Bound by Good

Bound by Good
We can be bound in a very negative way by good
if we don’t seek and choose to see the truth.
The Pharisees often offended Jesus with their good deeds,
but the truth has never offended our Lord.
The Pharisees rested on the Sabbath day.
When Jesus healed someone on the Sabbath,
it made them angry and offended them, and they totally missed the truth.
The Pharisees were obeying the law, doing what they thought was good,
but they became bound by the law and what they called good things.
Has the Son of God ever offended us by revealing the truth to us?
Have the law and good things ever bound us, causing
us to offend the Son of God?
The truth is, we can be bound by good in a negative way
if we don’t seek, see, and bring the truth.
We are not followers of good, but seekers and embracers of truth.
Truth is perfect, good is not.
We don’t want to be bound by good; we want to be set free by truth.
For the Law was given through Moses;
grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ
(John 1:17).
Ask the Lord to forgive you for following good rather than truth.
Ask Him to forgive you for judging others
according to right or wrong rather than the truth.
Ask Him to stop you from going to the tree of knowledge of good and evil,
and start going to the Tree of Life instead.
Always choose the Tree of Life.
Never be offended by Jesus showing grace to those whom we call sinners.
May the Lord set us free from good, and lead us to the truth.
In His beautiful and perfect name, Amen.

From Getting to Giving

From Getting to Giving I had a meeting with a minister today and it was very hard for me. When I got back home, I asked the Lord to tell me the reason. I felt He said that I went to the meeting to receive, not to give. I went to the meeting to get some possible connection for future ministry. May the Lord change our attitude from getting to giving . Selfishness will creep in on us and jump on our shoulders. No matter what we do, if we do it to gain something, we will never be satisfied. Most of our giving is conditional, and conditional acts open the door for our old nature to kick in. Unconditional acts open the door for our new nature to come in. When our new nature rules, there is peace and comfort in the Spirit. But when our old nature rules, there is agony and discomfort. May we allow the Spirit of God to come out of us through our unconditional acts and thoughts. From Kamran Yaraei’s Book “Food For The Heart”.

He Comes to Kill

He Comes to Kill When facing a thief with a gun in our houses or workplaces, we think that if we give him all of our money, then he will leave us alone and let us live. Sometimes we have the same mindset when we meet Jesus. We believe that if we give everything we have to the Lord, and serve Him well, then He might just let us live. But the point is this: The Lord doesn’t come to steal, but to kill. He is not after our possessions, He is after our flesh—our old, sinful nature. The Lord will use all of our daily struggles to kill our flesh. Our good works and giving will not stop Him from doing this. “Whoever seeks to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it” (Luke 17:33). It is very important to know that as we get closer to the Lord, we get closer to the death of our flesh. This should be great news to us. He wants us to get close enough that He can kill our old nature, which is thoroughly described in Galatians 5:19-20: Now the works of the flesh are ev...
