REAL life zombies

 

Ephesians 2:2

King James Version

2 Wherein in time past ye walked 

according to the course of this world, 

according to the prince of the power of the air, 

the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:


We laugh.

We joke.

We think they're cool.

Many like zombie films.

Not knowing it's close to the truth.

Why are the young obsessed with zombie films?

We are all zombies.

All living dead.

UNLESS, and UNTIL, we are saved.

Wherein we believe in JESUS.

We come to life.

For these reasons:

Romans 8:5-8

King James Version

5 For they that are after the flesh do mind 

the things of the flesh; 

but they that are after the Spirit 

the things of the Spirit.

6 For to be carnally minded is death; 

but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: 

for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.


Romans 8:13

King James Version

13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: 

but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, 

ye shall live.


We are zombies, because of sin.

We need to be born again, that GOD's SPIRIT may be in us.

Romans 8:10

King James Version

10 And if Christ be in you, 

the body is dead because of sin; 

but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.


John 3:3-7

King James Version

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, 

How can a man be born when he is old? 

can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, 

and be born?

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.


A born again becomes a new creature in CHRIST.

2 Corinthians 5:17

King James Version

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, 

he is a new creature: 

old things are passed away; 

behold, all things are become new.


Believers will have a new, glorified body.

Right now, we are in flesh.

But one day, we will have a spiritual body.

When we are resurrected by CHRIST.

JESUS was raised from the dead.

Believers will experience that, too.

1 Corinthians 15:35-58

King James Version

35 But some man will say, 

How are the dead raised up? 

and with what body do they come?

36 Thou fool, 

that which thou sowest is not quickened, 

except it die:

37 And that which thou sowest, 

thou sowest not that body that shall be,

but bare grain, 

it may chance of wheat, 

or of some other grain:

38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, 

and to every seed his own body.

39 All flesh is not the same flesh: 

but there is one kind of flesh of men, 

another flesh of beasts, 

another of fishes, 

and another of birds.

40 There are also celestial bodies, 

and bodies terrestrial: 

but the glory of the celestial is one, 

and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

41 There is one glory of the sun, 

and another glory of the moon,

 and another glory of the stars: 

for one star differeth from another star in glory.

42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. 

It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: 

it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:

44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. 

There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

45 And so it is written, 

The first man Adam was made a living soul; 

the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, 

but that which is natural; 

and afterward that which is spiritual.

47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; 

the second man is the Lord from heaven.

48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: 

and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, 

we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

50 Now this I say, brethren, 

that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; 

neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; 

We shall not all sleep, 

but we shall all be changed,

52 In a moment, 

in the twinkling of an eye, 

at the last trump:

 for the trumpet shall sound, 

and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, 

and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, 

and this mortal must put on immortality.

54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, 

and this mortal shall have put on immortality, 

then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, 

Death is swallowed up in victory.

55 O death, where is thy sting? 

O grave, where is thy victory?

56 The sting of death is sin; 

and the strength of sin is the law.

57 But thanks be to God, 

which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, 

be ye stedfast, unmoveable, 

always abounding in the work of the Lord, 

forasmuch as ye know that your labour 

is not in vain in the Lord.


GOD is a LIVING GOD.

We, in the flesh, are dead from sin.

We need JESUS, that we may live.

And have ETERNAL LIFE.

The BIBLE on genders


Genesis 1:26

King James Version

26 And God said, 

Let us make man in our image, 

after our likeness: 

and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, 

and over the fowl of the air, 

and over the cattle, 

and over all the earth,

 and over every creeping thing 

that creepeth upon the earth.


Why so much gender confusion these days?

Why so many genders?

Life used to be so simple.

Who's creating all the chaos?

As born again, I turn to Scripture for answers

Never again should there be any question about GOD's creation.

The WORD of GOD settles all confusion.

Genesis 1:27

King James Version

27 So God created man in his own image, 

in the image of God created he him; 

male and female created he them.


Genesis 2:21-23

King James Version

21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep 

to fall upon Adam, 

and he slept: 

and he took one of his ribs, 

and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

22 And the rib, 

which the Lord God had taken from man, 

made he a woman, 

and brought her unto the man.

23 And Adam said, 

This is now bone of my bones, 

and flesh of my flesh: 

she shall be called Woman, 

because she was taken out of Man.


Genesis 5:2

King James Version

2 Male and female created he them; 

and blessed them, 

and called their name Adam, 

in the day when they were created.


