Dishonest, deceitful or discernment

Good morning everyone!!! I hope you have a wonderful day today. By the way, for the ones who don't know, I put this on a blog if you want to visit and comment openly for others to view. The address is: www.blogger.com , then go to JohnnyBdaily and you will find my blog. May this day be a wonderful day in the Lord for you. Please pray for yourself, the people on this list, for our fellow neighbors and Americans as people will be traveling, BBQing, and some getting a little crazy this upcoming July 4th. You know, have you ever thought about being totally honest? Or are we deceitful and dishonest. Your first response is I AM NOT DECEITFUL OR DISHONEST.....well, I ask....whether with your spouse, a friend, family, have you NEVER given or manipulated information in such a way to manuver to get what you want? Yep, I have......but then later, how did you feel? A lot of how we feels depends where we are in our walk with Jesus. Maybe it depends on are looking for, but not strong in our faith of Jesus. Discernment means sound judgment; do I, do you always use sound judgment? What do you mean sound judgment, yeah, I do, see I have a......... No, no, no, that is not sound judgment in your spiritual life. You may be a good stewart of you house, money, affairs, family....but not love the Lord our God. If we don't love Jesus and have full faith in our Father, how do we expect to be wise and show discernment? In 2 Timothy 3...this tells us about the end times. This is when it will be difficult to be a Christian. Okay, back up, when are the end times? When do they begin? That is an easy question....the end times began after Jesus' resurrection when the Holy Spirit came at Pentecost. In end times people will care about: themselves, money. they will be boastful and proud, scoff at God, parents, and be ungrateful; nothing wll be sacred. WOW!!! Ya think we are there? Sure sounds like it, huh? Okay, 2 Timothy 3:4-8 "THEY WILL BETRAY THEIR FRIENDS, BE RECKLESS, BE PUFFED UP WITH PRIDE, AND LOVE PLEASURE RATHER THAN GOD. (5) THEY WILL ACT RELIGIOUS, BUT THEY WILL REJECT THE POWER THAT COULD MAKE THEM GODLY STAY AWAY FROM PEOPLE LIKE THAT! (6) THEY ARE THE KIND WHO WORK THEIR WAY INTO PEOPLE'S HOMES AND WIN THE CONFIDENCE OF VULNERABLE WOMEN WHO ARE BURDENED WITH THE GUILT OF SIN AND OCNTROLLED BY VARIOUS DESIRES. (7) SUCH WOMEN ARE FOREVER FOLLOWING NEW TEACHINGS, BUT THEY ARE NEVER ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE TRUTH. (8) THESE TEACHERS OPPOSE THE TRUTH JUST AS jANNES AND jAMBRES OPPOSED MOSES. THEY HAVE DEPRAVED MINDS AND A COUNTERFEIT FAITH. (9) BUT THEY WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS FOR LONG. sOMEDAY EVERYONE WILL RECOGNIZE WHAT FOOLS THEY ARE, JUST AS WITH JANNES AND JAMBRES." Enough said, where are you? Are you following Christ? If not, why not? If not pray now for yourself. If you are following Christ, are you strong in you walk? Don't deceive yourself, don't be dishonest to yourself, but discern or show good judgment in all you do, bringing glory to Jesus. Love you all....thanks for reading.In Christ's Love and GraceJohnny
