BEST service to the WORLD

 

Isaiah 58:10

King James Version

10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, 

and satisfy the afflicted soul; 

then shall thy light rise in obscurity, 

and thy darkness be as the noon day:

What could be our BEST service to the world?

For my part, here's what I figured out.

My best service is in SHARING the WORD of GOD with you.

I've shared 41 blogs, hundreds of posts, and 24 books with you.

These are all Scripture-based, guided by the SPIRIT of GOD.

Through that, you know who JESUS is.

You know that He is the SON of GOD.

You know that He is the MESSIAH.

You know that He was crucified, died, was buried, and rose on the third day.

You know that we have ETERNAL LIFE, if we believe in JESUS.

You know GOD is a SPIRIT.

You know how GOD created heaven and earth.

You know the original sin from Adam and Eve.

You know all the things GOD hates.

You know how much GOD loves us.

You know that believers are saved.

You know that only the HOLY SPIRIT can teach us.

You know how important it is to be born again.

You know the ways, the will, the truth of GOD.

You know why the world is the way it is.

You know the world hates believers.

You know GOD is the ONLY TRUE POWER.

You know that JESUS showed us how to love GOD.

You know that JESUS showed us perfect love, and obedience.

You know that JESUS asked we love others, as He loved us.

You know that the only thing that will remain is the WORD of GOD.

You know that the RAPTURE is imminent.

You know that only GOD decides when to send JESUS for the faithful.

You know that after the RAPTURE, comes the TRIBULATION.

You know that we are saved by FAITH, through GRACE.

You know we cannot boast about good works.

You know that there are many antichrists and false prophets in the world now.

You know that we must be born again, born of water, and of the SPIRIT.

You know JESUS is the way, the truth, and the life.

You know that good and evil were allowed by GOD, for the angels will separate the wheat from the tares in the end.

You know that believers have ETERNAL LIFE.

You know that ALL of us have sinned.

You know that JESUS asks we repent, and believe the GOSPEL.

You know that we are to LIVE by the BIBLE.

You know that there will be a new JERUSALEM.

You know that there will be no more suffering on that day.

You know that GOD chose ISRAEL as His holy nation.

You know that all who fight ISRAEL will be destroyed by GOD.

You know that GOD gave us the BREATH of LIFE.

You know that life is but a vapor, gone in an instant.

You know that we will all return to dust.

You know that when we die, our spirit goes back to GOD.

You know that life is more than meat, or raiment.

You know that everything of the world is vanity.

You know that ONLY JESUS matters.

I knew all that from the Bible.

Only the WORD of GOD can save us.

For it holds GOD's TRUTH.

It holds the TEACHINGS of JESUS.

It carries prophecy.

It tells us of things to come.

It tells us the end, from the beginning.

It tells us about GOD.

Are you a believer?

That JESUS is the SON of GOD?

That He was RESURRECTED on the THIRD day?

If you wish to know JESUS, or the WILL of the FATHER, please pray.

That's really all you have to do.

PRAY to KNOW GOD.

And watch what happens.

JESUS conquers ALL

The LORD JESUS said:

Matthew 18:5-6

King James Version

5 And whoso shall receive 

one such little child in my name receiveth me.

6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones 

which believe in me, 

it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, 

and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

By now, you may have heard of the tragedy at an elementary school in Texas, and many others like it.

We also hear about wars everywhere in the world.

We are also aware kids are used as pawns.

And so, I turn to the Bible.

GOD was very clear, right from the start:

Exodus 20:13

King James Version

13 Thou shalt not kill.

JESUS spoke against violence:

Matthew 26:51-52

King James Version

51 And, behold, 

one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, 

and drew his sword, 

and struck a servant of the high priest's, 

and smote off his ear.

52 Then said Jesus unto him, 

Put up again thy sword into his place: 

for all they that take the sword 

shall perish with the sword.

JESUS spoke about LOVE:

John 13:34-35

King James Version

34 A new commandment I give unto you, 

That ye love one another; 

as I have loved you, 

that ye also love one another.

35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, 

if ye have love one to another.

"But I am NOT your disciple!" you tell JESUS.

Precisely.

Thus, the violence.

Those who are violent, serve a different god.

