Romans 12:1-21
Dedicated Service
I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
For through the grace given to me I say to every man among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. And since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let each exercise them accordingly: if prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith; if service, in his serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching; or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and curse not. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,” says the Lord. “BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS UPON HIS HEAD.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
It may be a heard concept to grasp,
But then;
Who did you ask in to Your life?
Who do you say You belong to?
Who is the one who sacrificed His life for You?
Who do you worship, and sing praises to?
Who are You a son or daughter of?
If You are not willing to obey and fallow after Christ,
to take what Jesus has spoken and play it out in Your life,,,,,,
Then who are you really serving????
Christ Jesus tells us “you shall Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and will all your Soul, and with all your Mind.
This is the great and foremost commandment.
The second is like it you shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Your neighbor is anyone the Lord brings in to your path, even those who do you wrong.
Forgiveness is as mush for the forgiver as it is for the one being forgiven.
The real question is,,,
Who will you serve?
Self or the Lord God.

Matthew 6:5-15
“When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.
But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.
And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words.
So do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
Pray, then, in this way:
Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions."
take the time right now and think about the last time you prayed in public,
O wait that’s right that’s something we do not do any more.
Blunt? Out of line? perhaps but for many true.
but if you do, do you have to used many words?
do you have to be seen and heard by others around you?
or do you set or stand quietly and simply talk with Jesus?
Jesus tells us that His Father knows your needs before you even ask.
praying or talking with God or Jesus should be personnel, if you are praying for someone ells it should be dune quietly showing reverence to Christ and to the situation you are in.
Christ gave us a pray to pray, simple and to the point, a pray that covers every situation we could ever be in.
It states who we are talking with: Our Father who is in heaven,
it give honor, authority showes a willingness to fallow and obey the one we are talking with:
Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.
it covers our need in this world:
Give us this day our daily bread.
it give us the path to live in peace and forgiveness:
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
finally we give the position of authority and power over all things to God, for eternity:
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.
Amen.
the most important thing that you can pray for anyone in any situation are theses words;
"Your will be done"
a short pray for someone who may be sick;
Lord God in heaven we come to you in the name of your Son Jesus asking for healing in this situation, we ask that Your will, will be done. Amen
what more needs to be said?

Matthew 6:1-4
“Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven. So when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be honored by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you."
These words of Jesus take into consideration that you are obeying the words, "love your neighbor as your self" for if you are /do then you will be helping others who are in need.
Jesus is telling us when we do so if we do it without having to let everyone know He has rewards for us, but if we have to tell others, then we already have a reward from man and miss out on the reward He has for us. man's reward is to boost our ego and only last for a little wall, rewards from Jesus are eternal, that we will have for eternity.
As a Christian you should be helping others who are on need, it is your responsibility to reach out to those in need, even a glass of water to one who is thirsty, a coat or blanket to one who is cold, a meal to one who is hungry, these things are simple for most in this country but their are those who might have food to eat but never enough to feel comforted, there may not be that many people that starve to death, but there are many who have not had a full meal in for some years.
i personally know of a elderly lady who for the last five years has lived alone and over that time she has eat less and less each month, and her straight has slowly dwindled, a few months a go someone started making sure she got three full meals a day and with in just a few days her straight, appearance and mental capacity has improved drastically, and this has taken place because someone stepped up and practiced the word of Jesus.
No one has come out and said look what i am doing,
no one has said look at me.
and their reward will be in heaven for them when they enter in to the presents of God.
And no it wasn't me. perhaps it should have been, but i didn't know what was going on until after the fact. a great flaw on my part.
thank about it, is there someone around you who is in need that you may not even be a wear of, this situation has opened my eyes, and made me much more a wear of those around me, has opened my heart to help others who are truly in need.
one thing i have over time i have learn: the ones who are truly in need (9 out of 10) will never say anything, they will not let you know, you need to pray to the Lord God to open your eyes and soften your heart to those around you, ask what He would have you do for them, and at that point be willing to do as He asked.
Are you willing to step out and quietly treat others as you would have them treat you, are you willing to give of your self to show the love of Christ to your neighbor?
Think about it.

Ecclesiastes 3:1
There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven—
A time to give birth and a time to die;
A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted.
A time to kill and a time to heal;
A time to tear down and a time to build up.
A time to weep and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn and a time to dance.
A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing.
A time to search and a time to give up as lost;
A time to keep and a time to throw away.
A time to tear apart and a time to sew together;
A time to be silent and a time to speak.
A time to love and a time to hate;
A time for war and a time for peace.
What profit is there to the worker from that in which he toils?
I have seen the task which God has given the sons of men with which to occupy themselves.
it is time to speak. evil need nothing to advance but except for the righteous to stay silent.
if your church lraders are not telling you it is time to stand up for wht is right, it might be time to find a new church.
if your church is telling you to give in to the coved shot it is time to get out NOW,
either you stand with Christ or you bow to eivel.
mrna causes canser to grow, every flrw shot has MRNA in it just read the lable.

Did you read the post from2/28/3023?
If you have go back and read aging,
If not go back and read it for the first time
Unlike what we have been brought to believe even from the church, you do not need more information every moment of every day, what you need is to apply what you have already heard. With out applying you are only wasting your time,,, your life.
think about it.
