The Righteous Shall Care About The Poor

 The Book Of Proverbs: God's wisdom For Righteous Living

Proverbs 29:7

The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern.

 

No one is saying that poor people should always live on the state or fed govt payroll forever, unless they are not able to work, but we still need a comprehensive social program to help fill in the huge gaps that need to be filled in times of trouble.

Life is not fair, and evil is in the very fabric of every society and country. We have to have fair laws and resources that help poor people lift themselves out of the crippling proverty that is found everywhere in our world.

Some people are poor because the system that they live in does not allow them to lift themselves out of the trap in which they were born into. Some people are poor because they do not have the resources or training that could help them to advance, and some people are poor because they lost the battle in life and this meant that they lost everything that they had...

We need to be concerned by the problems of poor people, because if we do not help the people that need our help the most, why should God help us when we are in need? 

God wants us to help other people, regardless of why they are in the situation that they find themselves in, even if they can never pay us back for what we can do for them. God will bless everyone who is willing to give to other people from their hearts....

What Fools Do to Justify Themselves

 Psalm 14:1-3

1   A man without shame says in his heart, "There is no God".   Everybody is bad. They are all evil.  Nobody is doing anything good. 

2   The LORD is looking down from heaven on the sons of man.  He is looking to see if there is anyone that understands.  He is looking to see if anyone is looking for God.

3   But everybody has turned away (from God).  They have all become evil.  Nobody does anything that is good.

A fool has no shame in his heart, therefore he will do anything to please himself without thinking of the consequences of his actions. He believes that he is always right. What does God see when he looks upon the world of man? Death, destruction, chaos, hate and evil, because this is the natural state of men's hearts when they do not reside in the light of truth, love, and righteousness in Jesus Christ...

When we live for God, we believe in Him and we accept His Son, Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and savior. We are not perfect, but we are righteous in God's eyes because we believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins, and that now we are forgiven of our past sins, current sins, and the errors we may make in the future. No one can satisfy the need to be made whole as the love of Jesus Christ that resides in our hearts...

Why does the foolish man say that there is no God? He doesn't believe in God because he has made himself the god of his life. He lives to please himself. He is capable of doing good deeds, but good deeds will never erase the fear, greed, lust, anger, hate, bitterness and pain in his heart. This is the constant state of man's heart till the day that he dies. The bad news is that if you choose to live for yourself and not for God in this life, you will not live for God in the next life.

in fact, you will be separated from Him forever, and the fear, greed, lust, anger, hate and bitterness will reside within you forever and ever in the darkness of your own rejection of God's love. You do not want to reside anyplace where there is no God, no love, and no peace; ask anyone who has lived under the iron of oppression for most of their lives, and they will tell you that there is no peace in a hopeless situation...

Live for the Lord Jesus Christ. Accept HIs kind and loving gift of salvation. Live for a real purpose that will give you satisfaction. Live in the light of HIs Majesty and Glory. Let His love abide in your heart. Learn how to love with the love of the Lord, His sacrificial love. and you will be concerned for other people's welfare not just your own. Peace, love and joy will reside in your heart forever. You will live with God and Jesus Christ in the light of their love forever and ever - and no one will able to take that peace from you if you continue to reside within His heart....

Live For The Lord Jesus Christ - repeat this prayer of salvation:

Dear Lord Jesus, come into my heart right now , I accept your generous gift of forgiveness of my sins, you died in my place so that i would never have to pay the heavy debt of what i have done. I receive you as my personal Lord and Savior and i give you my life right now in Jesus Name I pray, Amen

I 

Great is the happiness in your heart right now - you will never be disappointed by His love for you

Give Praise To God!

The Book Of Proverbs: God's wisdom For Righteous Living

Proverbs 29:16

When the wicked thrive, so does sin, but the righteous will see their downfall.

We need to understand that there is a season for everything. We have good times, and we have bad times, but in every season, we must praise The Lord and thank him for His Grace and Mercy.

When there are times of trouble, our praise should be lifted up to the one who can save us and give us peace in our hearts, because these things are never permanent. We go through a storm and then there is a time when the storm ends. Our choice should be to trust in the Lord, and that He will give us the strength to weather any storm that comes our way...

Reach for the Safety of The Lord

 Psalm 9:9-10

9   For the LORD is a place where the oppressed can hide.  He will be a fortress in times of trouble.

10   Everyone that knows your name (LORD) will put their trust in you.  LORD, you will never turn away from anyone that looks for you.

This is the Word of God that was given to me a few weeks ago:

There will be a major storm in the next three months - You will have no power- You must prepare

Storms may come and go, but the Lord's presence is everlasting. He will be there for you, He will protect you; you have nothing to fear if you are a believer in Jesus Christ. He will protect and guide you to safety. If you receive a message from the Lord or if you get an urgency to prepare for what is coming in the future, please do not ignore it. Make sure that youa nd your family have everything that is needed to survive the storm...

Look for the Lord >>> He will find you

Trust in the Lord >>> He will help you

Hide in the Lord  >>> He will protect you

Give Praise To God, For All He Has Done For You And Tell The World About His Love And HIS GRACE!

Into The Net That The Nations Have Dug...

 Psalm 9:15-16

15   Into the hole that they dug the nations fell.  They caught their own feet in the net that they hid.

16   You will recognise the LORD by his justice.  The enemies of God will catch themselves in their own nets.

  HIGGAION  SELAH

The word of God is Holy and has many different layers of meaning. We can see in these scriptures the people praising God for what He as done for them, and thanksgiving for the defeat of their enemies, so why does it seem like the bible was written yesterday? Why do many of its themes seem true in our own hearts? Because the times may be different but the basic reasons for living and why we struggle to live that life is the same as when these words were written thousands of years ago.

