Let's justify our course in Christ

have always said that not everyone who speaks or preaches the gospel of Christ no matter what the emphasis is on, whether he preaches or sings or speaks with a friend in normal conversation, what he says comes from the depths of his spirit no, very few people or preachers  truely meaning from their heart

This is so clear that God himself has said it here in.  Matthew 15: 8-9 “These men honor me with their lips;  But their hearts are far from me.  And in vain do they worship me, Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men. 

Many people believe in God with their mouths, many preach even the sweat comes from them but they only preach with the mouth and do not have faith in what they preach, and some of them are prayers and some good singers but do not believe in the words they say.  This really hurts our God to see that they have made God a place of unlawful reward.  As the result is that although they worship God but do not have the truely physical  and spiritual benefit  they receive from worshiping God, we must benefit from worshiping God.

Jesus warned against this kind of service saying Luke 11:46 "He said, Woe unto you lawyers! For ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

It is shameful and shameful for a servant of God to see that you are preaching to people not to drink but you are the first to use alcohol and if they ask you why you are drunk you answer not to follow your actions but to follow and apply the words you preach, how else? The wonder is when the sea breaks into your marriage you are the first to go around and tell the world the secrets of your marriage or ministry.  People wonder how the Jesus who said we should rely on Him is not with Him.

Dear learn now to keep the words of your mouth before the people, if you yes let remain to be yes , and if you say not let be so, even if you are in secretly hidden place because there is a God who sees what is hidden.

The biggest mistake we make when we preach is that of preaching to others or condemning evil to others without us getting nothing to teach us in what we say, this is not right as I have to preach I must learn something from the message I preach to others.  This is a biblical principle.  Acts 20:35 "... remembering the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is better to give than to receive."  The giver receives more than he receives.

what I want to say is that if I preach to others then I have to learn twice as much as the ones I teach, meaning that I have to have more strength to endure trials than the one I teach.  why because I who preach the word of Christ receive twice as much spiritual nourishment as the One I preach the gospel to Christ.

Looking at our Lord Jesus Christ we see that He always upheld what He said. That is why even when the temptation of the cross was so heavy He asked if it was your will that this cup should avoid me, not as I will, but as God wills.  Look at the apostles who kept the words of their mouths until they were faithful and even shed blood did not deny the faith they preached.

Why do we not want to keep the word of our mouth?  The main reason is that we preach to those but We do not preach ourselves at all and do not turn our ear to something to help us from the teaching that God has given us to teach others.

Hear dear, the truth is that if you know anything about God then know that you will also be tempted because of that word.  Mark 4:17 But they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while;  then when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway they stumble.

Are we together until then ?, tribulation or distress arises Because of the word that is in you, it is because of the word within you comes that the enemy may take it within you.  Prepare yourself Through prayer.  When you see distress arise you understand that there is already a word in you and the enemy is looking for the door to take it. So it is a better time for you to increase your faith in God than to give the enemy the opportunity to catch up as the word in you.

We must stand firm in the truth, today we seek to use the scriptures for our benefit and not for Christ anymore.  Nowadays, when you talk about modest clothes in the church, you will be told that God looks not out but inside!  True but how do these people get bored for your casual dress, do you forget Jesus said that Matthew 18: 6 “but he that offendeth one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better to be cast upon the neck of a great millstone and cast into the depths of the sea.  How do you talk about offending one of these little ones with a little faith, are you ready to stone?

Today we have used the criterion of Freedom in Christ as a bush to hide our evil, yes one does evil on purpose but if you tell God he does not like what you do he will tell you that I am free in Christ.  Brethren, this freedom has been given to us to fulfill God's purpose, but if we use it otherwise, it is no longer a freedom but a great burden to us because it separates us from Christ and not from moving closer to Jesus.

