Good day. Today's video They Knew is on the topic of: They knew who Jesus of Nazareth was, the Christ, the Son of God; that is the devils knew, and they trembled (Luke 4:40-41, Mark 1:21-25, Mark 3:11-12, Matthew 8:28-29). Yet the religious leaders of that time (the chief priest, scribes, and pharisees) denied that Jesus of Nazareth was the Christ, the Son of God and they crucified the Lord of glory for envy. They were more concerned about the day of the week on which the Lord healed the people (the blind, the sick, the lame, those bound up by unclean spirit(s)) being the sabbath, the outward circumstances, that they could not see who was right in front of them. They were more concerned about keeping their place of power or prominence with the people and with the Romans (John 11:48), that they feared, and then they instilled fear into the people that if they confessed that Jesus was the Christ that they would put them out of the synagogue (John 9:22). They even asked him directly if he was the Christ, and he answered "I am", but they closed their ears to the truth that was in Jesus, and said the he was a blasphemer of God, because he did not fit into their idea or thoughts of who the Messiah should be, or where he came from, or what his birth circumstances were in their carnal judgement. These were the spiritual leaders of that time, and they did not know, their heart was hardened, and they chose not to see, because they were blinded by envy (Matthew 27:18, Mark 15:10). Today the same thing is happening in the Church; many are crucifying the Son of God afresh, denying Christ, with the traditions and doctrines of men, and many for filthy lucre (money) sake, for the accolades of men, or for being ignorant of the truth that is in Jesus. Many are taught and know Jesus the man; many are taught and say that Jesus was God which is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit because of unbelief that God sent his Son, Christ, in the likeness of sinful flesh to condemn sin in the flesh that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Many don't know Christ the Son of God who was in Jesus, and who is also in you (Colossians 1:27). The Lord said, "whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 10:33). You can't blame men for your ignorance of the Son of God when you stand before the Lord, because you are to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, not relying on someone else to do the work for you and you just show up once, maybe twice a week to hear their version of what the scriptures say; it is given unto you, personally, to know they mystery of the kingdom of God. Many should know but don't know Christ, because they are letting these someone else’s (men through books, TV, CD's, etc.) teach them, when they should be allowing the Holy Spirit to lead them into all truth as they study the scriptures (the Bible). 1 Corinthians 2:6-8 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (KJV) Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God; all of the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in him; and the mystery of the gospel is Christ in you the hope of glory: whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. They knew, we know having been taught by the Holy Spirit and led into all truth, do you know? We pray that you too will rightly divide the word of truth, rightly divide what you hear from others by going to our Father (God) seeking his wisdom and understanding by the Holy Spirit and come to the knowledge of the truth that is in Jesus. God bless and keep the faith.

Today's video Hearts and Minds is on the topic of: Keep (guard) your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life (Proverbs 4:23). What is allowed to enter into our hearts is what will be renewing our minds. What a man thinks in his heart so is he. What are you renewing your mind with, what occupies your heart most? We are encouraged to be ye renewed in the spirit of our mind. We have been given a new heart, a new hope which makes us not ashamed, because the love of God (Christ in us the hope of glory) is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given unto us. It is the Holy Spirit that will lead and guide you into all truth, replacing the lies that have occupied your mind for so long; for it is the truth that shall make you free from the law of sin and death which you were once imprisoned in, serving the lusts of the flesh (old nature) with your heart and mind. We are a new creation in Christ, old things are passed away, behold all things are become new. So now... Philippians 2:5-6 Let (interest yourself in, exercise the mind, set the affection on, be of the same) this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal (in agreement) with God: (KJV) 1 Corinthians 2:14-16 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. (KJV) Colossians 3:1-2 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection (interest yourself in, exercise the mind, set the affection on, be of the same) on things above, not on things on the earth. (KJV) 1 Peter 4:1-2 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. (KJV) The mind of Christ; arm yourselves likewise with the same mind. If we are operating in the fleshly (carnal) mind the Lord is unable to instruct us, for who hath known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him? So, if we are operating in the mind of Christ the Lord is able to instruct us and we will know the mind of the Lord. A renewed mind that is instructed in the ways of God, not in the ways of sin. We have to be one with the Lord to be able to hear his instruction and understand; being in agreement with him, likeminded of one accord; we have the mind of Christ. It is given unto you to know. Are you renewing your mind on things above where the peace of God which passes all understanding shall keep (guard) your heart and mind through Christ Jesus, or on the cares of this life, the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering into the heart that chokes the word of God and it becomes unfruitful in the renewing of your mind in the thoughts and ways of God? What is occupying your heart that is renewing your mind the most? Read Romans 12:1-2 and 2 Corinthians 10:3-6. God bless and keep the faith.

