We ought to live in such manner resembling a burning light, knowing that we block any whiff that may turn it off.In our spiritual lives we must never relax even to give in to the sinful pleasures of the flesh, for in that moment 's separation , disaster may strike when the Lord returns only to find us embracing and fondling the whore of darkness.
Surplus comes from God.The purpose of His abundant supply however, is NOT for me BUT for us.When it is for me, problems arise in the form of greed, wanton desire, selfishness, self righteousness etc.
Ravins are a nasty bird God feeds them and He looks at us as much better than the fowls.. That is quite a Blessing there. Then God goes on to say oh ye of little faith V.28 inLuke12.God has set us in heavenly places with Him . Quite an adjustment I would say. We I have no reason to lack faith other than I am not in the Word of God as I should be. My mind is renewed daily be reading the Word of God.
God will provide for those who trust and call on Him. He is rich in His mercy toward those who love and serve Him. God knows what we need, and in His time, will provide according to His riches in glory. We must be patient, have faith and never doubt God 's care for those who are serving His Son Jesus.
Yea this verse I think Jesus meant coinciding with many of these pastors in the world raising their lineups of Dark Angels. I think Jesus maybe means show respect BUT also get them out of your way because they will triple stack God if be and cast them all the same direction just for control purposes.
I work at times so hard to attain and all I have to do is Trust God His Word and Rest in Confidence that he is doing what He said He would do and already has done. Much of the time all I have to do is look into His word and find out what God has already done Take it at face value and believe it and stand on it and receive it. God has already done what He said !!!!
God is my Life with out him I would be a mess in all of the things going on in my life. So yes i will seek the kingdom of god first before I look for any thing else in my life God is the love of my world.
years i prayed for understanding first thing i read after beong granted undestandind was you cannot share it not to say you cant try but it is something that cannot he learned atudied shared or exchanged and it is futile to try to interpert because thats it you cannot doesnt need interperting also understanding cant be learned talked shared exchsnged simply becsuse it must be sought by each indiviual with dillegeance of heart really it is that simple
He is talking about believers and non believers in this verse. You probaly will never hear a preacher quote:
51Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
very good scripture gods word convicts the heart the believer has forgiveness and loves god the word was and is god the holy spirit is our comforter as children of god we want to please god that is what seperates believers from unbelievers farther,son,holyspirit is all one
My understanding of this word is to always remember who God is in our lives.The Creatorof Heaven and Earth,the Alpha and Omega,the I am that I am,our Healer,Deliverer and His name is above all names the wise fear Him only fools doesn.t

What appears to me that the Author of Life stands to address is to explain what life is.I think no one knows it better than Him for scripture refers to Him as Author of Life.Sometimes definition of a thing is difficult and option in the face of such dilemma is to describe the concept or a thing itself and this is done by elimination and substitution methods.The method used by Author of Life in that weighty expression is elimination method.He is saying that 'when defining what life means,start with this radical approach:remove from your thoughts and calculation POSSESSIONS'!In the world and its system,they have their measuring indexes of different things including LIFE.But as far as the Author of life is concerned,where the world ends its calculation(that is POSSESSIONS) of what life should mean should be our initial point of separation and departure.We use things in the Kingdom not vice versa.Jesus leaves us to look for meaning of life outside property possession whether in tangible or intangible because they are not part of 'universal set' of what life is.So wealth is a misguided index of what life is.God bless you.see Matt.6:25-34, Jn 10:10.
The verses that I believe to be very important are when the Lord tells us not to worry. what good does it do? Trust in the Lord and all will be well with our SOUL! Our body is just on earth a short while.
The lord of that servant will come at a time when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not ready for him, and he will have him cut in two and will give him his part in the fate of those who have no faith;

I believe that the Christian who know God's word but are not prepared to do for His kingdom, play foolishly, waste their time to enjoy worldly and or busy for Him, and act like unbelievers, even though they know His word. They have a responsible but ignore His command, Word. They don't look up forward to Him. Then Jesus will cut them off to put with the unbelivers, hypocrites, and unfaithful. They will receive some stripes to beat in Hell. A verse said that without work faith is dead. Do you agree? Thanks, Susanne
i think,after reading a lot of commentary on this and other various scriptures regarding actual HARD SACRIFICE to be a christian,that i never knew people could be so clever when attempting to change what jesus said into something more convienant.it is almost laughable how christians want to fool themselves into thinking that they can get fat and comfy and sail on into heaven in an easy chair.jesus was a very UNambigous speaker.talk about when he gets to separating the sheep from the goats...!there is gonna be some surprised people who have been fooling themselves to a very unpleasant end.

he always shows the love n care of jesus
i like to read it