Let's look at how Jesus used this Freedom.  Matthew 26:53 "Or think ye that I cannot pray unto my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?"  Jesus did not use the power and the freedom He had to bring an army of angels to deal with his enemies because He knew that it would thwart God's purposes.  Even We also have to look at God's broad interests even if we really have no problem with our movement but how do the nations see us, don't forget that you are a letter everyone reads, now if your dirty letter even though you think it is clean will help you if no one will  read Since it lacked favor For readers ?.  Be careful not to be like a stone though you see Jesus but prevent others from seeing God through your life that is not the gospel.  Scholars say actions speak louder than words.

Apostles prophets and all we serve at the altar of God let us be serious here when it comes to the message we preach through the valley of death, or of encouragement, when it comes time for us to be tempted and to be ready.  never escape and deny this very precious faith but let us prove the words of our mouths.

If you really have Faith so much that you cannot be offended it is very good, but it is also good to have mercy on those who have less faith.  If you are a teacher of others then be an example to those you teach not just in words but in actions as well.

I wish you the blessings of our Heavenly Father that we receive in the love of his beloved Son Jesus Christ.

Good Shepherd

Shalom church!

Good Shepherd:

Today let us take a look at this word of Good Shepherd,and I want to look at the cowboy so we can understand better.

It is the responsibility of the herdman who knows where his herds will graze but the cows themselves do not know, he does his best to guide his cows to follow the path but the cows themselves do not know the way and does not follow. A herdsman knows very well the health of his herds. Of course the cow depends on her for everything.

I found myself reflecting on these while I was reading these words 

John 10: 1-5

[1] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

[2] But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 

He that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

[3] To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 

The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. and he calls his own sheep by name, and sends them out.

[4] And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 

And when he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

[5] And a stranger will not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. 

A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee; for they know not the voice of strangers.

In fact I became deaf when untill I asked for the help of the Holy Spirit to help me understand, after this request I was presented with a picture of a cow and that is why I used a cow instead of a sheep.

Now let's go together, Jesus is a good shepherd.

You know the cow is very disturbed because she does not know where to eat so the herdman just comes and decides where to send his old cow. the herd is obliged to keep him from destroying the crops of the people because where he sends him there is a good pasture for it but the cow does not understand and is angry.

Here we are, we do not know our future or our existence is the only God who knows us and guides us to good pastures.

Psalms 23: 2

[2] He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 

In grassy pastures he makes me lie down; beside quiet waters he guides me.

Yet we do not understand that we are rushing into things other than God's way (purpose) worse even when he stares at us in anger! Yes, Jesus, be merciful.

The cow does not even know where to sleep is the duty of the herdman to clean the barn but when the herdman clears the yard (the barn), the cow herself sometimes resists kicking out the herdman although the cleanliness is for her benefit, and so we when the Spirit of God wants to cleanse us that we are pure so that filth (sin) lest we bring sickness and then death we become angry and accuse Him of the harsh words of truth and the big joke. 

Romans 6:23

[23] For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Jesus have mercy on us .

Jesus is the good shepherd he comes to the door and his joints delight him and he opens the door and clears him, and Jesus is the true Shepherd that is why he comes to you gently and tells you about his purpose to serve him and not to force you to serve him.

Revelation 3:20

[20] Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come to him, and I will sup with him, and he will sup with me. 

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

But the devil because he is a thief does not pass through the door and that is why he forces you to do what he wants and doesn't ask. Choose today to be on the side of a good shepherd or thief, but we the Word ministry advise you to choose Jesus' side.

I want you to understand today that as with the herdman, so is Jesus the good shepherd, he takes great care to make sure that you get food at all times.

Psalms 23: 5

[5] Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 

Thou preparest a table before me in the sight of my persecutors. You put oil on my head, and my cup overflowed.

Yes, do not be afraid he is very sympathetic and I know him well, for he has said himself

John 6:37

[37] All that Father giveth me shall come to me; I will in no wise cast out. 

All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

Like a cow he doesn't know where he will eat tomorrow or who will be treated by him but he always believes his master will send him to the pasture and the pasture.