2 Corinthians 4:4

King James Version

4 In whom the god of this world 

hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, 

lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, 

who is the image of God, 

should shine unto them.

If you believe in JESUS, you will not believe in violence.

You will love.

You will not create chaos.

You will not create objects that aim to kill, or maim.

Your heart will not fester with hatred, schemes, revenge, or greed.

In JESUS, is PEACE.

When JESUS was seized, He had the power to call upon angels. 

But He did not.

Matthew 26:53-54

King James Version

53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, 

and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, 

that thus it must be?

He showed us a life of peace, love, obedience.

He knew we will all go through VERY rough times.

John 16:33

King James Version

33 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.

He knows His OWN, and those who are not.

1 John 5:19

King James Version

19 And we know that we are of God, 

and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

JESUS offers comfort to those who are grieving:

Matthew 5:4

King James Version

4 Blessed are they that mourn: 

for they shall be comforted.

For those who hate, GOD warns us:

Deuteronomy 32:35

King James Version

35 To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; 

their foot shall slide in due time: 

for the day of their calamity is at hand, 

and the things that shall come upon them make haste.

JESUS also warned us:

Luke 18:8

King James Version

8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. 

Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, 

shall he find faith on the earth?

PEACE is possible.

But only if JESUS is present in our hearts.

Is your heart open to the LORD?

Have you received Him?

Make haste to do so.

STOP divining the FUTURE

 

Leviticus 19:31

King James Version

31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, 

neither seek after wizards, 

to be defiled by them: 

I am the Lord your God.

Before GOD made me born again, I had been reading TONS of books on new age.

Along the way, I encountered people who could do tarot readings.

Somehow, I never wanted to know my future that way.

Neither did I have my palm read.

I couldn't believe someone could divine my future for me.

As if they were privy to something I ought to know myself.

It wasn't pride, just an inner knowing.

After all, it was my life.

That's why I kept searching, night and day, for truth.

How could anyone know better, than the one walking it?

I'm glad I didn't succumb to such readings.

If anything, I advised one young man to get off such pursuits.

Of course, I wish I had been born again then.

That would have made ALL the difference in the world.

I would have been taught by SPIRIT.

I would have quoted from Scripture.

Sharing the WORD of GOD instead.

After a long period of search, and research, GOD took pity on me. 

He led me to BIBLE prophecy in 2019.

Now, I know the future, as the Bible reveals it to be.

ESPECIALLY the imminent future.

Divining the future is an abomination to GOD.

Leviticus 19:31

King James Version

31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, 

neither seek after wizards, 

to be defiled by them: 

I am the Lord your God.

Deuteronomy 18:10-12

King James Version

10 There shall not be found among you any one 

that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, 

or that useth divination, 

or an observer of times, 

or an enchanter, 

or a witch.

11 Or a charmer, 

or a consulter with familiar spirits, 

or a wizard, 

or a necromancer.

12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: 

and because of these abominations 

the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

As born again, I trust GOD alone.

He knows the end, from the beginning.

Scripture testifies of it.

Isaiah 46:9-10

King James Version

9 Remember the former things of old: 

for I am God, 

and there is none else; 

I am God, 

and there is none like me,

10 Declaring the end from the beginning, 

and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, 

saying, 

My counsel shall stand, 

and I will do all my pleasure:

SPIRITUAL discernment

 1 John 4:1

King James Version

4 Beloved, 

believe not every spirit, 

but try the spirits whether they are of God: 

because many false prophets 

are gone out into the world.

SPIRIT makes things easy.

He made Scripture easy for me to understand.

He guided me to write blogs, books, and hundreds of posts.

And all we talk about is SPIRIT.

How sure am I that I'm getting things right?

Pretend I'm having a conversation with self.

It's a game SPIRIT and I play all the time.

That's why we call it self-review.

Also, these are common questions people ask.

SPIRIT and SCRIPTURE answer it simply.

How do I know all these things?

Because the Bible told me so.

What makes me trust the Bible?

It is the WORD of GOD.

How do I know it's the WORD of GOD?

The HOLY SPIRIT told me so.

Who is the HOLY SPIRIT?

He is the THIRD PERSON in the TRIUNE GOD.

Who is the TRIUNE GOD?

He is GOD the FATHER, GOD the SON, GOD the HOLY SPIRIT.

