LIVING RIGHTEOUS IN PERILOUS TIMES

LIVING RIGHTEOUS IN PERILOUS TIMES

Matthew 6: 14-15   ¹⁴ For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

¹⁵ But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

When we stop loving people, family and friends, or anyone because of some petty thing they might have said of done, that is called aught or trespasses.

Mark 11:25-26   ²⁵ And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

²⁶ But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

In both places Jesus calls them trespasses which means you have a grudge against them.

Jesus is saying, if you refuse to forgive them, He (meaning the Father), will not forgive you

But if you forgive the failures of others, your heavenly Father will forgive you.

We need to stop holding grudges and hard feelings against people. Especially a Christian Brother or Sister.

The reason God can’t forgive you for doing that is it is a sin not to forgive. God has forgiven you many times.

We need to stay righteous and love one another as Christ loves us.

Roman 6:23   ²³ For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The wages of sin is death. Sin will take you farther away from God than you ever want to go. It is a long way back.

You can get so caught up in sin until you will completely loose your spiritual vision.

Proverbs 29:18   ¹⁸ Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

Vision creates hope. Your spiritual life will only go as far as your vision leads you.

If you lose your vision, you lose your hope.

With the world situation as it is today, it looks like people are starting to lose hope.

Biblical hope is the foundation that faith is built on.

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

If you give up on hope, you’re not going to be hearing, and if we stop hearing, God will stop hearing. Faith only comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Hebrews 11:6   ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Without faith it is impossible to please God.

If you give up on hope, you are not going to hear.

If you don’t hear, you will start losing faith.

If you loose faith it will be impossible to please God.

If you go this far then you won’t trust God, you will give up on hope and faith then depression comes in.

Now you are in trouble. You have just been inducted into the world’s way of thinking.

If you are on the bottom and the only way left is up. Now is the time to stop and think. How did I ever get to this point in my life? Don’t quit and throw in the towel.

This is Satan’s deception. He gets you into the worlds system of thinking, he will steal your vision and it will hinder your faith walk.

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

It is saying, stay alert and keep your mind clear. Why? Because it’s the battle field of your mind is where he tries to devour you.

Now is the time to get back in the word and get tough.

Say, Devil I am a child of God and I am a Kings kid. I have the authority and the blood on my side

Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

If you are sick, it is a Job for El Shadi, the God of Abraham, Isack and Jacob.

If you are down, it is a job for El Shadi

If you are depressed, it is a job for El Shadi

If you are tired of being tired, it is a job for El Shadi.

Is there a mountain in your life, speak to it.

We have been blood bought by Jesus Christ.

We have that perfect Blood covenant.

We are not of this world, we are here temporarily.

We are heirs to the Kingdom of God.

We are brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ.

We are sons and daughters of God.

We have to forgive people and hold no grudge

Love one another as Christ loves us

Stay righteous before our Heavenly Father, thru Christ Jesus his son.

Speak to that mountain in your life.

Speak to the snake that is trying to confuse you.

Tell that snake he will have to come thru the Blood of Jesus to reach you.

When you accepted Jesus as savior you gained favor with God.

The devil will never give up…Don’t you give up either.

Gods’ desire for you is for you to be on the top, not the bottom.
