“2014 End of Year ACCOUNTING – 101”

(Luke 13:6-to-9) He [Jesus] also spoke this parable: A
certain man had a fig-tree
planted in his vineyard. And he came and
sought fruit on it, and
found none.
(Luke 13:7) And
he said to the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three [3] years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and find None. Cut it down, why does it encumber the ground?
(Luke 13:8) And answering, he said to him, Lord,
let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and throw manure.
(Luke 13:9) And if it bears fruit, well; and if not, then after that you shall cut it down.
(Hebrews 5:11-to-14) of whom we have much to say, and hard to be
explained since you are dull of hearing.
(Heb 5:12) For
indeed because of the time, you ought to be teachers,
you have need that one teach you again what are the first principles of the oracles of God. And you have become in need of milk, and not of solid food.
(Heb 5:13)
For everyone partaking of milk is unskillful in the Word of Righteousness, for he is an infant.[Immature]
(Heb 5:14)
But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, even those who
because of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
What will CHANGE in 2015…. IF: You do ‘Exactly’…
like You Did in 2014…? How can anyone expect DIFFERENT RESULTS…. When they
do the “Same THING”…? I do Not celebrate the New Year nor would I do anything
Different….. “Should Christ Jesus Return THEN”…! “Optimism & Positive
Thinking” will NOT Magically change your Circumstances! “Change” must come from
“Inside You”….! The Plane Crashes of 2014 do Not affect me! Even when I flew to
Hong Kong in September. I am use to Flying Domestically and Internationally!
Sorry NO, I do Not check the FAA Safety Bulletins concerning that airlines. “The
Just Shall Live by Faith”… and when my Lord calls me Home…. “That is His
Business!” Most are “NOT Prepared” for Eternity and are Shocked by such news
reports of Tragedies! NOT Knowing the Holy Word of God…. And Your TRUE
relatioionship with God…. “Always Causes Confusion”…!
*** (Ecclesiastes 3:2) a time to be born, and a time to
DIE; a time to plant, and a time to pull up what is planted;
*** (Hebrews 9:27) And as it is appointed to men once to die; but [immediately] after this the
judgment,

*** (Hebrews 10:38) Now, "the Just shall
live by faith. But if he draws back,
My soul shall have no pleasure in
him."
*** (Romans
1:17) For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."[John
7:38-39]
*** (Galatians 3:11-12) But that no one is justified by the Law in the sight of God is clear, for, "The just shall live by faith."
(Gal 3:12) But
the Law is not of faith; but, "The man who does these things shall live in
them."
*** (Job 5:6-to-9)For affliction does not
come forth from the dust, nor does trouble spring up out of the ground;
(Job 5:7) but man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
(Job 5:8)Truly, I would seek to God, and to God I would put my plea,
(Job 5:9)Who is doing great
things, even beyond searching; marvelous things without number,
*** (Job 2:6-to-10) And the LORD Jehovah said to
Satan, Behold, he is in your
hand, but save his life.
(Job 2:7) And Satan went forth from the presence of the
LORD Jehovah and struck Job with sore
boils from the sole of his foot to the top of his head.
(Job 2:8) And he took a broken piece of pottery to
scrape himself with. And he sat down among the ashes.
(Job 2:9) And his wife said to him,
Do you still hold to your integrity?
Curse God and die!
(Job 2:10) But he
said to her, You speak
as one of the foolish ones speak. What? Shall we receive
good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this Job did Not sin with
his lips.
*** (Matthew 5:45-to-48) so that you
may become sons of your Father in Heaven. For
He makes His sun to
rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
(Matt 5:46)
For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the
tax-collectors do the same?
(Matt 5:47)
And if you greet your brothers only, what do you do more than others? Do not
even the tax-collectors do so?
(Matt 5:48) Therefore be perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is
perfect.

Question: do You begin your
Day…. meeting with Christ Jesus in His Holy Word…? Or are your First Thoughts to check your
Phone? Many turn on the TV & News! I am now retired, but have a life time [30+
years] of starting my day with Him, IN: His Holy Word…! Even when I was working
8-10-12+ hour days, I always got up…. “One Hour Early”…! As a New Believer, I
learned this practice from Dr. Steven Oleford, from the Torchbearers in the UK.
He published a pamphlet called “Manna in the Morning!” Covenant Israel had to
get their Manna [Exodus 16]: their Bread of Life…. Before
the Sun Rose and it ‘Evaporated’. So too, when we put Christ Jesus FIRST: and
His Holy Word as the Bread of Life within our Minds & Hearts, we have God’s
Focus for Life! NO one can ‘’ Say they LOVE JESUS…. Without Loving His “Holy
Word”….! Because He is the Word Incarnate…!
IF: He is your Lord & Savior…. THEN: Isn’t it about Time for You to
Practice His… “Obedience”…? [John 8:28-to-36]

(John 15:1-to-4) I [Jesus] am the True Vine, and My Father
[God] is the Vinedresser.
(Joh 15:2) Every
branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away. And every one that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bring forth more fruit.
(John 15:3) Now you are clean through the Word which I have spoken to you.
(John 15:4) Abide in Me, and I in you.
As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it
remains in the vine, so neither can
you unless you abide in Me.
(John 15:5) I am the Vine, you are the branches.
He who abides in Me, and I in him, the
same brings forth much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

When he has made the face of it level, does he not cast out the dill and
scatter the cummin, and throw in the choice wheat and the chosen barley and the
spelt in its border?
(Isaiah 28:26) For his God instructs him to do right; his God teaches him.
(Isaiah
28:27) For the dill is not threshed with a threshing instrument, nor is a cart
wheel turned on cummin; but the dill is beaten out with a staff and the cummin
with a rod.
(Isaiah
28:28) Bread grain is crushed, but not always does one thresh it with threshing. And he drives the
wheel of his cart; and his horses do not beat it small.
(Isaiah 28:29)
This also comes out from the LORD Jehovah of Hosts, who is wonderful in wisdom, making
sound wisdom great.
