Wait a minute!

“(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)”

- ‭2 Corinthians 5:7 KJV‬

To those who say God judges you by what He SEES you doing in the FLESH (keeping the Law or not), wouldn't God be guilty of NOT being in faith?

Wouldn't that make the Holy Spirit guilty for not being flesh ever?

Wouldn't God be unjust to tell you to walk in faith if He Himself didn't do the same?

Here's the thing: over and over in scripture you see God being a viewer of the heart - seeing things empathetically and faithfully. He never judges a person based on the flesh or even their soul (1 Samuel 16:7), but rather He looks at the heart - the spirit.

So to place the impression that God looks at a person in the flesh, would consider the audience to believe God is not faithful. By that's not true, because God IS FAITHFUL! (1 Corinthians 1:9).

So therefore if God is faithful that means He is not judging you based on the flesh! He's looking at who you are in the Spirit: Messiah! ( Christ! )

And also therefore if you try to keep the Law (walk by a physical verifications) you are not in faith! And thusly, put yourself in bondage and then put Messiah MORE IN BONDAGE.

You didn't sweat over acknowledging the existence of something unseen (your salvation, God or Heaven), so why sweat over prosperity, health and financial stability when you can't see them yet?

Gifts from someone who loves you cannot be returned nor are they earned. ❤️

Any philosophy that renegades responsibility, empathy, unconditional love, honour, humility, character development and proper judgement of hearts based on the Truth, is not worth your time, reverence, nor trust.

A philosophy that is aligned with the Truth is a good fruitful branch to her vine, and is worth complete consideration and practice.

Be like the branch who produces abundant fruit that blesses his neighbour and makes peace with his enemy in the name of Love (who is also Truth), rather than the weed who seeks to keep its seeds for himself just to live in the name of survival while choking himself with the cares of this world.

You want change? Start with your incentives.

Trying to improve your spiritual growth by physical attributes (new habits, diets, lifestyles and religious practices etc.) does as much affect as you alone trying to change the ocean's currents by smacking the surface of the water. In fact, trying to use such attributes to improve your spiritual growth will only hinder it more.

The real change must begin within yourself, not with what's around you.

Change begins when you direct your incentive towards what is Truth and have Ahavah (God's kind of Love {described in 1 Corinthians 13}) motivate your actions.

Change begins when you are thankful for what you have rather than grieve over what you don't have.

Ministering to the Creator for Who He is and how much He loves you should be your first priority.

It takes more faith to help the Messiah more than it is begging Him to help you.

Challenge yourself. See that He believes in you more than you believe in Him and I guarantee you, blessing will be chasing you instead... but you'll be so motived by love, you won't even realise it. 😊

Raising Spiritually Minded Kids: Practical Ways to Nurture Faith at Home

Last Tuesday, a parent told me they felt completely lost when their eight-year-old asked why God allows bad things to happen. They wanted to raise spiritually minded kids, but didn’t know where to start at home. In Christian parenting, raising “spiritually minded” kids is essential for cultivating a lasting relationship with God, developing a biblical worldview in a secular culture, and fostering…

There is more to life than we think

There is a saying, It goes something like this. You can be so heavenly minded That you’re of no earthly good. True, I think, If by heavenly minded You mean the hereafter And not heavenly here. We need a new saying, It seems possible to me, You can be so earthly minded That you’re of no earthly good. True, I think, Because it seems to me That there is more to reality Than what is…