Likewise you place your faith in Jesus that He will give you what you need even if it is too late.

Learn to wait for the God who has the ANSWER even if it is too late to know whether it is too late or too late.

Testimony .

I personally am a person who received the grace of going to high school, I remember when I went to college the first time I applied for a loan I did not get, although I had all the credit, I was very angry why God did not allow me to get a loan. Although he didn't give me a reason but he helped me continue my studies and I was successful. I went back to college again and applied for a loan but also not getting there I grew to hate God so much, God kept silent and did not answer me why. With great difficulty I was able to finish college. After returning to the streets I spent many years with no meaningful work, one day a friend told me he owes 15 million and the credit board has accumulated debt. That night as I reflected on my friend's debt, the Spirit of Jesus said to me, "How could I give a loan?. Sam I have a good plan for you.

Jeremiah 29:11

[11] For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, seek the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter days.

That's when I realized that God's good thoughts are different from what I think I have, since that day, I know that everything Jesus did for me is good even though it is painful for me.

Beloved there is no good shepherd who wishes for his misery. But he is willing to lay down his life for his flock. This is what Jesus does for you.

Remember that our thoughts are not of God and His practices are far higher than our thoughts.

In all things know that he thinks good or evil for you.

Can One Who Is Born Again Sin?

Shalom church.

One of the brothers came to the inbox and asked the question with reference

1 John 5:18

We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and the wicked one toucheth him not.

I have had to look at the lives of our Beloved before we focus on this passage.

The first.

We read of Sapphira and his wife who had been born again:

Acts 5: 1-3

But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,

And when he knew it, he withdrew a piece of bread, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.

Second.

Peter, who was at the hands of Jesus' disciples, was so confident that he would not fall into Satan's trap of denying Jesus. we read

Now let's go back to 1 John 1:18.

1 John 1: 8-10

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Look at these beautiful sentences, John says if we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves and he not say they deceive themself but we deceive ourselves, and to cleanse us from all injustice but not to cleanse them, and t
He say that we do not sin and do not sin, we make Him a liar and not they make him liar and His word is not in us and not in them. 

John here speaks to the church and does not say  to the Gentiles and even has himself included in it. I believe you understand language well and you understand me. Are you there?

1 John 5: 16-17

If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and God shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a deadly sin. I do not say that he will pray for it. All unrighteousness is sin, and sin is death-free.

He says if one considers a brother not a Gentile, here a brother means a believer committing a sin. John goes so far as to give the interpretation of sin that it is All Wrong. So when we do anything wrong with God or anyone else it is a sin to even answer someone wrongly in those comments.

So this verse of 1 John 5:18  You must have a message in it that we have not missed yet because the author cannot contradict himself and we know the Bible does not contradict itself.

This book describes the closeness of God and fellowship. John here does not address the issue of justification. we make him not guilty when he has seen us wrong We then make him a liar and really deceive ourselves for everything he has seen.

My beloved If we really want fellowship with Jesus we must be truthful in His presence. and the pride of Not asking for forgiveness for our wrongs is a pitfalls for our strong relationship with Christ.

I do not urge You to sin willfully because you will ask Forgiveness because the Scriptures have completely rejected such a thing.

Romans 6: 1-2

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?

No! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in sin?

Hear the Son of God through Bible says that the scriptures must not be interpreted for our needs.

2 Peter 1: 20-21

Knowing this first of all, that no prophecy in Scripture can be interpreted as any one does.

For prophecy was not after the will of man; but men spoke from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.

Thank you for that. I believe you have found something to study with the brother you asked the question I believe you have found the answer to.

Briefly  is that we are all tempted and can fall. When Peter thought he couldn't betray Jesus, Yeau told Peter

Luke 22:31

And he said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat;

Praise Jesus for interceding for us at hard time so that our faith will not fail 

THERE IS ONE difference between the born again and the unborn again. Here's the thing: For unborn again to live in sign is normal thing and they feel comfortable But to him whose born again they are not friendly to sin, his heart becomes unpleasant until he experiences forgiveness and he receives forgiveness.

