Proverbs 3:3
3 Do not let mercy and kindness and truth leave you [instead let these
qualities define you];
Bind them [securely] around your
neck, Write them on the
tablet of your heart.
Bind:
1. To confine or restrain, as with a
chain, fetters or cord; as, bind him
hand and foot.
- To restrain in any manner.
- To oblige by a promise, vow, stipulation, covenant, law, duty or any other moral tie; to engage.
- To oblige to serve, by contract; as, to bind an apprentice; often with out; as, to bind out a servant.
A. We are being told (commanded) in very simple terms to live; mercifully, kindly, and truthfully.
B. In other words (literally) we are commanded not to live; cruelly, rudely, and falsely.
That tiny 3rd verse in the 3rd chapter, giving us 3 pillars we
must “act out”.
If our desire is to truly become
like Him.
There are many more pillars
In this Christ-Like-Life of ours.
We are after all building a house.
All of us.
Every single person born, when comes to that place of understanding, the construction begins.
It makes perfect sense Jesus is called our solid rock (foundation)
on which we stand.
Matthew 7:24-27
24 “Therefore, everyone who hears thesewords of Mine, and acts on them, will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
25 And the rain fell and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.
26 And everyone who hears these words of Mine, and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
27 And the rain fell and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and its collapse was great.”
So as I was saying, we all (humanity) are building spiritual houses. The key difference is, what has been laid as our foundation? The Holy Rock, or the beautiful like white sands on the seashore? (Oh yes! It is quite tempting)
That is a question only you and God know the answer too.
As those of you who have been reading my blog, (all 1-2 of you🤭) you may remember my
disappearance. Not to go over all that again, however my whole house had to be torn down.
I shamefully (thank God through Jesus who delivers from shame) had to have my whole house ripped up and rebuilt from the studs.
What Jesus did for me in snatching this “stoopid” child of His, out of a very deep gloomy demonic pit. I can never by His grace forget.
I was surrounded, I was entrapped.
I could not escape. I was in a terrifying position. I was in death.
Had my Saviour not left the 99 …
…
…
again!
I shudder to imagine my future.
So through my LORD I choose which pillars I desperately needed & wanted on & in my foundation.
- Holiness
- Obedience
- Truthfulness
- Loyalty
- Love
- Humility
- Generosity
- Healings
That was my restart.
{Funny thing I think you guys that have been reading my blog probably know I’m a gamer. Haven’t been able to play much lately as I would like. Anyway I said all that to say I did make an RPG stat page after all this had happened to me. I’ll put it up next. Maybe you’ll be inspired to make one of your own. BTOP-Back to our program}
Those are my “great eight” at that time. There are many more now and it seems I need to add two.
Awesome!
Mercy
Kindness
Thank you Father
If you need your house torn down.
Or renovated, or maybe you haven’t even begun building a Holy house as of yet.
Well now is a wonderful time to start.
You who needs it completely torn down and rebuilt from scratch.
Humble yourself before the LORD in prayer and worship and have a conversation.
I will not tell you what to say.
That is private between you and our LORD.
However I know that conversation must overflow with REPENTANCE!
After the LORD has stabilised you, I suggest because you are His child and not starting completely from scratch.
Hebrews
Start at the beginning and Eat It All.
If you read it desperately, you will study it desperately.
You will grow desperately.
You sir/madam-boy/girl-lad/lass who needs a renovation. You don’t need a complete overhaul or tear down, however you have laid by your fresh pillars, also ones of the flesh.
Things like:
Arrogance
Hostility
Lust
Things of this nature ought not to be a part of our lives. Repent, turn away,
install what PILLARS should be
grounded in your foundation.
For you I suggest the book of James, then 1st-2nd-3rd John.
I suggest also that YOU set aside a morning or afternoon and read all 4 books in one sitting. Calm down! They are not huge books. If it wasn’t for the fact you need to pay attention desperately. Probably could finish in about 45 minutes to an hour.
Now you little one, would you like to be saved?
Do you understand you are a sinner from birth?
Do you understand Jesus as God, allowed Himself to be born, of the creation He created to redeem it?
Do you believe this same Jesus
GAVE His life on a Roman Cross for the sins of the world which includes you?
Do you believe God the Father raised Jesus from the dead defeating death & the grave?
Yes?
Good!
Then talk to Him. Confess your sins to Him. Be honest with Him. He already knows everything, so hiding benefits you nothing.
Good!
After your done crying (we’ve all been there) and confessing, and inviting.
You are now born again! A new creature. Hallelujah!
For you I suggest:
The Gospel Of John
Then Romans
They are two very powerful books in the Holy Bible for the Christ-like way of life.
The Gospel of John shows you who Jesus always was, even before creation.
Romans shows you who
Jesus:
Always was
Always is &
Always will be.
The world and it’s people and their relation to Jesus
You and your new relationship with the LORD.
The doctrine of Christianity.
How you are expected to live.
What you can expect from Jesus.
Take your time, however don’t stagnate. Find yourself a small solid doctrine believing church.
I’d say no smaller than 30-50 to 350 members.
You don’t want to be in too large of a church. 500, 700, 1000, 2500 members. It is easy for wickedness to hide, and is extremely difficult for accountability to live. With a size like that it easily can become the devil’s playground.
Jesus had 12 & wasn’t one of them the devil? So you can imagine.
God bless you all
Jesus loves you all
I love you all
Also please say a prayer for me & friends of my family. We lost a soldier of the LORD’s army today. He went home after fighting for the LORD for decades.
He leaves his wife.
Two daughters,
and 5 grandkids.
Please pray for his family.
We do not mourn as the world does for we know we will see him again.
And let me tell you:
If the world truly understood what was lost when a frontline soldier of the battle is called home off the battlefield. They would as ancestors of old wear sackcloth, pour ash on their head and fall on their face, mourning and wailing.
They have no idea who is standing in the gap for them holding back all manner of wickedness in prayer over their lives and souls.
If you live next door to a true Christian, like you know they about that life. You should thank God for His blessings every day.
The fact your children have grown up safely & or are safe. Your household and possessions are in your hands well. Your appliances & house repairs last much longer than they should. No hard sicknesses running through your family.
Your neighbour is praying for you!
So you need to be thankful to God, for your quiet no big trouble Holy Bible believing Christians.
I miss my Big Brother Pastor Waters already. 😔
That Life
