Refusal to Obey God's Commands

Jeremiah 35:12-19 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

12Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: 13“This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Go and tell the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem: ‘Will you not accept discipline and obey My words?’ declares the LORD.

14The words of Jonadab son of Rechab have been carried out. He commanded his sons not to drink wine, and they have not drunk it to this very day because they have obeyed the command of their forefather. But I have spoken to you again and again, and you have not obeyed Me!

15Again and again I have sent you all My servants the prophets, proclaiming: ‘Turn now, each of you, from your wicked ways, and correct your actions. Do not go after other gods to serve them. Live in the land that I have given to you and your fathers.’ But you have not inclined your ear or listened to Me. 16Yes, the sons of Jonadab son of Rechab carried out the command their forefather gave them, but these people have not listened to Me.

17Therefore this is what the LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will bring to Judah and to all the residents of Jerusalem all the disaster I have pronounced against them, because I have spoken to them but they have not obeyed, and I have called to them but they have not answered.’”

18Then Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites: “This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘Because you have obeyed the command of your forefather Jonadab and have kept all his commandments and have done all that he charged you to do, 19this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Jonadab son of Rechab will never fail to have a man to stand before Me.’”

A Command to Obey

Whether under the Old Covenant or the New Covenant, we are commanded of God, as those who profess faith in God – Father, Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit – to obey God and His commands to us. Since we are now under the New Covenant, we do NOT have to obey the Old Covenant liturgical, ceremonial, sacrificial, purification, circumcision, dietary and Sabbath laws. But we do have to obey God’s commands to us under the New Covenant, which are written down for us in the books of the New Testament.

But sadly many pastors of institutional “churches” are teaching that we do not have to obey God and His commandments and that we do not have to repent of (die to) our sins. But that is a lie from hell. For all throughout the New Testament writings we are instructed that we must die to sin and obey our Lord’s commands or we do not know God, we are not in fellowship with Him, and we do not have salvation from sin nor eternal life in Him. So we need to listen to what is taught to us in the New Testament about obedience.

Turn From Wicked Ways

When we come to genuine biblical faith in Jesus Christ we are now to die with Christ to sin and now live to Him and to His righteousness in walks of obedience to our Lord and to His commands, as empowered by God. And it was the same for those under the Old Covenant. As followers of Christ we are to turn from our wicked ways, and correct our actions, and no longer go after the gods (idols) of this world to serve them. Sin must no longer be what we practice, but obedience to God is to be what we live by.

Yet so many people who give lip service to the Lord, and who profess Jesus as their Lord and Savior, do not accept the discipline of the Lord in their lives, and they do not obey His commands. Even though God has spoken to them through His messengers, time and time again, still they have not obeyed, but they continue in their deliberate and habitual sins against God. They do not incline their ears to the words of the Lord but they chart their own course, instead, and they follow in the ways of their sinful natures.

Judgment to Come

There are some people who may face the immediate judgment of God, depending upon the severity of their sinful actions. Or, as they continue in their sinful ways, and in their refusal to obey the commands of God, they may face God’s judgments against them. Others who profess faith in Jesus Christ but who are still living to please the flesh may appear to not have any judgments against them presently, but one day they will stand before the Lord, and they will be judged by God because they would not obey Him.

Those who have died with Christ to sin, and who have obeyed Him in life practice, and who have kept His words to the very end, all in the power of God, by God-gifted faith in the Lord Jesus, they have the hope of salvation from sin and eternal life with God. But all who continue in their sinful practices, who do not turn from their sins, and who do not obey our Lord’s commands, they will not inherit eternal life with God, even though they have been convinced by liars that they will spend eternity with God. Know this!

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Romans 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10,19-20; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; 2 Corinthians 5:10,15,21; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:19-39; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

So, if you have been holding on to your sin, and if obedience to God is not your practice, I pray you will turn from your sin and obey God from now on.

