He Knows Everything

Word ~ Thought ~ Deed

Colossians 3:17 “ And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him”

By Your Words ..

   I heard this analogy a long time ago. That helps to paint a clear picture. . . Have you ever been to an old Library, one that has a card-ex, which was used to help find the book or old news papers, you want, these were used pre-computer. Well, in just imagine every day, every .. Thought – Word & Deed .. all been written down on a card. Imagine how many there would be? Now having done that times it by a week, a month, a life time. How big a room warehouse to house them all, is there one big enough? Or, for the younger generation, how many ‘terabytes’ would be needed to hold all this information?

Matthew 12:36/7 “ But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

   For instance … Whilst screaming at the car who cut you up .. Or .. that person who walks very slow and you get passed and in a rush .. Or .. When someone over charges you .. Or .. The Other person got promoted over you .. Or .. When you burn your mouth on hot food .. Or When your partner does not do what you want them too.  

# He Knows Everything #   

   Every Word you have uttered, these were just some instances, you might have said a regretful word. I know of a wealthy Businessman, he put some of his success down to pausing 10-15 seconds before ever replying. He did this so as his response’s were al2ways measured, so as never to give a ‘knee-jerk’ response because he did so much he became renowned for it in his business world.  

   Next time your in a heated debate, try this out and see how it helps to over come those ‘knee-jerk’ response. It could save a friendship or even a marriage, or Job.

There is no perfect day

   Don’t think that trying control what we say is a new fangled thing, as it is not. Hear what the Psalmist had to say, when he was lost and needed help .. 
Psalms 119:107 “I am afflicted very much; Revive me, O Lord, according to Your word”
… living by His word, following Gods direction, having God in all we say will profit you very much. Keeping your Words cool, will give you ultimate control in your life. We all aspire to be better, to do better in our lives, so don’t delay, as it is never too late to make a change in your life, young or old.

By Your Thoughts ..  

Psamls 64:6  “They devise iniquities: “We have perfected a shrewd scheme.” Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep”

Some days Words & Deeds are good but Thoughts

catch you out

 
Proverbs 23:7 “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he” This is so clear. The one thing the Lord is not, and that is grey. How perfect, no room for don’t. We know how we have fallen short of the Glory of God"
 
   We find ourselves out and an attractive lady/guy walks past, it may only be for 1 second, if only I was the same age. There goes another card added to the already burgeoning amount, so next time think of saying this ..’thank you for saving me’ and ‘Jesus I don’t won’t to think this way, please take these thoughts away’. And thank Him for giving you a perfect partner/Wife/Husband.

Today was not perfect but I’m saved

2 Timothy 1:12 “Nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day”
 
   OK, so you have some unpure thoughts, it’s what you do next that matters. You need to bind them up, in Jesus name, ask to be washed in Jesus blood, purified - washed – cleansed of bad thoughts as there is power in the name of Jesus.
 
   Christ our Lord will bless us, even though when we search deep within, we find ourselves wanting, and yet, He freely ~ happily ~willingly to give us His tender mercies day after day after day. Every Morning we should have a shout of praise & thanks giving upon our lips, whilst making Breakfast ~ Coffee/Tea ~ getting dressed ~ whilst taking the Children to school ~ shopping ~ whilst on our way to work even at work (you don’t have to take/sing aloud to Him). Are you getting the message yet?? Worship Him in ‘ALL’ things. Then you next thought will be to worship Him alone.
 
Psalms100:4 “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name”
Philippians 4:6 “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God”

By Your Deeds ..
Philippians 4:5 “Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand”
 
   It has sadly been proven, all too often that Christians, make the worst bosses/Managers/Owners of company’s. I feel they must think, that they have behave this way so that are not seen as weak ~ push-overs ~ soft. When they are really only shooting their testimony in the foot.
 
   Each day before leaving home, S T O P look yourself in the mirror, and ask God to help keep ‘your’ testimony in tact. By checking yourself before reacting to any given situation, will make sure your Deeds shine Gods light out from within you.
 
   Cause & Consequences:- Your late for work, your rushing, speeding down the road, you cut someone up, not giving them a second thought and carrying on your way/day. What you don’t realise is you have set someone up for a day of misery. It could result in them chasing you down, now resulting them being late for work, it’s now know as road rage.
 

# He Knows Everything # 

 
   You must take care, be mindful of your actions at ‘ALL’ times. Deeds are not helping old ladies across the road, deeds are making a cupa (hot drink- Tea Coffee Hot Chocolate) when not asked for Deeds are those only seen by God.
 
