Seek NOT the APPROVAL of people

Galatians 1:10

King James Version

10 For do I now persuade men, 

or God? 

or do I seek to please men? 

for if I yet pleased men, 

I should not be the servant of Christ.

In this world, we will be grossly disappointed, if we seek the approval of man.

Do you love, so you will be loved?

Do you work, so your work will be appreciated?

Do you live, so your life will be appreciated?

You may just be in for great disappointment.

For we are all flesh.

Subject to the weakness of flesh.

In man, is lust.

Galatians 5:17

King James Version

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.

In man, is corruption.

2 Peter 2:19

King James Version

19 While they promise them liberty, 

they themselves are the servants of corruption: 

for of whom a man is overcome, 

of the same is he brought in bondage.

In man, is wickedness.

Habakkuk 1:4

King James Version

4 Therefore the law is slacked, 

and judgment doth never go forth: 

for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; 

therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.

If it we were not all that, why else did GOD send His SON?

Luke 19:10

King James Version

10 For the Son of man 

is come to seek 

and to save 

that which was lost.

Scripture asks we not be conformed to this world.

Romans 12:2

King James Version

2 And be not conformed to this world: 

but be ye transformed 

by the renewing of your mind, 

that ye may prove what is that good, 

and acceptable, 

and perfect, 

will of God.

Colossians 3:1-2

King James Version

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, 

seek those things which are above, 

where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, 

not on things on the earth.

Ask nothing from man.

He cannot deliver the love you seek.

Only JESUS can.

Not to mean there are no decent people around.

There are, but only God is good.

JESUS said so, Himself.

Luke 18:19

King James Version

19 And Jesus said unto him, 

Why callest thou me good? 

none is good, 

save one, 

that is, 

God.

Unless we are born again, subject to SPIRIT, and not flesh, we cannot love as CHRIST loved.

John 13:34

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.

It's good to have our eyes opened.

That the love, and approval we seek, can only come from God.

If He hadn't, He would not have sent His Son.

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.

As I sought this thread, I had not realized the BIBLE was replete with verses on seeking approval from GOD ALONE.

That's for the next post.

Only through JESUS, can we love, and appreciate others.

There's no need to seek the world's faulty, flighty approval.

Seek God instead.

Matthew 6:33

King James Version

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, 

and his righteousness; 

and all these things shall be added unto you.

URGENT event to LOOK OUT FOR

Luke 21:28

King James Version

28 And when these things 

begin to come to pass, 

then look up, 

and lift up your heads; 

for your redemption draweth nigh.

What do you think is the most imminent event of all?

Wherein we could be doing our daily chores, work, or tasks, and suddenly, it could happen?

Wherein the shock would be too great to bear, realizing the people we love are gone, in an instant?

Wherein we shall finally see the GLORY of JESUS, and become shamefaced, at not having acknowledged Him?

Wherein those left behind, may not be able to bear the tribulation that will come after?

Many know it as the RAPTURE.

But do you really know its significance?

And imminence?

And realize that we only have THIS MOMENT to get right with GOD?

That every moment, every minute, every hour, every day is GRACE from GOD?

That we are being given a chance to seek GOD, become born again, believe in JESUS, repent, believe, and share the Gospel?

For the time is "at hand".

The "time is fulfilled".

JESUS said so Himself.

Matthew 4:17

King James Version

17 From that time 

Jesus began to preach, 

and to say, 

Repent: 

for the kingdom of heaven 

is at hand.

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.

John the Baptist gave the same warning.

Matthew 3:1-2

King James Version

3 In those days came John the Baptist, 

preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,

2 And saying, 

Repent ye: 

for the kingdom of heaven 

is at hand.

What would it take for us, to listen?

Shall we wait for the event?

For there are many skeptics, and scoffers.

Four months after I became born again, and started reading the Bible, JESUS knew I was ready to know about the RAPTURE.

So, He alerted me to two sets of phrases that literally shook me out of my world-induced stupor.

Matthew 24:40

King James Version

40 Then shall two be in the field; 

the one shall be taken, 

and the other left.

That was all the warning I needed, and set to work right away.

Mercifully, SPIRIT made it easy for me to understand Scripture.

That verse alone said it all.

But how about you?

What if you're not born again?

What if you're not a believer yet?

I was none of those in the beginning.

But I kept praying to God, to please reveal to me His TRUTH.

I can't seem to buy the world's truth.

In the fullness of time, God led me to two prophetic videos.

On the very same day, I wanted to be born again.

I knew, and felt, the URGENCY of the times.

And I'm grateful to GOD for alerting me to it.

Just seek God, with all your heart.

Pray to know His will.

And let Him do the rest.

The WORD of GOD will be made clear to you.

As if God was speaking to you directly.

All your questions will be answered.

SCRIPTURE has ALL the ANSWERS.

Never again will you doubt God.

Never again will you disobey God.

You will fear God's power.

You will marvel at His majesty.

You will delight in obeying His will.

You will love learning about Jesus.

You will love following Jesus.

You will see the world, for what it is.

Asleep.

And you will want to wake it up.

