LIFE’S LESSONS!
LIFE’S LESSONS!
Life's lessons are for those who want correction and direction in their life! They want to do the will of God and love him so much they are willing to put down all that they are and seek God for themselves to be all that God wants them to be!
For many are called and few are chosen, and not all that say Lord Lord have we not done this for you in your name? For they will not see the kingdom of heaven! For they have not put down self and picked up the cross, they want to do what they want and not wait on the Holy Spirit to burn out of them all that is not of God in them! So they run ahead of God.
We come as we are and God accepts us just as we are! We believe that Jesus died for us and by HIS BLOOD we are saved! Once we accept salvation our lives are change, we no longer live in the sin we were in! We are a new creation in Christ! With that we seek God more for his direction in our lives! As we do that the Holy Spirit will revile what you need to confess and repent in your life. At times God will send others to help you and show you the truth. If you’re open to hear what the Spirit is saying to you! For God desires that he prune out of us the bad fruit and we process the good fruit. With the tree of good fruit we still need daily maintenance of pruning to bare more fruit!
God loves us so much that all he asks of us is obey him and do what he tells us to do! We obey him because we love God; We then examine our own life and allow ourselves to repent of the sin that is holding us back from doing God’s will in our life! With Gods help we can overcome that sin that had its hold on us! We must believe in Jesus name that he can do that for us.
We are not to judge others least we be judge! Because we do not know the heart of the person nor do we know where they are in Christ! God is the one to judge the heart but we can judge the fruit that person bears. If we do see sin then we are to gently show them the sin, if they refuse to hear us, then we are to leave them alone. God will deal with them in his own way! All we can do is just pray that their mind and heart be open to see the light of the truth so they to can be set free and be all that God wants them to be and move in the direction of God not self.
When we allow the Holy Spirit to show us the truth about ourselves and we allow his correction of life in our lives, then he will show us his direction for our lives so we can be all that God has called us to be.

OK now God gives me the poem to the lesson I had learn in Life's Lesson! ~ God In Me! On February 1!
For those of you who did read that, are thinking, I just read that! Yes you did, Life's Lesson ~ God In Me is the first chapter of my book I am now writing. I did leave this as well as the God in Me poem in. For those who did not read the first chapter and just want to read the poems first. But those two poems is how and why I named the book the way I did. The rest of the chapters are now based on the poems and the lesson I had learn. I am praying about this. As to take the lessons out as I write the book. Just leave the poems online.
When God woke me up last week and told me to write Life's Lesson I was looking for the poem, instead he gave me Bible verses to look up and a sermon on sin the ones that are abomination to him. And told me to put them all in and allowing God spirit to show me what I needed to do for my own life. Then he had me put in my sin that was on sexual immorality that I wanted to hid since I was no longer in that sin. I felt no reason to bring it up to anyone! I was ashamed to admit I was no better then the rest of them that are in that sin or the other ones listed. Then God told me to put it all in! I did not want to put in the sermon it was so hashed. But I had to do what God told me to do! I had no understanding why he had me do that and no poem! Now I understand what God was doing!
He just gave me the revelation to what he was doing!
He is doing something new in my life that I am not use to doing. On all the other poems that God has given me, He always takes me through bible verses after bible verses and I am asking him question on that verses and God speaks to me and tells me what I need to hear. I see how that affects my life and I repent of that sin once I got that lesson learned in my life then God gives me the poem to that lesson.
So before he would have taken me through them all like he showed you in Life's Lesson! ~ God In Me! And it looks like a sermon and It is and it is for me but he wanted it in here so others can see how God works through me! That it does lines up with the WORD OF GOD!
Now you see the poem he gave me on that lesson he taught me!
And that I am not just putting it in to be self righteous I am not! I am putting it in so you can see it is the righteousness of God words that gives correction to those who are looking for direction in their lives and they have not found that direction. For they are not at peace with God nor do they have the Joy of the Lord! That is the good fruit of the spirit! Self control also means we have self control over the sexual immorality in our lives! But also self control over self that that is not of God, we put self down and do the will of God as well. That can mean anything to that person depending on how God is dealing with them.
Am I free of that sin? God I hope so! Will I be tempted to go back into that sin, I most likely will be temped again! But as long as I put my trust in the Lord and believe all that he tells me in God's word that is the Bible, I can overcome it! That is why he tells us to put on the full armor of God! Because Satan would love nothing better to see us back into that sin, we have victory over it because God's word says we do!
But this lesson is for everyone as well as me, for this is part of life's lesson that God teaches to everyone! How important it is to allow his correction in our lives, for if we are convicted of these sins then we as believers must confess them to God and turn away from them! Not all will get into the Kingdom of Heaven!