Colossians 3:15 “And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful”
1 Thessalonians 5:17/19 “pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 Do not quench the Spirit”
 
   As Christians the Wold holds us under a powerful micro-scope. Some have argued why us and not them? You see, they think they know many of our values, some from the movie of our Lord. So hence the think they know about being a Christian. What they don’t get is that we have ‘ALL’ fallen short of the glory of God.
 

Words ~ Thoughts ~ Deeds

 
   Wee need to take His light within us, so as when these ropes come to trip us up, then we can just step over, without falling foul. For those ‘unsaved’ we have to show Gods tender mercies, His lovingkindnesses, show better it is having God in your life, how more contented with life you become.
 
   I know not ‘all’ secular music is about .. Sex ~ Drugs ~ Guns ~ Suicide ~ Killing .. in contrast our Christian song are up lifting ~ Worshipping ~ Giving Thanks to god for saving us. Watch our videos of us openly worshipping our Lord and Saviour. Our faces filled with joy unspeakable, not contorted with vile rage.
 
   I claim not to be perfect, as only Jesus was/is, so don’t panic when you do trip up, because everyone will. It is what you do next, as in your heart God will know your intentions. I will leave you with my last thought for you to think on ….
 

# Thanks is the front door key like no-other for God #

 
Prayer
May you Lord See ~ Know & feel how we have taken your word into our hearts, and nurturing it to grow, help us map our lives with righteousness, in Jesus Christ our Lord’s name, Amen

 All is well

[[ This Word holds great importance to God as he pledges Canaan to Abraham ~ Isaac & Jacob repeatedly]]

Ps 37:16 “A little that a righteous man has Is better than the riches of many wicked”

   Over my years the number of times I have known those who have an abundance of riches, like Richard Branson, Simon Cowell, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Roman Abramovich and so so many more, but it does not make them happy, truly happy. I grant you it might give them a softer cushion to sit on. Yet they are still unhappy, and those who don’t have much, well the saying goes like this this … ‘As Happy as a Pig in muck’

Ps 37:17 “For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, But the Lord upholds the righteous”

   Let Gods Words bring peace unto your troubled mind ~ Body & Soul. Whilst we may not actually see His ‘Rath’, but … V1 “Do not Fret”. For He tells us ‘please try not to fret I have you’ .. ‘Don’t be silly they wont harm you’. He will not beg you to not worry, He tells NO, did you get that “N O weapon formed against you shall prosper”. (Isaiah 54:17) God always uses a language that can leave nothing but His intention clear to us …

# All Is Well #

   I know a family that were faced with a group of men, who had nothing but murder on their minds, some had Baseball bats, one of them had a large pistol. Yes, the family had were Christians, after the group of men fled once the police got close, after ward it found that they had not put the ‘dead-bolts’ in place. They prayed to God for help, I can inform you today they are well and living in a new place, safe. It is sad that this is not localised, it happens the World over. Those in the News at the moment are those in the USA ...

Isaiah 54:17 “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn”

… WOW, this verse alone will help to quench fear, helping you feel safer. There are actually many scriptures to help bringing about peace & serenity to the most troubled of minds. God never minces His Words, Firstly to let us know that He has our ‘Six’. Secondly: He will do with those fears you have. It might be right there and then, today, or even next month, but “Fret not” For god always wants us to give ‘ALL’ our worries over to Him …

… Whether they be ..

• Paying the Bills .. like

• Paying the .. Mortgage

• Paying the .. Car & Repairs

• Paying the .. School bills

• Paying the .. Holiday payments

• Paying the .. Credit cards.

… These are but some of the bills everyone faces yearly. With the state of the World Pandemic ‘Covid19’. Now new worries are being found …

• Can I work from Home?

• How much money will I be paid?

• When I the Children going back to School?

• What state will their education be in?

   I’ll stop here because as this will depress you more than you might already be. I’m not here to do this, but simply to tell you “Do not Fret”, as we have god on our side for guidance. So please with Faith that God will give you peace in these hard times.

# All Is Well #

Ecclesiastes 8:12&13 “Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him. 13 But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God”

   So those who read or hear His word. There are so many translations, to choose from, of the Bible, might I be as bold to recommend ‘The New King James’ version to be your first, because it’s language is closest to the Earliest translation, in ‘The King James’. Before going to other such as …

• NIV .. New Internation Version

• TM .. The Message

• NLT .. New Living Translation

• AMP .. Amplified Version

… and so the list goes on. The above are just some of the more popular versions.

   One of my last portions of scripture comes from one of the shortest Psalms.

Ps 23:1-3 “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake”

   No matter how mentally, or physically tired ~ worn out ~ run done ~ burnt out. God and only He can give you the healing that is needed.

# All Is Well with my Soul #

   I can go on with man many more scriptures, I want you to surround yourself with His Word, as I have shown here, also have fellowship with other Christians.

