Part 2 - Improve your life! 5 y
** Ultimately God is your source, trust Him. **
Self-centeredness and greed:
LUKE 6:17-49
This verse reveals one of God’s cardinal laws that will work in the spiritual realm, as well as the physical world. Just as we ”give” seed into the ground to receive back many seeds, so it is with everything we give.
Whether it’s money, possessions, an emotion such as love or hate, prayers, or our time, we will reap a harvest of whatever we give. We reap exactly what we sow and proportional to the same measure that we give
(Gal. 6:7-8).
”He which soweth sparingly shall also reap sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall also r ... read more Part 1 - Improve your life: 5 y

Part 1 - your life improvement:
Too many people today are being dominated and controlled by the Mass Electronic Computerized system. This tends to channel their thoughts and ideas to a rather limited field of knowledge. But you say how about the Internet and other social media?
Working many years, in the technical fields, using general life facts and happenings - my forte of knowledge which can be applied to life has expanded. As a student of history, geography, physics, electronics, most of the general things in life {Cooking, Health, Finances, Engineering, Ba ... read more He is all you need Him to be 5 y
** Jesus never associated Himself with His disciples by using the plural pronoun "our" Father. Rather, He always used the singular "my" Father, since His relationship was unique and eternal, whereas theirs was by grace and regeneration. **

John 5:18, ”Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the Sabbath but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.”
JOHN 5:16-27
When the Jewish authorities heard Jesus call God ”my (own) Father”,
they immediately understood that Jesus claimed for Himself deity in the highest possible sense of that term. That claim was either blasphemy, to be punished by death, or else Jesus was who He claimed to be.

** Although God is not imputing our sins unto us, we cannot afford the luxury of sin because it allows Satan to have access to us. **
It’s our nature.
John 5:14, ”Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.”
JOHN 5:1-15
In saying this, Jesus shows that sin causes the tragedies that come into our lives. The reason for holiness in the life of the believer is that when we obey sin, we yield ourselves to Satan, the author of that sin. Yielding to sin is yielding to a person - Satan. God doesn’t impute the sin to us but the devil does. Our actions either release the power of Satan or the power of God in us.

** Today, the church world basically accepts the forgiveness of sins but doubts His willingness to heal. They were never meant to be separated. *8
Mark 2:5, ”When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.”
MATTHEW 9: 1-8, MARK 2: 1-12, LUKE 5: 17-26
Faith can be seen. Just as Jesus explained to Nicodemus in John 3:8, faith is like the wind. Faith itself is invisible, but saving faith is always accompanied by corresponding actions which can be seen (Jas. 2:17-26).
It was not only the faith of the paralytic that Jesus saw, but also that of his four friends (Mk. 2:3). This demonstrates the effect our intercession in faith can have upon others. Jesus saw their fait ... read more This and that? 5 y

Our time and talents are so often wasted by those who are supposed to be directing the interest of the people in the right direction!
Most politicians hate the real facts. They like to play with the truth and make laws to suit their system of control. That way they keep the general public in a turmoil and have them seeking more laws for protection. Once you forget that Almighty God made humans with the power to decide what is best for themselves - but the ”Controllers” only want domination by having everyone in fear and confusion! That way the lib-socialist have total control! Everyone else are just mere vassals or slaves or pawns to the state!

Living in the Balance of Grace and Faith
Have you wondered why, after trying so hard, you’re still not receiving from God? Or are you getting frustrated that, despite your best efforts, you’re not seeing the fruit of Christianity?
You might even be like many Christians who have tried different churches, confessing the Word, tithing, praying, or even fasting, yet with no results. These are all symptoms of an imbalance of grace and faith.
Grace and faith are often seen as opposing forces in the body of Christ. But grace and faith are both essential ingredients in our walk with ... read more What is more valuable or important than knowing Him? 5 y

Matthew 6:21, ”For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”
MATTHEW 6:19-21
If isolated from the rest of God’s Word, there are some scriptures that could be interpreted to mean that having money or wealth is wrong. However there are other scriptures that speak of riches as a blessing. The harmony between these two apparently opposite positions is that money is neither good nor bad. It is the love of money that is the root of all evil, and many have committed the sin of loving money who don’t even have a ... read more The world’s most murderous malware 5 y

** Freedom vs. Domination **
The world is pushing evil, by not teaching the truth about history! As a student of History, I see many things which are pushed upon the general public which is wrong or twisted to say things other than what actually happened! Yet certain {evil controllers} want to push the false history to get their way.
A couple of years back a young man from the Congo, came by our house in the darkness of Fall selling.

Have you ever wondered how and why SIN entered the world?

The key to understanding of or about the human race, is that we were each given the freedom of choice. Even with all sins done by humans = we were given the choice of obedience by following or not!

Do we opt to interact with other humans as little as possible and rely on technology as the go-between?
As a teacher who has long witnessed and worried about the impacts of technology in the classroom, I constantly struggle to devise effective classroom policies for smartphones.
I used to make students sing or dance if their phones interrupted class, and although this led to some memorable moments, it also turned inappropriate tech use into a joke. Given the myriad deleterious effects of phones – addiction, decline of face-to-face socialisation, deskilling, and endless distraction, for starters –
I want students to think carefully about their phone habits, rather than to mindlessly ... read more Recognize God in your life

** Recognize God in your life
Although God was referred to as ”our Father” 13 times in the Old Testament, Jesus’ frequent use of this title brought a whole new understanding of our relationship with God. Jesus referred to God as His father over 150 times, and He spoke of God as being our father 30 times. This infuriated the religious Jews of Jesus’ day who considered it blasphemy to call God their father, because they understood that to mean they were equal with God (Jn. 5:17-18).

** God loves a cheerful giver - not one who gives grudgingly or out of debt (2 Cor. 9:7). **
Matthew 6:1, ”Take heed that you do not give your alms before men, to be seen by them: otherwise you have no reward from your Father which is in heaven.”
MATTHEW 6:1-4
The motive behind our gift is more important than the gift itself. Paul said if he gave all of his goods to feed the poor, or if he made the ultimate sacrifice of giving his own life for someone else, and wasn’t motivated by love, his gift would profit him nothing (1 Cor. 13:3).
Many Christians give faithfully but never see the hundredfold return that the Lord promised because of wrong motives (Mk. 10:29-30).

Let God defend you today.
Matthew 5:39, ”But I say unto you, That you resist evil: but whosoever shall smite you on your right cheek, then turn to him the other cheek also.”
MATTHEW 5:38-48
Which would you rather have - God defending you, or you defending yourself? That’s the choice that Jesus is offering us here. ”Turning the other cheek” is not a prescription for abuse but rather the way to get the Lord involved in your defense.

Matthew 6:1
Note on Matthew 6:1
This is saying that the motives behind our actions are more important than the actions. This is the same point of 1 Corinthians 13:1-3. If the motive for our good works is the praise of men, then the little pat on the back that we get from people is all the reward we will get. We will miss out on God’s blessing.