Genesis 3:20

King James Version

20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; 

because she was the mother of all living.


GOD is really clear about His creation.

1 Corinthians 14:33

King James Version

33 For God is not the author of confusion, 

but of peace, 

as in all churches of the saints.


If you are confused about who, and what you are, it's time to turn to Scripture, and not to the world.

Proverbs 19:21

King James Version

21 There are many devices in a man's heart; 

nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, 

that shall stand.


Luke 16:15

King James Version

15 And he said unto them, 

Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; 

but God knoweth your hearts: 

for that which is highly esteemed among men 

is abomination in the sight of God.


1 Corinthians 6:9

King James Version

9 Know ye not that the unrighteous 

shall not inherit the kingdom of God? 

Be not deceived: 

neither fornicators, 

nor idolaters, 

nor adulterers, 

nor effeminate, 

nor abusers of themselves with mankind,


1 Corinthians 6:19-20

King James Version

19 What? 

know ye not that your body 

is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, 

which ye have of God, 

and ye are not your own?

20 For ye are bought with a price: 

therefore glorify God in your body, 

and in your spirit, 

which are God's.


Who creates confusion?

Ephesians 6:12

King James Version

12 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.


1 Peter 5:8

King James Version

8 Be sober, 

be vigilant; 

because your adversary the devil, 

as a roaring lion, 

walketh about, 

seeking whom he may devour:


Turn to GOD now.

Become born again.

LIVE by the Bible.

All confusion stops.

That is a certainty.

WHO to GIVE your HEART to

 

1 Samuel 16:7

King James Version

7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, 

Look not on his countenance, 

or on the height of his stature; 

because I have refused him: 

for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; 

for man looketh on the outward appearance, 

but the Lord looketh on the heart.


Are you giving your heart to the right person?

How do you know they are the right person?

How do you know you are?

Who's to help us figure it all out?

Can you trust your heart?

How trustworthy is your heart?

How trustworthy is the other person?

Love is given to family, friends, spouses, children, or someone you wish to share your life with.

Is there something missing from that equation?

Who did the world forget?

Or tried to scrap out?

The most important part of all, in fact.

The world does not want you to include GOD.

When He matters the most.


Blessed are those who grew up with Scripture.

For they were taught who to give their heart to.

Right from the start.

It can only be offered to JESUS.

Who loves you, enough to give up His life for you.

Colossians 1:14

King James Version

14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, 

even the forgiveness of sins:


Our first love should be our Creator.

To be grateful for our life, our family, our friends.

For everything we have.

That's another missing part of the equation.

We don't thank GOD enough.

But what about those who don't know GOD?

Or those who don't care to know Him?

Who's to tell them?

How are they to know GOD?

Share this post, and they'll know.

Let our hearts be in the right place.

Unless we seek the LORD FIRST, we can't get things right in this world.

JESUS taught us about LOVE.

Mark 12:29-31

King James Version

29 And Jesus answered him, 

The first of all the commandments is, 

Hear, O Israel; 

The Lord our God is one Lord:

30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God 

with all thy heart, 

and with all thy soul, 

and with all thy mind, 

and with all thy strength: 

this is the first commandment.

31 And the second is like, namely this, 

Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 

There is none other commandment greater than these.


JESUS added:

Matthew 22:40

King James Version

40 On these two commandments 

hang all the law and the prophets.


How can we not love GOD?

How can we not be grateful for everything?

Without JESUS, we could do nothing.

John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, 

ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, 

and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.


GOD desires we believe in His SON.

JESUS desires we love His FATHER.

GOD allowed His SON to die, that we may live.

John 3:16

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.


The HOLY SPIRIT, the THIRD person in the TRIUNE GOD, teaches any born again that.

We have much to learn about love.

How about we start with this foundation:

1 John 4:7-10

King James Version

7 Beloved, 

let us love one another: 

for love is of God; 

and every one that loveth is born of God, 

and knoweth God.

8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; 

for God is love.

9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, 

because that God sent his only begotten Son 

into the world, 

that we might live through him.

10 Herein is love, 

not that we loved God, 

but that he loved us, 

and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.


Giving your heart to JESUS doesn't mean you'll be a nun, or a priest.

Or that you'll never marry.

Giving your heart to the LORD means He will teach you HOW to love.

He'll lead you to the right person, for friendship, for marriage, for work.

Who greater teacher, than the LORD JESUS?

