Oh, Baby!

This ties in with my post about going back to get the child.

(Luke 9:37-48) (ESV) Verses 37-43 give us the background for the last verses: 46-48. Jesus was approached by a man whose son was possessed by an unclean spirit. He had apparently had some contact with some of Jesus’ disciples, but they couldn’t cast the demon out. Jesus rebuked the demon, and the boy was healed. Please note: That demon was doing his absolute best to keep that boy from getting to Jesus when Jesus called the boy to come to him. He’ll do the same to you. Fear will rise up in you out of nowhere (He’ll never forgive me), then bitterness may come too (why should I care) (I’m tired of this), maybe even resignation to the problem (it’ll never change) (I’ll never be able to anyway). Satan will go so far as to put even people in your way to side-track you, and even lure you away again, and even further into the sin.

Here’s the other important part of this lesson. (Luke 46-48) An argument arose among them as to which of them was the greatest. But Jesus, knowing the reasoning of their hearts, took a child and put him by his side and said to them, “Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For he who is least among you all is the one who is great.”

Think about this for a minute. Who gets the most attention in the house? That’s right; the baby does. Now, when you’re born again, you’re a brand new baby in the Spirit. When you go back to get that child, you have to start from scratch. God is parenting that brand new baby through you. When I got that, I remembered how many times I said, “I’ll never say those things to my kids.” “I’ll never make my kids feel that way.” It wasn’t until I started telling that child (me) what God wants every child to know. “You’re precious and honored in my sight; and I have loved you with an everlasting love.” “You are my beloved son/daughter, in whom I am well pleased.”

When we’re parenting a baby, we have eyes open to whatever may be on the floor that could cause harm, we block the stairs off when they start crawling, we do all kinds of things to make sure the house is a safe place for them. We also, as they’re growing, introduce things to interest them in learning and discovering their world. We seek out toys that will stimulate their minds and curiosity. There’s no end to what we’ll do for that baby. What’s all that got to do with me and my recovery? Or with you and yours?

The smallest one is the greatest one because he/she has the greatest need, and the least knowledge and ability. This is a cue to us to spend some time preparing the house, to being watchful for things that could be harmful to us and our recovery. This is also a revelation that you and your recovery are not only needy of priority attention; but you are worthy of it. Yes, baby, you are worth it! Make your new self a priority!

What Have You Heard?

This scripture is an important one in terms of breaking off generational curses, and overcoming the negative and destructive effects of wrong choices and bad relationships. The reason it’s important is that what we hear about ourselves, what we believe about ourselves shapes how we see, carry, and behave ourselves. This really helped me put some destructive things behind me for good. I hope it helps you too.

(Luke 8:16-19)“No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light. Take care then how you hear, for to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away.”

Verse 17 gives us a revelation about sowing, and seed received into one’s heart. It confirms for us that what goes in comes out. It may come out in various ways, but it will come out. Seeds of negativity, derision, and rejection might come out as alcoholism, drug abuse, illicit sexual behavior, and such. In effect, now you’re manifesting that negativity, derision, and rejection by becoming “worthy” or deserving of negativity, derision, and the like. That’s the fruit of the seeds planted in your heart. Now you know why you want to be careful about what how you hear. It not only is important for us in terms of learning and growing in the LORD/Lord. This works the same way when we’re talking about people in the world too. When we listen to all that negative and destructive stuff, we grow more and more negative and destructive in our thinking and our behavior. Fortunately, we get to choose what we’ll take to heart and what we’ll ignore. That part about the lamp on the stand comes into it in this way. When we’re in that worldly, fleshly, hell bent to sin mode, don’t we seek out others like us, who are more than happy to cheer us on? They’re our biggest fans and best supports in our sin, aren’t they?

How About Some Good News?

(Romans 8:1-8) (ESV) There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. Jesus Christ came from Heaven to Earth, specifically to pay the price for every single sinner; past, present, and future. We no longer have to die when we sin. We can repent and correct ourselves. (1John 1:9) (Romans 8:26) This is why we can come boldly to the throne of grace. We don’t need to make the same mistake Adam and Eve did when they hid themselves. Isn’t it interesting that the first thing that comes over us when we sin is fear? Yeah, it’s the devil’s favorite one.

