Jude 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort [you] that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

 

Seek the LORD Now, Seek His Face and LIVE!

 

(1 Chr 16:11 KJV)  Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.

 

(1 Chr 16:12 KJV)  Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

 

(1 Chr 16:29 KJV)  Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

 

(1 Chr 16:31 KJV)  Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.

 

We all do seem to be following mostly false priorities and even neglecting  everything these days except ourselves. We even neglect most of those things that are more important to God, even today, because we are so busy being worldly, even working hard on pleasing ourselves, pursuing, trying falsely to maintain our own selfish interests, and then when we will and do fail in this too, we lie and claim next even we were innocent, we were merely good persons, and we cannot understand what we had done now that was so really wrong, for after all we were also merely acting just like most of the other selfish, immoral persons in the world too.

 

I have often , often regretted that none one had shared me more of God's truth, God's will for us, not even in the church, on TV , radio, books, tapes now as well. I personally have sat in churches since the age of 5 and I I still rightfully do find it very disturbing that many churches and preachers do not teach, they do not preach wrongfully even the whole Gospel, the whole Godly truth.. they like it seems rather  to preach about money, prosperity, tithing, supporting the local church, the importance of the local Church leadership.. 

 

More importantly  I  believe the two things that Christians need today is to talk to Jesus every day to firstly know his will and to follow after it daily too for too many Christians, church workers are busy, still busy doing their own thing rather.

 

YOU MUST LOOK ON,  WAIT ON THE LORD, NOT THE PASTOR , OR MOM, OR DAD, OR FRIEND OR ANYTHING ELSE,

 

(John 12:46 KJV)  I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

 

(Mat 7:22 KJV)  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

 

(Luke 18:8 KJV)  I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

(Luke 18:9 KJV)  And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10  Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 11  The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12  I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 13  And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon 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 every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

(2 Cor 4:7 KJV) But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 8  We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.11  For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12  So then death worketh in us, but life in you. 13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; 14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. 15  For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.

 (2 Cor 4:16 KJV) For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18  While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

God clearly and specifically  did not say that if you abide in my local  church then you will next be blessed, prosperous, healthy? (Mat 15:9 KJV)  But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

 

Too many persons do have this need still  to be accepted by others,  their peers, the need to belong to a social club, an organization, to be part of something they can be proud off.. and that is how many of them now do end up still in the cults too.

 

It is clear that many people do also imply that one really has to stay actively involved in the local church to be spiritual, to work mostly in the local church too  and this is rather is too often pushed to extreme.. not the full  truth, the reality of God. 

 

For what he God has specifically said, says  was "if you abide in me", "abide in my love", holy spirit, "if you continue in my words and my words abide in you".. meaning thus abiding in a personal relationship with God personally

 

(John 15:4 KJV)  Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

 

(John 15:7 KJV)  If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

 

(John 15:10 KJV)  If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

 

(1 John 2:27 KJV)  But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

 

(1 John 2:28 KJV)  And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

 

Did you know that on the average in evangelical churches less than 24 percent of the persons in the local churches, attending regularly the churches are actually saved, meaning 76 percent of people going to local church still are not even saved.. they do not even know Christ personally yet.. we likely were once part of that group too? We did not take the time and effort to get to know Jesus better through our prayer and our daily eating of his word.

 

Many even Christian persons think that the day of judgment refers only to a judgment at the end of life, and  they gamble that God will overlook, forgive them cause he is a loving God..  they tend wrongfully still to still forget there now next are real, negative earthly days of jdugements, previews of what wwill happen next in heaven as well.

(Gal 6:7 KJV)  Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

 

(James 4:17 KJV)  Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

God is just, loving is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked not even on earth!

 

(Nahum 1:3 KJV)  The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. 4  He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.5   The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein. 6  Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him. 7 The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.8 But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.

 

BIBLE WRITERS MAKE IT VERY CLEAR THAT SPIRITUAL VACUUM, SPIRITUAL IGNORANCE, SPIRITUAL DESOLATION IS A RESULT OF DIRECT PERSONAL PUNISHMENT FROM GOD.

 

(Ezek 33:29 KJV) Then shall[1] they know that I am the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate because[2] of all their abominations which they have committed.

 

(Isa 64:11 KJV)  Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.

 

(2 Sam 1:27 KJV)  How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!

 

(2 Chr 29:9 KJV)  For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.

 

(Psa 36:12 KJV)  There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.

 

(Isa 3:8 KJV)  For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.

 

(Isa 14:12 KJV)  How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

 

(Num 21:6 KJV) And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

 

(Hosea 7:7 KJV)  They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.

 

(Hosea 14:1 KJV)  O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.

 

(Amos 5:2 KJV)  The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up.

 

(Rev 2:5 KJV)  Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

History often repeats itself and many cities, provinces, sates, countries find themselves in unexpected desolation next too. I too often still do hear bank managers, government leaders, news reporters make and write about their expected economic positive forecast which are quickly often devastated by earthly negative unexpected realties too. How come they missed they no had negatives? they were false ALSO REALY prophets.

