What does God hate?

The Bible tells us in Proverbs 6:16-19(ESV)

There are seven 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 evil, a false witness who
breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers. 

*What does haughty eyes mean-Act better than others, superior,
look down upon, prideful!

*What does a lying tongue mean-Purposely not telling the truth!

*What does hands that shed innocent blood mean-Murder, abortion,
sacrificing!

*What does a heart that devises wicked plans mean-Scheming, plotting
evil!

*What does feet that make haste to run evil mean-To bring pain and harm
to others!

*What does false witness mean-Swears that something untrue is
true!

*What does sows discord mean-Deceitful act done through sneakiness
and lies!

**These are things we should avoid!!

Are you bearing the right kind of fruit?

Keep in Step with the Spirit

Paul lists the attributes of the Holy Spirit, which appear in Christians when they have the holy spirit living in them, and when the Holy Spirit lives within us, we begin to be more Christ like. 

Galatians 5:16-25 ESV

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

When we lack fruit:

We become susceptible to the enemies lies.
We don't live correctly.
We could fall into sin and temptations
(there are fruits of the flesh as well as fruits of the spirit)
we need to avoid fruits of the flesh.

Some people will stop after they pray and repent. Committing
your life to Christ is a full-time commitment. 

God knows what is best for us and has a plan for
each and everyone.

Are you a true Christian or by name only?

We are known by the fruits we bear, are you bearing the
right fruit? 

Are you REALLY a Christian? 

If not I urge you to pray and repent, God loves you,
God thinks you were worth dying for. Will you live for him? 

John 3:16-21 ESV

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son,
that whoever believes in him should not perish but have
eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to
condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved
through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but
whosoever does not believe is condemned already, because he
has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this
is the judgement: the light has come into the world, and the
people loved the darkness rather than the light because their
works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things
hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works
should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to
the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have
been carried out in God.

Have you ever examined your life, really examined?

Have you ever examined your life, 
really examined?

You can't fix what you don't acknowledge, and you can't
heal what you don't reveal.

We all have our problems, but as an adult, it is our 
responsibility to seek help. And that help my friend
Is Jesus Christ! Have you accepted him as your
personal savior?

I am in no means, saying what you have been through, is
ok! Sometimes life can be unfair. Sometimes we are dealt a
bad hand, but we can take those broken pieces and make 
something beautiful.

Your story, might save someone else's life. Maybe, what you
have been through, was a way of building your character.
You do have a choice, take what you have been given and
turn it into a master-piece and live a life of peace and joy
through Jesus Christ, or play the victim card, and be a
negative Nancy, and woe as me type, and remain miserable.
The choice is yours. God gives us a choice, he loves us so
much, that he let's us have free-will.

We can remain broken or we can take it upon ourselves and
build a beautiful life. Roman 10:9 If you declare with your
mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God
raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Now you may be saying, I'm perfectly fine, then great, I am
happy for you! But are you really? The Bible says to examine
ourselves, to see if we truly are. 2 Corinthians 13:5 
Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test
yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—
unless, of course, you fail the test? 

We all have that same enemy after us(Satan). And the enemy
loves to come in and destroy our lives. James 10:10 The
thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come
that they may have life, and have it to the full. 

Who do you choose my friend? Do you choose the enemy or
God, who loves you more, than anyone!

Time to stop blaming others -"Ouch"- You might be saying
but....you have no idea what I have been through.....You
have no idea what they have done to me....or what they said.
Trust me I understand. But there comes a time in your life,
when you got to stand up and take responsibility and say...
Enough is enough. You can't change them or the circumstance,
but the good news is: You can change YOU! Matthew 6:14 
For if you forgive other people when they sin against you,
your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

One of the hardest things to do is forgive the one who
wronged you. Forgiveness is for YOU, so that you can release
and let go. People confuse forgiveness with trust. You can
forgive and move on, but if they have broken your trust, then 
trust is up to them, trust is earned not given. You can forgive 
someone and set healthy boundaries, or choose to never see
them again. That is up to you. 

What does the bible say about boundaries? 1 John 2:15-16 
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves
the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in
the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the
pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.

Whatever your issue is, you can't be around
other people who are like that, for if you do, you will slip back
into, what you are working your way out of, make sense? 

1 Corinthians 15:33 Do not be misled:
“Bad company corrupts good character.”

Now, you are sitting there thinking, now wait a minute, what 
am I suppose to do, stay away from everyone? No, that's
impossible, but you can, limit your exposure and set healthy
boundaries or choose to opt them out of your life, so you can
live in peace and harmony. You don't have to have anyone in
your life that you don't want to, but, we are suppose to love 
and forgive. Give it to God, let him take care of it. God can
take care of things, way better than you ever could! 

Matthew 5:44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray
for those who persecute you. 

We need to hangout with people who lift us up, such as
others Christians, so we can help each other stay on the
correct path.

You do have a choice, it's in no way, shape or form easy.

But through Jesus Christ you can! Philippians 4:13 I can do
all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Steps to Take!

Acknowledge

Reveal and Heal

"Promises of God"

2 Peter 1:4 And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

Matthew 11:28-2 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Isaiah 40:29-31 He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.

Even youths will become weak and tired,
and young men will fall in exhaustion.
But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint.

Philippians 4:1 And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.

Romans 8:37-39 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Proverbs 1:33 But all who listen to me will live in peace,

untroubled by fear of harm.

John 14:27 I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.

Romans 10:9 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.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.

I hope you enjoyed, these scriptures!