Today's video Exceeding Expectations is on the topic of: The Lord's realm, which is Spirit and truth, is exceeding abundantly above all that we could ever ask or think; it is where grace abounds; where all of the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are revealed; where exceeding joy and abundant peace is; where there is health and safety spiritually and physically; where there is power (authority) to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power (influence) of the enemy; where there is life and life more abundantly; where unto us is given exceeding great and precious promises; where all of the promises of God in Christ Jesus are yea and amen; where we have been blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ; where we have received the measure (fullness) of the gift of Christ; where we have been given an unction from the Holy One and we know all things; whereby we have been raised up together and made to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus; where without measure all these and more is available to all those who believe, for the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man/woman to profit. Our life is hid with Christ in God, exceeding expectations. 2 Peter 1:1-4 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. (KJV) Jeremiah 33:6 Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth. (KJV) God told Abraham "I am thy exceeding great reward" in Genesis 15:1. Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Do you believe God, that all of his promises in Christ Jesus are yea and amen and that he loves you and sent his Son to die for you that you might be made the righteousness of God in him, and a partaker of the divine nature? Without faith it is impossible to please God. Jude 24-25 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. (KJV) Beloved brethren, we encourage you to walk in the Lord's realm, which is Spirit and truth, and remain seated in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus who is seated at the right hand of God, where all things are possible to those who believe. God bless and keep the faith.

Today's video Nothing Left is on the topic of: Without the Spirit of Christ, there is nothing left. The carnal mind is enmity (hostile or a reason for opposition) against God; for it is not subject to the law of God (the law of faith), neither indeed can be. And when we lean back to our own understanding, we are no longer operating in the mind of Christ (being renewed in spirit of our mind), but in our carnal fleshly mind in which all things will come to nothing. They that are in the flesh (the plane of the lower nature) cannot please God or be in agreement with God and his Word. Remember, in our flesh (our lower nature) is no good thing, and it is good for nothing. All that is in the lower nature of man is vanity, vanity, all is vanity, all is for nothing because the eyes of man are never satisfied. Without Christ, being renewed in the spirit of our mind and led by the Spirit of God, we can do nothing, our labor is in vain. If we think ourselves to be something, when we are nothing, we deceive ourselves. Our sufficiency is of God and not of ourselves. When we abide in Christ, we lack nothing because his grace is sufficient for us; when we are weak, he is strong; and through Christ who strengthens us we can do all things, and nothing shall be impossible to those who believe. John 15:4-6 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. (KJV) 2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: (KJV) 1 Corinthians 15:57-58 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. (KJV) It is the Spirit that gives life, the flesh profits nothing; the words that the Lord speaks unto us are spirit and life, and in them death is swallowed up in victory. By grace we are saved through faith, and that not of ourselves, it is the gift of God; it is not of works, lest any man should boast. So, let us put away childish things, our old ways and thoughts, and move on to maturity in Christ, being led of the Spirit, where all things are possible and will not be for nothing. There is nothing left, nothing new under the sun according to the flesh; but there is abundant life in the Son, Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom old things are passed away, and all things are become new according to the Spirit. Put your hand to the plough of salvation and don't look back where there is nothing left. God bless and keep the faith. Romans 6:21-23 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Today's video Patient in Tribulation is on the topic of: Patient in tribulation. Our Lord Jesus Christ had his own trials, tribulations, and persecutions while here on this earth, even unto death, yet through all these things he committed himself unto God who is faithful and endured unto eternal life; and he has left us an example on how to persevere and overcome the world as he was tempted in all manner as we are yet he sinned not. How are going to handle the trials, tribulations, and persecutions that come with salvation; all those who live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. Will you rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, and continue instant in prayer so that you are able to respond in the Spirit, to hear the way of escape, or will you try to overcome on your own first, reacting in the flesh by leaning to your own understanding which is flawed and be overcome and the latter end is worse than the beginning? It is the trying of our faith (our trust and confidence in God and his plan of salvation that he planned for us personally from the foundation of the world, delivered unto us by and through Christ Jesus), that works patience (cheerful endurance, constancy, waiting); so, rejoice in the Lord always knowing he has your escape planned from the foundation of the world. Romans 5:1-5 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation (pressure, afflicted, anguish, trouble, persecution) worketh patience; And patience, experience (trustiness, tried character, proof); and experience, hope (expectation, confidence, faith): And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. (KJV) 1 Peter 2:19-25 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. (KJV) Will you be patient in tribulation and wait for the perfect gift from above, an answer on how to overcome, the way of escape, so that you are able to stand before the Lord Christ having done all to stand, being made the righteousness of God in him through faith? Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. (KJV) This is where you will find the way of escape. God bless and keep the faith.