Trust and Obey

Words by John H. Sammis, 1887

Music by Daniel B. Towner, 1887

When we walk with the Lord

in the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will,

He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

Not a shadow can rise,

not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear,

not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

Not a burden we bear,

not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss,

not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.

But we never can prove

the delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows,

for the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.

Then in fellowship sweet

We will sit at His feet.
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way.
What He says we will do,

Where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.

Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

The Shepherds Who Destroy

Jeremiah 23:1-2,11,14,16-18,21-22,30-31 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

“Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture!” declares the LORD. 2Therefore this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says about the shepherds who tend My people: “You have scattered My flock and driven them away, and have not attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you for the evil of your deeds, declares the LORD.

11“For both prophet and priest are ungodly;

even in My house I have found their wickedness,”

declares the LORD.

14And among the prophets of Jerusalem

I have seen a horrible thing:

They commit adultery

and walk in lies.

They strengthen the hands of evildoers,

so that no one turns his back on wickedness.

They are all like Sodom to Me;

the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.”

16This is what the LORD of Hosts says:

“Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you.

They are filling you with false hopes.

They speak visions from their own minds,

not from the mouth of the LORD.

17They keep saying to those who despise Me,

‘The LORD says that you will have peace,’

and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart,

‘No harm will come to you.’

18But which of them has stood in the council of the LORD

to see and hear His word?

Who has given heed to His word

and obeyed it?

21 I did not send these prophets,

yet they have run with their message;

I did not speak to them,

yet they have prophesied.

22But if they had stood in My council,

they would have proclaimed My words to My people

and turned them back

from their evil ways and deeds.”

30“Therefore behold,” declares the LORD, “I am against the prophets who steal from one another words they attribute to Me.” 31“Yes,” declares the LORD, “I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and proclaim, ‘The LORD declares it.’”

The Shepherds

Who are the shepherds of God’s people today? They are supposed to be men of faith in Jesus Christ who meet the biblical qualifications for overseer (elder, pastor) within the gatherings of the church. But this doesn’t have to be limited just to men who serve as pastors/elders. For to shepherd is to guide, nurture, lead, encourage, instruct, and counsel others in the ways of the Lord and along a path of holiness and righteousness in walks of obedience to our Lord’s commands. And we Christians are to do this with one another, to help one another to grow to maturity of faith in Christ Jesus.

[Matthew 5:13-16; Matthew 28:18-20; John 4:31-38; John 13:13-17; John 14:12; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:14-18,42-47; Acts 26:18; Romans 10:14-15; Romans 12:1-8; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31; 1 Corinthians 14:1-5; Galatians 6:1; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:1-16; Ephesians 5:11-21; Ephesians 6:10-20; Philippians 2:1-8; Colossians 3:12-16; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:13; Hebrews 10:23-25; James 5:19-20; 1 Peter 2:9,21; 1 John 2:6]

The Shepherds Who Destroy

Now, this would mainly apply to men who are serving in positions of pastor and elders within the gatherings of the church. But since we are all to be ministers of the gospel of Christ who share the gospel message with others, and who encourage each other within the body of Christ, this can apply to anyone who shares the gospel or who encourages another Christian in their walk of faith, but in this case who does so deceitfully, spreading lies to the people, and who coddles people in their sin, not calling them to repentance.

This would be the ungodly leading the ungodly to continue in their sin and to not obey our Lord’s commands, while teaching them that a mere profession of faith in Jesus Christ is enough to secure them forgiveness of all sins and eternal life with God in heaven. For they themselves are those who commit adultery and who walk in lies, and so they strengthen the hands of evildoers so they do not turn from their sins to obey God, yet while many of them will come against the faithful to God for insisting on repentance and obedience.

Don’t Listen to Them

We who believe in Jesus Christ are not to listen to those who speak falsely about the teachings of Christ and of His apostles in the New Testament. We are to be people of discernment who test the spirits to see which ones are of God, who test their words against the teachings of the Scriptures taught in their correct biblical context. For so many who call themselves pastors and Bible teachers are teaching lies, and they are giving people false hopes of salvation based off lip service only, without repenting and obeying God.