We're only able to love GOD, and others, because GOD loved us first.

1 John 4:19

King James Version

19 We love him, 

because he first loved us.


If you're reading this post, whether you're a kid, or an adult, please share this post.

I'd greatly appreciate it.

We could all use Scripture truth.

KEEPING you self-absorbed

 

Psalm 14:2

King James Version

2 The Lord looked down from heaven 

upon the children of men, 

to see if there were any that did understand, 

and seek God.


What seems to occupy us mostly, these days?

It's the universal gadget.

Everywhere you look, young or old, they've got phones.

People don't look at each other anymore.

They don't talk.

Families face their phones at the dining table.

They go to their rooms, to have more of the same.

They give it to their babies, to stop them from crying.

They even make animals watch.

They drive, they commute, they walk -- all heads bowed over their phones.

May we bow before GOD instead.


The enemy's really crafty.

He always knows how to go around God's commandments.

And if you do not know GOD's WORD, you'll be taken in.

The new idols are not graven images, of wood, stone, or metal.

They're our phones.

They're sports, fashion, and entertainment idols.

The so-called masters of finance.

The masters of cool.

But JESUS said, there is only ONE master:

Matthew 23:10

King James Version

10 Neither be ye called masters: 

for one is your Master, 

even Christ.


The deeper we go into technology, the more God is scrapped from our lives.

We think we're in touch, but we're not at all.

The more you seek the world, the more you forget God.

Wasn't that the enemy's strategy?

To make you so self-absorbed, so vain, so proud, so distracted, that you forget God?

Surely, you're aware of that.

Surely, you can feel some emptiness within.

For when you post your pictures, others will outdo you.

When you earn your first million, others have earned their second.

When you think you're pretty, there will always be someone prettier.

We're all seeking approval from the world.

We seek likes, and accolade.

How very neurotic of us.

In the meantime, God observes:

Romans 3:11

King James Version

11 There is none that understandeth, 

there is none that seeketh after God.


Romans 3:12

King James Version

12 They are all gone out of the way, 

they are together become unprofitable; 

there is none that doeth good, 

no, not one.


And JESUS wondered:

Luke 18:8

King James Version

8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. 

Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, 

shall he find faith on the earth?


Where are you in your walk with JESUS right now?

Are you with JESUS at all?

Your LIFE's got PURPOSE

 

Proverbs 16:9

King James Version

9 A man's heart deviseth his way: 

but the Lord directeth his steps.


Have you found your purpose?

Don't worry if you haven't.

Many adults are still finding theirs.

We're all on the same boat.

One way to look for it, is pretty simple.

Observe what you're good at.

What are your talents?

What's your character?

What makes you happy?

What do you love working on?

What do you love sharing with others?

What would you share, even if you don't get paid for it?

What grows strongly in your heart?

All these are wonderful.

But imagine if you had GOD's SPIRIT in you.

Boy, the stuff you can find out.

The way SPIRIT will power you.

The way to have GOD's SPIRIT in you, was spoken of by JESUS.

John 3:5-7

King James Version

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.


Being born again, and having GOD's SPIRIT in you, is the MOST BEAUTIFUL thing in the world.

No personal glory, or possessions, can compare.

Those are things of the world.

With SPIRIT, everything will be made clear to you.

Scripture will become easy to understand.

You will be able to piece your life together.

Things are going to make sense.

Only GOD can answer EVERYTHING you want to ask Him.

Try it sometime.

Pray to JESUS, with all heart, and sincerity.

Pour out your heart to Him.

He has no use for intellect.

He only cares to know what is in your heart.

Be childlike with Him.

JESUS loves that.

Ask Him about your purpose.

Why are you here on earth?

Why is your life the way it is?

What are you doing right?

What are you doing wrong?

What could you be doing better?

Have JESUS reveal to you what you're destined to be.

And if you're a person who loves paying attention to signs, symbols, dreams, prompts, wait till you are activated and anointed by the SPIRIT of GOD.

You will have complete confidence in all you do.

That cannot be said of the world.

The world always tries to give you pieces to the puzzle.

NEVER the WHOLE puzzle.

But GOD will show you what you're cut out for, if you believe in His SON, and if you live by His WORD.

GOD is generous.

It's time you walked.

In the direction of GOD.

Through JESUS.

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, 

the truth, 

and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.

BOY or GIRL?