Today's video Beginning to End is on the topic of: From the beginning of your walk in the Spirit, being born again, are you continuing in the Spirit in your commitment with the Lord Jesus Christ who laid down his life for you? Or have you begun in the Spirit only to end up leaning back to your own understanding trying to perfect your walk by the flesh? Our relationship with the Lord is like a marriage; we made a commitment, giving our life to Jesus Christ, now are we remaining faithful or are we leaning back to the flesh trying to mix with the world and/or the traditions and doctrines of men, cheating on our commitment to the Lord; evil communications corrupt good morals. We are in this world, but when we accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour we are no longer of this world; our citizenship is in heaven where we are now seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of God, and who is our mediator. We should be holding fast the profession of faith from the beginning of our walk to the end of our walk with the Lord; continuing in the faith grounded and settled and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which was given to us through the one (Jesus Christ) who began in the Spirit, the author and finisher of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. We have a beginning in the Spirit by Jesus Christ; and we too for the joy that has been set before us should take up our own cross and follow him enduring unto the end of our faith where there is laid up for us a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give us at that day if we end in the Spirit and stand before him not having on our own righteousness which is as filthy rags, but having on the righteousness of God. Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. (KJV) From beginning to end choose you this day, for today is the day of salvation, if you will be led by the Spirit of God or be led by your carnal fleshly mind back into the world and its ways. From beginning to end, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever; wouldn't that be a living testimony within us from beginning to end. God bless and keep the faith.

Today's video Facts of Life is on the topic of: Two immutable (fixed, unchangeable, unalterable) facts of eternal life; you need to know the Father and the Son whom he sent. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life; and no man comes unto the Father but by him; and there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Do you know the Son, and the Father? It is given unto you to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; behold the kingdom of God is within you; Christ in you the hope of glory. It is your Father in heaven that is leading and guiding you and working in you. The importance of understanding these two unchangeable, unalterable, fixed facts that you cannot know the Father unless you know the Son, and once you know the Son, the Son can reveal the Father unto you is vital to eternal life. The revelation of Christ, knowing who the Son of the living God is, allows you to come unto the Father and come to know the Father. Without these two immutable things working in you and on your behalf, there is no life. John 8:15-19 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. (KJV) Matthew 11:25-27 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. (KJV) John 17:1-3 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (KJV) 1 John 5:9-13 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Today's video Double Cross is on the topic of: Are you taking up your own cross, dying to self, and following the Lord, or are you double crossing the Lord and crucifying the Son of God afresh? Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory was crucified once on the cross for us. Many are crucifying the Son of God afresh, and putting him to an open shame, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men and in vain do worship him. Hebrews 6:1-6 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this will we do, if God permit. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. (KJV) There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all; and unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. It is Christ in you the hope of glory. And there is one doctrine, the doctrine of Christ, that God our Father approves of. The doctrine of Christ includes one taking up their own cross daily, dying to self wants and desires, self-will, and following the Lord in His doctrine according to the will of God. There are many antichrists, seducing spirits, doctrines of devils who are crucifying the Son of God afresh and putting him to an open shame which would have you partake of the same with them. And the only way you will be able to discern between their doctrines and the Lord's doctrine, is by allowing the Holy Spirit to teach you the doctrine of Christ and lead you into all truth. By knowing the doctrine of Christ, the truth given by Jesus Christ, you will be able to spot the deceivers and their doctrines and will not follow them or give heed to the strangers (satan) voice through them; instead you will follow and live by the faith of the Son of God who loved you and gave himself for you, and give heed to His voice who will lead you into all truth and in the path of eternal life. Choose you this day which cross you will take up.

