Clean your life

To the sinner, find the malfunction that is holding you hostage from breaking ties with Satan. Satan is looking for a victim to attach himself too.

Romans 7:13-20  Struggling with Sin

13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

The verb condescend used to be free of any hint of the offensive su·pe·ri·or·i·ty it usually suggests today. It could mean literally "to go or come down" or, figuratively, "to willingly lower oneself to another's level," senses that are still occasionally encountered in writings on the Bible.

I Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 

Why?

Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

Born in this world as a sinner

Palm 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

John 3:3 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.

 Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

Eve knew the answer about the forbidden fruit tree that God told both Adam and Eve. (Don’t touch or eat of the tree)  

Genesis 3:3 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. 

The serpent the devil painted a picture to Eve that the tree was interesting, and that they wouldn’t die.

Genesis 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

So, Satan repeated the truth about what God told Adam in the beginning that the tree of the Garden is forbidden.

Genesis 2:16-17 16 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.

Before the Adam and Eve disobeyed God there was a great war in heaven.

Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

Satan is the cause of war, fighting’s, arguments, family separation, divorces, sickness and all the bad and evil that exist are from the devil.

 I Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

If you want to give your heart to the Lord say these words after me.

“Dear Lord Jesus, I am a sinner. I believe that you died and rose from the dead to save me from my sins. I want to be with you in heaven forever. God, forgive me of all my sins that I have committed against you. Wash me in your precious blood. I here and be my personnel Savior. Amen.”now open my heart to you and ask you to come into my heart and life and

Romans 10:9,10  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. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

6 Attributes that are needed to be a faithful Christian

1.    Faith      Romans 10:17  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.  

2.    Works   James 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?  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.

3.    Prayer  1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing. Example I King 18:41-43 And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain. 42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees, 43 And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times. 

4.    Read the word of God 2 Timothy 3:16 - All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: John 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

5. Living in Holiness Living in Holiness 1 Peter 1:15-16 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

            Charity 1 Corinthians 13:13 

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

6.    1 Peter 4:8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

The Lord’s Supper (Communion)

Read I Corinthians 11:23-34

It causes us to remember our Lord’s death and resurrection and to look for His glorious return in the future.

Are you worthy to sit with Jesus and have supper with him?

The Passover was the most sacred feast of the Jewish religious year. It commemorated the final plague on Egypt when the firstborn of the Egyptians died and the Israelites were spared because of the blood of a lamb that was sprinkled on their doorposts. The lamb was then roasted and eaten with unleavened bread. God’s command was that throughout the generations to come the feast would be celebrated. The story is recorded in Exodus 12.

If one partakes of the Communion and yet still doing sin it is like the one holding the bag of 30 pieces of silver.

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus

Matthew 26: 14-15Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, 15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver

Jesus said unto the disciples that one of you shall betray me.

Matthew 26:25 25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.

in Verse 23. Jesus in the same day was betrayed by some of the disciples

Who were they? Judas & Peter

In Verse 24. Before they eat the bread and drank the cup they prayed over it first. Very important point in this verse is, this do in remembrance of me

in Verse 25. Also, in the same matter he also took the cup and said this is my blood of the new testament to drink this to remember me.

Matthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. I John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.  

Propitiation: atonement, especially that of Jesus Christ.

Christ's Sacrifice Once for All (The old law with the yearly sacrifices could not make one perfect)

Hebrews 10:1- 1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

**Jesus was a onetime offering for sin

Hebrews 10:9-10  9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Jesus the onetime offering, not like the old law, that was done yearly visiting the priest yearly to offer for their sins, would never remove their sins, but the offering of the body of Christ it would remove their sins and the Lord Jesus would remember them no more.

Romans 10:16-18 16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

The bible tells us that you will have a new mind supporting the strength of Jesus Christ the perfect offering for sin, and keeping us in the will of God.

Ephesians 4:23,24 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

In Verse 27: If you partake of the Lord’s communion dishonestly, knowing that you are weak and still continue to sin, after the matter of taking the communion do not take the communion.

I Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?    