 

Genesis 1:27

King James Version

27 So God created man in his own image, 

in the image of God created he him; 

male and female created he them.


"It's a boy!"

"It's a girl!"

Those are what we have come to know, the day we were born.

What caused the deviation?

Or, who did?

Who else causes confusion?

Who else causes man to sin?

Who else mocks God's creation?

Who else plants seeds of doubt in our minds?

1 Peter 5:8

King James Version

8 Be sober, 

be vigilant; 

because your adversary the devil, 

as a roaring lion, 

walketh about, 

seeking whom he may devour:


Where the enemy is, expect deception, distortion, deviation, and destruction.

He will fill us with perverse thoughts.

But GOD's creation was clear:

Genesis 5:2

King James Version

2 Male and female created he them; 

and blessed them

and called their name Adam, 

in the day when they were created.


JESUS was clear:

Matthew 19:4

King James Version

4 And he answered and said unto them, 

Have ye not read, 

that he which made them at the beginning 

made them male and female,


SCRIPTURE pointed out the perversion:

Romans 1:26-27

King James Version

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: 

for even their women did change the natural use 

into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, 

leaving the natural use of the woman, 

burned in their lust one toward another; 

men with men working that which is unseemly, 

and receiving in themselves 

that recompence of their error which was meet.


The fallen flesh is really an abomination to God.

Galatians 5:19-21

King James Version

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, 

which are these

Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, 

wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, 

and such like: 

of the which I tell you before, 

as I have also told you in time past,

 that they which do such things 

shall not inherit the kingdom of God.


Let us walk in the SPIRIT.

That we may be saved from further sin.

Galatians 5:16-17

King James Version

16 This I say then, 

Walk in the Spirit, 

and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, 

and the Spirit against the flesh: 

and these are contrary the one to the other: 

so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.


We are to hold our bodies sacred, for this reason:

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

King James Version

19 What? know ye not 

that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost 

which is in you, 

which ye have of God, 

and ye are not your own?

20 For ye are bought with a price: 

therefore glorify God in your body, 

and in your spirit, 

which are God's.


JESUS asked we be perfect.

Matthew 5:48

King James Version

48 Be ye therefore perfect, 

even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.


To the believing mind, you will want to be obedient to GOD.

To the unbelieving mind, you will find excuses not to obey.

There is such a thing as the WRATH of GOD.

Romans 1:18

King James Version

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven 

against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, 

who hold the truth in unrighteousness;


Would you be prepared for that?

Because YOU are the NEXT generation

 

Ecclesiastes 11:9

King James Version

9 Rejoice, 

O young man, 

in thy youth; 

and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, 

and walk in the ways of thine heart, 

and in the sight of thine eyes: 

but know thou, 

that for all these things God will bring thee 

into judgment.


SPIRIT and I created this blog to equip you.

For there is much pressure in the world.

To conform.

But not to be obedient to God's laws.

No wonder, young people are confused.

TRUTH is hidden from you.

Unless you are born again, taught by SPIRIT, you won't be equipped.

GOD has been taken out of the world system.

Everything was designed for the enemy.

And for unbelievers' destruction.

2 Corinthians 4:4

King James Version

4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded 

the minds of them which believe not, 

lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, 

who is the image of God, 

should shine unto them.


We are being prepped, and baked, for the deceiver.

We will all burn in the fires of hell, unless we got to know GOD's TRUTH, which can be summed up in these verses.

John 3:16

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.


John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, 

the truth, 

and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.


John 10:30

King James Version

30 I and my Father are one.


1 Corinthians 15:3-4

King James Version

3 For I delivered unto you first of all 

that which I also received, 

how that Christ died for our sins 

according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, 

and that he rose again the third day 

according to the scriptures:


John 1:12-13

King James Version

12 But as many as received him, 

to them gave he power to become the sons of God, 

even to them that believe on his name:

13 Which were born, 

not of blood, 

nor of the will of the flesh, 

nor of the will of man, 

but of God.


John 3:5-7

King James Version

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.


John 1:14

King James Version

14 And the Word was made flesh, 

and dwelt among us, 

(and we beheld his glory, 

the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) 

full of grace and truth.


John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, 

ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, 

and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.


John 11:25

King James Version

25 Jesus said unto her, 

I am the resurrection, 

and the life: 

he that believeth in me, 

though he were dead, 

yet shall he live:


Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.


The world will apply pressure, for you to conform.

GOD only wants that you confirm.

That you are HIS.
