“Heart Burn – 101” …Blog.
*** (Luke 24:25-to-32) And He [Jesus] said to
them, O fools and slow of heart to believe all things that the prophets spoke!
(Luke 24:26)
Was it not necessary for the Christ
to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?
(Luke 24:27)
And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to
them in all the Scriptures
the things concerning Himself.
(Luke 24:28)
And they drew near the village where they were going. And He appeared to be
going further.
(Luke 24:29)
But they constrained Him, saying, Stay
with us, for it is toward evening and the day is far spent. And He went in
to stay with them.
(Luke
24:30) And it happened as He reclined with them, taking the
loaf, He blessed it, and
breaking it, He gave to them.
(Luke 24:31)
And their eyes were opened, and they
knew Him. And He became invisible to them.
(Luke 24:32) And they said to one another, Did not our “heart burn” within us while He talked with us by
the way and while He
opened the Scriptures to us?
*** (2Chronicles 12:14) And
he did the EVIL: –>because he did ‘NOT’: –> Prepare his Heart; to
seek the LORD.
*** (Ezra 7:10) For Ezra had “Prepared his
Heart” –> to seek the Law of the LORD Jehovah; –> and to do it; –> and to teach statutes
and judgments: in Israel.
*** (1Corinthains 4:2) And the rest, it is sought
among Stewards that one be found FAITHFUL.
*** (1Corinthains 11:30) That's why so “MANY” of you [Christians]
are WEAK;
and SICK;
and a considerable number are DYING.
Do You have… “Heart Burn”… when You read the Holy Word of
God? In “Luke 24:32” two
of the disciples met Christ Jesus after His resurrection, but did Not recognize
Him. In these Scriptures, we are explained why. As I read the Holy Word of God,
I am always looking for Questions as for the reasons WHY, such things are
revealed in Scripture. Perhaps, they had not been looking for a “Resurrected
Christ?” Perhaps the “Trauma” of seeing miracles for 3 years and then the
‘Supposed Defeat’ of the Kingdom of God: as Christ was crucified. The Jews had been
looking for a Deliverer, to free them from Roman Oppression. Christ Jesus did Not
fit into that pattern. Only when Christ opened to them the Scriptures, “Luke 24:27” were they then ‘Cognizant’ of
His Mission. I prepare my heart, before I meet with Christ Jesus… “Daily”… in
His Holy Word! May I simply ASK: “Do You, before You meet with Him, Daily”…?
*** (Mark 1:35) And in the morning, rising up a great
while before day, HE [Jesus] went
out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
*** (1Samuel 3:21) And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed Himself to Samuel
in Shiloh by the Word of the LORD.
“Daily: Spiritual ‘Decisions’ – 101”…Blog.
*** (Micah 6:8) He has shown
you; O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you;
but to Do Justice; and to Love Mercy; and to Walk Humbly ‘with’ your God?
Recently I was sharing with one of my
Brothers in Christ…
about these techniques. His wife said, “That she was Not a “Morning Person!” I
simply asked, when You are on Vacation, do You sleep in or do You become a ‘morning
person’, to get the “Most out of your Vacation?” Most of us admire an “Olympic
Athlete”. Their ‘training & discipline’ is Not for that “Gold Medal”, but
so they can have their ‘Picture’ on that box of cereal! [Joke] I once heard the
testimony of a Decathlon champion. He said he did Not feel like running, but
after 12-14 miles, he did! Christ Jesus called His Disciples, “Soldiers!” We
are soldiers in this Spiritual War, “His Truth Against Lies!” (1Jn 5:19)
*** (2Timothy 2:3-4-5) Join me in suffering like a good soldier = of Christ Jesus.
(2Tim 2:4) No
one serving in the military = gets mixed up in civilian matters = for his aim
is to please his commanding officer. [Christ
Jesus]
(2Tim 2:5)
Moreover, no one who is an athlete wins a prize = unless he
competes according to the Rules.
“Shipwreck
Christians [?] – 101” …Blog.
***
(Jeremiah 12:5) If you have run with footmen, and they wore you out, then how can you compete with horses? And if
you feel secure in the land of peace; then
how will you do in the swelling of the Jordan?
***
(1Corinthians 9:27) No, I keep on beating my body and making
it my slave so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will NOT somehow
be disqualified. [John 10:27-28-29]
*** (Jude 1:3-4) Having made all haste to write to you
about the common salvation; beloved, I had need to write to you; to exhort you to ‘Contend
Earnestly’ for the [True] Faith; once delivered to the saints.
(Jude 1:4) For some people have slipped in; among
you unnoticed. They were written about long ago as being deserving of this
condemnation; because they are ungodly.
