Let Us Remain Faithful To God.
Fresh Start.
Let us Be Faithful this year.
Im not implying you where not faithful last year
But if your like me you can see lots of areas we can improve
Like Prayer
Or Bible study
Church Attendance
Worship
Giving. Tithes and offering or Time
Lots of people start off the year with new years resolutions
But I think those are good But I think the best resolution we could make is i’m going to be faithful to God and work in Building his Church and see Souls Saved.
Be Faithful.
Let us plan on being in that faithful number
How to be a Overcomer
1 John 5:3–5 KJV 1900
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
1 John 5:13–15 KJV 1900
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
God’s Will Our Desires
Romans 8:26–28 KJV 1900
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Matthew 22:37–40 KJV 1900
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Sometimes we want something that we pray thinking that is the thing that would complete our life help in our life would be the thing we need in life but then we get it weather it’s God answer a pray that we prayed many times or we went and sinned to get what we want then we find out it really wasn’t what we wanted or needed it just caused a lot of trouble.
if sin then it caused so much pain in your life and others because sin always effects the people in your life.
so it’s best to pray and ask God for what you think you need or want and
Ask him if it’s not his will or it will bring harm to your life your soul to take that desire away from you and give you Gods desire for what is right in your life because what God gives you will be right and it will cause joy and peace in your life Pray Gods will and Gods desire in our life that’s a much better way to go because what we want and desire is many times lead us into a bad decision even tho God allows what ever it is we then have many regrets and sorrow But Gods plan just letting him give us what he wants to give us and being content with that praying to just be content.
Enjoy what we have is a much better way to go trust God that you have what he wants you to have Joy comes from that.
Pray to be content
Pray to enjoy right where your at
Pray that you and I allows God to make us content to enjoy right now and enjoy this moment
And how things are as Paul said I’m content in every place of my life don’t look for change look for Gods perfect will right now ask God what he wants for you ask God to give you his Desires His blessings the scripture says if our ways please the Lord God he will give you the desires of your Heart.
Philippians 4:11 KJV 1900
11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
1 Timothy 6:6–8 KJV 1900
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
Now sinful things you always regret
Sin always gets you in trouble and out of Gods presence and causes your life a lot of pain
Romans 6:23 KJV 1900
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Yes God forgives sin but the consequences of sin are deep and painful and many times they come up through out our life
1 John 1:7–10 KJV 1900
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
So what do we do
pray for Gods will pray for contentment pray for peace in your soul pray for God to help you enjoy what he sends in your life
Hezekiah is going to die
2 Kings 20:1–7 KJV 1900
1 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. 2 Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the Lord, saying, 3 I beseech thee, O Lord, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. 4 And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the Lord came to him, saying, 5 Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the Lord. 6 And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake. 7 And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.
This is a divine date. If each one of us knew the exact time we would die, would it not change our way of living? Even many Christians say, “Death is way off yonder in the future. I won’t worry about it now.” Well, we may not worry about it, but we ought to live knowing that death will be the ultimate goal.
Many years ago when a fine young minister was told by his doctor that he had a recurrence of cancer and his days were limited, he sent out a letter to some of his friends. I was privileged to be included in that list and I was shaken when I read his letter. Let me give you an excerpt from it: “One thing I have discovered in the last few days. When a Christian is suddenly confronted with the sentence of death, he surely begins to give a proper evaluation of material things: my fishing gear, and books, and orchard are not nearly so valuable as they were a week ago.” With that in mind, let us look at Hezekiah’s experience.1
1 McGee, J. V. (1991). Thru the Bible commentary: History of Israel (1 and 2 Kings) (electronic ed., Vol. 13, pp. 271–272). Thomas Nelson.
Hezekiah prayed for God to give him more years of life and God gave him 15 more but trouble came
2 Kings 20:8–11 KJV 1900
8 And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the Lord the third day? 9 And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the Lord, that the Lord will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees? 10 And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees. 11 And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the Lord: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.
Hezekiah prayed for God to give him more years of life and God gave him 15 more but trouble came
Hezekiah was going to die He prays and God Heals him Gives him 15 more years. ( Permissive Will of God) God had already said what needed to happen Just because God allows us to do something does not mean it is his perfect will.
Ephesians 3:20 KJV 1900
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Eve and Adam let there desires change from walking with God and enjoying What God gave them to wanting more that always causes us harm and we do sinful things many times to achieve that
Genesis 3:3–5 (KJV 1900)
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.
4 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.
Genesis 3:6–7 KJV 1900
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Cain thought he needed to get rid of his brother Abel because he was in the way so he got in such a rage he killed his brother I think he regretted that many times and wished that would have never happened it caused him great trouble and grief
Genesis 4:5–8 KJV 1900
5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. 6 And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. 8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
The people that had lots of trouble but was doing Gods will where the most fulfilled and had joy in there life
Like Paul he suffered many things but ran to be martyred to be with his Lord
We can never go wrong just praying Gods will and asking God to give you peace and joy right where you are at
Anything that we do outside of Gods plan and will for us will always cause pain and regret
Romans 8:28 KJV 1900
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:31–32 KJV 1900
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
Things we deal with are
Discontentment
Regrets
Desires. Good or sinful
Our decisions
Are we trusting the arm of the Flesh or God.
Ephesians 6:10–12 KJV 1900
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Proverbs 10:22 (KJV 1900)
Proverbs 10:22 KJV 1900
22 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, And he addeth no sorrow with it.
