FORGIVENESS

Continued from Page 34

weaknesses and will not expect more than you can deliver; He will be with you and never place more on you than you can bear. (2 Cor

12:9)

God loves Sinners more than He hates their sins. He also knows that regardless of how hard they try, they will still sin.

Jesus endured all the temptations to sin, yet is the only one who ever lived a sinless life. • "For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin." (Heb 4:15, NKJV)

God, knowing that mankind could not be sinless, loves us so that He sent Jesus, the "Lamb of God," to die in our place. • "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16, NKJV) • "For I will be merciful and gracious toward their wickedness, And I will remember their sins no more."

(Heb 8:12, AMP)

Christians may have rightfully suffered guilt and remorse for their sins, but to do so after receiving forgiveness is not helpful.

Confidence in receiving forgiveness comes by faith and trust in Jesus and what He accomplished on the cross. • "As far as the east is from the west,

So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

Just as a father loves his children,

So, the Lord loves those who fear and worship Him [with awe-filled respect and deepest reverence].

For He knows our [mortal] frame;

He remembers that we are [merely] dust."

(Psalm 103:13-14, AMP)

RELATIONSHIP

Continued from Page 25

Salvation is God's gift to you, and you receive this gift through faith in Jesus. "The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23). This very moment, you can receive Christ's gift of salvation and start your new life with Jesus by sincerely praying a simple prayer like this from your heart: "Dear God, I know that I am a sinner. I know that You love me and want to save me. Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God, who died on the cross to pay for my sins. I believe God raised You from the dead. I now turn from my sin and, by faith, receive You into my life as my personal Lord and Savior. Come into my heart, forgive my sins, and save me, Lord Jesus. In Your name, I pray, Amen." © 2022 Love Worth Finding Ministries. All Rights Reserved >

HONOR

Continued from Page 32

In my opinion, people who have no respect for religion, or God do not have a basis for their honor towards others. David had a basis that he relied on and formed his next action step.

This is why some people dishonor and mistreat their fellow man. There is no reason to form a basis for their honor. Christ-followers honor others because they first honor God.

What if instead of hurting, cursing, and killing one another with our words, we treat people as a specially anointed, loved one of God? It will add peace to our lives and value to theirs.

By the way, we have a new mortgage company.

THE WISE LIFE

Continued from Page 8

riches and our attitude about money to steer us away from putting our hope and trust in him.

We have responsibilities in this life to care for our families and to care for those who are less fortunate than us. God doesn’t want us to be a burden on others; we still have to make a living. But some things such as creating debt in our lives, stockpiling our money rather than using it to help others, and relying on doctors to be responsible for our overall physical health can be disastrous. Look at all the pain and suffering that these things are doing to God’s people? And we put our trust in these things!

Our attitude about money should be that of the willingness to give up everything we have for Him, if it ever came to that. God doesn’t want our eagerness for riches to come between him and us. We are to use what we have in ways that pleases him, to serve others in whatever capacity he has gifted us with, and to help those who are in need. Using our money and possessions to please God shows that we have our priorities about money right with God. Don’t let money take the place of God in your heart.

“No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot both serve God and money.”

(Luke 16:13)

When we believe and trust in God that he will fulfill his promises for us, even though we cannot see those promises materialize yet, that is when we have given God our faith and trust. (Hebrews 11:6)

This is what we ought to be striving for—this should be our first priority in life. We should put our faith in God first and then God will guide us properly in this world and give us wisdom to know the difference between right and wrong. Is it wise to trust in God given what we know about him? It’s the only way! © 2002-2022 Heaven Ministries. All Rights Reserved. www.heavenministries.org >

LOSE WEIGHT

Continued from Page 27

* Your body loses fat because of all the above! * Skin quality improves greatly because your body is less toxic, plus cells are receiving valuable nutrition.

What Happens When We Eat Denatured Food? * The body becomes confused and doesn’t know what to do with the substances added to denatured food. * Toxins build up because the body is swamped with substances it can’t metabolize through digestion * Fibreless, denatured foods cause constipation, boils, rashes, allergies, acne, potbelly, obesity, sugar spikes, IBS, hemorrhoids, gluten intolerance, emotional issues, and more. * Organs begin to stop functioning normally, causing bladder infections, liver disease, pancreas issues, IBS, clogged arteries, colon cancer, and more.

Pesticides, herbicides, additives, colorings, dyes, fake sugars, preservatives, and chemicals overtime all leave a trail of toxins in your body in the form of weight gain, sleep disturbances, sugar spikes, aches and pains, and digestive disorders that become disease and cancer if something is not done to cleanse the system and change the diet.

God did not build our body to tolerate food that was not invented yet. We had already been given all the food we would need for perfect health. He knew that man would build factories and destroy the food through denaturing. But God gave us a mind that can think and reason, for this purpose, so we can choose to lead a healthy eating lifestyle.

No one is standing over us at gunpoint making us eat boxed, packaged, canned, frozen denatured food products. We can choose to buy only whole, natural ingredients and cook! Did you know that fatness is enabled in this country through the denaturing of foods!

I’m telling you, if you want to lose weight and feel good, with no guilt trips, then go all-natural! Give your body the food it was meant to receive, and your body will reward you with physical and mental well-being.

If you cannot afford to buy organic meat, then go vegetarian, however, be a smart vegetarian and eat lots of protein rich foods like beans and quinoa. You can truly eat great and lose weight, but you'll have to go all natural! Isn't that the way we were meant to eat anyway? © 2002-2022 Heaven Ministries.

SECRET

Continued from Page 33

fault is as small as to be a trifle, or not to be a blemish in our character. Small faults grow.

We have a beautiful prayer at the close of (Psalm 19): "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer." There could be no higher standard of life, than is set for us in this prayer.

The conduct may be blameless— while the thoughts are stained with sin. It is easier to keep our acts without fault—than our feelings, our desires, and our affections pure. We may do no outward act of cruelty or unkindness; while our hearts may be full of jealousies, envies, and all selfishness. We are to seek that our thoughts be so white and clean—that they will be acceptable in God's sight.

That prayer covers our words, our thoughts, and our meditations, each a closer test than the one before. It is a great thing to be faultless in speech. But perfect grammar is not enough. Our words may be beautiful and graceful—and yet our thoughts may be full of hypocrisy, of deceit, of all evil! The prayer here is that our thoughts may please God. This is a higher spiritual attainment, than merely faultless words.

Then, a still higher test of life— is our meditation. Meditations are our deepest thoughts, the quiet ponderings of our hearts. Meditation is almost an obsolete word in these times of hustle and bustle. The word belongs rather to the days when men had much time to think— and think deeply. We meditate when we are alone when we are shut away from others. Our minds then follow the drift of our own desires, dispositions, and imaginations. If our hearts are clean and good—our meditations are pure and holy. But if our hearts are evil and unclean— our meditations are of the same moral quality. Thus, our meditations are an infallible test of our real self. "As a man thinks in his heart—so is he." (Proverbs 23:6)

My prayer is, therefore, for a life of the highest character—one acceptable to God, not only in words and thoughts—but also in meditations. This is the life; we Christians should seek to live!
