James 3:4

King James Version

4 Behold also the ships, 

which though they be so great, 

and are driven of fierce winds, 

yet are they turned about with a very small helm, 

whithersoever the governor listeth.

Hop on board now!

GOD's ship is sailing.

Gathering His believers.

Every day is a step closer to GOD.

Every day is a step closer to the RAPTURE.

Every day is a step closer to JESUS.

Are you still hoarding stuff?

We only carry people.

Believers of the WORD.

Possessions will be left behind.

Where we're going, we don't need things of the world.

Still fascinated by power?

There is no power, but GOD.

He is our CAPTAIN.

He is our MASTER.

He is our LORD.

Still obsessed with wealth?

There is only one KING.

One LORD.

JESUS.

Still fascinated by good looks?

Flesh rots.

Spirit lives on.

Our bodies will be changed.

We must be holy, before GOD.

Enamored with this life?

There is only ONE real LIFE.

ETERNAL LIFE with JESUS.

Still judging others?

We will all be judged.

We must be in GOD's BOOK of LIFE.

Revelation 20:15

King James Version

15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life 

was cast into the lake of fire.

Still unsure what to believe?

In JESUS is TRUTH.

John 1:17

King James Version

17 For the law was given by Moses, 

but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

Still an unbeliever?

It's time to seek GOD.

That He may make you born again.

That you may RECEIVE His SPIRIT.

And when He does, ALL will be made clear.

I don't know about you, but I've hopped on board 33 months ago.

GOD gave me time to tell you about His MAGNIFICENCE.

To tell you about the BEAUTY of His WORD.

To remind you of the POWER in His Son, JESUS.

To write, and to warn.

By living in His WORD, we won't fall overboard.

We will get to our destination, safely.

All who are onboard GOD's ship, stay onboard.

What apostle Paul said, seems very apt:

Acts 27:31

King James Version

31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, 

Except these abide in the ship, 

ye cannot be saved.

How GOD is GLORIFIED in us

 

ALL GLORY belongs to GOD:

Romans 11:36

King James Version

36 For of him, 

and through him, 

and to him, 

are all things: 

to whom be glory for ever. 

Amen.

Ever wondered how GOD is glorified, in us?

Here's what I found, through the the Holy Spirit, spoken of by JESUS Himself:

John 15:8

King James Version

8 Herein is my Father glorified, 

that ye bear much fruit; 

so shall ye be my disciples.

What does it mean to "bear much fruit"?

The Lord explains:

John 15:1-8

King James Version

15 I am the true vine, 

and my Father is the husbandman.

2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: 

and every branch that beareth fruit, 

he purgeth it, 

that it may bring forth more fruit.

3 Now ye are clean through the word 

which I have spoken unto you.

4 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.

5 I am the vine, 

ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, 

and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.

6 If a man abide not in me, 

he is cast forth as a branch, 

and is withered; 

and men gather them, 

and cast them into the fire, 

and they are burned.

7 If ye abide in me, 

and my words abide in you, 

ye shall ask what ye will, 

and it shall be done unto you.

8 Herein is my Father glorified, 

that ye bear much fruit; 

so shall ye be my disciples.

What fruits would these be?

Philippians 1:11

King James Version

11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, 

which are by Jesus Christ, 

unto the glory and praise of God.

Galatians 5:22-24

King James Version

22 But the fruit of the Spirit 

is love, 

joy, 

peace, 

longsuffering, 

gentleness, 

goodness, 

faith,

23 Meekness, 

temperance: 

against such there is no law.

John 16:13-14

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.

14 He shall glorify me: 

for he shall receive of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.

Ephesians 6:5-6

King James Version

5 Servants, 

be obedient to them that are your masters 

according to the flesh, 

with fear and trembling, 

in singleness of your heart, 

as unto Christ;

6 Not with eyeservice, 

as menpleasers; 

but as the servants of Christ, 

doing the will of God from the heart;

Matthew 5:14-16

King James Version

14 Ye are the light of the world. 

A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

15 Neither do men light a candle, 

and put it under a bushel, 

but on a candlestick; 

and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, 

that they may see your good works, 

and glorify your Father 

which is in heaven.

John 7:38

King James Version

38 He that believeth on me, 

as the scripture hath said, 

out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

2 Timothy 2:15

King James Version

15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, 

a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, 

rightly dividing the word of truth.

Why is it important to be fruitful?

Philippians 2:13

King James Version

13 For it is God which worketh in you 

both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

John 15:16

King James Version

16 Ye have not chosen me, 

but I have chosen you, 

and ordained you, 

that ye should go and bring forth fruit, 

and that your fruit should remain: 

that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father 

in my name, 

he may give it you.

2 Thessalonians 1:10-12

King James Version

10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, 

and to be admired in all them that believe 

(because our testimony among you was believed) 

in that day.

11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, 

that our God would count you worthy of this calling, 

and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, 

and the work of faith with power:

12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ 

may be glorified in you, 

and ye in him, 

according to the grace of our God 

and the Lord Jesus Christ.

If you have been given much, you must do much.

Luke 12:48

King James Version

48 But he that knew not, 

and did commit things worthy of stripes, 

shall be beaten with few stripes. 

For unto whomsoever much is given, 

of him shall be much required: 

and to whom men have committed much, 

of him they will ask the more.

Most importantly, all the fruits of our labor are for GOD's GLORY alone.