For now, you've come to know the GOSPEL of CHRIST.

SPIRIT and SCRIPTURE will alert you to the imminence of the LORD's coming.

Matthew 24:27

King James Version

27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, 

and shineth even unto the west; 

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Matthew 24:44

King James Version

44 Therefore be ye also ready: 

for in such an hour as ye think not 

the Son of man cometh.

Mark 13:32

King James Version

32 But of that day and that hour 

knoweth no man, no, 

not the angels which are in heaven, 

neither the Son, 

but the Father.

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.

And you will know what to do.

When the SEAL of GOD is upon you.

You will only care to be READY for the LORD.

Consider these verses, PREPARATION and SANCTIFICATION:

John 3:3

King James Version

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

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.

Matthew 22:37-40

King James Version

37 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.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, 

Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments 

hang all the law and the prophets.

Zechariah 7:9-10

King James Version

9 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, 

Execute true judgment, 

and shew mercy and compassions 

every man to his brother:

10 And oppress not the widow, 

nor the fatherless, 

the stranger, 

nor the poor; 

and let none of you imagine evil 

against his brother in your heart.

Galatians 5:16

King James Version

16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, 

and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

1 Thessalonians 4:1

King James Version

4 Furthermore then 

we beseech you, brethren,

and exhort you by the Lord Jesus,

that as ye have received of us 

how ye ought to walk 

and to please God, 

so ye would abound 

more and more.

1 Thessalonians 4:3

King James Version

3 For this is the will of God, 

even your sanctification, 

that ye should abstain from fornication:

1 Thessalonians 4:4

King James Version

4 That every one of you 

should know how to possess his vessel 

in sanctification and honour;

1 Thessalonians 4:6

King James Version

6 That no man go beyond 

and defraud his brother in any matter: 

because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, 

as we also have forewarned you and testified.

1 Thessalonians 4:7

King James Version

7 For God hath not called us 

unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

1 Thessalonians 4:11

King James Version

11 And that ye study to be quiet, 

and to do your own business, 

and to work with your own hands, 

as we commanded you;

1 Thessalonians 4:12

King James Version

12 That ye may walk honestly 

toward them that are without, 

and that ye may have lack of nothing.

What the BIBLE has been CONSISTENT about

 Colossians 3:12

King James Version

12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, 

holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, 

kindness, humbleness of mind, 

meekness, longsuffering;

There's a striking bunch of verses I featured three days ago on this meekness post.

I shared it, because GOD keeps commanding us to do it.

Every so often, you'd find it in the Bible.

A set of people God wants us to love -- in particular.

Here's what GOD has been commanding us to do:

Zechariah 7:8-10

King James Version

8 And the word of the Lord 

came unto Zechariah, 

saying,

9 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, 

saying, 

Execute true judgment, 

and shew mercy and compassions 

every man to his brother:

10 And oppress not the widow, 

nor the fatherless, 

the stranger, 

nor the poor; 

and let none of you imagine evil 

against his brother 

in your heart.

We must search our own hearts, to see if we have love for each other.

Not just the romantic love, so loosely bandied about, causing many young to fornicate, and to defy their parents.

As well as causing many to commit abominations unto the Lord.

We need to take to heart those verses, for God's precise about who we must look after:

-- Every man.

-- The widow.

-- The fatherless.

-- The stranger.

-- The poor.

Only by being born again, can we understand God's instructions.

Only by being born again, can we delight in obeying God's will.

For His SPIRIT will surely teach us how.

SPIRIT, after all, is the teacher of all things JESUS.

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.

Jesus taught us how to love God, and each other.

Matthew 22:37-40

King James Version

37 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.

38 This is the first 

and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, 

Thou shalt love thy neighbour 

as thyself.

40 On these two commandments 

hang all the law 

and the prophets.

We must put on the "bond of perfectness".

Colossians 3:13-14

King James Version

13 Forbearing one another, 

and forgiving one another, 

if any man have a quarrel against any: 

even as Christ forgave you, 

so also do ye.

14 And above all these things put on charity, 

which is the bond of perfectness.

We must let the PEACE of GOD rule in our hearts.

Colossians 3:15

King James Version

15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, 

to the which also ye are called in one body; 

and be ye thankful.

We must let the word of CHRIST dwell in us.

Colossians 3:16

King James Version

16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you 

richly in all wisdom; 

teaching and admonishing one another 

in psalms and hymns 

and spiritual songs, 

singing with grace in your hearts 

to the Lord.

Lastly, we must do all in the NAME of the LORD JESUS.

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.

Should we be CONCERNED about CERN?

Psalm 139:23-24

King James Version

23 Search me, 

O God, 

and know my heart: 

try me, 

and know my thoughts:

24 And see 

if there be any wicked way in me, 

and lead me 

in the way everlasting.

First, let me start with a premise.

How do you know you're a true born again?

Simple.

Your faith is in GOD alone.

You do not need any exotic theology.

Your basis for ALL TRUTH is the BIBLE.

Your trust for ALL SALVATION is JESUS.

Your source for ALL LEARNING is SPIRIT.

Your source for ALL LOVE is GOD.

