King changes you

Wanted some good music sung by operatic sopranos that love Jesus and want to share him. I am a soprano singer fan and I love it when they sing high. Higher the better and I love it when they soar in the notes and make the music pretty. I am looking for sandy Patti’s that are good at singing in Jesus for my collection. I prefer the national anthem sung by them. I am going to look to buy some of the cds and I really want to find good operatic singers and hymns sung by high sopranos.

I am so glad some are people out there are encouraging my life and try to follow the right things. I am going to and I intend to live my life for Jesus and him alone. I want to live in a way that is cleaner and healthier.

Lets get into the Bible and see how the Lord is going to work tonight.

1 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
If I was going to be fleshly I would love just to skip a few verses and not go into this but I am not going to because I need to listen to the word and obey the Lord. It is important to think and learn this word and live it. It is important to be humble when we read the word and learn that we just need to obey the bible no matter what. I think it is a process that you follow the great law and the rest kind of follows. If the Lord asks you to love and forgive that is the thing we need to do. But if you act and think you get close to Jesus by following the law your not right. You go to Jesus and follow him and fall deep in love with him. Jesus is going to change you on the inside and when that happens you change on the out. If you live for Jesus and live loving him then he is going to give you power to do as he asks. One reason I had to change my intake is not all think like this. Example, John has a habit that he wants to change and stop and he is not taking in the right teaching and he gets over it because he did it himself. He is taught the habit is evil and sin and whatever. He is told to stop it or else. Or John nas a habit and he wants to gain victory on it. He goes and prays asking the lord to change him and give him a way out of the habit. So he keeps praying and God begins to show him Love so John sees that and feels he has a home in Jesus. Slowly he reads and prays and the Lord changes his habit and all of a sudden John’s habit is gone. All he sees is the Love and work of Jesus and he thanks him alone and struggles yet every time he goes and finds Jesus firm and lovingly changes John’s life. John has grown deeper in Love with Jesus as Jesus shows John his face. Jesus gets all the fame and John sits in a place where he is changed from the inside out.

22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
It is good to read the bible and to study it but it has to make a change in our life’s. If you are not careful I think you need to know that God gave the standard that we are to follow in the word. However it is not pleasing to God if we do nothing and make bad choices. If I go out and not follow the word in forgiveness or on going to church I am not pleasing the Lord. God is going to work it out but you got to be willing to do as he asks and go where he leads. He empowers you to make the changes and guides you but he is not always do them you got to work out and be able to give in to a habit or command God asks of you. Many go to Church but are they active in bible reading and prayer.



25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
26 If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless. 27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.[1]

Many try to keep a moral law like No this and that and church 5 times a week and whatever. The money you give does not impress God or the code you keep. I do not think he is ever impressed with you. God is impressed that his son died in your place and your standing in him alone. We are constrained to do the commands when we are in the word and fellowshipping in Jesus and he works in our hearts to prove he is the leader. Your not the leader. Friends I doubt your goodness is good for Jesus. I doubt your church going has anything good if you’re not close to him in his word and obeying his heart for you. If there is sin in your heart you confess and you’re forgiven not if you change. God is going to change you and you need to rest in this.
Pure faith is going to visit the kids that need him. Pure faith is not to be in this world. People think that not going to movies makes them better or holier or the things you listen to makes you a better person. I say you’re already made a perfect person and your seprated to the lord because of Him and how he worked in you. I am not saying going to movies is a great thing but if you go bring Jesus with you. Listen to music that Jesus would. If your watching a late show would Jesus watch it. It does not mean also that all your external is not important but do not fake it and look the part but rather allow the Inside to change and the outside will to. Are you caring you your own that are not save? Are you helping the folk that go to the church that is not yours when they need food or a bit a babysitting? Are we going to the poor and helping them even if they are not able to make our church? Wake up that is our calling
