Faith is obeying Jesus

I am not going to vote for anyone that thinks it is ok to kill kids. I do not think it is right to kill anyone unborn so if you think I am wrong comment and let the campaining begin. In 75 days we go to the polls and I want to know who you are voteing for and why. I want you to think about making the Democraps the losers all over this land. We need a congress that is going to make the war happen and that is going to have the guts to finsh what they started and that is giving freedom to a nation that needs it. I think it is worth it to send people to die for freedom no matter where they go. Freedom is a right all people need. We can say anything about our government that we need to. We need the freedom to speak out on the issues and the freedom to print anything we want. In this land we need to have freedom to preach the bible anywhere ir any other faith and we need to have the freedom to allow the kids to have bibles in school at all time and allow kids to not have to listen to the false talk of evolution.
We need a way to make all people in this nation to pay tax no matter how they got here. And we need to ask our new people to get a job or go home to their land. I am not for giving free cash to people that do not work. No more welfare and if you fail to work to bad. Work has to be the law in this land. We also need to have a wage that is 7 per hour after the first year of work and a way for low income to get insurance by making part of the ss they take out to go for a good health care plan. I am for allowing people to pay their cash into a account for ss that they control. Government does not owe you a retirement it is up to you to place a few dollars away in a account to invest into a good fund. Take my ss cash and invest it into bonds where it can grow. And have all workers ss go into insurance they control.
I got help with this thought, we need to make the nations we give money to buy from us. If we give china 50 million for food they buy it from us and not from another nation. It does a couple of things it gets the economy working for us and it keep worker here employed. If we give nations cash and they buy from another place we lose our jobs and money. We give you money spend it here. We also ought to be into making oil here. We need 20 new places to refine oil in 20 years. Make cars we can gas up in our land.
Ok I want to think about the bible tonight and I want to talk on predestination
Here is a list of bible passages on the topic because I could not find them on this site so here they are. So look them up and learn this topic because I want to go into another topic tonight

I need to make one comment on the topic and then we are going to Hebrews. Last night I talked to a pal and he asked if the devil was made to sin. I do not think that the devil and us are the same and for that matter angels and man are the same. Salvation is not for the evil one or the angels. It is only for man. God does not save the being so thus predestination does not apply to them.
HEB 11 8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; 10 for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11 By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised. 12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude—innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.

I confess this is not where I want to talk from tonight. I guess there is a lot to say and my heart is not really where the Lord wants it in this study. I want to think about how I am to be a slave to Jesus but I am going to go with Abe because I feel this is where I am to go. Abe was a man of faith. I said before that faith is the belief in God and knowing him. Also faith is obeying God when it does not make any possible sense. Boy Abe had tons of faith. God told him to go to a place and Abe did not even know where he was going. In our lifes when we come to know Jesus we are going to leave the things of the world behind us and follow. We are to leave the past sins and the past all together and go forward into a life that is in Jesus. Some have to leave homes or towns to get to a place where God can bless them and make them new. If you come to Jesus and life is not changed did you come to Jesus. It might be your a drunk and Jesus finds you and saved you. Jesus is going to ask you to give up your drinking and follow him. For me I have to give up gals I want to date to be in the will of God. I cannot have the one I want. It might be your a fan of porn. If you get saved you have to give it up and go to Jesus for all your needs and if you do not you might not be in Jesus. Maybe a dream or a school. Maybe a habit but if God said to give it up or tells you in the bible it is wrong you need to obey him. Yes Abe was saved by his faith but his life showed he had this faith. Does your life show it? Abe did not know where he was going but he followed the Lord and it was God became his goal. Seeking the Lord ought to be my goal. If one follows the Lord then you are happy just in him. Other things are not going to matter really. If your on a trip to Glory we are not going to stay here so we need to move on and get our lives out of the things of the world and into Jesus. Jesus is our goal not our money or fame here. It is not for here we are living. We are going to heaven and this world is not our home. We seek not the things like sex or government, we seek to follow a king the world is not part of. It is not our bank account it our heavenly place we need to place our hope in.
SO if your His live a life the honor him and obey him. Life is good if you know Jesus and forget the cares of this world. Work and make sense in money matters. Save for retirement and trips but if the Lord said to you give some away trust him and do as he asked you. Jesus is going to care for us. Cast all cares on Jesus and let him control your life do not handle it alone. I guess my goal is to give Jesus all I have and in doing that I am going to trust him for everything.