Your approach, is as a child.

COMPLETE faith in GOD.

Only by being born again, can you begin to understand.

Spirit will make all things clear for you.

The Bible will be easy to understand.

Where others look outward, you look inward.

You've made a home for God in your heart.

I know of no other way of praising God, but giving my whole life, trust, and faith in Him.

That's why I find it strange that the Vatican has an observatory, Switzerland has their CERN, and that an Israeli professor was elected president of CERN, just hours ago, as I write this article.

I don't need to know about God's particle, to be able to understand Him, or His creation.

I only need to know Scripture.

Why did SPIRIT lead me to Doug Woodward's video and his book, "Revising Reality: A Biblical Look Into the Cosmos", just moments ago?

Which piqued my curiosity, leading me to another Woodward video on "Mystery Babylon, CERN, Bill Gates, Russia to nuke the U.S.?, Return of Saturn's gods".

Check the 58th minute of that video as Woodward speaks more on CERN.

Should we be concerned about CERN?

Should we be concerned about Cernunnos?

Should we be concerned what the world's agenda is?

Should we be concerned where science is headed?

Should we be concerned where technology is headed?

I'm not.

For I'm born again, and my belief is in GOD alone.

I trust that all I need to know, is ALL GOD WANTS me to KNOW.

I won't get ahead of my LORD.

I don't need to dissect Him like a lab rat.

He tells me everything anyway.

Through SCRIPTURE.

Try that sometime.

Pray, wait, listen.

That's what a contented child does.

I have complete faith in the LORD.

For, everything has been prophesied, anyway.

Why get ahead of God?

Why challenge Him?

He might just show you a thing, or two.

Proverbs 1:7

King James Version

7 The fear of the Lord 

is the beginning of knowledge: 

but fools despise wisdom 

and instruction.

When you really think about it, all of man's efforts spell "vanity".

If he's born again, has real love for GOD, prays to JESUS for help, or illumination, and waits for SPIRIT to instruct him, then his work is sound.

But if it's to benefit the rich, to deprive the poor, to challenge God, or to gain world power, then he serves a different god.

More so, when one plays God.

We can't mess around with His Creation.

In the fullness of time, God will act.

He, alone, is TRUE POWER.

No one can defy, manipulate, or take the place of our CREATOR.

Isaiah 14:27

King James Version

27 For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, 

and who shall disannul it? 

and his hand is stretched out, 

and who shall turn it back?

I don't need a telescope to look up at the sky, and wait for God.

(Or for another being, or entity, others may be waiting for.)

He already lives in my heart.

My body is His temple.

I don't need to collide particles, to find the GOD particle.

I don't need to head over to the other side, when I'm already on God's side.

I only take GOD's WORD for it, and look at this verse.

Colossians 3:1-2

King James Version

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, 

seek those things which are above, 

where Christ sitteth 

on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, 

not on things on the earth.

Spirit's in my heart.

He tells me all I need to know.

Thus, I rely only on the BIBLE.

To test the claims of the world.

Versus the TRUTH of GOD.

SCRIPTURE suffices.

The LORD JESUS is all I need.

it shall not return unto me void,

which I please,

whereto I sent it.

Who could have thought?

There's the:

Internet

Outernet

Ubernet

All I care about are intentions.

As born again, and a student of SPIRIT, I remain consistent.

I only care about these BIBLICAL principles:

Colossians 3:23

King James Version

23 And whatsoever ye do, 

do it heartily, as to the Lord, 

and not unto men;

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.  

Zechariah 7:8-10

King James Version

8 And the word of the Lord came unto Zechariah, 

saying,

9 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, 

saying, 

Execute true judgment,

 and shew mercy and compassions 

every man to his brother:

10 And oppress not the widow, 

nor the fatherless, 

the stranger, 

nor the poor; 

and let none of you imagine evil 

against his brother 

in your heart.

Technology must serve God.

If we are to continue to exist.

That we are of value to others.

And that our labors bear good fruit.

The LORD JESUS did warn:

Matthew 7:15-20

King James Version

15 Beware of false prophets, 

which come to you in sheep's clothing, 

but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. 

Do men gather grapes of thorns, 

or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; 

but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, 

neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit 

is hewn down, 

and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

I am grateful that we have the "net", to help us spread the GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST.

In the same manner, I also believe in God, being the believer's safety net, as we traverse the tricky net.

2 Thessalonians 3:3

King James Version

3 But the Lord is faithful, 

who shall stablish you, 

and keep you from evil.

But let it be known, that as man creates his own version of a "net", so does God:

Matthew 13:47-48

King James Version

47 Again, 

the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, 

that was cast into the sea, 

and gathered of every kind:

48 Which, 

when it was full, 

they drew to shore, 

and sat down, 

and gathered the good into vessels, 

but cast the bad away.

The work we do, the things we create, will be judged, in the end.

The LORD JESUS did prophesy:

Matthew 13:49-50

King James Version

49 So shall it be at the end of the world: 

the angels shall come forth, 

and sever the wicked from among the just,

50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: 

there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Let all our creations serve GOD alone.

For in doing so, we serve others well, too.
