Why God #3

Now that you have learned the answer to Why God in Why God 1 & 2. We now need to take a little bit more. Useing the Bible & saying It Is Written. Another thing that we must do is follow what the Word of God says. One big one is: Mark 11:25-26 25) "And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that you Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. 26) "But if you don not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses". Colossians 3:12-17 Put on the new man Therefore, as the elect of God, holy & beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, long suffering; 13) bearing with one another, & forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 14) But above all these things, put on love, which is the bound of perfection. 15) And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; & be thankful. 16) Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching & admoishing one another in psalms & hymns & spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17) And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Praying can also have you reading the Bible to God. So, you need to Love a lot more, to forgive a lot more. To Love & Forgive is what God has asked us to do. I know sometimes it's hard to forgive & then Love that person who has wronged you. You need help and asking God to help you do that. I know because when I was a child things happen to me and I had to forgive & love. Also, I had as an adult thing that was wrong done to me. Yes, it's very hard to forgive & love. And the devil still trying to bring it up. And I just tell him that I have chosen to love & forgive that person or persons. Plus, I tell him (the devil) to go talk to God about it as it was given over to Him (God). We need to forgive and if we do; we will follow even more what God tells us to do. Such as: to help & feed the poor, spread the Word. God tells us to believe, to have faith, to be patience, to love God & others. Useing the Fruit of the Spirit. Galatians 5:22-26 Fruit of the Spirit 22) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23) gentelness, self-control. Against such there is not law. 24) And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions & desires. 25) If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.26) Let us NOT become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. 1 Timothy 1:5 Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, & from sincere faith, 1 Peter 4:8-9 8) And above all things have fervent love for one another, for love will cover a multitude of sins." 9) Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. 1 John 4:12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, & His love has been perfected in us. We have learned forgiveness & love. We need to apply this to our lives & have His love perfected in us. We also need to learn thankfulness, praise, & give thanksgiving. We want to be in the present of God. Talking with Him, giving Him thanks, even reading His Word to Him. That would be His promises to us. Psalm 95:2 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. Psalm 100:4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with prise. Be thankful to Him, & bless His name; Philippians 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer & supplication, with thansgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 1 Timothy 4:4-5 4) For every creature of God is good, & nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; 5) for it is sanctified by the word of God & prayer We need our requests be made known to God. Just as you would ask your earthly dad about things, you need to make known (ask) to God your requests. Read the Word to HIM. Ask Him! He tells us to. So, what are you going to do? Obey, what God has told us to do. We need to forgive, to love, to praise, & to give thanksgiving to Him. Also He tells us to make our requests be made known to Him. That isn't much. Just add this to your defeating the devil. Remember It Is Written & know that it is written that Jesus Christ already defeated the devil. Enter Gods gates with praise & thanksgiving. For It Is Written!! Praise you Lord; Thank you for your promises & being able to win with your Holy Word! Praise you, We love you Lord!! Amen (so, be it)
