Born A Sinner!

By nature we are born sinners due to Adam's disobedience in the Garden! But through Jesus' obedience to the Cross, we are made righteous!




A child learns at a very early age if they have a temper tantrum, it gets their parent's attention; and many get the very thing their parents said they could not have.  It is not learned behavior, but our sinful nature! As a parent, we are to correct the behavior in Godly love, and be consistent with what you will and will not accept! Do not take this out of context when an infant cries, because that is there only way to communicate to us they are hungry, sick, have a dirty diaper, etc. If a child is not corrected of right and wrong, the behavior can escalate into a level that is harmful to others and themselves!
Sin has damaging consequences, as you just previously read, when we are not mindful of it! Our bodies need food for nourishment and to maintain our strength and health; yet over eating is sin! It can develop into obesity that limits your movement, deteriorates your health and strength, and your quality of life! Another sin the world has come to view as insignificant is sex! It too has damaging effects when misused and leads to death! God made sex for our pleasure between a husband and wife!

I can't stop there, I have to add one more truth of our sinful nature! It's gossip; constant negative talk of loved ones, friends, strangers, etc. Ninety-nine percent of the time, people who are hurting inside do not know how to handle their afflictions so they do it the best way the know how ~ anger, lying, addiction, or abuse. Our spiritual responsibility is to give it to God in prayer, stay in love, and watch Him work in ways you could not have imagined! Prayer is powerful! 

 However, if you are prompted by the Holy Spirit to help, then do so! BUT PLEASE REFRAIN FROM DEGRADING THEM! We have no idea what they are experiencing at home!


We war against the flesh daily - sin and righteousness! For example: You receive unexpected money. The flesh is saying, "I can buy that white suit now, but the Spirit says, I want you to pay your delinquent light bill! Your sinful nature tells you to do something for the self, spirit commands you to put others ahead of your needs and do what is right for the household!

Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, 21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 5:20-21 NKJV)

 Jesus struggled also before He went to the Cross, but in His agony and struggle, He obeyed the Holy Spirit and never sinned! Therefore, when we believe Jesus died for our sins and choose to be baptized, all our sins are forgiven!

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” 5 If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. (Galatians 5:13-17 NIV)

ALL Things Become NEW!

Every "New Year" brings new things, but we must transform our minds and hearts to let go of the old and embrace the new. Once a door is closed in the spirit, it cannot be opened, yet we hold on to the past that keeps our minds trapped to something that is debilitating rather than enlightening. Thoughts and words have power, and scripture tells us in Proverbs 18:21, "Death and Life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." It has been studied that words of encouragement brings confidence in a person, good mental health, they believe in themselves to do well in life, they have better physical health, are more resilient, have good coping methods, know they are loved,  and have a calm spirit. Negative words are harsh and cause anger in a person, stress, they lose confidence and self-worth, they give up and feel there is no hope for them in anything they do, and no one loves them; in addition they are prone to depression and a...

A Lost Service?

There are so many things lacking in our lives today and the only thing that is going to fill that void is serving Yahweh and serving others. Volunteering and serving others and Yahweh (which he called himself [a servant]) breaks that spirit of selfishness, self gratification, and self destruction.   Teens volunteering which builds character and great leaders  Scripture reads in Proverbs 16:27 Ethiopian Bible: 27  An ungodly man digs up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire. Which translates a ungodly man looks for trouble and manipulates others to do unlawful    acts. Many have heard this verse as, “Idle hands is the devil’s workshop.” Hands represent honest work in the Bible, or doing what is right in the eyes of Yahweh and man. The Bible also speaks of unclean hands that do bad things or are works of the devil. If you are sitting around in your feelings, get out and volunteer, help someone, serve at a food pantry, start a neighborhood garden; someth...

Let the "Light" Shine

Early Parchment of The Constitution Early American Settlers We are dealing with devils in the leadership in America and here’s the hypocrisy of it all, ALL of them that has been in office from the beginning of America’s birth, have overlooked lynching, starvation, terrorism of the Klu Klux Klan (KKK), lying, hate, sexual impurity, killing defenseless woman and children, just deep oppression - and want to say America was founded on Biblical foundations. Now whose Bible or whose Yahweh is this that promotes violence, evil, hate, and injustice? Yahweh gave Moses laws, instructions and promises to give to the people to live by and many call it the Ten Commandments, which Yahweh gave Moses hundreds of laws and there is no place, I have read, that this is the ten commandments.  What I read is that Yahweh gave them unto the people so that they will not sin and fear Him and obey His Commandments with favor, which is life, in the land. But this is just the beginning of the laws Yahweh gave ...
