Social media - Limit what you intake, and engage - Scripture says - Be careful what you feast on.

We (the church) call ourselves blessed, Spirit filled believers….gossip, private lives, engaging in that which is not pleasing to God

Psalm 1:1 LEB

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the advice of the wicked; nor does he stand in the way of sinners; nor does he sit in the assembly of mockers.

It’s neither prayer nor song, but teaching. Intends to teach us how we should live away life

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,

Ungodly - worthlessness, unprofitable, or wicked - in other words, his conduct is not shaped by worldly standards

The psalmists - WALK……….TALK vs WALK

We walk by faith not by sight. What's my daily horoscope - text msg. Unsubscribe

unholy counsel will destroy happiness.

listen to the advice of the world you will end up in more trouble miserable

Proverbs 20:13

Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

1. you need sleep, but you must learn to hate wasting time in bed.

Poverty is only a snooze button away.

Eternal damnantion is a snooze button away - choose ye this day whom you will serve.

open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

John 6: 35 - 36 ESV

And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.

Open your eyes, put your foot on the floor, and get moving.

Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful talk arrogantly

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

goodly man…

He does not make his association with evil men;

Does not fellowship with those who speak arrogantly against the Lord.

A sanctified mouth is not a scornful

Some of us aren’t happy, simply because we do not protect our gates.

Someone folk can be draining.

IG draining, too much TV,

1 Cor: 2:14

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath

righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

1 Cor 2:17

Come out come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you

Walk, Stand, Sit.

As we walk, we careful not to seek counsel from the ungodly, Why? You stand in the way of sinners. Next you’ll take a seat.

Sitting in Sin - wrong and you know you wrong...

Sin - an immoral act a transgression against divine law.

Romans 6 v1 - 11 (skip 5, 6)

6 

Believers Are Dead to Sin, Alive to God

1 ¶ 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?

3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

5 ¶ For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.

8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Little children I wish that you do not sin but if you do - we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

Psalm 1: v3 - I am Blessed

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Deuteronomy 28 v 1 -3

1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

2 and all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.

It is in psalm v3 we see that the…..

the godly man is described as a tree planted by the rivers of water. That bringeth forth fruit in his season.

This man Understands the true meaning of

“ have no other God's before me”

This man isn’t “Standing on Business, but rather standing on the word’

Thy word have a hid in my heart that I may not sin against thee

It is in Luke 2 49

chapter - Jesus says…..”Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?”

Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem for the Festival of the Passover. Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. They Began looking for him, and could not find him.

Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers.

Why were you searching for me?…..“Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?”

I know y’all want to stand on business, but the scripture must be about my “Fathers House.”
