What is pleasing to God

What is pleasing to God

Romans 14:13 Therefore we must not pass judgment on one another, but rather determine never to place an obstacle or a trap before a brother or sister.  14:14 I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean in itself; still, it is unclean to the one who considers it unclean. 14:15 For if your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat,  you are no longer walking in love.  Do not destroy by your food someone for whom Christ died. 14:16 Therefore do not let what you consider good  be spoken of as evil. 14:17 For the kingdom of God does not consist of food and drink, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. 14:18 For the one who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by people.

Thinking outside of the Box - A prayer for the new year

Prayer of Manasseh
We serve a God ,who is the God of one who repents.

1 O Lord Almighty, God of our ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and their righteous descendants,2 you who created heaven and earth with all their orderly arrangement,3 who shackled the sea by the word of your command,who closed up the abyss and sealed it by your awesome and glorious name; 4 at whose powerall things shudder and tremble, 5 for your glorious magnificence is unbearable,and the wrath of your threat against sinners cannot be resisted.6 Yet your promised mercy cannot be measured or scrutinized. 7 For you are the Lord Most High, compassionate, longsuffering, and extremely merciful,and relenting at human misfortunes.

Confession of Sin

8 Therefore, O Lord God of the righteous,you have not appointed repentance for the righteous, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob who have not sinned against you, but you have appointed repentance to me a sinner.9 Because my sins outnumber the sand of the sea; my lawless acts have increased, O Lord, they have increased, and I am not worthy to gaze upon or to see the height of heaven due to the multitude of my unrighteous acts. 10 I am bent over by the weight of many an iron bond; consequently I am ready to give up because of my sins. I have no rest, because I have provoked your wrath and have committed evil in your sight, erecting increasing the number of idols.

Appeal for Forgiveness

11 So now I bow,begging for your kindness.12 I have sinned, O Lord, I have sinned, and I fully recognize my lawless acts. 13 I sincerely beseech you: forgive me, O Lord, forgive me! Please do not destroy me along with my lawless acts! Do not bear a grudge forever against me and thereby store up calamities for me. Do not sentence me to the lowest parts of the earth.For you, O Lord, are the God of those who repent. 14 May you demonstrate your goodness in me. For although I am unworthy you will deliver me by your great mercy. 15 And I will praise you continually all the days of my life. For all the powers of heaven sing praises to you.

Doxology

 

And yours is the glory forever.Amen.

 

I do not always agree with the Apocrypha, yet this may be a exemption

The life stile within the tent.

 Rebuilding the tent of David

Acts 15:16 After this I will return and I will rebuild the fallen tent of David;
I will rebuild its ruins and restore  it, 15:17 so that the rest of humanity may seek the Lord,
namely, all the GentilesI have called to be my own,’ the Lord
who makes these things 15:18 knownfrom long ago.
15:19 “Therefore I conclude  that we should not cause extra difficulty  for those among the Gentiles who are turning to God, 15:20 but that we should write them a letter  telling them to abstain  from things defiled  by idols and from sexual immorality and from what has been strangled  and from blood.

Question does the dreams visions that we proclaim cause extra difficulty too the Kingdom of God?

See acts 15 for complet context

A far better name

A far better name

Hebrews 1:1 After God spoke long ago in various portions  and in various ways to our ancestors  through the prophets, 1:2 in these last days he has spoken to us in a son,  whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he created the world.  1:3 The Son is the radiance of his glory and the representation of his essence, and he sustains all things by his powerful word, and so when he had accomplished cleansing for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.  1:4 Thus he became  so far better than the angels as  he has inherited a name superior to theirs.

God called us

1Thessalonians

A Life Pleasing to God

4:1 Finally then, brothers and sisters, we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received instruction from us about how you must live and please God (as you are in fact living) that you do so more and more. 4:2 For you know what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 4:3 For this is God’s will: that you become holy, that you keep away from sexual immorality, 4:4 that each of you know how to possess his own body in holiness and honor, 4:5 not in lustful passion like the Gentiles who do not know God. 4:6 In this matter no one should violate the rights of his brother or take advantage of him, because the Lord is the avenger in all these cases, as we also told you earlier and warned you solemnly. 4:7 For God did not call us to impurity but in holiness.

What should our actions be in 2010

What should our actions be in 2010

John 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me, but if you do not believe me,  believe because of the miraculous deeds themselves. 14:12 I tell you the solemn truth,the person who believes in me will perform the miraculous deeds  that I am doing,  and will perform  greater deeds  than these, because I am going to the Father. 14:13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name,so that the Father may be glorified  in the Son. 14:14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

Mark 16:15  He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16:16 The one who believes and is baptized will be saved, but the one who does not believe will be condemned. 16:17 These signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages; 16:18 they will pick up snakes with their hands, and whatever poison they drink will not harm them; they will place their hands on the sick and they will be well.” 16:19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. 16:20 They went out and proclaimed everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through the accompanying signs

Looking at 2010

Acts 2:17 ‘And in the last days it will be,’ God says,
‘that I will pour out my Spirit on all people,
and your sons and your daughters will prophesy,
and your young men will see visions,
and your old men will dream dreams.
2:18 Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
2:19 And I will perform wonders in the sky above
and miraculous signs on the earth below,
blood and fire and clouds of smoke.
2:20 The sun will be changed to darkness
and the moon to blood
before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
2:21 And then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

What too expect for 2010

When we see biblical change this is what we can expect .

Compare this with Jer 29 and we see that God delights to deliver His Childern. Jer 29:4 see the comparison.

29:4 “The Lord God of Israel who rules over all 8 says to all those he sent  into exile to Babylon from Jerusalem,  29:5 ‘Build houses and settle down. Plant gardens and eat what they produce. 29:6 Marry and have sons and daughters. Find wives for your sons and allow your daughters get married so that they too can have sons and daughters. Grow in number; do not dwindle away. 29:7 Work to see that the city where I sent you as exiles enjoys peace and prosperity. Pray to the Lord for it. For as it prospers you will prosper.’

Mark 10: 28 And Peter began to say to him, `Lo, we left all, and we followed thee.' 29 And Jesus answering said, `Verily I say to you, there is no one who left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for my sake, and for the good news', 30 who may not receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and fields, with persecutions, and in the age that is coming, life age-during; 31 and many first shall be last, and the last first.'

If you would like take a look at the following scriptures, they lay the foundation for what is being said.

10:30 = 2Ch 25:9; Ps 84:11; Pr 3:9,10; Pr 16:16; Mal 3:10; Mt 5:11,12; Mt 13:44-46; Lu 18:30; Joh 10:23; Joh 16:22,23; Ac 5:41; Ac 16:25; Ro 5:3; Ro 6:23; 2Co 6:10; 2Co 9:8-11; Php 3:8; 2Th 2:16; 1Ti 6:6; Jas 1:2-4,12; Jas 5:11; 1Pe 4:12-16; 1Jo 2:25; 1Jo 3:1; Re 2:9; Re 3:18

Understanding Biblical Change, Part 2

God is not slow concerning His promises.

God does not see Change like we do for one reason notice 2 Peter 3:9 This is not just a New Testiment thought, Ps 90:4


Ps90:4
For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it is past, And like a watch in the night.

2 Peter 3:8
Now, dear friends, do not let this one thing escape your notice,  that a single day is like a thousand years with the Lord and a thousand years are like a single day. 3:9 The Lord is not slow concerning his promise,  as some regard slowness, but is being patient toward you, because he does not wish  for any  to perish but for all to come to repentance.
