The Lord detests the sacrifice of the wicked, but the prayer of the upright pleases Him. (Proverbs 15: 8). God is not pleased  with the gifts, money or sacrifices made by those who are wicked or who live in sin. He wants us to give our lives to Him first & then we can bring our gifts to Him. If we are wicked & think that we can bribe Him with our gifts & other sacrifices, we are deceiving ourselves.  Our money, gifts & sacrifices become DETESTABLE to Him. God will not multiply them back to us. We will remain average despite our giving. We will not become righteous. Someone may ask: Where is righteousness coming in since we are talking about giving? It is written: He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever. Now He who supplies seed to the sower & bread for food will supply & increase your store of seed & will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. (see 2 Corinthians 9:9-10).  Our gifts to God have a bearing on righteousness. Why? Because our generosity results in thanksgiving to God. Note: Its not how much you give that is important to God but the manner in which you give it. Biblical giving is an INDESCRIBABLE  gift. Prayer: Father I thank you for Jesus. Thank you for hearing & answering my prayers. We confess our sins. Forgive them & wash us by the blood of Jesus. Let Your Word make us CLEAN. I assign angels under our complement to minister to our needs.  In Jesus mighty name we pray, believe, & give you thanks, Amen. Immanuel: God with us.

 This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds & write them on their hearts. I will be their God, & they will be My people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying: Know the Lord, because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest. (Hebrews 8:10-11). If our hearts are not changed, following God's rules will be unpleasant & difficult.  We will rebel against being told how to live the Christian way. The Holy Spirit, however, gives us new desires, helping us wanting to obey God. With new hearts, hearts of flesh & not hearts of stone, we will find that serving God is our greatest joy. Under God's new covenant, God's law is inside us & not outside, ie, on a tablet of stone. No, it's written in our hearts. It is no longer an external set of rules & principles. The Holy Spirit reminds us of Christ's words, activates our ...

 The Lord will punish with His sword, His fierce, great & powerful sword. Leviathan the gliding serpent, Leviathan the coiling serpent: He will slay the monster of the sea. (Isaiah 27: 1). This chapter is about deliverance of Israel. God has a day in which He is going to judge all of us in regards to sin & righteousness. Some may say: we have been hearing about judgement since we were young, we do not think that this is true. Let me answer you this way: it is written: The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but everyone to come to REPENTANCE. The day of the Lord will come like a thief. I urge you all: Once connected to God through Christ, stay connected, so that you will be ready all the time. How do we prepare on a personal level? Read or study His Word daily, digest it, internalize it, obey its principles & pass it on to others so that they too may be saved & delivered as we are. ...
