Man in this world seeks for the power of knowledge, and the end results is destruction.

Proverbs 14:6 A scoffer seeks wisdom and finds none, But knowledge is easy to one who has understanding.

Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Matthew 15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

Better is one that is blind to the world and the cares of it, then a person with great wisdom in a evil world.

Isaiah 42:19 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD'S servant?

This is Jesus speaking, that if we look away from the tradition of the world we will find that Jesus is the answer to a better life on the earth, and the life to come with the Lord in Heaven.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  

John 9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.

II Peter 1:9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

A backslider will think that they are better off in their ways.

Proverbs 14:14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.

If you want to find the Lord, seek for him blind from the rudiments of the world, and you will find him at the door of your heart.  

Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

You can't service two gods

Luke 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

When Jesus was fasting and prayer in the wilderness, and came to the end of his fasting the devil came to him tempting him with the rudiments, and the cares of the world, and the riches, if Jesus would worship the devil, the devil would give it to him, and Jesus said' NO..     

Luke 4:5-8 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. 7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. 8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Enrich yourself with God's glory, and endless compassion, it will never fade away, Jesus will never leave you nor forsake you.  

Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

James 2:5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

Jeremiah 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.  

Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

Recruiting believers

Have you signed up for big trip to heaven? The Lord is looking for followers with a heart to assist in the army of the Lord. No need to have any experience in this field of work. You will be educated by the King of Glory.

Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Matthew 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

The beauty  of serving the King of Glory  is that you will be noticed.

Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Luke 8:16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.

Moses face was shining after being with God in the mountain 

Exodus 34:30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.

The Lord wants to bond with you, so that you will not be sorry, or feel  that you are wasting your time

I Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

II Chronicles 15:7 Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.

Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

We must be delivered from any sins that hinder us from following the King of Glory. You must be saved.

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Born again means to start your life without the bad, and evil, and lies, and the God haters.

Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

 

II Timothy 2:10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

Don't delay your opportunity to sign up for the life of Glory, because you will not have a second chance.

Romans 12:17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. 

Why is it hard for some people to receive the truth about salvation?

There are a countless number of enemies to salvation.  I want to address the Bible reasons for why people do not get saved.  Maybe you did not realize it, but salvation is not automatic.  Just because God wants you to be saved, does not mean you are saved.  If you read the Bible and study it very carefully you will discover that whatever God has freely given to man, man is required to do something to enjoy it.  So salvation is a partnership agreement between you and God.  God initiated salvation by His grace and you receive it by your faith.  I hope that you understand that concept because it is a spiritual law and is a pattern for how things work in the Bible from cover to cover.

Act 28:28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.

 Some people do not think they need a savior. These people consider themselves to be “basically good” and do not realize that they, like all people, are sinners who cannot come to God on their own terms. But Jesus said, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6). Those who reject Christ will not be able to stand before God and successfully plead their own case on their own merits.

James 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

The Gain of Salvation

 

Were do you find salvation? And once you find it, what do you do to keep it? Dear friend, lets talk about were salvation comes from. God’s infinite love for man God, created man in the imagine of him self. (Genesis 1:27) God instructed man to obey him (Genesis 2:17) But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. God’s warning of instruction had no choice on our behalf, But we failed by the lying words of the serpent (The Devil) Genesis 3:4,5) And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

 

 From that day forward that Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating of the forbidden tree of knowledge of good and evil. Sin entered into this world.

 

It was one that entered into this world (The Devil) to destroy our wonderful relationship with God, because of pride. We lost our truth with God. As the years pasted on. Sin got so bad in the world that it was like poison to God. (Genesis 6:5,6)    

And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

6: And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

 

God saved Noah and 7 others that were his family, and the world was flooded with the rain of God’s wrath from Heaven. God was tried of seeing sin so he saved the ones that were obedient onto him. (Genesis 6:8,9) But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
9: These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

 

Now we understand that sin is an enemy of God. What must we do to get saved? First, we must understand that we are born into this world as sinners and are short of the Glory of God. (Romans 3:23) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

 

Because of God infinite love this is what he did for us to have salvation. (John 3:16)                 

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

 

Through Jesus Christ he was going to save us from our sins (Matthews 1:21)

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

 

Does this mean that if we believe in Jesus that we will be saved, and continue in our daily sin we will go to heaven?  Wrong!! (Romans 6:1,2) What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2: God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

 

What did Jesus say unto us in order for us to make it into heaven?

