For Every Action there is a Consequence

•  Newton's Third Law
  

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Galatians 6:7-8 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.




I have been telling my children for years that for every action there is a consequence. Normally when a person hears that statement they give it negative connotations.  That is not necessarily what it means. If you act kindly, you will receive kindness. If you are productive you will receive the reward of your productivity. There will always be negative consequences for negative actions, but if you are focusing on negative all of the time there are so many positive things that you are going to miss out on. Start sowing positive into your life. Into your words, thoughts, and actions, and although you may still be in a season of reaping from the negative you had previously sown, The positive will come!


Proverbs 11:18 The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.

Job 4:8 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.

Psalms 126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 

Psalms 97:11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.  

 Hosea 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

 James 3:18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace

Not My will

Matthew 7:21 - Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.


How many times have you woken up in the morning with big plans in mind for the day ahead??  Good food, good company, a grand adventure in mind.......Then the spirit spoke.  You heard loud and clear " Change of plans! I am calling you to servanthood today."  Many times in this walk we will be asked to lay down our thoughts, plans or ideas for a time to do something that is quite often hard or uncomfortable for us. Our flesh will say but... but ..;. but... That is the moment we have a choice to make. Do we listen to the spirit or do we listen to our flesh?  So many people base their decisions on what they are feeling and what their plan was they miss the blessing in servanthood.  So my question for you today is will you say "no" to the spirit or will you say "not my will but thine be done"??

Joshua 24:15 - And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that [were] on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Insatiable Lust....

1 Peter 2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

Mark 4:19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

Ecclesiasticus 18: 30Go not after thy lusts, but refrain thyself from thine appetites. 31If thou givest thy soul the desires that please her, she will make thee a laughingstock to thine enemies that malign thee

1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Lust of the FLESH, Lust of the EYES, PRIDE of life..........none of these things are of the Father and yet because we are flesh they are all things we must battle. So What is it your flesh is lusting after??? 2 Peter says it is self-willed(Idolatry) presumptuous, unclean, and unafraid of speaking evil. Galatians 5 teaches us about adultery, fornication, lasciviousness( reflecting or producing sexual desire or behavior especially that is considered indecent or obscene) witchcraft, hatred, variance (the fact or quality of being different, divergent, or inconsistent), emulations(effort to match or surpass a person or achievement, typically by imitation), wrath, strife, seditions(conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority), heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings,sensuality (total irresponsibility, lack of self-control),idolatry, sorcery, hostility, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions [that promote heresies].
Lust of the eyes??  What are you looking at? Is it something that will edify you and bring you closer to the Father or something that will distract you????Proverbs 4:25 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.

Pride of life what is pride of life??? The pride of life can be defined as anything that is “of the world, meaning anything that leads to arrogance, ostentation, pride in self, presumption, and boasting.-anything that exalts us above our station and offers the illusion of God-like qualities, wherein we boast in arrogance and worldly wisdom." (https://www.gotquestions.org/pride-of-life.html) Do you want to be a servant or are you after the new age theory that you are a god??

"The flesh is the gateway to the demonic. Many times (unless it is generational, etc.), it is through the flesh that demons gain entrance into a person's life. We are first tempted by demons (the enemy works through his army of fallen angels) because they are seeking to gain entrance into our lives or carry out a plan to kill, steal or destroy us (see John 10:10), then once we give in, they become welcomed into our lives, and once they enter, they will serve as bad friends who will constantly seek to negatively influence us."

James 1:13Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

"Demons cannot simply walk up to us and enter... they must be welcomed, and our flesh is their tool to get the job done. If they can tempt us to sin, and our flesh opens the door, then they will have 'permission' to access our souls and/or bodies. This is why you cannot effectively minister to a person who is not ready to let go of their bondage. If somebody is not willing to give up lust, then even if you do get them delivered (by casting out all spirits of lust, addiction, etc.), that person will likely (without even knowing it) re-open that door all over again and the demons can come right back."

Psalms 81: 11But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me. and they walked in their own counsels.'12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels. 13Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways! 14I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

Yea Yea or Nay Nay???

When we are running after the Most High......we will not have to look far to see scripture unfolding before us daily.  IF you are submitted to the Most High then you will see why what we are seeing has to be.  The FIRE is here ……All of the chaos we see before us in these days will draw you closer to the Most High.  Why???  So IF you can stay in His covering because He has to destroy this fallen place, then How will keep you.  It is up to us to understand that because of all the chaos that is before us that our Yes or our No to this strife matters.  In other words let the world do what it does; because scripture tells us that it must be so. IF we belong to the Father then we will move according to our Savior’s teaching in Matthew 5:1-21 alone.

Matthew 5:1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

  So the question becomes have you found peace with all that is before us???  IF not what are you doing so the Father can bring His peace to you???  Those that are His know that we have to stand to the end that is coming???  Will your choice be to adhere to our Father's instruction???   Will your answer to Abba be Yea Yea or Nay Nay???  Yes it does matter!!!!!.
