Good Tuesday to all and GOD Bless you and your's! I pray all are well and safe. Mostly cloudy day here today in Vegas but still mild, looking for 70 or so this weekend. Sorry, gotta rub it in lol.
Opened to Ezekiel again last few days to same pages, so important apparently. I recommend reading Ezekiel 21 and 22.
Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth...
Proverbs 27:1
There are six things which the Lord hates, seven which are an abomination to Him; Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and a man who sows discord among brothers....Proverbs 6:16-19
Thomas 14: Jesus says to His disciples: "Compare Me, and tell Me whom I am like." Simon Peter says to him: "Thou art like a just angel!" Matthew says to him: "Thou art like a wise man and a philosopher!" Thomas says to him: "Master, my tongue cannot find words to say whom thou art like." Jesus says: "I am no longer thy master; for thou hast drunk, thou art inebriated from the bubbling spring which is mine and which I sent forth." Then he took him aside; he said three words to him. And when Thomas came back to his companions, they asked him: "What did Jesus say to thee?" And Thomas answered them: "If I tell you one of the words He said to me, you will take uup stones and throw them at me, and fire will come out of the stones and consume you!"
No one knows the 3 words He said, I can guess, which is not the best thing to do as no one knows the mind of GOD. If I had to guess I would guess that maybe He told him the name of GOD or that He is GOD! That is supposition totally on my part tho.
Thomas 15: Jesus says to them: "When you fast, you will beget sin for yourselves; when you pray, you will be condemned; when you give alms, you will do evil to your souls! When you enter any land and travel over the country, when you are welcomed eat what is put before you; those who are ill
in those places, heal them. For what enters into your mouth will not defile you, but what comes out of your mouth, it is that which will defile you!"
Now I do not understand yet the meaning of the first part of that one, hopefully someday. If anyone has an idea I certainly welcome it.
Thomas 16: Jesus says: When you see Him who has not been born of woman, bow down face to the earth and adore Him: He is your father!"
It is I who bless and it is for you to give thanksgiving! Glorify Me always as I bless you. I am your goal throughout life. You you focus on your goals, I fade from your life. I am always there, even when you take a path of your choosing. My Light forever shines on you, even more so when you walk in My Light........
You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart....Jeremiah 29:13
Before you know it, a sense of GOD's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life...Philippians 4:7
I orchestrate the things in your life. Even when things go well with your plans, you are not conscious of My Presence. I am always in your life, even when you are not aware of it. Always trust that I am working in your life and stay in communication with Me.........
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
GOD Bless!

ReplyDeleteMight want to check your numbering for this is what I found:
(Thomas 14)
Jesus said to them: If you fast, you will put a sin to your charge; and if you pray, you will be condemned; and if you give alms, you will do harm to your inner spirits. And if you go into any land and walk about in the regions, if they receive you, eat what is set before you; heal the sick among them. For what goes into your mouth will not defile you; but what comes out of your mouth, that is what will defile you.
There are several comments on that page also on explanations of what was meant by Thomas 14.
ReplyDeleteJust last night I was talking to Jesus and told Him that I felt like I had drifted apart from Him a little bit then today on this page I read this;

DeleteI visited that site and I think i can understand it in one way at least. Seeing as GOD is spirit and we tend to think of Him in physical terms, we therefore look for physical meaning in all He says. If we look at it from spiritual side then fasting can mean not fasting of food but of all things spiritual. This would open us up to sin. Prayer being condemnation in a spiritual texture, when we pray we are told by Jesus to pray from the heart and what we pray for, once is enough, to do so more, and we all do this, is to basically insult his intelligence. He hears our prayer and if we truly believe, then he will answer the prayer. Give thanks always for all things, but when praying for something once is enough. As for alms giving, if we help others or give, do not do it with hope of return, but in true charity in the spirit of joy otherwise it can be vain and therefore wrong.
