A HEART for GOD

 


The LORD JESUS said:

John 14:21

King James Version

21 He that hath my commandments, 

and keepeth them, 

he it is that loveth me: 

and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, 

and I will love him, 

and will manifest myself to him.


Do you have a heart for God?

Then you will want to do right by Him.

You will want to know His will.

You will want to follow His commandments.

You will want to know about His Son, Jesus.

You will want to follow the teachings of His Son.

You will want to know about the Holy Spirit.

You will let the Holy Spirit teach you about Christ.

You will want to know why it's important to be born again.

You will realize the urgency of the times.

You will not desire the things of the world anymore.

You will want to know God's truth.


I've always known I love God.

But my love was imperfect.

I was imperfect.

The desire was there, but the way wasn't clear.

Until God made me born again, when I finally surrendered to His will.

By myself, I couldn't figure things out.

A piece was always missing.

I eventually got to know the LORD JESUS held that piece.

The Holy Spirit showed me all that.

Then things became crystal clear.

As born again, now, I know to love God, means to believe in Jesus.

He is the way, after all.

Until you've become a sincere believer, you won't really understand the simplicity of His words, which is mouthed often by many people, and yet, how many follow, and commit it to heart?

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, 

the truth, 

and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.


For myself, I've come to know.

Jesus is my ONE, and ONLY focus now.

He holds ALL the answers to the TRUTH we seek.

Through the Holy Spirit of God, we've created work for GOD's GLORY alone.

A true born again seeks the pure, the simple, and the divine.

I sought the treasures of the Bible.

Guided by SPIRIT, here are the articles we worked on:

GOD's WILL

SPIRIT articles

JESUS material

BORN AGAIN articles

WALK in the SPIRIT

FOOD for the SPIRIT

What makes RELATIONSHIPS work?

 

The LORD JESUS said:

Matthew 18:20

King James Version

20 For where two or three 

are gathered together in my name, 

there am I in the midst of them.


That's the best verse I found with regards to relationships.

We all interact with each other at home, in school, at work, and at social functions.

But are our relationships warm, and real?

Are people really kind, and genuine?

Do we really care for each other?


Love can only be possible when Jesus is in our midst, for the Lord taught us to love.

And when we're born again, we look to Scripture and the Holy Spirit to teach us about Jesus.

Unless we have been anointed by the Holy Spirit of God, our way of loving, will fall short of God's.

Only JESUS can teach us how to love, as God would.

His own life and ministry, his own death and resurrection, are proof positive of that love.

He is the best pattern for humans to love God, and each other.

By His own life, the Lord Jesus showed us how to love the Father, how to pray, how to be obedient to the will of God, how to love each other.

Because we are in the world, we become subject to the ways of the world.

We are fallible.

We act from our own steam.

Best thing to do, when relationships are tested, is to pray to Jesus for help.

We must pray for clarity.

We must pray to be taught to love.

Jesus will surely show us, through the Holy Spirit.

We will then be directed to Scripture, for all the answers we need can be found in the WORD of GOD.

Relationships can only be repaired through Jesus.

Through the GRACE of GOD.

Jesus will teach us how to forgive.

He was very clear:

Matthew 6:15

King James Version

15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, 

neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.


He also said:

Luke 6:37

King James Version

37 Judge not, 

and ye shall not be judged: 

condemn not, 

and ye shall not be condemned: 

forgive, 

and ye shall be forgiven:


We are even to love our enemies.

Luke 6:27

King James Version

27 But I say unto you which hear, 

Love your enemies, 

do good to them which hate you,


We cannot judge others, for perhaps, we're more in error.

Matthew 7:5

King James Version

5 Thou hypocrite, 

first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; 

and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote 

out of thy brother's eye.


Who decides who has a pure heart?

This article will tell you.

Relationships can only work if we have God in our heart.

If we have the Spirit of the Lord in our hearts.

If we follow the path Jesus paved for us.

And only by being born again can we understand God's Spirit and His commandments.

By ourselves, we will fail greatly.