And they are telling them that all their sins are forgiven, and they have heaven secured them for eternity, but while making no requirements of them that they deny self, die to sin, and obey God and His commands in life practice. For they call that “works salvation.” And so they convince them that even if they continue in deliberate and habitual sin against the Lord that it will not count against them. But the Scriptures teach that if disobedience and sin are what we practice, we will not inherit eternal life with God.

Not of God

So, just because a man calls himself a “pastor” or an “elder,” it does not automatically mean that he is of God, that he is called of God, that he is being led by the Spirit of God, that he has the anointing of God, and that what he is teaching the people is of God and not of human flesh. For so many of them today are teaching a false gospel message, and they are being led by marketing schemes and business models in how to “grow their churches,” and so they are not of God; not called of God to His service.

So, just because a man has a degree from a Bible college or seminary, and he is recognized as an official worker of a particular church denomination, it does not mean at all that he is a true follower of Christ who is being led by the Spirit of God, who is teaching the truth of the gospel to the people. For so many of them are teaching lies in the name of God, who are proclaiming lies as though they are the truth of what the Scriptures teach. And many people are believing their lies which will end them in hell, not in heaven.

So, test everyone and everything against the Scriptures taught in their correct biblical context. Then obey God and leave your sins behind you.

What's Your Purpose?

What’s Your Purpose? Why you be?

Are you trapped? Or are you free?

In and out is where you are?

Sometimes nearer? Sometimes far?

Broken record played each time?

Nothing changes, not in time?

Worn out efforts do not work

So you angry? So you irk?

What’s the purpose, shrink from all?

You no courage? You no gall?

Run away is your escape?

You’re just playing same old tape.

This goes nowhere, never has,

Broken record, same old jazz.

Time is passing, passing by,

One day you are gonna die.

Make decision, make it now,

To stop passing, passing ball.

Face the music, face it well,

So you don’t end up in hell.

They Denounce The True Gospel

Jeremiah 18:18-20 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

18Then some said, “Come, let us make plans against Jeremiah, for the law will never be lost to the priest, nor counsel to the wise, nor an oracle to the prophet. Come, let us denounce him and pay no heed to any of his words.”

19Attend to me, O LORD.
Hear what my accusers are saying!
20Should good be repaid with evil?
Yet they have dug a pit for me.
Remember how I stood before You
to speak good on their behalf,
to turn Your wrath from them.

They Denounce the Scriptures

There is a present plot in motion to silence those who are biblical and true messengers of God, which includes the teachings of the Scriptures taught in their correct biblical context. We have many charlatans and “wolves in sheep’s clothing” among us who are working to discredit the gospel message taught by Jesus and by His New Testament apostles, and by all the Lord’s messengers today who are holding fast to the truths of the gospel of Christ and of our salvation from sin resulting in eternal life for those who obey God.

And these false teachers are using a cheapened form of “the gospel” to coverup the true gospel of Christ, to make it to where it can’t be heard. They do this by convincing the masses that the truth is a lie and that the lie which they are spreading is the truth. So the primary messenger of God they are denouncing today is not one single individual, but it is the biblical message of the gospel of Christ as a whole as taught by Jesus and His apostles, which they call a lie, and while they spread their lies as though they are truth.

Cheapened Grace

The grace of God, which is bringing us salvation, is training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age. The grace of God sent Jesus Christ to the cross to put our sins to death with Him so that, by biblical faith in the Lord Jesus we will now deny self, die to sin, and follow our Lord in walks of surrender to Him in obedience to His commands in holy living – by His grace and in His power at work within those of us of genuine biblical faith in Christ.