Then he gives me the poem once I have learned the lesson just as he just did for me on that sin I had learned and repented of.
But this time God wanted it all written out what he was showing me and telling me it is for everyone to read! That part of the other poems you do not see that part, Just the poem and what lesson I had learned from it that I can remember since most of them were written in the 1990's. At that time of my life, I had no idea that I would need the lesson for the poem or you would have seen another sermon after sermon. Had I known that I would have wrote it down so I would have it now to put in with the poem. But I do see now why God wanted that sermon in. So all can see how God works through me to teach not just me but you as well that life lesson.
Also I have prayed over this so many times, I did not want to put the lesson in that I learn that brought out the poem, and for the last several months I have debated it over and over to take the lessons out! I felt that others can read the poem and God would show them for themselves what Lesson they needed to learn from the poem. And not look at the lesson I had learn that brought out the poem. Over and over again God told me no I had to leave the lesson in. Now I understand why!
The Holy spirit told me that it is a lesson in life that I had come out of by trusting and believing in Jesus to deliver me out of and he has. But I had to bring it out of the darkness and into the light so others can see by the word of my testimony they can be set free!
Galatians 5:16-26
Life by the Spirit
So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.
The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
under construction
So true Christians ain't perfect, we all have issues and we all are still under construction! We are a work in progress! That is why we can not judge the heart of a person, only God knows the true heart and motive of each and every one of us! He knows why we do what we do and our motives for doing it!
So many times people judge us for what we do, not knowing or realizing that often at times it is God who sent us to that person. But because of their hardening of the heart to that area in there lives, or they just plain do not like us so their mind is all ready made up, so they refuse to hear what we are saying, and justify themselves at being right so they find fault with us and their pride comes in and they feel we are judging them! They do not see as a friend in Christ but as an enemy to hurt them for some reason.
They can not see pass that and start blaming us for this and that! They even want to know who did we talk to about this or that! In fear we have discredited them! That is all they care about. Then they just start finding ways to hurt us for hurting them by talking to others and discredited our good name! They do not care to know their sin or the error they made to help them become a better person in the kingdom of God! They care about self and how we hurt them! That is all they see, they are so blinded by their truth not realizing that the person has God's truth to set them free!
They can not see that God sent us to them to help them not hurt them in anyway! Even when we go to them in private and not say anything to no one what is going on. They do not care to hear the error they made, all they care about is themselves and how we hurt them in some way and their mind is made up they just don't like us so they blame us for what ever blame they can find. When that was never our intention or motive!
They truly do not want any correction from God so that God can move them in the direction that he wants them to go in. That is why God tells us to move on and leave them alone.
I have had to do this to so many of my good friends, In the other lesson that sounded like a sermon, I mention that 2 of my friends I had to leave them. But God just showed me more and more friends in my life I had to leave behind. One was a very close friend I had for over 15 years, who I thought was a true Christian and matter fact I had lead her to the Lord when she was a neighbor of mine back in 1991 and She seen in my life what God was doing and she wanted that in her life. She seen the miracles that God was doing, like when God gave me a car and how all my prayers were answered. To lose her as a friend hurt me deeply!
I had even helped her get her 2 daughters back after she lost them and her mother had full custody of them! When she had lost all faith that they would be return to her!
Slowly over the years I had seen the bad fruit produce in her life and I did nothing about it, I felt it was not my place to tell her she was my friend! She lost both daughters, one is in jail, the other ran off to hid from the police and had put her 2 children up for adoption. My friend was hurting losing her daughters and now grandchildren, so how could I tell her of the bad fruit she was producing in her life!
I knew she was selling her pain medication for money. But did nothing because I was blinded on how it would affect my life or my daughters life. More or less I was condoning it! Then she brought it to my daughter to sell for her! My daughter came to me and told me this.
In the end I had to tell her I could no longer be friends with her, She did not want to hear the truth from me. And I did not turn her in, she was my friend. But I had to walk away from her, I did not want her around my daughter!
But God did show me, that I should have turn her in, I had enable her to continue in that sin of selling pills or getting others to sell her pain medication her Doctor wrote out to her and she was selling it to others to make money! Who knows how many people have been harmed by her pills, let alone it is illegal to sell any kind of drugs to anyone!
I am held accountable for that by God, I will have to face God on Judgment day over that one. Even though I have asked God to forgive me for not turning her in.
Those who see others in sin and do not confront them of the sin or error they are in. Even if they are friends with them and they know that sin or error can lead others in sin or that it can harm others or lead them astray and into sin or away from God. They too will be held accountable to God for that! For God does not favor anyone! Sin is sin!