Reprobates: : to condemn strongly as unworthy, unacceptable, or evil 

2: to foreordain to damnation

3: to refuse to accept : reject

In Verse 29 If anyone takes of the communion unworthily he or she will receive damnation to themselves, not discerning the Lord’s body.

Not discerning will have an effect of learning to stay faithful and continue the path of righteousness, in turn; you will become having a reprobate mind.     

In Verse 30 “Many sleep” Means that some of the people had died. The Lord’s Supper is not to be taken lightly; this new covenant cost Jesus his life. It is not a meaningless ritual, but a sacrament given by Christ to help strengthen our faith.

In Verse 31 If you would examine your Christian faith and determine rather we are living up to the approved faith, not of ourselves, but in the Lord eyes, Because we would discern our life by spiritual discernment that was giving to us by Jesus Christ.

In Verse 32 If we ignore the warning’s of our careless and disobedient to the word of God, then the Lord Jesus Christ will reprimand you to correct your wrong path that is leading you away from the truth.

Jesus Christ corrects the one’s he loves.

Hebrews 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 

Spare the rod you spoil the child (We are the Children of God)

Proverbs 13:24He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

The coming of the day Jesus

You can with Jesus

                                    

Training in a Boot camp for the Christian is not easy (John 16:33)

 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Hold on to faith that has saved you from death onto life with our Lord Christ, Jesus  trials will come into your life to try your strength in faith. (Act 14:22)

Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

Good comes unto them that wait in patience (Romans 5:3,4)

  And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4: And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

Who is going to separate us from the love of God aren’t we more then conquerors! (Romans 8:37) Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. The world didn’t give us life eternal and the World can’t take it away

(John 16:22) And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

Remember we are sheep for the slaughter seek for refuge. In the in the shadow of the winds of the lord for strength, not in the flesh but in the spirit (Romans 8:35,39)

 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36: As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37: Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38: For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39: 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.

John 15:18
If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first.

Are you living in the Holy life for the Lord? Are troubles hitting you from ever side, don’t worry. The Devil doesn't want you to win the prize.  You will go through theses trials to strengthen your spiritual walk with God.  (I Peters 4:12,13)

   Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
      

Cover yourself with the armor of the Lord to fight your enemies working against righteousness. (Ephesians 6:16-18) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17: And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

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. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

The pay off!

Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

The Sermon on the Mount

The Beatitudes Matthew 5:3-12

(Psalm 1:1-6; Luke 6:20-23)

3Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

5Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

6Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

7Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

8Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

9Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

10Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

What does atheist believe in?

  

The atheist believes in scientific theory, what does that mean? The great big bang! Or we were developed from billons of molecules and formed to exist of all things. Guessing is not an excepted answer.

Yes, God created all things without him nothing would exist.

John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

In the beginning when God created the earth and all the sea creatures and fish, and the birds of the air, and the mountains and the land animals and the trees and plants and the moon and the stars, God said that it was good.

The word good is the opposite of bad. God only created things that were good and expectable.

Jesus Christ mentioned that there was one that was good and that is the father in heaven

Mark 17:18 17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? 18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

 

If we do bad then that is the nature of sin that lives in us.

The Forbidden Fruit

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.

 

The Serpent's Deception

 

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. 

 

When we are born into this world we have inherited the nature of sin, Because of Adam and Eve they have invited the nature of disobedient in which turned into sin.

 

Psalm 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

 

We lack permission to service the Lord God Why?  

 

The bible tells us that we have all sinned and have come short of the glory of God.

 

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

 

Atheism is a form of disobedient the lack of knowledge to the truth that unlocks the door to understanding.

Ephesians 4:18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

 

 

God is not flesh and bones, as we are. But a spirit that is truly very powerful and knows the thoughts of man.

I Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 

 

If we do bad things, aren’t we disobedient to God? Because if we know how to do good to man wouldn’t we have an understanding of God’s good? Remember when God created the earth all things were good.

 

Psalms 14:1 1{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

 

Why was Jesus Christ chosen to save us from our sins? He was a perfect sacrifice without sin.  The bible tells us that if we confess our sins to Jesus Christ he is faithful and just to forgive us for our sins.