The whole 8^th chapter of Romans gives us better insight into the difference between then and now, saved and unsaved, and flesh and spirit. When we live according to the Spirit, we seek to bring life and peace into everything. Life is constant flow of beauty, laughter, growth; even routine is part of life. The difference is that heart, mind, and soul are all connected and affected positively by that life. Yes, there are downsides. There are tears, fears, and foibles; but they can’t overcome us. We can, however, overcome them in and by the Spirit. As the Word of God says, the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable. (James 3:17) Purity comes from the unadulterated Word of God, and His grace and mercy toward us. (We know that He loves us) (Jeremiah 29:11) God’s plans are to prosper us and not to harm us; to give us a hope and a future. Doesn’t that give you peace?! Yeah!

Now, here’s your absolute assurance that you can break off those generational curses, the pain can be healed, and you, and your children, can defeat those curses and overcome them. (Psalm 33:11) The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations.

(Matt. 12:31) Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Merriam Webster defines blasphemy as the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for God. Also, the act of claiming to be a deity. Finally, irreverenceof something sacred or inviolable. (Mark 3:28-29)

That doesn’t mean we’re not going to have to give account to the Lord, but He does have the right to demand that, doesn’t He? After all, He’s the one who paid the price for it. When you think about the two greatest commandments, any sin we commit could make God question our love for Him, for ourselves, and for others. Naturally, we all want to be, do, and live better than that, don’t we?

Getting Personal

There is such sin as personal sin, which includes things like gluttony, smoking, drugs, etc., They’re things you’re doing to your body, and that’s between you and God. But, when you take another look at them, are you really the only person those things are affecting? Have you seen the “600 Pound Life” show? Everyone is sucked into that whirlpool of gluttony and co-addiction. There’s such a thing as second-hand smoke, which we now know is harmful. And the havoc that drug abuse wreaks in a family’s life is absolute hell. So, those sins really aren’t that personal in nature after all, are they? When we look closely, we’ll find that most sin isn’t just a personal affair; someone is always at risk of being affected in one way or another. That’s why God is so adamant about our living sinless and righteous lives.

(1Cor. 6:18-20) Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. Sexual immorality is defined as, “Interpersonal activity involving sex organs that does not conform to God’s revealed laws governing sexuality,” according to biblestudytools.com and Christianity.com.

(1Cor. 6:9-12) Read all three verses, please, but the one I want to concentrate onverses 9 &10first:: Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. In verses 12 & 13, Paul says, “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything. “Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

Sexual immoral behavior is that one-night-stand thing that becomes habitual, any type of illicit sex, which includes adultery, and prostitution. If we give it a closer look, and the sex is consensual, you are sinning against your own body, even in adultery because you are one with your spouse/mate. But really, when you think in terms of putting stumbling blocks in front of others, or causing others to sin, you’re also sinning against them in that way. (Matt. 18:7) When it comes to these sins, they are personal sins and, unless the person(s) involved choose to reveal them to another, are between the person(s) involved and God. They are nobody else’s business. If they are revealed to us by the person(s) involved, we are obligated to tell them the truth and try to get them back on the right track. And, of course, pray for them. When it comes to the homosexuality thing, this is also true. That’s between the person(s) involved and God. We don’t have the right to judge and condemn anyone, for any sin; so, that’s best left to the Lord, who is The Judge. (Matt. 10:15)

What Paul says in verses 12 & 13 is that we can do anything we want to do, but not everything we do is going to be helpful to us, and some will be really harmful. We can do anything we want to do, but do we want to be enslaved to (dominated) by what we do? Example: I start out by eating a bacon cheeseburger once a month. Suddenly, I’m craving them once a week. Now, because I choose not to say no to the craving, I’m eating one every day, and I’m in tears as I eat it because I know it’s making me fat and harming my health. And I can’t stand it! This is how I felt by the time I finally got serious about quitting cigarettes. This is another way in which we sin against our own bodies. We miss the mark by destroying our health, and sometimes even our sanity.