That's all GOD?

Yup, that's ALL GOD.

How can I trust the HOLY SPIRIT?

I am born again.

So?

Being born again means you are instructed by SPIRIT.

What does He instruct you about?

EVERYTHING about GOD.

I want proof.

Here's proof:

John 3:5-7

King James Version

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

John 4:24

King James Version

24 God is a Spirit: 

and they that worship him 

must worship him in spirit and in truth.

 

John 14:26

King James Version

26 But the Comforter, 

which is the Holy Ghost, 

whom the Father will send in my name, 

he shall teach you all things, 

and bring all things to your remembrance, 

whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 15:26

King James Version

26 But when the Comforter is come, 

whom I will send unto you from the Father, 

even the Spirit of truth, 

which proceedeth from the Father, 

he shall testify of me:

John 16:13

King James Version

13 Howbeit when he, 

the Spirit of truth, 

is come, 

he will guide you into all truth: 

for he shall not speak of himself; 

but whatsoever he shall hear, 

that shall he speak: 

and he will shew you things to come.

Acts 5:32

King James Version

32 And we are his witnesses of these things; 

and so is also the Holy Ghost, 

whom God hath given to them that obey him.

Romans 5:5

King James Version

5 And hope maketh not ashamed; 

because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts 

by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

1 Corinthians 2:14

King James Version

14 But the natural man receiveth not 

the things of the Spirit of God: 

for they are foolishness unto him: 

neither can he know them, 

because they are spiritually discerned.

GOD's LOVE

 Jeremiah 31:3

King James Version

3 The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, 

Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: 

therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

Do we have an idea how much GOD loves us?

SPIRIT and SCRIPTURE will tell us how much.

Even as His love is immeasurable.

It is a love that is eternal.

Long-suffering, constant, consistent.

Something we can rely on.

Always.

Psalm 86:15

King James Version

15 But thou, O Lord, 

art a God full of compassion, 

and gracious, 

long suffering, 

and plenteous in mercy and truth.

Psalm 103:8

King James Version

8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, 

slow to anger, 

and plenteous in mercy.

John 3:16

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

Romans 5:8

King James Version

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, 

in that, while we were yet sinners, 

Christ died for us.

Romans 8:35-39

King James Version

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? 

shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, 

or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 As it is written, 

For thy sake we are killed all the day long; 

we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors 

through him that loved us.

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, 

nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, 

nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, 

shall be able to separate us from the love of God, 

which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Galatians 2:20

King James Version

20 I am crucified with Christ: 

nevertheless I live; 

yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: 

and the life which I now live in the flesh I live 

by the faith of the Son of God, 

who loved me, 

and gave himself for me.

Ephesians 3:17-19

King James Version

17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; 

that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

18 May be able to comprehend with all saints 

what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

19 And to know the love of Christ, 

which passeth knowledge, 

that ye might be filled 

with all the fulness of God.

2 Peter 3:9

King James Version

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, 

as some men count slackness; 

but is longsuffering to us-ward, 

not willing that any should perish, 

but that all should come to repentance.

1 John 3:1

King James Version

3 Behold, 

what manner of love 

the Father hath bestowed upon us, 

that we should be called the sons of God: 

therefore the world knoweth us not, 

because it knew him not.

1 John 4:10

King James Version

10 Herein is love, 

not that we loved God, 

but that he loved us, 

and sent his Son to be 

the propitiation for our sins.

1 John 4:16

King James Version

16 And we have known and believed 

the love that God hath to us. 

God is love; 

and he that dwelleth in love 

dwelleth in God, 

and God in him.

1 John 4:19

King James Version

19 We love him, 

because he first loved us.

FAITHFUL ministers of CHRIST

 Ephesians 4:11-13

King James Version

11 And he gave some, apostles; 

and some, prophets; 

and some, evangelists; 

and some, pastors and teachers;

12 For the perfecting of the saints, 

for the work of the ministry, 

for the edifying of the body of Christ:

13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, 

and of the knowledge of the Son of God, 

unto a perfect man, 

unto the measure of the stature 

of the fulness of Christ:

Are you a minister of the LORD?

Have you been called to serve the LORD?

Are you a believer?

Are you born again?

