 God With Us

Happy Tuesday!

The Times have not changed so much that God is unable to relate or sympathize with us. He knows exactly what everyone is going through no matter your race. We will all be judged. God's Kingdom is not likened to the earth. In summary it will be nothing like this earth. 

• I am reminded of Lazarus and the rich man. It has nothing to do with him being rich. He was just rich and wicked. Lazarus beg for food, and they would not even give him the scraps from the table. He did not have MERCY on no one. He look at Lazarus and laughed. What a miserable life he life. It was a lovely day for him and a poor day for Lazarus. 
• But when Lazarus died God opened up heaven for him and granted him a new life. Sadly, the rich man received his good on the earth and he suffered in his afterlife. 
• I always say we suffer on this earth sometimes in order to live good in the afterlife. The little things we go through is worth to go to heaven. 
•  Why enjoy this life and treat others unkind only for it to catch up to you in the afterlife. A time that will never end.
• Treating others decent is very important. If you get away with it now guess what.....Hell has a place for you. 
• Being the favorite on this earth is not that important. How do I know. Jessus continue to tell them I have come to suffer but where I am going is better. 
• We don't know what is on the other side, but he spoke well about it. (the Upper room)
• He just tells us to believe him, have faith in him, do what he says to do. 

MATTHEW 17 

14And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,

15Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.

16And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

17Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.

18And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.

19Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?

20And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

21Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

22And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:

23And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.

24And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?

25He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

26Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.

27Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.

Have a great day!