We know that the old saying 'nothing is new under the sun' has some merit. We believe that we are more advanced and more knowledgable about life and the universe than the people who lived in the past, but no one is exempt from the effects of a fallen human nature,and no one is exempt for human suffering. In these scriptures, it tells of some nationswho plotted against the kingdom of israel. They wanted to destroy the land and itspeople, but it seems that they failed.

They were destroyed by their own efforts and plans. They found out that the people of Israelhad a God in heaven who loved them, and that He would protect them from their enemies. They were destroyed by their own arrogance and pride. The same has happened time and time again, for the nation of israel and for the people of God. God's enemies have always believed thatt hey could destroy what God has created.

It has been thousands of years, countless wars in heaven and on earth, nations rise and fall,people who lived long lives in their own strength only to lose their eternal life in death separated froma loving God that would have given them the strength to live in His presence forever and ever...throughout it all, God has always saved a remnant for Himself. If you are a citizen of the Kingdom of God, He will save you from everything that is about to happen - you will praise Him when your family is safe, or you will go to be with Him to live in His presence forevermore, no more pain, no more suffering, just everlasting gratitude with peace, love and joy....

The world is about to see what God will do for the people that He loves - the nations all plot to destroy the land of Israel, God's chosen land. The people of Israel will know who saved them. He will protect His people. He will give His heart and mind to the ones who believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. He will give us the power to survive and thrive in these last days. He will give us the power to give our testimony to the world and the world will respond...

This is warning to the people who believe that they can do better than what the Lord of Hosts has provided for the people of earth. They want to destroy His people and His name. They want to get rid of the followers of Jesus and they want to forget HIS NAME. They plot to destroy us all, but in the end they will find that they will slip and fall into the pit of their own making. They will be confused, scared, and terrified of the coming wrath of the Lord of Hosts...He will not be mocked or be destroyed, and the earth and its people will praise His name forevermore.....

What is the difference between Godly Counsel and Ungodly Counsel?

  The Book Of Proverbs: God's wisdom For Righteous Living

Proverbs 12:15

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.

You need to know the difference between Godly and Ungodly counsel. The first place to find the wisdom of God is in His Word. If you do not read the bible, you are sorely lacking in wisdom and Godly counsel.

This is why the Lord inspired His Word to be written - He needed people in the world who would live according to His standards, and we needed something tangible that we could refer to when looking for Godly inspiration in our lives...

Success in God's eyes is discovering the will of God for your life and then following His will for your life.

Those who walk away from the will of God will find themselves compromising their moral integrity - they can be bought with money, power, and being able to influence other people to do the same - this is the devil's agenda to silence the people of God and to lessen our influence on the world; this is why the world is getting darker every day...

Do not spend time with scoffers who scorn God, Jesus and His Word; you will never convince them to believe in something so good because they have no respect for what is real, true and good in the world.

Ungodly Counsel:

-appeals to our fleshly desires

-is self-centered and focuses upon the person's will and purpose for their life

-tells us what we want to believe even if it is not true

-is based upon deception and lays the path for our destruction

-contradicts the Word of God

Godly Counsel:

-appeals to our spiritual development

-is god centered and focuses upon the will of God for the purpose of our lives

-tells us what is true in God's eyes and in His Wisdom

-lays in the path of righteousness forever with lasting peace and prosperity

-lines up perfectly with the Word of God

Walk in the path set before you in the Lord and continue to stand upon His Word

2021 the year of distractions

 These last two years have brought great revelation to people who are not used to seeking or hearing revelation knowledge from God.  The world is dying, and the people that live upon it are unwilling or unable to change themselves or their circumstances. But the Lord is always willing to give everyone revelation about what they can do to change their situation and about the majesty of His Glory....

For me, 2021 was the year of distraction. I understood that these things must come to pass, but it is a strange existence to live in the last days of the age of man. As a christian, you hope and pray for the coming of Jesus Christ. You can see the world is in a terrible state. People are losing hope for a better tommorow, and we christians are the only ones that can tell them about the hope found in Jesus Christ. But first, we must deal with our own fears and weaknesses.

The year of 2020 was the year of the pandemic. Everyone worked hard, prayed hard, comforted people, and tried to hold on while a wave of sickness and disease ravaged the world.  We thought we had endured the worst of it only to have new variations of viruses come and go and then come again. We do not know when this will end, but I can say for sure that it has changed the lives of everyone, whether they be rich or poor, young or old. We cannot forget what was lost and what could happen in the near future.

War, disease, strange weather, unnatural occurences are happening every day. So, how did I personally cope with the problems of the world? I tried to stay close to Jesus Christ as much as possible, but I have to admit that I got distracted. We all get distracted by the problems in our lives. We find ways to comfort ourselves and then we lose focus on the big picture....

I certainly prayed and read the bible, had my devotion time, and did my biblical studies, but my mind lost focus in some areas of my life.  I didnt do enough to shut out all the craziness because really it was impossible to do so. I was not in denial on what I saw happening every day, I did everything that I could to help people in prayer and giving, but you can get weary of listening to the madness that is happening in this country and around the world every day.....

God wants us to keep our focus on Him and not on our circumstances. We need to live for Him and not for ourselves. He is the one that can give us peace in the time of troubles.  Joy, laughter, and love are our best weapons against the darkness and the fear. Live for Him, and He will show you what happiness is really all about. Hapiness has nothing to do with wealth, fame,  or so called 'power & influence' - it has everything to do with peace, love, hope, joy and everlasting life and love in the presence of an All Mighty God who loves you.....