[Matthew7:21-23; Luke9:23-26; Romans6:1-23; Titus2:11-14; 1John 1-3]

But “the grace of God” which is of human origin, and not of God, is teaching the people that all they have to do is to make some kind of acknowledgment of Jesus Christ and of who He is and of what He did in putting our sins to death with Him, and via His resurrection from the dead, and now they are God’s children, forgiven all their sins, and now heaven is their eternal destiny, but regardless of how they live. And they call the biblical gospel message “works salvation,” and they persuade the people to reject it.

God’s Messengers

So the Lord is getting the truth of His gospel message out there for people to hear it. I know He called me 22 years ago to write down what I was learning during my times in His Word each day, and that I was to post these writings on the internet, so that is what I have been doing these past 22 years. Now, at first, a lot of what He was showing me was Him teaching me things I did not know. And I had to relearn some things I had learned wrongly. And I had a lot to learn, and I am still learning. But the gospel is the Main Thing here.

For, if what we believe as the gospel is the lie, and not the truth, we will not have salvation from sin and we will not have eternal life with God. But if we are to learn what the truth is, as opposed to the lie, we need to be students of the Scriptures who are studying them in their correct biblical context and who are obeying the Word of God. For so many lies are being spread via Scriptures taken out of context which are then being misinterpreted and accepted by those who are followers of humans and not followers of God.

The Gospel

But Jesus Christ taught that to come to Him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) Him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to His commands, in His power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls Him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

For by God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ, which is not of our own doing, we are crucified with Christ in death to sin and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in Him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but as slaves to righteousness in walks of obedience to God’s commands. We are no longer to permit sin to reign in our mortal bodies to make us obey its desires. For if sin is what we obey, it results in death. But if obedience to God is what we obey, it results in sanctification, and its end is eternal life with God (see Romans 6:1-23).

So, reject the lies, obey the truth, turn away from your sins, and now obey God and His commands in the power of God, in life practice, by God’s grace.

It Is Well with My Soul

Lyrics by H. G. Spafford, 1873

Music by Philip P. Bliss, 1876

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,

When sorrows like sea billows roll;

Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,

It is well; it is well with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,

Let this blest assurance control,

That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,

And hath shed his own blood for my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!

My sin, not in part but the whole,

Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

And, Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,

The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;

The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,

Even so, it is well with my soul.

It is well with my soul,

It is well; it is well with my soul.

Willfully Continuing in Sin

Jeremiah 18:11-15 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

11 Now therefore, tell the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem that this is what the LORD says: ‘Behold, I am planning a disaster for you and devising a plan against you. Turn now, each of you, from your evil ways, and correct your ways and deeds.’ 12But they will reply, ‘It is hopeless. We will follow our own plans, and each of us will act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart.’”

13Therefore this is what the LORD says:

“Inquire among the nations:

Who has ever heard things like these?

Virgin Israel has done a most terrible thing.

14Does the snow of Lebanon

ever leave its rocky slopes?

Or do its cool waters flowing from a distance

ever run dry?

15Yet My people have forgotten Me.

They burn incense to worthless idols

that make them stumble in their ways,

leaving the ancient roads

to walk on rutted bypaths

instead of on the highway.”

The Church at Large

All throughout the New Testament and in certain places in the Old Testament we have warnings with regard to the events of the last days before the return of Christ. We are told of the kinds of things which we should expect to be taking place. And I believe we are seeing many of those already taking place in our present age. I believe the church at large, which has gone the ways of the world, is presently under the judgment of God and that God is sending His messengers to call them to repent of sin and to obey God.

But so much of what is called “church” is not the biblical body of Christ in service to the Lord, but they are these institutions of human making which are being marketed to the world. And in order to draw in large crowds of people from the world into their gatherings, so many of them have altered and diluted the gospel message to make it less offensive and more appealing to human flesh. And they have turned their gatherings into showcases in order to attract the world to their gatherings. But this is not of God!