 

(2 Cor 5:11 KJV) Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

 

(Rom 1:18 KJV) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

 

(Gal 6:7 KJV) Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap

Hebrews 3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end;

Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.  28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

Peter-2 2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.21  For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known [it], to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog [is] turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

 (1 John 1:9 KJV)  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

(1 John 1:10 KJV)  If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

(Num 21:8 KJV) And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.

(Num 21:9 KJV) And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

Too many of us also we are often so comfortable where we are  and we don't want to compromise our position in this world.

 

Luke 14:16-3516  Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: 17  And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. 18  And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. 19  And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. 20  And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. 21  So that servant came, and showed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. 22  And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. 23  And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. 24  For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.

 

(Luke 12:16 KJV) And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:17  And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 20But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

(Mat 13:22 KJV) He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

(Luke 21:34 KJV) And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

(Psa 39:6 KJV) Surely every man walketh in a vain show: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.

(1 John 2:15 KJV)  Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17  And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

(Rev 3:17 KJV) Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

YOU CAN ONLY GET THIS GOLD BY GIVING EVERYTHING TO CHRIST NOT HANGING ON TO THE WORLD OR WORLDLY FRIENDS AND HABITS BUT BY GIVING EVERYTHING

(Luke 22:42 KJV)  nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

 

(Mat 6:10 KJV)  Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

(Psa 51:12 KJV)  Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

(Psa 51:13 KJV)  Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

(Psa 51:14 KJV)  Deliver me from blood guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

(Psa 51:15 KJV)  O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall show forth thy praise.

(Psa 51:16 KJV)  For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.

(Psa 51:17 KJV)  The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

 We are all mostly so busy doing selfish that we are  neglecting the important priorities, we are being busy wrongfully pursuing the things in our lives related to  the false, temporarily things of this world.

(Micah 7:1 KJV)  Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit.  2  The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net. 3  That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up. 4  The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity. 5  Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. 6  For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house. 7  Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me. 8  Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.

(2 Tim 3:1 KJV) This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;5  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,7  Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

(Rom 16:18 KJV) For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

(Josh 7:12 KJV) Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.

(John 6:27 KJV) Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

"The problem with a lot of people today sitting in Churchs is they don't fear God, only man, and sometimes not even man. Even though the pastor tells them what God says they still choose to disobey God because they don't fear Him."

The right Priorities

a. And the most important thing still is God, maintaining our daily realtionship with him.

(Mat 22:37 KJV)  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.

b. Our work for God.. funny how most religious people still do leave  this out too! All Christians are still to work for God, they are his servants, his salves firstly and this is not optional too. The highest priority in Jesus Christ's life our example too was to serve his God not the things of this world

 It still often costs us personally many things  to serve God and we have to make up our minds if we really want to serve him or make another excuse, false diversion.

(Mat 6:33 KJV)  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

c. Our personal  Salvation means practising ourselves even what we preach to others as well

(Luke 3:8 KJV)  Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, 

d. Our Family next...

(1 Tim 5:8 KJV)  But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

(Eccl 7:17 KJV)  Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?

Often  we become even engulfed in our own little family and what we are doing as a family, that we are so busy taking care of all the things that come up we never have time to serve God. You can have the most fantastic home, be involved with little league, boy scouts, 4H, band, etc. And never have time to spend with Jesus or spend working in the Kingdom of God... and you still thus had wasted your life here on earth as a result.

(Luke 10:38 KJV) Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. 39  And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. 40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.41  And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:42  But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

e: Our Church, Christian fellowship as well

(Gal 6:10 KJV)  As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

f: Being also kind to our neighbours too

(Mat 22:39 KJV)  And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

(Luke 6:33 KJV)  And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.

(Eccl 3:1 KJV)  To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2  A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 3  A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4  A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5  A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6  A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7  A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8  A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

(Eccl 3:14 KJV)  I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

 

(John 8:32 KJV)  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.   33  They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 34  Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 35  And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. 36  If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

We mandatory still do need to get our above priorities correct in our lives to even effectively effect other lives for God or we never will and also just as bad we will reap the bad things we have done even here one earth next too and due to the items we have now neglected as well. Reality 

(Mat 28:8 KJV)  And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

(Luke 3:8 KJV)  Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 9   And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 10  And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? 11  He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. 12  Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? 13  And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you. 14  And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages. 

(Mat 10:37 KJV)  He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38  And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 39   He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.40   He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.41  He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. 42   And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

(Acts 1:8 KJV)  But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

(Mat 24:14 KJV)  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

(Acts 2:38 KJV)  Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

(Acts 3:19 KJV)  Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

(Acts 8:22 KJV)  Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.

(Acts 17:30 KJV)  And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

(Acts 26:20 KJV)  But showed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.

(Mat 18:12 KJV)  How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? 13  And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.14  Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. 15  Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16  But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17  And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as a heathen man and a publican. 18  Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19  Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. 20  For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

(Mat 12:11 KJV)  And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

 God has often told us to go to the still now lost brother, to evne the lost church, to the lost palce of work, to the lost  city and to tell them now also to repent like he told Jonah to do ,but we would rather run than do what God wants us to do even like Jonah.