May God keep you and support you during this time

of great trials. Amen

(PT1 of 2)

All is Well

   When you hear the cry .. All is well .. would you think of an Army Century at his post letting everyone know there are no new attacks, also letting others know your approaching the Century your a friend. Or, telling your family that you have no new illnesses, like Covid19 or Cancer. There is no taste quite like fresh food (even Vegetables), especially if have grown them yourself ..
Psalm 128:2 “When you eat the labour of your hands, You shall be happy, and it shall be well with you.”
… if you have ever grown your own produce or herbs, youy’ll know how better they taste than shop bought. The thing is you don’t need a farm or garden, just need a box and a kitchen window.

Ecclesiastes 8:12 “Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him”

v13 “But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God”

   Illness is surly one of humanity’s greatest robbers of fun ~ Energy ~ Happiness, and so much more, even to loosing loved one’s. But stop, it does not have to be, Christ gave us life .. “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” .. (John 10:10) .. come on now who would not want that? I know what I’m going to tell you next, many may argue against me for putting this. . . If Jesus, like myself who 20yrs in of broken my spine, and yet still not healed, don’t tell me God does not care, as He does. Try to think of as I try to do, ‘may be your not healed because He wants to use us as we are to witness to others’.
   

   As Christians we would have read/heard of the story where this father leave his sick son to go in search of Jesus, as he is told our Lord was near his home. . . .
John 4:47/53 “When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. 48 Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe.” 49 The nobleman said to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies!” 50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your son lives.” So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way. 51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, “Your son lives!” 52 Then he inquired of them the hour when he got better. And they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.” 53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” And he himself believed, and his whole household”
… Jesus must have been very frustrated, just by the language .. “you people” .. Jesus must have thought to himself ‘my message is not getting across here’, ‘do they think I’m a court jester, performing tricks & illusions for their entertainment’? Was all that God did for nought? He must have been pulling His hair out by now, I know I would have. 
   God is only asking us to have ‘Faith and Believe or Believe because you have Faith’. That is as simple as it is. In the morning let God know that He is Believed, because He has kept you and your loved ones safe over night, so tell Him …

# All is Well #

   Our Lord God will keep you safe, I was unable to find a better portion of Gods word that shows us to ‘Believe & have Faith’ than that of Psalms 37. The language there is so simple a child of 5yrs old could grasp. From the getgo .. V1”Donot fret” .. The Apostle John wrote in 1 John 4:4 4 “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world” .. with God in us all things are possible.

# All is Well #

Psalms 37: 2 “For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb”

   Surly after reading this who could not help to feel more safe; secure and happier. When understand and fully grasp this, fully believe this, NO one can stand against us, so hold you head up high.

   The greatest thing is to have Faith in God guidance. He will always equip us with all the tools needed to over come any hurdles we are faced with .. Never look to anyone else .. I want for you to read this next portion of scripture a couple of time over, so that it goes in and sticks ...
37:3&4 “Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.”

WOW WOW WOW

… who would not want to do this. On this scripture alone, should have you running around with a smile as wide as the English Channel. I was once asked how in your darkest hours I seemed to find the good out of such a dark place? But it was not me, but Christ’s light, His strength is my strength, of which I give thanks for daily, He is the lamp unto my feet.

# All is Well #

   When we fret we start to our eyes off of Jesus. Then start to burn wasteful energy, instead of giving our worries over to Him. . .
37:12&13 “The wicked plots against the just, And gnashes at him with his teeth. 13 The Lord laughs at him, For He sees that his day is coming.”

   If you have ever watched a War movie, you would have heard them being told to .. ‘watch your six’ .. In other words .. ‘make sure there is no one sneaking up from behind’. God has us covered on ‘ALL’ sides, so “fret not”

Deuteronomy 8:1 “Every commandment which I command you today you must be careful to observe, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers.”

# All is Well #

Prayer

We worship Him in the highest, because we know the truth, let you soul sing for joy, because your free and in whom the Son sets free is free indeed. May His word be planted in your heart and produce fruit in abundance.

One Thing Lacking pt 1 of 2

 55:030621

One Thing Lacking

“Lord by thy grace I have made my chance. In thy salvation

I rejoice. I was empty, I’m empty still. Thy full salvation dath

(does) fill me. Transient are all things that move, but thine is

everlasting love”

-Grosart

(PT1 of 2)

(NKJ) Luke 18:18/30 “..Jesus Counsels the Rich Young Ruler
18 Now a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”19 So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. 20 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ ‘Honour your father and your mother.’ ”21 And he said, “All these things I have kept from my youth.”22 So when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”23 But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich..”