They turn the grace of our God into uncontrollable
lust and deny our only Master and Lord,
Jesus Christ.
“Earnestly
‘Contending’ for the: ‘True Faith’ – 101”…Blog [1/5]
Most of us
has at least one area in our lives that we “Excel in”. For many, it is their chosen career. For others, it is their Job,
where they fill a need: sometimes without much recognition. Whatever our
calling, even that of a “stay at home mother”: it is a ‘Calling from God!’ What
really makes our… “Position of being a Servant”… “(Matthew
23:11) But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant”… is simply
His calling upon our Lives! In whatever we do in this life… we are “His
Workmanship & His Representative” to a lost & dying world!
*** (Colossians 3:23-24-25) And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and Not
to men;
(Col 3:24) knowing that from the Lord you shall receive the reward of the
inheritance. For you serve
the Lord Christ.
(Col 3:25) But he who does Wrong shall receive justice for the wrong which he did,
and there is no respect of persons.
(Isaiah 32:17) And the work of righteousness
shall be peace; and the service of righteousness shall be quietness and hope
forever.
“Reasonable Service – 101” …Blog.
*** (Romans
12:1-to-4) I therefore urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercies, to offer
your bodies as living sacrifices that are holy and
pleasing to God, for this is the
reasonable way for you to
worship.
(Rom 12:2) “Do Not” be
conformed to this world; but continually be transformed
by the renewing of your
minds so that you may be able to determine what God's will is ->
what is proper, pleasing, and perfect. [2Corinthains 10:3-to-6]
(Rom 12:3) For by the grace given to me I ask every one of you ‘Not’
to think of yourself more highly than you should think; rather to think of
yourself with sober judgment on the measure of faith that God
has ASSIGNED each of you.
(Rom 12:4) For we have many parts in one body; but these parts do ‘Not’ all have the same function [office].
Each morning when I meet with Christ Jesus… in His Holy
Word, I spend the rest of the day, examining those Scriptures in my mind. When
we do this, we simply ‘Allow the Indwelling Holy Spirit’ to… “REARRANGE our
Thought Processes!” Hour human reasoning & human logic is REPLACED: with
His Holy Word & the Truth of His Holy Word. Christ Jesus is the Living Word
of God, did Always & Only the will of God! The sooner we know the
Scriptures and are willing to “Obey” [Luke 6:46 & James 1:22]
them; the more our minds will be “Transformed” into the “Mind of Christ!” Remember
what John the Baptist said…? “(John 3:30) He must Increase,
but I must Decrease.”

In You, the Hope of Glory – 101” …Blog.
***
(Ephesians 1:13-14) in Whom also you, Hearing the Word of Truth, the
gospel of our salvation, in Whom also believing, [Acts 15:8-9] you were Sealed with the Holy
Spirit of Promise,
(Eph 1:14) Who is the
earnest of our inheritance, to the
redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. [Romans
8:9]
*** (Hebrews 5:11-to-14) We have much to say about this, but it is difficult to explain Because you
have become too lazy to Understand.
(Heb 5:12) In fact, though by now you should be
teachers, you still need someone to
teach you the basic truths of God's word. You
have become people who need milk instead of solid food.
(Heb 5:13) For everyone who lives on milk is still
a baby and is inexperienced in the
message of righteousness.
(Heb 5:14) But solid food is for mature people, whose
minds are trained by practice to distinguish good from evil.
*** (2Corinthains 4:16) That's why we are not discouraged. No,
even if our outer man is wearing out, our
inner man is being Renewed: Day
by Day. [John 15:1-2-3]
*** (Isaiah 6:8) And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us
[Genesis 1:26]? Then I said: –> Here am
I: –> send me!
*** (Luke 14:26-to-30) If anyone comes to
Me [Jesus] and does Not hate his father and mother and wife and
children and brothers and sisters, Yes, and his own life also, he Cannot be My disciple.
(Luke 14:27) And whoever does Not bear his cross and
come after Me, he Cannot be My disciple.
(Luke 14:28)
For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and Count the Cost, whether he may
have enough to finish it;
(Luke 14:29)
lest perhaps, after he has laid the foundation and is Not able to finish, all
those seeing begin to mock him,
(Luke 14:30)
saying, This man began to build and was not able to finish.
*** (1Corinthains 9:16) For though I
preach the gospel, no glory is to me. For necessity is laid on me; yea: woe is to me -> if I do NOT
preach the gospel!
***
(Deuteronomy 18:13) Thou shalt be Perfect with the LORD thy God.
*** (Matthew 5:48) You be therefore Perfect; even as your Father [God] which is in heaven: is perfect.