 Thanks and goodbye

How To Live With People

Do you feel your colleagues in the office don't like you? Or do you feel your neighbors don't like you ?, you find that in your marriage there is no good relationship. Maybe your answer is yes or no, but let's learn about this so if we have a problem with this we know how to get out and if we don't have a problem then we can be helpful to others. The Bible has laid down a number of principles on how to live in peace so that you can live in peace.

BASIC 1

The first foundation is the one we find in Luke 6:38  “ Give to the people, and you will receive; and the measure that is full of oppression and of suppression, and of breaking up, and to shed, shall be given to your breasts. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again . If my actions towards others will return to me, this is something that should be understood and accomplished by actions because you are the one who initiates the game. yours will be  white. Like I want to tell you that if you think you are wrongly said to sit down first and consider your actions to others, you cannot be bad to yourself depending on whether they will pay you good otherwise. Remember this verse in  Galatians 6: 7 “ Do not be misled, God is not mocked; for  whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Mcat there we are all? Possibly what you get is the result or yield of what you planted  yourself. To  prevent this from happening you have to destroy the seed and stop planting which is why I urge you before you point the finger at your contemporaries, and if it is wrong you must destroy the seed with true repentance and sinking.but thou shalt not do this thing unto thy neighbor.

2nd Floor

The second foundation is the one recorded in  Matthew 7: 6  " Give not  that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before  swine , lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you." The Bible says not to throw pearls (something of value) before the pigs lest they trample them and tear them. There are  people who cannot keep their secrets inaccurate, regardless of the importance of those secrets, so that he can become  famous. For example if there are young people talking to a daughter or being told by a boy about the prospect of living together then the whole town will know the  same day. But  there are young people who love him and sometimes they are your friends  , after three days later you will hear your fiancé getting married and your friend is wondering what, how, have your friends gone and told you all your weaknesses, even before the friendship has taken root. If someone wants to buy a car, let everyone know if your partner is a bandit, you wonder if you were attacked, then you blame God, it is your fault you gave your pearls to pigs and they turned to tear you.

3rd ASSOCIATION.

Book of  Matthew 22:39  " And the second is like unto it, namely, Thou shalt love the  neighbor your as yourself".  One of the biggest benefits of this foundation is that you build a good defense at all times. Usually  someone who is a lover of people loves him because he does things that touch the heart and are not hurt by what  he does.Often  people of this type, even if they are in power attack you will find the community coming up to make sure they do not get hurt  . It is for the reason for selfishness is why you do it to the other person.

4th Floor

Learn to use a gentle answer when a partner is angry, which is what we read in  Proverbs 15: 1:  “  A gentleanswer turns away wrath; But the hurtful word stirs up anger ”.There are times when you may not understand each other as neighbors or neighbors, the Bible advises that you should always offer a mild answer to keep the conflict from occurring, but giving a word of humor or heartbreak is often the most provocative and the most enduring  . Let's  read 1 Samuel 25: 24-29 And she fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me be the iniquity; Please let your handmaid speak in your ears, and listen to the words of your handmaid. Please, my lord, do not look at this worthless fellow, Nabal;for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; but I, your handmaid, didn't see the young men of my lord whom you sent. Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, because the LORD hath withheld thee from shedding blood, and from avenging thy own hand, then shall thine enemies, and those that hate my lord, be as Nabal. And now, this present which thy servant hath brought unto my lord, let it be given unto the young men that follow my lord. I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house;because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD; and evil shall not be seen in thee all thy days. And though men rise up to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul, yet the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and he will cast down the souls of your enemies, as from the hollow of a sling. 

You have seen in the news the answer that Nabal sent to David was so bitter that it stirred up anger in David to the point that David wanted to shed blood. But the mother's gentle answer turned the wrath of David on that day, by the same answer that mother healed her house and death.

