Micah 6:8

He has told you, oh man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? But to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God."

This is what God wants you to do: Believe in the One He has sent."

And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

But as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

Ephesians 2:10

This morning rant is about the power of believing. It is up to us what we want to believe. Do we want to believe in Facts or Truth. Each one has results.

But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.

Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you.

Jesus *said to him, “Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.”

And Jesus said to him, “‘If You can?’ All things are possible to him who believes.”

As it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist.

This morning rant is about the consequences of listening or not listening to God. The choice is yours to make.

Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life, but he who rejects reproof leads others astray.

But if you will not obey these words, I swear by Myself,” declares the Lord, “that this house will become a desolation.”’”

Be careful and don’t refuse to listen when God speaks. Those people refused to listen to him when he warned them on earth. And they did not escape. Now God is speaking from heaven. So now it will be worse for those who refuse to listen to him.

He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.

Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.”

My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.

And he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you.

Psalms 119:18

Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a trumpet speaking with me, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things.”

30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.

31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

This morning rant is about how a believer is expected to behave. The bible tells us that we're God's workmanship. Today we're going to look at what that looks like in reality.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Do all things without grumbling or arguing.”

So that you may prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world.”

Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.

Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior;read more.

Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation.

and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame.

In this episode we look at a couple of verses that most people don't pay attention to at all unless the Holy Spirit brings it to your attention and show you the truth within that scripture. Housed in Mark 3:13-14 is the life and destiny of the disciple of Christ.

He went up to the mountain and summoned those whom He Himself wanted, and they came to Him, and He appointed twelve, that they might be with Him, and that He might send them out to preach.”

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.

And now the Lord says, he who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob back to him; and that Israel might be gathered to him— for I am honored in the eyes of the Lord, and my God has become my strength

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

2 And they came to Him

Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.

3 He appointed twelve, that they might be with Him,

Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.”

And he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one appointed by God to be judge of the living and the dead.

And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’”

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.

Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.

2 Timothy 2:16,

Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.

There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.

Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets; therefore do not associate with a simple babbler.

Mark 6:31

Jesus said to them, "Come away by your-selves to a secluded place and rest a while." (For there were many people coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.)

When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him.

Now when Jesus saw a crowd around Him, He gave orders to depart to the other side of the sea.

Immediately He made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He sent the crowds away.

Then He left the crowds and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”

This morning rant is about a question ask by Isaiah in chapter 21:11 of his book. This question is loaded with responsibility of the watchman. In this episode I try to look at some of those responsibilities.

A prophecy against Dumah: Someone calls to me from Seir, “Watchman, what is left of the night? Watchman, what is left of the night?”

And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.

“Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that ALL should come to repentance

Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?

Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding;

James 1:5-6

If you need wisdom-- if you want to know what God wants you to do-- ask Him, and He will gladly tell you. He will not resent your asking.

Proverbs 8:11-12

For wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her. “I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion.

For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict.

Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding,

The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight.