Getting Back Into Sin

No, no; not the way you think! We’ve got the outline in my previous post. Now, let’s go through it piece by piece. Starting with this truth: We are all sinners. God’s grace and God’s Word give us the power to overcome that.

(1John 1:5-10) (ESV) This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Since it all begins within, let’s talk about that light and darkness thing, and truth. In God there is no darkness at all. That means there is no lie and no deception, no untruth. The scripture tells us that if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and we are walking in darkness. (Eph. 4:17-18) To walk in light means to walk with higher understanding, which requires reasoning, rather than to walk by natural instinct or inclination, like animals do. Animals cannot reason. (Romans 1:21-23) So, how does that translate to things like making the bed and establishing order, cleanliness, and beauty in your home? God is a god of order and peace, and beauty. (1Cor. 14:33) (Psalm 27:4) (Ecclesiastes. 3:11) As you can see, order and beauty make for peace, order and peace are beautiful, and peace and beauty are the order of the day. I’ve covered the effects of chaos around us vs order and cleanliness in previous posts, so I’ll go on to the peace within.

Having peace within is crucial to being able. When Elijah was hiding in the cave, it was in the still small voice that the LORD spoke the answer. Elijah had been so upset that he was finished and ready to die. (1Kings 19:3-18) That tells us that God wants us to be at peace within. When Jesus was born, the proclamation to mankind was “Peace on Earth and goodwill toward/among men.” (Luke 2:14) Most of the greetings in the letters of the disciples included, “peace to you.” This lets us know that we need to squash negative thoughts like fear, anger, shame, guilt, and doubt, and condemnation/self-condemnation. Jesus also let us know that in (Matt. 7:3) and (Matt. 9:4). He also addressed doubt and fear in (Matt. 14:31) Matt. 8:26) When it comes to guilt and shame, the two women-the one who wept at his feet, and the one in the crowd who touched his garment come to mind. (Luke 7:37-47) (Luke 8:43-48) That’s why forgiveness is so important; it restores us to peace. That’s what Jesus said to the woman who touched his garment. “Your faith has healed you; go in peace. When we are at peace, we can concentrate better on creating and keeping order and beauty. –within, in our homes, at work, in our communities, in our world.

All the scripture references I gave you in my post on sin, are filled with, not only the truth about sin, but also about God’s love for us. He loves us so much that he wants us to live without sin in our lives. He warned Adam and Eve about the end result of sin, which is death-the death of peace, right understanding and reasoning, health, opportunity, and so many other things. As we read through them, we get a better understanding of sin and God’s love for us. There is so much peace to be gained by that better understanding. (Isaiah 51:11-13)

747 – A Big One!

(Luke 7:47)(ESV) Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.” This one is a biggie. It shows us that what goes in comes out. I believe that this is exactly why God does not impute iniquity to His children. He sees us as He sees Jesus. (Matt. 3:17) Jesus talked about receiving things into our hearts. He also told us that our of our hearts we bring good treasure of bad treasure. (Luke 6:45) We need to stay constantly aware of this when we’re dealing with people; especially those little people we’ve been given charge of by the LORD. It’s also a biggie when you’re hearing all the wrong stuff over and over again-be it in your present or your past. Human beings are fallible; and we get wounded and scarred. Jesus kept the scars so we don’t have to.

This ties in with building the house on a solid foundation. (Matt. 7:24-27) We are building a temple for the Holy Spirit. We are raising up kings and queens in the earth. This is where we need patience, kindness, and all the other stuff in (1cor. 13:3-13) comes in. It’s always easier to apply things to others than it is to ourselves. But when we’re in recovery from our past lives, and recovering our lives, do we want to recover the same things that hurt us? NO, absolutely not! So, we have to take a different direction than the one our parents took, our former spouse, partner, etc., and this includes ourselves as well. When we’re caught up in all that stuff, we learn to cope (survive); and we’re not always on the money with it. Matter of fact, we’re usually doing it wrong. That’s why it doesn’t work. We need to see our children, others, and ourselves as God sees us; “precious and honored in His sight.” We need to see the best in each one, in every situation, and not automatically assume the worst. (Philippians 4:8) Verse 9 goes on to say: “What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.” So, thinking on those things brings peace to the situation, to everyone involved. –Most of the time it brings peace to everyone involved. I was a teenager once, and I’ve had some teenagers. They’re not always at peace with the decisions we make.

