Let's talk about complaining . Does God listen to us when we complain and tell Him of all of the things we do not like ? God will not regard or listen to one who is proud , arrogant or thinking that they can justify themselves in their complaints . We literally have nothing to complain about . God is fully sovereign, and we are not.

Lets talk about breath, life and speech . God spoke you into existence . His very breath (ruach) has made you. God does not speak vanity or nonsense into existence (Isaiah 55:11) . God does not make junk . He spoke you into this world for His own purpose and reasons that He alone knows . What God speaks into existence does not come back to Him void .

Let's talk about confession . Confession is not something done between a pope and a sinner. It is not a Catholic thing, sadly, as they continue to teach today. Admitting your sins to God is merely agreeing with Him that you have fallen short of His glory , screwed up and have rebelled against Him. Being honest about your sins with God, and even with trusted brothers and sisters in Christ, is one way to grow up in your faith , and receive encouragement and accountability to

Let's talk about the 'core' being . Who are you in Christ Jesus? Looking into a mirror does not reveal who you are , but, looking at your actions, your motives, your desires and seeing what and who you are influenced by , truly does show the type of person you are, or are being conformed into. Reflecting the character of Christ Jesus is no easy task , but, it can be accomplished by humbling yourself to the Lord God, trusting in His will , and seeking to know Him and live f

Let's talk about faith . We have defined faith today as some mystical and religious thing, while it is so much more than we can imagine. Faith requires ignoring what others proclaim, believe or know to be true (2nd Corinthians 11:3/4) , and leaning upon what God has shown us as true according to His Word (John 14:26, John 16:13) . Faith is a growing and living substance that is cultured and grown up through the Holy Spirit and by the work of Christ Jesus alone.

Let's talk about suffering for good . It is a good, noble and Christlike quality to suffer for doing good for the Kingdom and glory of God. Many professing Christians will be unwilling to suffer in the end (Matthew 24:9/14) because they will be expecting a pre-trib rapture , instead of enduring to the end as Christ commanded to all of the churches in Revelation 2-3 (Daniel 7:21/22) . To lay down your life for Christ Jesus (literally) is a strong sign of your faithfulnes

Let's talk about straying and returning . You can never truly 'turn' from the Lord Jesus, because those who say that they are 'stepping down' from the faith, never knew Jesus to begin with (Hebrews 10:38) . We can 'wander' at times and seasons of unrepentant sin, yes, but, we are always to humble ourselves and be as the prodigal son who returns to the loving and forgiving Father who will redeem us once again . Every Christian wanders at some point . Some wander after fal

Let's talk about the end of days . Being prepared for the last days is not about stocking up on food, supplies, ammo, etc. It is about being ready for the return of Jesus , and enduring to the end . The end will require a Christian to endure the most difficult challenges that they will ever face (Daniel 7:21/22, Matthew 24:9/14, 2nd Timothy 3:12, Revelation 6:9/11, Revelation 12:11, Revelation 13:10, Revelation 14:13) . Losing sight of Jesus in the last days will become a

Let's talk about speaking the right thing at the right time . Speaking the right thing at the right time is not always easy, for we can tend to say the right thing at the wrong time when the person is desiring the wrong answer that they 'want' to hear, VS the answer that they NEED to hear. Only God can give the right answer , and sometimes He gives that answer through us in certain circumstances. Always seek to help somebody find the answers to our most difficult probl

Let's talk about giving the right answer . Choosing the right answer is not always easy , because most of the time we desire to answer with emotions , ego and our own understanding . Choosing the right answer requires listening to the Holy Spirit , going by what the scriptures say (John 14:26, John 16:13) , and using those as your basis for the answer given. Always let your answers be rooted in the truth of God's Word , His enduring love, His perfect wisdom and giving clari

Let's talk about submitting to God . Submitting to God requires a surrender of self . Submitting to God requires a death to self and all that you hope to be . Submitting to God requires that you stop lying to yourself , stop living a lie and start listening to what God has to say through His Word, and not how others portray His Word through their own understanding (do not even take my word for it... simply study the scriptures on your own [John 14:26, John 16:13]) .

