Good Morning Monday...
Father Thank You for this NEW Day. Please grant us TRUTH, WISDOM, DISCERNMENT, UNDERSTANDING, and KNOWLEDGE. Father we ask this so that we will not be conformed to this world, but TRANSFORMED by the renewing of our MINDS. In YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST'S Name. Amen. - Whose Instruction Will We Follow? - The Choice Is Ours There are some conversations that we may not like to have. It can be pretty uncomfortable for us to talk about a subject like hell, or pagan practices of this earth, or the unclean things this world has made to seem “normal” with someone. If you ask the world at large, they may even tell you how foolish the concept of a hell is, how if “Jesus is in your heart” we can do whatever we want, or how “we can’t keep the commandments.” Then they will proceed to tell you that a "Loving God" wouldn't send people to hell. They may go on to explain that they put their faith in "science" and "logic," or how they can’t trust a book written by “man.”These people of the world haven't read The Bible. If they have... they didn't "hear" it. “But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty” I Corinthians 1:27 The explanation of hell, avoiding pagan things of this world, or fleeing from evil isn't just doctrine. Do you know who spoke about our English translation of “hell” more than any other person in The Bible? None other than The Word of God Himself, Yeshua, Jesus Christ. Not Paul, not Peter, not John either, but The King...God. “But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4 Make no mistake, Jesus speaking, about what we call “hell,” was, is, and always will be about Love. The world at large may try to "logic" or "science " away The Truth, but The Truth Lives, and He Lives Forever. 🔥 Hell, Hades, or Sheol may be real, but Our Loving Father's gift of choice is real as well. Our Father, kind and loving, leaves us choices to make. He calls us closer to Him so that we may know True Love. He invites and urges us to Love Him. He even submitted Himself to a fallen world and allowed abuses to be heaped upon Him, which He did not have to allow, because He Loved Us First. We should have no doubt that He allowed these things to happen because He Loved us first, and... He desires for us to Love Him back. This servant has learned that God Our Father never forces us to Love Him or do good, He Is... A Complete Gentleman. We can find a “cloud of witnesses” in His Word where He shows us how He longs for us to Love Him, have a relationship with Him, and Do Good. If He forced us, if we didn’t have a choice, it wouldn't be True Love. In Scripture, Our Father goes above and beyond, from Genesis to Revelation, to show us how much He Loves Us. This servant is here to tell you and can be a witness, His Love Is True. Our Father and Our Savior lay out the benefits, shows us He Is True To His Word, explains all His Promises, and then in a very concise manner communicates The Choice, and... the consequences involved. Our God and Father Gives Us All These Things and then... The Choice Is Ours. The Choice?... The Instruction of God Almighty or... the gods of this world? Which will you choose today? “But if it is bad in your eyes to serve Yahweh, choose for yourselves today whom you want to serve, whether it is the gods that your ancestors served beyond the river, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my household, we will serve Yahweh.” Joshua 24:15 The Everlasting Word of El Shaddai (God Almighty): “Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you obey the commandments of The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) your God which I command you today; and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) your God, but turn aside from The Way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.” Deuteronomy 11:26-28 “Therefore be careful to observe them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes, and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’ “For what great nation is there that has God so near to it, as The LORD (YHWH,Yahweh) our God is to us, for whatever reason we may call upon Him? And what great nation is there that has such statutes and righteous judgments as are in all this law (Instruction) which I set before you this day?” Deuteronomy 4:6-8 “Yahweh says, “Don’t learn the way of the nations, and don’t be dismayed at the signs of the sky; for the nations are dismayed at them. For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the ax. They deck it with silver and with gold. They fasten it with nails and with hammers, so that it can’t move. They are like a palm tree, of turned work, and don’t speak. They must be carried, because they can’t move. Don’t be afraid of them; for they can’t do evil, neither is it in them to do good.” Jeremiah 10:2-5 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— The Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.” John 14:15-18 “Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:19 “Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.” Matthew 11:11 “At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.” Matthew 18:1-5 “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,” Hebrews 12:1 “God Is Love.” 1 John 4:16 Please leave any questions, comments, insights, Biblical Nuggets, encouragement, or thoughts in the comments below.