(Jonah 1:2 KJV) Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.

(Jonah 1:3 KJV) But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.

Really do note this... There are spiritual, negative personal consequences for acting even like Jonah did now as well...

(Ezek 3:18 KJV)  When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

(Ezek 3:19 KJV)  Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

(Ezek 3:20 KJV)  Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

(Ezek 3:21 KJV)  Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.

(1 Cor 9:16 KJV)  For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!

The term " woe" is not a pleasant reward.. it certainly means calamities, hardships, negative personal consequences too.

(Jonah 1:17 KJV)  Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

(Jonah 2:1 KJV)  Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,

(Jonah 2:2 KJV)  And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.

(Jonah 2:3 KJV)  For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.

(Jonah 2:4 KJV)  Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

(Jonah 2:5 KJV)  The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.

(Jonah 2:6 KJV)  I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.

(Jonah 2:7 KJV)  When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.

(Jonah 2:8 KJV)  They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

(Jonah 2:9 KJV)  But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.

(Jonah 2:10 KJV)  And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.

(Jonah 3:1 KJV)  And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying,

(Jonah 3:2 KJV)  Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.

 Now it is not some mere man here  telling you their own opinion, it is here too rather God himself, I really do know this for I heard the very same verse from God when I was asking him about my conflicts, stresses I was facing in life... in fact there were about 5 verses God spoke to me in my own life that dramatically changed me.. including.. feed my sheep..  and 

(Rom 8:28 KJV)  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...  (Luke 18:1 KJV) And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;  (Prov 24:10 KJV) If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small... I heard this verse DIRECTLY TOO from God as well.. as well as (Heb 12:4 KJV)  Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.  (Gal 5:22 KJV)  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24  And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. -(Rev 21:4 KJV)  And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away..  (Heb 10:38 KJV)  Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. (Rev 3:19 KJV)  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent..  (Mat 6:33 KJV)  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34   Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.   (Isa 40:28 KJV) Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.2 9  He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.  (James 1:5 KJV)  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6   But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. (James 4:2 KJV)  Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. (Mat 4:4 KJV)  But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.   (Eph 6:11 KJV)  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. 13  Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14  Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16  Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18  Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 19  And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,  )

Jesus is not concerned AS MUCH ABOUT OUR past  personal failures but about what we are going to do with Him rather in the present, future.  

(Luke 22:31 KJV)  And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.  (John 21:15 ) So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. 16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

Getting personal Help. The first problem of anyone trying to get help personally is that most people see God as an instant Restaurant, a big Mac, where next you do go to God only when you have a major problem, when it is too late to do something good about it too it seems, and following after God daily rather is not a personal lifestyle to be had by many persons.. such a wrong view! Who to do? Pray to God alone and ask Him daily to lead you in the right way.

(Rom 12:1 KJV) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.  (James 1:23 KJV) For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25  But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

The power of the free will choice is a wonderful gift from God. It is laways still your choice to go on with God or without Him.

(Luke 17:32 KJV)  Remember Lot's wife.  33  Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. 34  I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. 35  Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 36  Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

(Isa 1:11 KJV) To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. 12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? 13  Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.14  Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.15  And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.16  Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; 17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. 18  Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

(1 Sam 15:22 KJV) And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 23  For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry

(Prov 16:25 KJV)  There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

 

(Hag 1:2 KJV)  Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD'S house should be built. 3  Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying, 4  Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled houses, and this house lie waste? 5  Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. 6  Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.  7  Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. 8  Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD. 9  Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house. 10  Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit. 11  And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.

 

According to the world standard's I was as successful, I had a nice home with four bedrooms, study, laundry room, two playrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen.. I was 28 years old had a wife and 3 children. I was a university graduate, working as a Professional Mechanical design engineer. I had a nice  car.. And yet God was not pleased, he even asked me to sell it all and to move, to next personally experience the hardship his people were experiencing elsewhere.  One of my best good Christian friend had a nice new home the  he built on the acreage, it had plenty of room, it was a large beautiful home too, it was set inn nice surroundings too, in the country.. and yet God took away the young mother at an early age of about 27 in a fatal accident, leaving behind a 3 year old son.. and when I prayed to God as to why.. God told me the home had become idolatrous, the wife and the home was leading the family away from God.  I used to also to think it was one's will option to leave all  to serve God fully here on earth.. it is not! Boy have I been wrong in a lot of things too.. like I used to believe one can not hear God personally speak to us clearly, vocally now as well.. I was really wrong even here too.

 

(Isa 30:15 KJV)  For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not. (Mat 23:11 KJV)  But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. (Mat 10:17 KJV)  But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; 18  And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. 19  But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.20   For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.21  And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. 22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.  (John 16:33 KJV)  These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Proverbs 3:5,6 "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."  Psalms 34:19 says, "Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth them out of them all." I Peter 5:8-9, Peter says, "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world."  Exodus 33:14.  "My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest."  Matt. 11:28-29."Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls." Isaiah 49:13-16. "Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the Lord hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.