Called of God

And if you are one of God’s messengers, called of God to take the truth of His Word to the people, and to call His wayward ones to repentance and to obedience to God’s commands, you might find yourself being rejected and cast aside by many who call themselves Christians, and who attend these institutional market-driven “churches,” because so many of them have rejected the biblical gospel in favor of a friendlier “gospel” which does not require them to repent of their sins and to obey God’s commands.

But even many who profess faith in Jesus Christ, who accept that God calls us to repentance and to obedience to His commands, they will teach or will acknowledge that these are recommended, but that they are optional, and that they are not required for salvation and for eternal life with God. But that is a lie from hell! For not everyone who calls Jesus “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven but only those who are DOING (obeying) the will of God the Father who is in heaven (see Matthew 7:21-23; Luke 9:23-26).

They’ve Forgotten God

And when this says that God’s people have forgotten Him, it isn’t that they are no longer aware of Him or of His presence, but that they have chosen their own paths, and they have chosen to reject God’s commands. And sadly this is where many professers of faith in Jesus Christ are today, giving lip service to God, but while following after the idols of this world. Many of them do so because they have believed the lie that they don’t have to repent of sin, nor obey God, and that they can still inherit eternal life with God.

So they feel at liberty to chart their own course, and to walk their own path, and to continue in deliberate and habitual sin against God all the while claiming Jesus as their Lord and Savior and heaven as their eternal destiny. For they may be those who attend these gatherings of what are called “churches,” which are being led of human flesh and not of God, and which teach that we don’t have to obey God nor repent of sin as required of God. So God is calling them to repentance and to obey Him and His commands.

The Train

An Original Work / July 17, 2011

Christ’s Free Servant, Sue J Love

The train is coming down the tracks.

It captures all who in faith lack.

The engine is controlled by man;

Leads each captive to ruin.

The cars, they are God’s holy church,

Which follows men who are on the search

To trap the church in their own snare;

For Christ they do not care.

The track, it leads to God’s judgment

For those who are not repentant,

But follow, each his own stubborn way,

And Jesus they do not obey.

So God is calling to His bride

To turn from sin and in Christ abide;

Stop placing their trust solely in man;

Trust Christ for His forgiveness.

Wayward Children

Wayward children, wandering souls,

Thoughtless people, varying roles,

Walk in darkness, seeing no light,

For from Jesus, taken their flight.

Have no mercy, walking in sin,

Self-indulgent, drinking their gin,

All about them, not about God,

But the many wear a façade.

Put a mask on, others impress,

Think they’re being such a success,

But they’re not, for time they do waste,

For the real world they will not face.

Live in dream world, taking up time,

They see their world truly sublime,

Entertainment, all about self,

Put the Bible up on a shelf.

Time is ticking, it’s ticking by,

But to their sins they will not die,

Walk with purpose, they will not go,

For the Savior they do not know.

God is calling, repent of sin,

Accept Jesus living within,

Make Him Lord now, Lord of your life,

Give up idols, to sin now die.

Walk with Jesus every day,

Read your Bible, bow to Him, pray,

Love the people with sincere love,

Life surrender to Him above.

“These people honor me with their lips,

but their hearts are far from me.

They worship me in vain;

their teachings are merely human rules.”

(Matthew 15:8-9 NIV)

Your Trust in God? Or in Man?

The Ones Who Trust in Humans

Jeremiah 17:5-6 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

This is what the LORD says:

“5Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind,

who makes mere flesh his strength

and turns his heart from the LORD.

6He will be like a shrub in the desert;

he will not see when prosperity comes.

He will dwell in the parched places of the desert,

in a salt land where no one lives.”

Now, this is not saying that we should go around distrusting everyone, but that we should not trust in humans to be our gods, our saviors, and the ones to lead us in the right ways and on the correct paths. We should not believe everything any one particular human says, but we are to test the spirits against the teachings of the Scriptures, taught in their correct biblical context, to see which ones are telling us the truth. For not everyone tells the truth, even if they are pastors or Bible teachers or elders of “churches.”