With God All Things Are Possible 24 “..And when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, He said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God! 25 For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”26 And those who heard it said, “Who then can be saved?”27 But He said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”28 Then Peter said, “See, we have left all and followed You.”29 So He said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, 30 who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life..”

~ Jesus is equal to the need of all ~

   The above statement is one we all need to tell ourselves often till it is something has become part of understanding of what Jesus can do for us.

   In the TV series called ‘HI-di-Hi’. A slogan called out to all the campers every morning, then the campers call it out back. This would happen often throughout the day. This is a fictional TV series that has a laugh at many camps of the time, 1950’s on. The call was to let the campers know they are part of the family for their time there.

   We need to say the above often, first thing in the morning and last thing at night before we close our eyes to sleep. In this study I will look at (6) six points …

(PT1 of 2) I) An Important Question … II) A Searching Inquiry  III) An Honest Confession … 

(PT2 of 2) IV) A Testing Command   V) A Sorrowful Result … VI) A Forcible Application

I) An important Question
V18 “what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
   There is no question more important for any young Christian than this. It is clear to see that ‘Earthly-riches’ will not buy the same standard of life, when join our Lord and Saviour in Heaven. The Egyptians were big believers in bringing their wealth with themselves, sorry guys but your wealth is still here. The question still remains ‘What do you do’? Here’s one of the easiest ways …
John 3:15&16 “that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

   God felt it so important, that He told us this twice over here. So why has this been so missed, in today’s message in Church. It wonderful to see a man, while revealing in his Worldly prosperity, he was so rich and could afford any luxury in life, but all was for nought, he now knows it all stays here for someone else. V23 “But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich..” You can’t but a better 2nd life, he now has realised that Salvation is a matter between Christ Jesus alone and our own souls.

II) A searching inquiry
v19 “So Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me good?”
   We all have fallen short of the Glory of God, for as much as we try we will fail, why? Because at the end of the day we are Earthly, and will so behaive accordingly. Try thinking of this picture if you will, you are awake after a wonderfully restful sleep, singing songs of worship whilst having breakfast, before the kids go off to school, and your partner leaves for work. You have never been so happy or revitalised. NO other is going to spoil this day, your soul at peace & happy. You feel a new strength, you have not a swear word in your thoughts, when suddenly whilst driving into work someone cuts you up nearly making you crash. Then B A N G you get hit in the side of the car, as the other driver runs a red light.

After the air bags deflate, you were luck and your only shook up a little, as they hit the passenger side of the car, luckily you had just dropped off the kids at schools. When …

... S N A P ...

… YOU jump out of the car, as you think of how badly the kids could have been hurt. You charge over to the other driver, screaming a bunch of swear words, telling them in no uncertain terms what you think of them.

   Now, all that serenity you had before leaving home has just evaporated, gone. Our Lord would have us understand that He deals not only with the language of the tongue, but also the deeper motives of the heart, NO matter how good we try to be, we will always fail.
V19 “So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.”

   When we come to Jesus about the matter of ‘Eternal-life’, we must come with purpose of heart, (in other words you are fully committed in your words & actions), believing that Jesus is like God divine, and He is the way, the truth, and the life.

Surely you believe this, don’t you?

III) An Honest Confession
V21 And he said, “All these things I have kept from my youth.”

   For sure this ruler was truthfully sincere when he said this as he knew nothing against himself. In today’s society it can be very hard to find someone who can be both humble also honest about themselves. There can be a peace of conscience that is not the ‘Peace-of-God’. All be it that there is for sure a character of justice, as seen in the sight of the law, although not justified in the sight of God, as it is written.
Galatians 3:11 “But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.”

   In Galatians 3: 10/14, goes onto talk about how christ came to release us from “the curse of the Law”. So there should be within us a sence of freedom, but a good balance of what is now acceptable. V14 gives much clarity for those in doubt .. “that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”

   Due to the demands put upon them because of the law, it was broken time after time, demands that NO one was able to keep. To finish this is must be said that … “though His (death upon the cross) Christ Jesus died for us, this was what we could do for ourselves”.
Galatians 3: 10/14 “10For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.” 11 But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.” 12 Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.”13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”

All Christians should know accept & believe planted deep within our hearts that .. “without faith it is impossible to please Him”. It is the one simple thing God asks of us …
Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” ... There is a misconception that just doing good works/deeds is enough to get into Heaven. Sorry not good enough ! The story of the Pharisees who went up to pray and many good works, but he was destitute of faith, in the stoning sacrifice.

Luke 18:11-14 “The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’ 13 And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

We lay all our burdens at the foot of the cross, as through all Him all things are possible. God bless your words to our hearts may these seeds grow to be like a mighty Oak tree. Part 2 follows next week, so don't miss it.
