Godly Aesthetic 02/21/2022

Godly Aesthetic Having a Godly Aesthetic Aesthetic Definition: concerned with beauty or the appreciation of beauty. There is a lot of focus on having the right aesthetic, the right look, the right style of the Instagram page all for the sake of aesthetics. What does a holy aesthetic look like to God's scriptures? Lets see what I have to say about aesthetics We should want the king to desire us and not everyone else. “and the king will desire your beauty. Bow down to him, for he is your Lord.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭45:11‬ ‭CSB‬‬ We should fear the Lord, that's where we will receive praise. “Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord will be praised.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭31:30‬ ‭CSB‬‬ Aesthetics are based on perception We are concerned with the right outfit and the right feed planner and not of that matters to Jesus. God looks at the heart. The world only sees what you put on and what you post, Jesus sees what only is available to him: The heart! We must not be conformed. While I love fashion and wear what I think looks cute on me. I think there is a line that needs to be drawn if you start to look so much like the world that nothing is different, nothing is standing out, nothing is set apart and nobody can see the light of Jesus in you. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2 What is Holy Aesthetic? Focus on The Heart Don’t let your beauty consist of outward things like elaborate hairstyles and wearing gold jewelry or fine clothes, 4 but rather what is inside the heart[]—the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. 1 Peter 3:3-4 But the LORD said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The LORD doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” 1 sam 16:7 Focus on Holiness For the Scriptures say, “You must be holy because I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:16 Holiness is being set apart Set apart by (or for) God, holy, sacred The Digest If we look the same... how will anyone be able to decipher change in us? How do you want others to perceive you? Is my outfit the latest? What's my IG aesthetic? Or by the way, you rep the King? Are you drawing people to his light and his glory vs having the right aesthetic from the world's view?

Rapture Ready ! Share this ! 09/19/2020

Rapture Ready ! Share this ! Could this be it? There is a lot talk about the rapture Rapture 1 Thess 4:17-18 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died[] will rise from their graves. 17 Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. 18 So encourage each other with these words. This weekend is the Feast of the trumpets in Israel. I don't understand much of what is happening but there was a Abrahams Accord just signed by President Trump Resurrected Body 1 Corin 14:50-55 50 What I am saying, dear brothers and sisters, is that our physical bodies cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. These dying bodies cannot inherit what will last forever. 51 But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed! 52 It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed. 53 For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies. 54 Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die,[] this Scripture will be fulfilled: “Death is swallowed up in victory.[] 55 O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?[]” Matt 24-25 Go Read IT! Deception will be on the rise Sin will be rampant 17-18 Must not go back ! v.31 And he will send out his angels with the mighty blast of a trumpet, and they will gather his chosen ones from all over the world[]—from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven. “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself.[] Only the Father knows. 37 “When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day. 38 In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat. 39 People didn’t realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. That is the way it will be when the Son of Man comes. 40 “Two men will be working together in the field; one will be taken, the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding flour at the mill; one will be taken, the other left. 42 “So you, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know what day your Lord is coming. 43 Understand this: If a homeowner knew exactly when a burglar was coming, he would keep watch and not permit his house to be broken into. 44 You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected. How can you be saved ? Repent God created you He Loves you and he wants a relationship with you You are a sinner and you need a savior Jesus is the only way to the Father You respond by Faith Romans 10:9-10 If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart you will be saved. You need to be saved John 1:12 Accept Jesus in your life Invite him in your life! Pray ! Dear Jesus, I know that my sin has seperated me from you. Thank you that Jesus Christ died in my place. I ask Jesus to forgive my sin and to come into my life. Please begin to direct my life. Thank you for giving me eternal life. In Jesus name , Amen /episode/index/show/gloribites/id/16072838

