Keep up the Faith!

Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.
Matthew 10:39 | NIV 

 Many pastors and preachers misinterpret this verse. What it  means is that when we follow God, we don't keep our life. What I mean is that we don't are about ourselves anymore but we care about God. What Jesus is saying is that if we try to live and be like our old life selves, our search is useless and we are in danger of hell. Jesus never said that following Him would be easy. He said that following Him would never be easy. It is a life of trials and tests as well as the blessings of God.  God always give us strength and fills us with His Spirit so that we can overcome these challenges or obstacles. When we face challenges, we can't blame God. He is the giver of GOOD gifts, remember?
"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." - James 1:17
So you see? God is the giver of good gifts! Does anger or death come from God? No, because He is the giver of good gifts. Satan has come to kill, steal and destroy not give gifts! Keep up the Faith!

Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3.  Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers?  Answer: This is because of your heart. Before you ask this question you must ask yourself, am I pure? Have I sinned by mistake and need forgiveness? Or are my thoughts starting to make my light darken? Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...

Christ Died For Me! Romans 5:8

"But God shows His love for us on that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" - Romans 5:8 Sin. God. Not friends. God tells us to love one another, but we only have one enemy. Satan. The person who wants to wipe out mankind forever. One of his main servants is Sin. Something that cannot get is close to God. But how does he bait us in? How? Worldly pleasures. Money, Fame, Huge businesses, Children and everything you could ever wish for. Satan shall give you these things but they shall not last long. Only things from Jesus last eternal, if we follow Him. SEE Joel 2:32 Jesus paid a big price to make us clean and pure. He died. It was only a heavenly body that could rescue us. Why not the Angels? You may ask. You see, they needed to be in the form of a human, which could not be possible before Jesus died. So God sent his Son. He gave up his pride and joy. His most beloved son. SEE John 3:16. We do not have to pay that huge debt. We would have to DIE if Jesus had not d...