When it comes to sorting out the sin in your life, and this is why I added this post before we delve a little deeper into the sin thing, it all has to be looked at according to the scriptures above. It has to be checked against them-they are God’s Word and Way. When we do that, we can see the truth in that sin, which is the distress and death it’s bringing into your life. Then, we can make better choices and implement the things we need to, to make the changes that will bring peace.

Forgiveness is a letting go of the sin. I can acknowledge it as sin, but I don’t have to allow it to create distress and death in my heart. I can implement the things I need to and make changes that will rectify the situation, and bring peace and progress. Love is crucial to peace, in every human being. God is love, and we are created in His image, and after His likeness. We need to remember that whenever shame, guilt, and fear would try to overcome us. (Psalm 103:12) (Psalm 32:5) (Isaiah 38:17) (Isaiah 43:25) We need to keep them in mind when we’re feeling impatient, frustrated, or angry. Cast that thing/ those things behind your back, and look for the treasure (noble, excellent, praiseworthy, etc.).

Saturday Silly-September 16, 2022

I have a few birthdays to remember this month, and one of them is my Dad’s. All this talk about Heaven, Hell, and sin in the last two posts, reminded me of our arrival at the military airbase in South Korea. Yes, as a matter of fact, it was hell for me! I was a teenager and two years in South Korea was NOT on my agenda! But the story has to do with Dad.

There we were, waiting for suitcases to be inspected. Now, here’s where sin rears its head in this story. There was a man at that airport who must have been addicted to naked women. Either that, or he was building himself a harem of Playboy and Hustler hotties. Anyway, My dad put his suitcase on the platform where they were inspecting them. I’m still laughing today. When that inspector opened that suitcase up, my dad’s face went ghost white. He whirled around, looked at my mother, and exclaimed, “They’re not mine, Honey; I swear they’re not mine!” It seems my dad and that other guy had identical suitcases. My mom just laughed. You could tell she was thinking, “like that stash would have gotten by me…” Now you can see how somebody else’s sin can affect you. I thought my dad was going to have a heart attack.

Lots Of Sin In The Bible

There are various kinds of sin. There is sin that is actually just missing the desired goal/behavior, etc. Then there’s sin that happens in the heat of the moment, like angry outbursts when we say stuff we don’t really mean. It can cause rifts between people. One of the messages in God Calling, by A.J. Russell, says that in Heaven the distance between two people is a harsh word, or unkind act. Anything that is contrary to the two greatest commandments (Love the LORD, and love your neighbor as yourself), is sin. Jesus said that to do unto others as we want them to do to us is the law and the prophets. We want the LORD to love us, so we love Him. We want to live peaceful, happy, and long lives, so we love ourselves (taking care of our health, not engaging in things that can harm us, etc.) We want others to respect us, to be kind, helpful, etc., so we respect them, we’re kind, and we’re helpful to them. There’s that word that sums it all up: NAMASTE – I honor the divine in you. I’ve put together some groups of scripture dealing with sin. When we read the letters of the disciples, we can find some pretty thorough explanations and exhortations. As usual, I’m reading from the (ESV).

(1John 5:16-17)If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life—to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. There is sin that leads to death; I do not say that one should pray for that. All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death. (1John 1) (Proverbs 20:9) (Romans 3:23)

(Romans 5:12-13) Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned—for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. (Romans 6:20-23)

(Genesis 4:6-7)The LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is contrary to you, but you must rule over it.” (Romans 6:12) (Romans 1 & 2) (1 John 3)

(James 1:13-15) Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. (Romans 13:9-10) (Hebrews 4:12-16)

(Romans 8:5-8) For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. (Romans 7:23) -Actually, the whole book of Romans deals with sin and obedience to God, and the difference between flesh and spirit. The whole book of James also addresses sin; especially that which comes from the heart. Galatians deals with falling back into sin. Old habits are hard to break. I encourage you to read them all.