4th base.

Show love for enemies zako.naomba read 2 Kings 6: 8-23, though I am I will read verses 21 -23  " And the king of Israel saw them, he said to Elisha, O my father, shall I smite them? Should I shoot them?

Are You Stuck?

Have you ever been frustrated and know that frustrations can bind you spiritually? And again that stress can negatively affect your health and your future. Today, dear I am asking you this question because depression is one of the most painful things, especially when it is caused by it. It is the one you are sitting with and eating at one table and it is sometimes frustrating to hate yourself to the point that you feel worthless or end up committing suicide. yourself, but I would like to remind you that in any event you cannot avoid the distractions because they are part of our daily lives.

 Jesus once said that Luke 17: 1 said to his disciples, "The stumbling block is coming, but woe to the man who comes for him!" Jesus is saying that there must be disappointments, he said this in order for us to be careful and to be prepared to face it. And he also says but his woe is coming for him. I think it's good to have enough understanding to deal with the disappointment. You know the disappointment comes in many forms and the most painful is caused by our loved ones or our spiritual leaders. why we suffer so much when we are offended by our closest private individuals I believe it is the belief that you have believed that person cannot do you any harm.

People often fail to understand that frustrations really happen sometimes when you yourself become frustrated. He went in and found the dirt, when he came out and told his colleagues and they started talking to you. or imagine you are a mother who cooked a coarse meal. The salt has exacerbated with the plant when she came and tasted the food and then said so much.

Let's read these verses together (Heb 12: 5) "looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest the root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it; and again Matthew 6: 14-15 "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. ”

Do you see this? Many Christians today are walking through painful bonds caused by frustrations (hurt by the people around them), which makes them unable to hold on to their God in spite of their efforts but when each sore begins to hurt they find themselves unable to look at God. the heart of man is a cradle that reminds many people: “If you look carefully at the lack of God's grace; lest the root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it ”; Now bilblia is advising that no one is bitter in it for the safety of the community and the church as well.

Also according to the context: For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. ”The effect of being bitter in our hearts is not being forgiven of our sins. If you are not forgiven then what do you mean by being separated from your God? this is very wrong. learn the insecurity of your safety. There is also the fact that some illnesses are caused by heartache.

Jesus in Luke 17: 1 we read above showing woe to the one who stumbles, this means that we are all responsible for making sure we do not have to offend another person because if we are going to bring disappointments to one of these little ones then a heavy stone is tied around our neck. if you stumble the way I mentioned above then know that the one who stumbles and the one you are both offends is punished because you have each been the cause of the other. So it is best to sit down and consider first the cause or cause of your disappointment.

Despite the fact that disappointment is inevitable in our lives, the good news is that the Bible gives us advice on how to avoid it. For example, when we read Psalm 119: 165, "They have peace and love your law, and nothing to offend them". and by obeying his word (his merit) we can have great peace even when there are people who frustrate us as we will not stumble as the saying goes ... "And there is no stumbling block ..." Again Isaiah 26: 3 "3 Thou wilt keep him whose heart is trusting in perfect peace, because our trust is in God. "I don't know what my brother expects in your life but today that those who trust their God for their disappointment are nothing to scare at.

You are really hurt by your friend who is around you and wants to marry you, and this is already happening you can't change it. In the name of Jesus I ask your forgiveness so that you may have peace. I emphasize this so that no harm will come to you.

My dear I advise you today, don't be so quick to be frustrated and angry but most of all when you sit down and think about why these people think you are, you will be surprised to find that you are the source. There are some frustrations that can occur without you participating, but I am glad to wish that your caregivers are for your spiritual and physical health as well.

Sante being with me in this lesson, it is my belief that you have found something to help yourself and others as well. May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you so much more and more Holy Spirit to reveal to you this secret in the glory of His name. Amen.