Colossians 3:23

King James Version

23 And whatsoever ye do, 

do it heartily, 

as to the Lord, 

and not unto men;

Colossians 3:17

King James Version

17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, 

do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, 

giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Can you DISCIPLINE yourself?

 

Proverbs 29:17

King James Version

17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; 

yea, he shall give delight 

unto thy soul.

What are you addicted to?

Can you discipline your appetites?

The appetite of this world is insatiable.

Its greed is legendary.

It aims to trap you, at every turn.

Temptations lurk, at every corner.

Can you resist the many worldly temptations that aim to capture, bind, and destroy your soul?

Can you focus on GOD alone?

And not worry what you shall eat, wear, drink, or buy?

Can you stop drooling over people, power, possessions, and passions?

Can you give God your whole heart?

Can you follow His FIRST commandment?

Exodus 20:1-6

King James Version

20 And God spake all these words, 

saying,

2 I am the Lord thy God, 

which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, 

out of the house of bondage.

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, 

or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, 

or that is in the earth beneath, 

or that is in the water under the earth.

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, 

nor serve them: 

for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, 

visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children 

unto the third and fourth generation of them 

that hate me;

6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them 

that love me, 

and keep my commandments.

For all idolizing, is an abomination to God.

If anything, these make mockery of the ONE, TRUE GOD.

Can you be filled with SPIRIT, instead?

Ephesians 5:18

King James Version

18 And be not drunk with wine, 

wherein is excess; 

but be filled with the Spirit;

Can you do all, for the GLORY of GOD?

1 Corinthians 10:31

King James Version

31 Whether therefore ye eat, 

or drink, 

or whatsoever ye do, 

do all to the glory of God.

Can you WALK in the SPIRIT, instead?

Galatians 5:16-26

King James Version

16 This I say then, 

Walk in the Spirit, 

and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, 

and the Spirit against the flesh: 

and these are contrary the one to the other: 

so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, 

ye are not under the law.

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, 

which are these; 

Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance,

emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings,murders,drunkenness, 

revellings,and such like: 

of the which I tell you before, 

as I have also told you in time past, 

that they which do such things 

shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit 

is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, 

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.

25 If we live in the Spirit, 

let us also walk in the Spirit.

26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, 

provoking one another, 

envying one another.

Would you have love, for GOD's INSTRUCTION?

Proverbs 12:1

King James Version

12 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: 

but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

Can you be HOLY, instead?

Leviticus 19:2

King James Version

2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, 

and say unto them, 

Ye shall be holy: 

for I the Lord your God am holy.

Can you CONQUER pride, and vanity?

Obadiah 3

King James Version

3 The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, 

thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, 

whose habitation is high; 

that saith in his heart, 

Who shall bring me down to the ground?

And if you minister for God, can you be a SHINING example for others to follow?

1 Corinthians 9:27

King James Version

27 But I keep under my body, 

and bring it into subjection:

lest that by any means, 

when I have preached to others, 

I myself should be a castaway.

Am I asking you to be a monk?

A priest?

Or a nun?

Am I asking you to lead a boring life?

Serving God is hardly boring.

It you're born again,He will surely send His SPIRIT to TEACH you ALL things JESUS.

Your life will never be dull again.

You will stop filling the gaps of your life.

Your life will have authentic purpose.

You will not be fodder for the world's insatiable appetite.

You will have a life, apart from the world.

You will be GOD's.

You will begin to understand His LAWS.

You will love OBEYING His COMMANDMENTS.

SCRIPTURE will be easy to understand.

You will enjoy the MOST MAGNIFICENT journey of all.

ALONGSIDE CHRIST.

How can you even think of comparing this world, with what GOD can offer?

Made up your mind, yet?

What do I think of, when JESUS comes to MIND?

 

Psalm 4:8

King James Version

8 I will both lay me down 

in peace, and sleep: 

for thou, Lord, 

only makest me dwell 

in safety.

Peace.

Jesus gives me peace.

He has given His life.

He defeated death.

He has revealed God.

In Jesus, I have peace.

I can ask Him any question.

And He always answers.

Usually, through a dream.

A word.

A phrase.

A verse.

An image.

A delight in my heart.

Or some unseen solution.

Only He knows about.

And yet, as born again, I begin to know.

As child, I begin to know, even more.

For the child's heart is expectant.

Forever trusting.

Knowing all is well.

All is done.

God is head of all.

What can the world do to scare me?

It will be like a black hole. 

Imploding upon itself.

Though, they know it not.

I trust in the LORD JESUS alone.

He is my haven.

My heaven.

My safety net.

My peace.

My sure guide.

My SAVIOR.

My happiness.

My truth.

My being.

In JESUS, I live.

WORKMAN's CREED

 

What is your creed?

What do you live by?

What do you live for?

What do you stand for?

Who do you work for?

Who do you serve?

What are your deepest beliefs?

As born again, that screenshot is my creed.

A statement to myself.

Reminding me of the work I do.

I am a workman for GOD.

2 Timothy 2:15

King James Version

15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, 

a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,

I live, and breathe, SCRIPTURE.

that are in heaven, 

and that are in earth,

or principalities, 

or powers: 

all things were created by him, 

and for him:

that which I also received,

according to the scriptures:

worship God: 

for the testimony of Jesus 

is the spirit of prophecy.

1 In the beginning was the Word,

I rely upon:

GOD for grace, 

JESUS for salvation,

SPIRIT for teaching, and

the BIBLE for truth.

The HOLY SPIRIT of GOD taught me all that.