Old habits are hard to break; but with God all things are possible. It comes down to a choice to love yourself better. When you do that, you can love others better. It all starts with loving God and letting Him love you.

Whoa! But It’s Going To Be Alright

This is a little heads-up kind of thing, and hopefully, a reason for someone to check out just who this Jesus is. I was compelled to post this for you all this morning.

(Luke 6:20-26) (ESV) And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. “Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh. “Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man! Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets.

“But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. “Woe to you who are full now, for you shall be hungry. “Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep. “Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets.

What??? Woe to me? I’m a child of God! LOL Do you remember what Jesus said in (John 16:31-33) Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

There isn’t a single human being who can escape that tribulation. (Deut. 4:30) (Deut. 28:15) (Psalm 18:6) (Psalm 107:6) Not the unbeliever; and certainly not the believer. That’s why taking joy in sinning, living a Godless life, and mocking Him and His Word is a fearful thing. I think, for us as children of God, that calamity, tribulation, and distress is even worse. We know how tough it can be when we’re getting it right. The stuff that comes against some of us is horrendous. But we also know how wonderful it is when we’re getting it right; because God is our shield and strong fortress. (Psalm 5:12) (Proverbs 2:11) (Psalm 84:11)

(Gal. 6:7) tells us that God is not mocked, and that we will reap what we sow. That’s the reason for the “woe unto you.” Some seeds take a little longer to sprout and grow, and produce their fruit. But, the fruit will come. What goes in comes out. (Luke 6:43)

So what does that have to do with me, as I am a child of God? First, let me tell you the wicked are not the only ones who don’t get to rest. God will not let you just stop, child. He’s just like my mother; He will find something for you to do! And, thank you, LORD/Lord. The story is from strength to strength and glory to glory. (Psalm 84:7) (2Cor.3:18) Yes, child, you will weep. You cannot have the heart of Jesus, and not weep for the world that’s dying, and over the things that go on in it. (Luke 19:41) (John 11:33) Finally, there is a spirit of deception in the world, and it is getting stronger and stronger. None of us is exempt from the deceiver’s attempts to throw us off. Jesus faced him in the wilderness; and we’ll face him in one form or another until he is destroyed forever. (Mark 13:5-6) (Mark 13:22) (Luke 6:16) (Matt. 10:36)

If you don’t know the Lord, I encourage you to get to know Him. If you are a child of God, hang in there, I weep and pray with you, and, be careful what you hear. (Mark 4:24)

Thou Shall Forgive Thyself

(Matt. 9:5-6) “For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’? But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” -It’s okay to let it go and move on; Jesus said you could. (Mark 16:17)

I’m going to talk about the importance of forgiving yourself today. It’s not just the “past” you have to forgive yourself for. Every day, every time you mess up, be it something small (burnt toast), or huge, (flooded the house) (fell off the wagon), etc. Every time, it’s important to acknowledge what went wrong, what you did or didn’t do to cause it, and to let go of it. Then, you correct yourself; you make it right. We can’t live in self condemnation and expect to make progress. We are not the condemned; we are the redeemed in Christ Jesus. (Luke 6:38) “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” Remember that what goes in comes out.

(Luke 9:62) I included this scripture because it’s exactly what can happen when we do keep looking back at the mess. You’re looking back and going all over the field instead of in a straight line. You can’t watch where you’re going if you’re only looking back at where you’ve been. (Philippians 3:13)

(Luke 6:43-45) –What you don’t let go of, is still on, or in you. What you hold on to in your heart has a hold on you. This is why forgiveness is important; especially, forgiving yourself.

(Luke 6:46-49) –Building the house equates to building yourself (body, mind, heart, soul) up, because you are the temple of the Holy Spirit. When you’re looking for a place to build, even a little hut, you look for solid ground. Why would you build a temple on anything else? (Hebrews 6:1) Why do you want to tear the whole house down, just to fix a broken window?

(Matt. 9:2), (Matt. 9:22), (Psalm 31:4), (Psalm 27:14), (Psalm 29:11) See how many you can find in the Bible. They’ll give you so much strength and peace.