Jesus wants you unmasked! 07/14/2020

Jesus wants you unmasked! You cant hide nothing from Jesus! The Bite Luke 12:1-3 MSG By this time the crowd, unwieldy and stepping on each other’s toes, numbered into the thousands. But Jesus’ primary concern was his disciples. He said to them, “Watch yourselves carefully so you don’t get contaminated with Pharisee yeast, Pharisee phoniness. You can’t keep your true self hidden forever; before long you’ll be exposed. You can’t hide behind a religious mask forever; sooner or later the mask will slip and your true face will be known. You can’t whisper one thing in private and preach the opposite in public; the day’s coming when those whispers will be repeated all over town. Jesus was teaching in a packed out concert typesetting. There was no social distancing here. His concern was for his disciples. He warned them to Watch themselves carefully so that they would not be contaminated with Pharisee yeast and phoniness. You can't hide... your true self because you will one day be exposed. You can’t hide behind your religious mask forever..the mask will slip and your true face will be shown You can't whisper one thing in private and preach the opposite in public because one day your whispers will be repeated all over town. Jesus warned his disciples ….the followers of Christ...this bite is a reminder to us followers of Christ to watch yourself (thoughts, conversations, what's going in your ear) on this evil day. Stay guarded..those with large influence..search the Scripture for yourself!! The Digest You can't hide from God he knows ALL! with your mask on or off. Who is your true self ? Will Christ agree with you ? If you allowed your spiritual mask to slip right now who would Jesus see? What is he hearing in your whispering moments?

Sin Entangles... Hot Topics/Holy Talk 07/12/2020

Sin Entangles... Hot Topics/Holy Talk Inspired by Jada &Will Red Table Talk If you are married, you can not be entangled with someone who is not your spouse You don't get seperated to help or heal someone who is not your spouse. You're no man's savior. Then Sin Entangles You get so wrapped up and cant get untangled until your mess gets out. Let's talk Holy Scriptures The Purpose of Marriage = ONE This is why a man leaves his father and mother and bonds with his wife, and they become one flesh. Both the man and his wife were naked, yet felt no shame. Genesis 2:24-25 5 But Jesus told them, “He wrote this command for you because of the hardness of your hearts. 6 But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female. 7 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother 8 and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” Mark 10:5-8 The Basis of Separation=Reconciliation/Healing/Repentance To those who are already married my command, or rather, the Lord’s command, is that the wife should not leave her husband. But if she is separated from him she should either remain unattached or else be reconciled to her husband. A husband is not, in similar circumstances, to divorce his wife. 1 Corinthians 7:10-11phillips If anyone is ill he should send for the Church elders. They should pray over him, anointing him with oil in the Lord’s name. Believing prayer will save the sick man; the Lord will restore him and any sins that he has committed will be forgiven. You should get into the habit of admitting your sins to each other, and praying for each other, so that if sickness comes to you, you may be healed James 5:14-16 Entanglements (Adultery) Exodus 20:14 MSG No Adultery. David/Bathsheba 2 Sam 11 We see/We take 3 So David sent someone to inquire about her, and he said, “Isn’t this Bathsheba, daughter of Eliam and wife of Uriah the Hethite?” David sent messengers to get her, and when she came to him, he slept with her So David sends Uriah home from the frontline to try to get him to slept with his wife to pin the baby on him but Uriah didn't go home We Coverup 16 When Joab was besieging the city, he put Uriah in the place where he knew the best enemy soldiers were. 17 Then the men of the city came out and attacked Joab, and some of the men from David’s soldiers fell in battle; Uriah the Hethite also died. We get over quickly 26 When Uriah’s wife heard that her husband, Uriah, had died, she mourned for him.[] 27 When the time of mourning ended, David had her brought to his house. She became his wife and bore him a son. However, the Lord considered what David had done to be evil. Don't Judge Jada Cast the first stone The religion scholars and Pharisees led in a woman who had been caught in an act of adultery. They stood her in plain sight of everyone and said, “Teacher, this woman was caught red-handed in the act of adultery. Moses, in the Law, gives orders to stone such persons. What do you say?” They were trying to trap him into saying something incriminating so they could bring charges against him. 6-8 Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger in the dirt. They kept at him, badgering him. He straightened up and said, “The sinless one among you, go first: Throw the stone.” Bending down again, he wrote some more in the dirt. 9-10 Hearing that, they walked away, one after another, beginning with the oldest. The woman was left alone. Jesus stood up and spoke to her. “Woman, where are they? Does no one condemn you?” 11 “No one, Master.” “Neither do I,” said Jesus. “Go on your way. From now on, don’t sin.” Digest Where do you need to reconcile first to Christ and then to others? Marriage? What entangles you? If you are in a hard marriage seek out your spiritual leaders to help come alongside you for reconciliation stay unattached from relationship of the opposite sex. Don't put yourself in situations where you see and then want to take Where have you had to cover up sin ? Do you move on quickly after you have sinned against the Lord forgetting to repent? Remember we have no right to judge when we all are deserving to be stoned right now but by the grace of God we can be free Chew From now on don’t sin /episode/index/show/gloribites/id/15172184