Have you a desire to spread the GOSPEL?

Does GOD matter, more than anything else, to you?

Then, you have been called into CHRIST's ministry.

If there are unfaithful churches, there are also faithful ones.

Here's how Scripture describes faithful ministers:

1 Corinthians 2:2

King James Version

2 For I determined 

not to know any thing among you, 

save Jesus Christ, 

and him crucified.

2 Corinthians 4:1

King James Version

4 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, 

as we have received mercy, 

we faint not;

2 Corinthians 4:2

King James Version

2 But have renounced 

the hidden things of dishonesty, 

not walking in craftiness, 

nor handling the word of God deceitfully; 

but by manifestation of the truth 

commending ourselves to every man's conscience 

in the sight of God.

2 Corinthians 4:5

King James Version

5 For we preach not ourselves, 

but Christ Jesus the Lord; 

and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

2 Corinthians 4:6

King James Version

6 For God, 

who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, 

hath shined in our hearts, 

to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God 

in the face of Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 4:7

King James Version

7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, 

that the excellency of the power may be of God, 

and not of us.

2 Corinthians 4:8

King James Version

8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; 

we are perplexed, but not in despair;

2 Corinthians 4:9

King James Version

9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; 

cast down, but not destroyed;

2 Corinthians 4:10

King James Version

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.

2 Corinthians 4:11-12

King James Version

11 For we which live 

are always 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.

2 Corinthians 4:13-14

King James Version

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.

2 Corinthians 4:15-16

King James Version

15 For all things are for your sakes, 

that the abundant grace might 

through the thanksgiving of many 

redound to the glory of God.

16 For which cause we faint not; 

but though our outward man perish, 

yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

2 Corinthians 4:18

King James Version

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.

In SUMMARY, faithful ministers of CHRIST:

1. FOCUS on the crucified JESUS.

2. FAINT not.

3. RENOUNCE dishonest things.

4. DON'T walk in craftiness.

5. HANDLE the word of GOD truthfully.

6. PREACH only JESUS.

7. ARE your servants for JESUS' sake.

8. GIVE the knowledge of the GLORY of GOD, in the person of JESUS.

9. ARE humble servants, focusing on GOD's power alone.

10. ARE not distressed, nor in despair.

11. ARE not forsaken, nor destroyed.

12. FOCUS on the LORD's death, that His life may be made manifest in our body.

13. FACE death for JESUS' sake, that His life may be in us.

14. HAVE the same spirit of faith, knowing believers will be resurrected by GOD.

15. MINISTER for your sakes, for the GLORY of GOD.

16. FAINT not, but are renewed day by day.

17. LOOK at things that are not seen, for they are eternal.

Serving the LORD is a calling.

That's why it's a ministry.

Do you have what it takes?

Our ONLY REAL HOPE

 

Romans 15:4

King James Version

4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime 

were written for our learning, 

that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures 

might have hope.

What are your thoughts about the future?

What does the future hold?

Who shall we lean upon?

Who shall we listen to?

Who can we trust?

Scripture testifies our only hope is in CHRIST.

Romans 5:1-2

King James Version

5 Therefore being justified by faith, 

we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

2 By whom also we have access by faith 

into this grace wherein we stand, 

and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Zechariah 9:9

King James Version

9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion;

 shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: 

behold, thy King cometh unto thee: 

he is just, 

and having salvation; 

lowly, 

and riding upon an ass, 

and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

John 11:25

King James Version

25 Jesus said unto her, 

I am the resurrection, 

and the life: 

he that believeth in me, 

though he were dead, 

yet shall he live:

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

King James Version

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven 

with a shout, 

with the voice of the archangel, 

and with the trump of God: 

and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain 

shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, 

to meet the Lord in the air: 

and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Revelation 21:1-4

King James Version

21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: 

for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; 

and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, 

new Jerusalem, 

coming down from God out of heaven, 

prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, 

Behold, 

the tabernacle of God is with men, 

and he will dwell with them, 

and they shall be his people, 

and God himself shall be with them, 

and be their God.

4 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.

Be not afraid of the future.

TRUST in the LORD.

In belief, is hope.

And salvation.

Proverbs 3:5-6

King James Version

5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; 

and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, 

and he shall direct thy paths.