Let's talk about good wisdom VS bad . Good wisdom from God produces change , good works and an overall change in character. Bad wisdom produces ignorance of true wisdom and understanding. Bad wisdom produces a strong delusion . Bad wisdom produces people who die from lack of wisdom from God .

Let's talk about grace . God resists the proud, the arrogant fool who thinks that he knows everything. God gives grace to the humble fool who now realizes that he knows nothing , and that God knows everything . God gives grace to those who are still , and know that He is God. God will not acknowledge the one who acts as if they themselves are 'god' .

Let's talk about wisdom . Wisdom is only good if it is applied properly . Wisdom of the world means nothing unless you see it for what it is... vanity and delusion . The wisdom of God is obtained in knowing Christ Jesus , Him crucified, risen and returning, trusting in the Word of God according to His understanding , and applying the scriptures to your life according to the guidance of the Holy Spirit .

Let's talk about God's plan VS my plan . You do not know more than God. You do not have 'better plans' than God. God has a GRAND DESIGN for your life, and every life. The GRAND DESIGN that God has for your life is not everything going 'perfectly' . It is all things in your life being used for His glory and His being in control of all of us, whether you believe in, see it, or not. Gods plan will succeed from beginning to end .

Let's talk about contentment . Are you satisfied with what God has blessed you with? Why do you 'think' that you 'need' that thing or desire ? God blesses us with what He wants us to be good stewards over. When we fail in this, it is because we desire to have more , or to conform it to our own understanding . Being greedy is a sin , and it shows that we do not trust God, nor are we thankful for what He HAS blessed us with.

Let's talk about unexpected kindness . Not every 'guest' that we are kind to, is a mere person in need. Nevertheless, we should be kind in Christ at all times to all people. God is a Good Host. We should seek to be a good host as well in all things that He has given to us.

Let's talk about Holy Fire . God is the Great Refiner who refines each of us into perfect vessels to be used for His glory. God consumes the wretched, depraved and miserable worthlessness that the world and satan has conformed us into. The consuming fire of God cannot be resisted .

Let's talk about correction , or, the discipline of the Lord . God disciplines us as a Good Father should. Correction is a sign of the love that God has for us , for He does not take some sick pleasure in seeing us destroy ourselves. Anybody who teaches you that 'God would never do this because He loves us' is lying to you, and honestly, may not know the Lord Jesus at all.

Let's talk about enduring faith . Does your faith endure the hardest of trials , or only every day things? Does your faith endure through things you thought were impossible ? Does your faith grow while it endures? Is your faith founded in Christ, or in the many doctrines and teachings of others? Is your faith blessed in trials, or do you complain ?

Let's talk about genuine faith . Is your faith only a Sunday thing , or a daily practice ? Is your faith being built up , or is it being torn down by other teachers that you listen to? What happens to you when your faith is tested ? How do you react ? Is your faith based on your own idea of it, or through the scriptures and how the Holy Spirit leads you to understand ? Is your faith shared with others, or kept hidden ?

Let's talk about tribulations . Why do Christians go through tests and trials ? How do we respond to trials and tribulations? How have you grown through trials and tribulations? Have you ever been hardened in your heart through trials and tribulations? What are the best things God has taught you through each test and trial?

Let's talk about genuine love . Genuine love preaches the truth with action . Genuine love actually cares about people in telling them the truth , showing them respect and pulling them out of hellfire . Genuine love does not act arrogant with the truth , but uses the truth as it was created... to get people to wake up and use the sound mind that God has given to them, and to repent . Genuine love can only come from Christ Jesus . It can never come from the world . We can o

Let's talk about PROUD and ARROGANT Christians VS Humble and FAITHFUL Christians . Proud and arrogant Christians push people away from Jesus . Using the truth respectfully and preaching it HONESTLY is what God desires. Authentic followers of Jesus show love for their fellow man by living the truth , unfiltered, BUT , also in a way that they can embrace it fully, see their sin as God sees it, and turn from it to become as Christ has shown us. Humble and faithful is NOT