We are not to rely on human flesh in place of our dependence on God alone. We are not to be followers of man, but followers of God – Father, Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit. We are not to put humans and what they tell us above God and what His Word teaches us, although this is what so many professing “Christians” are doing today. For so many are believing the lies and they are rejecting the truths taught by Jesus Christ and by His New Testament apostles. And so they are relying on a false gospel as their hope.

Basically, we are not to believe everything we are told by pastors, elders, missionaries, evangelists, “Christian” authors, politicians, political parties, the news media (all sorts), and our government heads, etc. just because “so and so” said it. Lies and liars abound most everywhere we look these days. And we should not repost other people’s writings unless we are certain that what they are telling us is the truth, and that what they are saying about Christianity agrees with what the Scriptures teach in the right context.

So many professing Christians, though, are followers of other humans rather than being followers of God. And they are believing the lies taught by other humans without testing to see if what they are being told is, in fact, the truth. Therefore, it appears that the majority of those professing faith in Jesus Christ here in the USA are following after a false gospel of salvation, for they are being taught that they don’t have to obey God’s commands and that they don’t have to repent of their sins, and so they continue in sin.

The Ones Who Trust in The Lord

Jeremiah 17:7-8 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

“7But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,

whose confidence is in Him.

8He is like a tree planted by the waters

that sends out its roots toward the stream.

It does not fear when the heat comes,

and its leaves are always green.

It does not worry in a year of drought,

nor does it cease to produce fruit.”

So, what does it look like to trust in the Lord? It means to believe what His Word teaches us, but only as taught in the correct biblical context. For so many lies are now being taught by taking Scriptures out of context and by making them say what they do not say if taught in the proper biblical context. So many liars who are “wolves in sheep’s clothing” are leading the masses astray to believe they do not have to obey God and they do not have to put sin to death in their lives. And they are leading them straight to hell.

So, don’t rely on quick, short, simplified messages which may or may not be telling you the truth. I know it is easier to read what is short, and it takes more time to read what is longer, but shorter is not always better. Often it is not good at all, and it can be purposefully deceptive, but not always. But more and more it seems to be in the majority. And longer is not always better, either, if what is being taught is still lies. So we need to be discerning people who study the Scriptures and who walk in obedience to our Lord.

For if our trust is genuinely in the Lord, and not in human flesh, we will be those who have, by faith in Jesus Christ, denied self, died to sin, and who are presently and actively walking (in conduct, in practice) in obedience to our Lord’s commands. We will be followers of Christ and not of man. Our trust will be solely in God and we will not be looking to other humans to be our “saviors.” We will be those who listen for His voice and who follow Him in doing whatever it is He has for us to do, as His followers who love Him.

And we will be at peace even in the storms of life, as a matter of life practice. And this is not to say that we will never be frightened over anything or that we will always be at peace, but that when we are afraid we will turn to the Lord for our comfort and our peace and for His direction in what we are to do, and in how we are to respond, and we will rest in Him and not let fear overtake us. For Satan is going to try to make us afraid. We have to not give in to him. We must let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts instead.

Christ’s Free Servant, Sue J Love

Let the word of Christ dwell in you,

As you teach with all wisdom,

Teaching one another to not

Think on earthly things;

Think instead on things above,

Where Christ sits with God, in love,

Saving us from all of our sins,

Cleansing us; made new within.

Let the peace of Christ rule your hearts,

As you sing songs unto Him;

Speak to one another with psalms,

Hymns, and spir’tual songs;

Always giving thanks to God,

In the name of Christ, His Son,

Who gave His life up for us all,

And gave us eternal life.

Let the love of Christ within you

Rule in your hearts; grace within,

Purifying you from your sin,

Make you whole within.

Forgive as the Lord forgave.

Show His kindness ev’ry day.

In word or deed, whate’er you do,

Glory give to Jesus Christ.
