Have you thought about the way you treat your parents? Even those who raised you, if not your birth parents?

We are to honor our mother and father. God even promised we may live long on this earth by honoring them.

The way you treat them, will come back to you.

Ephesians 6:2-3 (KJV) – honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment and promise; that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

Matthew 7:12 (KJV) – therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

If you don’t like the consequences, change your actions, by changing the way you think.

Proverbs 3:7 (KJV) – be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

Romans 12:2 (KJV) – and be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

When a stranger or your neighbor is hungry or need to be clothed, you are to feed them, you are to clothe them.

Whatever you do, or do not to your neighbor, you’re doing it unto God.

You are your brother’s keeper.

Matthew 25:40, 45 (KJV) – and the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he answer them; saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

God sees everything you do, whether good or bad. He sees it all.

He’s watching you now.

Proverbs 15:3 (KJV) – the eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

If you don’t like the way you’re headed, change your direction.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV) – trust in the Lord with all thine heart: and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Our battles are not on the outside, with flesh and blood, but within ourselves.If our battle is within ourselves, so are our weapons.

Ephesians 6:12 (KJV) – for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

You are the light of the world. Make a difference.

The world is in darkness . . . turn up your light!!!

Matthew 5:14 (KJV) – ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

If you’re living by the compliments of others to lift you up, the criticism of others will also bring you down.

Stop allowing others to validate you. Know who you are, not who others say you are.

You are who God says you are – a child of God! Joint-heirs with Christ! Fearfully and wonderfully made! More than a conqueror!

Romans 8:16-17 (KJV) – the Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs: heirs of God, and join-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also gloried together.

Psalm 139:14 (KJV) – I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

Romans 8:36-37 (KJV) – as it is written, for thy sake we are killed all lthe day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

A blueprint is a plan laid out, how it should look when it’s finished. It doesn’t show the what-ifs. It only shows the end results.

They same is with our lives. God has a blueprint laid out for us. Even when we do our own thing (the what-ifs). He knows the end results.

Whatever God has planned for you, he will finish it until the end.

Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV) – for I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Philippians 1:6 (KJV) – being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.

Whatever you’re praying for, you also have to be willing to give of that very thing. Whatever ‘that’ is.

You want love, you have to give love. You want more wealth, you have to give of your wealth.

Give, and you’ll get more back. You can’t reap a harvest, if you haven’t planted your seed.

Luke 6:38 (KJV) – give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