I John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Hebrews 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

 

God doesn’t think like we do, nor does he act like we do.

 

Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

Example: Image you have a bottle with a wide bottom and a narrow neck. Inside the bottle there is a seed. Your job is to reach inside the bottle and grab the seed and pull it out. Problem, you are not able to remove the seed from the bottle because, you are holding unto the seed and the narrow part of the bottle is preventing you from releasing your hand. If you release the seed you are able to release your hand. The seed represents your sins. If you let go of sin you will be free of sin through Jesus Christ our Lord.

If God be for us who can be against us

Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Let’s mention why we ought to be on God’s side.

1.   We are giving Salvation from a death (The bonus eternal life with Jesus Christ in Heaven)

2.   Unlimited liability of protection in this world with Jesus

3.   The Lord will supply your every needs  

4.   Authorized to use the name of Jesus to rebuke the devil and cast out devils in his name, and lay hands on the sick in his name.

5.   Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.     

Satan was defeated at the cross

1 Corinthians 15:26 King James Version (KJV)

²⁶ The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

Hebrew 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.

Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

Heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool

Acts 7:49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?

Once you have invited Jesus Christ into your heart there will not be anything that will force you to leave God (Remember you have the authorize to rebuke the devil that brings temptation)    

Romans 8:38-39 King James Version (KJV)

³⁸ For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

³⁹ 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.

**Now, if God has defeated the devil and God is on your side. And for those that are not certain on their relationship with Jesus Christ who do you think is fighting for you in your corner?

**If you don’t reflect the image of God how can God fight for those that pretend to be Christian, does God pretend to be God to us? 

James 1:23-24 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: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

Rend the old garments and put on God

Destroy your burdens with the spirit of God. Out of the abundance of the heart you worship God. Tear the old tattered garment and put on the garments of God.

The meaning for tearing your garments .The tearing of one’s clothes is an ancient tradition among the Jews, and it is associated with mourning, grief, and loss.

Joshua 7:6 And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.

Your body is more important than your clothes  

Matthew 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

Exchange your garments for the beautiful garments of praise.

The spirit of despair was replaced with the spirit of praise   

Isaiah 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

Seating in ashes

Among the ancient Hebrews and other Orientals, to sprinkle with or sit in ashes was a mark or token of grief, humiliation, or pen-i-tence. Ashes on the head was one of the ordinary signs of mourning for the dead.

 The Meaning of Ashes

After Job's 3 friends seen Job, they couldn't believed the punishment they thought God did to Job, so the three friends of Job tore there garments thinking that they had no part in what they thought was that Job sinned. "Never judge a book by its cover"       

Job 2:12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.

Humble yourself before God and rend your clothes

II Chronicles 34:27 Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard thee also, saith the LORD.

A good man brings good out of his heart, and evil man bad things

Luke 6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

@@Tearing off the old garments that have history of the old past. Put on the new with glory and praise the Lord with honor.

Colossians 3:10 And have on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him.

Because we are in the world doesn't mean we effect our spiritual relationship with God to compromise our faith with the world.

I John 2:15 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.

@@The world's sin reminds me of fly paper. There must be something sweet on the paper to attract the flies. There is nothing sweet about sin.

@@Satan is called the “lord of the flies” (“Baal-zebub”) We need to stay away from places that Baal-Zebub  dwells. (Satan) Think about this? where to you find flies? Things that are dead... If you follow Satan you are hang out with the dead...

Example: We are in this world be not part of the sins that separate from the love of God. It's like having a boat in the water, not the water in the boat.

When you surrender your complete life to Jesus Christ, we surrender all.
If we tear and remove our old tattered garments from our old life with the Lord Jesus, he will replaced them with a new garment of glory.

That means all pieces of garment from your old life must go.

If you hold  onto a scarf that was part of the old garment you have not removed and, giving your life completely to Jesus.

If your eye offend thee cast it from thee

Matthew 5:29-30 29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. 30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Closing scriptures: Matthew 5:14-16 Ye are the light of the world

Consider the change and walk in faith and, the Lord will lead your way.