(John 3:3) Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

 

Ok? What must we do to get born again?  There was a man by the name of Nicodemus that ask that question of Jesus. (John 3:4,5,6) Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5: Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6: That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7: Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

 

We must confess our sins to Jesus Christ for the remission of all of our sins and he will wash you in his precious blood. (Revelation 1:5)  And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

 

I Peter 1:19 & 23) 19: But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

23: Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever

 

If anyone wants to give there heart to the Lord. Please turn to your bible in Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

What makes us guilty of sin?

First of all, lets find out were the crime of sin originated from. It began when we disobeyed God. (Genesis 2:16,17) And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.  

We were not lead blind to sin against God; we just simply disobeyed God’s words. The most dangerous things in this world is access to temptation. Everyday our mind become like a microphone, and the devil is the voice speaking into that microphone trying to get you to record his message in your heart to temp you to do a crime against the word of God.

Lets take a look at what the word of God tells us were sin started its course to the death of man. (Genesis 3:1-5) Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2: And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4: And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

 At this point what I said earlier about the devil speaking into our microphone of our mind and recording it into our heart over writing the area of God’s obeying words caused Eve to sin against God. The Devil has a way of decorating, sugar coating, dressing things up, or sinful to look good, and ok to try.  Read Genesis 3:6    

 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.

After Adam and Eve eat the fruit they noticed that they were naked. Knowing that this didn’t feel right or look right they made themselves clothes. Then they hide themselves form the presents of the God knowing they are guilty of the crime of sin. Read Genesis 3:7,8

7: And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
8: And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.

The great sin of disobedience brought in the sin for the entire world for all mankind. St. John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

 The bible tells me that we must repent and be converted from the death of sin unto life with Christ, Jesus   Read Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; 

Lets remember that our good works are not going to get us into heaven, helping you’re fellow man in need, or contributing to a good charitable cause, or living a clean life will not give you favor with Jesus to give you promise to enter into heaven with out repentance. All that are born into this world have falling short of the one thing that will get us into heaven. Read Romans 3:19-23 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
20: Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21: But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22: Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;  

Once we call upon the Lord in repentances and realized that we have falling short of the glory of God. Jesus Christ will forgive you of all your sins in the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ that bore our sin on the cross for the entire world.  Read: 1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

God gave up his only son that he loved very much for us to save us for the death of sin. Read: John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Salvation through Christ: A Matter of FAITH

Jesus loves you and wants to have a personal relationship with you. In your personal opinion, what do you understand it takes for a person to get to heaven and have eternal life? Here is how the Bible answers this question. It is answered in one word and the word is FAITH.

F Is for Forgiveness

Everyone has sinned and needs God's forgiveness. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; God's forgiveness is in Jesus only. Ephesians 1:7: In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

A Is for Available

God's forgiveness is available for all. John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. God's forgiveness is available but not automatic. Matthew 7:21: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

I Is for Impossible

According to the Bible, it is impossible to get to heaven on our own. Ephesians 2:8-9: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. So how can a sinful person have eternal life and enter heaven?

T Is for Turn

If you were going down the road and someone asked you to turn, what would he or she be asking you to do? (Change direction) Turn means repent. Turn away from sin and self. Luke 13:3: I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Turn to Jesus alone as your Savior and Lord. John 14:6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Here is the greatest news of all. Romans 10:9-10: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 

What happens if a person is willing to repent of their sins and confess Christ?

H Is for Heaven

Heaven is a place where we will live with God forever. John 14:3: And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 

H can also stand for how

How can a person have God's forgiveness, eternal life, and heaven? By trusting in Jesus as your Savior and Lord. You can do this right now by praying and asking Jesus to forgive you of your sins and inviting Jesus into your heart.

Accepting Christ is just the beginning of a wonderful adventure with God! Get to know Him better in a number of ways:
