Does God Yahweh expect us to do something to meet his approval ?

Does (God) Yahweh expect us to do something to meet his approval ?

In the belief that Christianity should be a way of life—
and that God expects us to do something to meet His approval—has practically disappeared.
Ask Yourself these following Questions ..

Is it acceptable to believe we are free to worship God as we wish, to refashion God in our own image ?

Or has God revealed an approach to life that He expects us to follow?

Does He care about what we do and how we conduct ourselves?

Is He concerned about the way we live?

Does His Word define a way of life that He expects us to practice? If so, what is it?

Does it make any difference in the relationship we are supposed to have with Him?

answers no ... Yes Yes .... Yes .. Yes .. to be explained & Yes !



So be sure to check every word of everyone that teaches or preaches the message ..and also your ( spirit) heart of understanding , but it won't be a famous or well known preacher or prophet that is truly correct , why you ask ? ,

because God Yahweh said he would use the ones that people would never think about or even acknowledge as such .... BK
Take these following points in consideration when you examine your own awareness , congregation or church beliefs ..

The Scriptures reveal that, as “the god of this age” (2 Corinthians 4:4),
the devil has assembled a vast multitude of human assistants. Most of these are mere followers and some just unknowingly do so ...
But far too many of his followers are also deceived religious teachers who group on Sunday and don't even realize it . ...
" Some of us have seen the very workers of iniquity in action in our very own congregations we were in .. "

Paul explains the connection between them and the devil:
“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.
And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works” (2 Corinthians 11:13-14).

Blinded by false but popular doctrines and traditions that have passed from one generation to another, these deceived teachers are among Satan’s most influential tools of deception. He uses them to cleverly disguise his ways as God’s ways and lead people astray.

Some of these leaders, and the institutions they serve, are obviously based on nonbiblical concepts. In other words, their beliefs are secular or pagan in origin. They make no pretense of following the Holy Scriptures.

And that is what Yashua referred to the ' Blind leading the Blind ' ... And many others are counterfeits of the Church Yashua established.

Yashua Himself predicted that false teachers would rise up who would “deceive many” (Matthew 24:5, 11, 24).

I remember when growing up in our church and accepting Christ and being baptized that there was something we were missing ..but no one would listen to a 10 yr old boy ...

Satan the devil. This powerful, unseen spirit being is a master of lies and deception. As the mastermind behind the religious deception that envelops the world, he has blinded humanity to God’s truth. All of us have fallen prey to his lies to some extent in times past .. .

Satan copies the Father God just about in everything (what he can) to deceive us into believing it his way ..

This counterfeit Christianity began during the lifetime of Christ’s apostles (Galatians 1:6-7).
Peter warned faithful Christians: “But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed” (2 Peter 2:1-2).

When I was the age of 12 .. I asked an elder (deacon) ( one of the greatest generation) of the church ..How do we know we are getting it right ? " the answer was "we just do " ....it is that kind of answer why we are in the shape we are in today .. some said " it is how you feel ..do you feel you are doing good ? " ha ! with that being said ...
Tell you what ... let's learn it exactly as Christ taught it 2000 years ago ...
by the power of the Living Holy Spirit of God Yahweh .. What do you say ? ... BK

As a youngster I had always asked why did the churches now , not enjoy what the earlier workings of the church as Yashua & his disciples had .. Yashua (Jesus) worshiped on the Sabbath ..why is it that we do not ? '

The devil plays an immense role in the religions of mankind. and also such organizations as the Masonic Lodge .. which is heavily influenced by satanic rituals including the iluminati and other supposedly grand organizations ..
Any organization that has secrets ..are not to be trusted ..
on the flip side .. the true gospel is free and preached freely .. now ..You ..make the decision

It was Eve's emotions of desire and jealousy that got her to sin ..in the garden of Eden .. that is why I say .. the Holy Spirit is not to be conjoined with our emotions as most people have these days .. ( and most women have a high emotional reasoning and is the reason why they are called the weaker sex )
now most women would not agree with that statement ..and with 99% + men not being a man of God .. I intend to agree somewhat given the circumstances ..but the Holy Scriptures also makes that statement of the weaker sex ..giving truth & authority to the Creator of All . Yahweh God .. .

Only those who ask for God’s help, as they diligently study the Bible and compare their beliefs to what it teaches, can hope to overcome the deceptions that are so prevalent in today’s religious organizations and fellowships.

(.... most in dark blue ink or blue are my comments .. or an emphasis on a certain part of the scripture ..)
But each section no matter what the color is important to remember and study ...For compared to the number in society today there will be few who enter"
*******
I know you are thinking .. " this is too much ..this is not what I have been taught ? " but it is better to start over learning it correctly than to finish on the broad road you are on ...
a lot of times I will not specifically annotate a verse but hope you have read the Holy Scriptures enough to reason with it ..

*******
Now ..if I have Your Attention ? let's continue on to the first lesson below ..

What Does It Mean To Be Blessed by God?

What Does It Mean To Be Blessed by God?

16 Oct 2010


We all want to be under (God’s) Yahweh's blessing. It’s not unusual to hear someone say, “I’ve been blessed by God.” Usually, this is said in relation to success, health, family, wealth, or a job. We even hear athletes say this after winning a big game.

The common understanding of being blessed by (God) Elohim is that we receive good things from Him. In this respect, we can say that Yah’s blessing is on everyone, believers and unbelievers alike. Matthew 5:45 says that the Father who is in the heavens causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and unjust. In Acts 14:17 Paul spoke to the unbelieving Greeks about the living El saying, “He did good by giving you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.”

But is God’s blessing limited to only material things? Surely these are included, but thinking of Yah’s blessing as mainly material things severely limits our understanding of what the blessing in Yah’s heart is for us as believers. So what is the fuller meaning of being blessed by God?

The blessing of Abraham
Let’s begin with Almighty’s blessing of Abraham in Genesis 12:3: “And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.” Reading this verse by itself, we might think being blessed here means something outward, like a peaceful living situation. But later in Galatians 3:13 and 14, the apostle Paul explained what this means:

“Christ has redeemed us out of the curse of the law, having become a curse on our behalf; because it is written, ‘Cursed is every one hanging on a tree’; in order that the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles in Christ Yahshua, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”
These verses explain what Genesis means by “blessed” and answer the two questions below.

How can we be blessed?
As fallen sinners, we deserve nothing but judgment and curse. But Christ became a curse on our behalf. On the cross, Christ Jesus bore the curse that was upon all humanity and died in our place. Because of this alone, we can receive the blessing of Abraham. It’s not because of our good works or behavior; it’s entirely because of the redemptive work of Christ on the cross for us. We receive the blessing of God through faith in Christ.

What is the blessing of God?
Galatians 3:14 makes clear that the blessing in Christ that Yah wants us to receive is not material things, but the promise of the Spirit.