Today's video You Should... is on the topic of: Jesus Christ is the complete name that you should be confessing before men and God our Father. Jesus is the son of man; Christ is the Son of God. God made this same Jesus who was crucified, both Lord and Christ. There is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. There is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Philippians 2:5-11 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee "should" bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue "should" confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (KJV) Acts 4:10-12 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (KJV) Unto you is is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God and you should be able to give the answer to the mystery of the gospel to any man who would ask of the hope within you and you should be able to give account unto our Father of his Son, for he may ask you, do you know my Son?. So, do you know Christ; whose son is he? Many know the man Jesus, but don't know the Son who was sent. God sent his word and healed us and delivered us from our destructions (Psalms 107:20). And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth (John 1:14). Without Christ, the power and wisdom of God, being confessed in, through, and by you, you can do nothing. If you confess Jesus only, you are leaving out the power and wisdom of God (1Corinthians 1:24) in your life and prayers. Your only hope of glory should be acknowledged as Christ in you. You should know...2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. (KJV) Colossians 1:27-28 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: (KJV). You have been warned and taught in all wisdom; and now you should be confessing the complete name, the prescription that will make you whole and set you free, Jesus Christ. If not, you may be as one spoken of in Matthew 7:21-23 when you stand before the judgement seat of Christ, and hear the Lord say unto you "I never knew you, depart from me you worker of iniquity".

Today's video Clean Escape is on the topic of: Clean escape from the corruption that is in this world through lust and from them who live in error. When we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we are baptized with the Holy Ghost and with fire. We are now the temple of the living God, and we are clean and swept, purged from our sins and transgressions, and the worldly residue is burned up with unquenchable fire; for our God is a consuming fire. Old things are passed away, behold all things are become new. God delivered us from this present evil world and translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son, Christ Jesus our Lord. God sent his word (Christ) into our hearts and healed us and delivered us from our destructions. We have been given a new heart and a new mind to operate in the realm of the Spirit. And if we continue in his word, the word of God, we shall know the truth and the truth shall make us free. John 17:17 Sanctify (purify) them through thy truth: thy word is truth. (KJV) 1 Peter 1:17-23 (KJV) And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. Galatians 3:16 ...And to thy seed, which is Christ. (KJV) There are many false prophets in the world, antichrists (those who deny Christ), wolves in sheep's clothing, professing to know God but in works deny him; and they are the many who corrupt the word of God for money (the love of money is the root of all evil) or advantage. They are more focused on tithes and offerings that will sustain them, than they are for the upkeep of your spiritual temple, the temple of the living God, whom you are. And sad to say, but many are following their corrupt ways because their heart has become blinded by the god of this world, and they are no longer able to discern between good and evil because they have not taken the time to know the truth that set them free, and have become dependent on someone else to teach them instead of allowing the Holy Spirit of God to lead and guide them into all truth. And when you, yourself, become more focused on the cares of this life, the deceitfulness of riches, and lusts of other things you rob God in tithes and offerings, not the physical matters, but the spiritual upkeep of his temple which is his residence within you. You rob God the opportunity to help you and give you the strength to overcome whatever it may be that is hindering you, or harassing you, and distracting you from continuing in the faith and enduring unto the end and receive eternal life. Yes, we are in this world, and have to deal with everyday life, but we have the grace of God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ to help in time of need. He doesn't desire your money, he desires your whole heart, soul, and mind, and your time; so, take no thought for your life, and cast all of your care unto God and let him do the caring for you, and seek to please and serve him and worship him in spirit and in truth. You are clean escaped from this world through Jesus Christ, so brethren, stay clean, stay free, and don't omit spirit and truth. God bless and keep the faith.
