Seeking God
Our God and His will for us-Jack Blake
Friday, June 14, 2024Good Morning,
We must know and believe the words of David in Psalm 48.14; This God is our God for ever and ever; He will be our God even unto death. And the wise man said in Proverbs 3.5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart; lean not on your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths, for His word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. Psalm 119.105. God has taught us and showed us what is good and all He requires of us is to do justly, to love mercy, and to humbly walk with Him. See Micah 6.8. Salvation belongs to our God; what a wonderful savior is He.
Father, we thank you for your beloved Son Jesus and for Your word on which we firmly stand. Help us Father to never forget that You are the rock we lean on and our fortress and for Your sake lead us and guide us through this pilgrim land to our heavenly home. AMEN

I'm just a Christian
with no regrets
not above sin
but doing my best
to please my God
in all that I do
being His savant
as He told me to
having hope in my heart
that on that great
I'll hear the voice of the Master say
welcome to heaven
for ever to stay
God's Will-Jack Blake
Friday, June 07, 2024Good Morning,
As disciples of Christ we are not to be conformed to this world, but is transformed by the renewing of the mind to prove what is the good and acceptable, and perfect will of God. Romans 12.2.
And does His will from the heart. for we are His servants. Ephesians 6.6. The disciple does not live any longer in the flesh for the lust of men, but for the will of God. 1 Peter 4.2. Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires and lives and walks in the Spirit. Galatians 5.24-25.
The Church Jesus Built-Jack Blake

Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious and he who believes in Him will by no means be put to shame. Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, the stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense. They stumble being disobedient to the word to which they were appointed. (From 1 Peter 2.7-8). In verse 9 Peter speaks to and of those who follow Christ (Christians), those who believe, obey in all faithfulness, he says you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praise of Him who called you out of darkness and into His marvelous light. It is Christians who make up Christ's church (Matthew 16.18), the only church that was purchased by His very own blood, (Acts 20.28).
Live and walk in the Spirit-Jack Blake
Friday, May 31, 2024Good Morning,
Walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh and these are contrary to one another. So that you do not do the things that you wish. These are the works of the flesh: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, disenssensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkennsess, revelries. Those who practice such things WILL NOT inherit the Kingdom of God. Contrary to this is the fruit of the Spirit: love, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control. THOSE WHO ARE CHRIST'S have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit let us also walk in the Spirit, and not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
From Galatians 5.16-25. Emphasis mine.
