Cut off your hand

Mark 9:43 (NLT)
If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It's better to enter eternal life with only one hand than to go into the unquenchable fires of hell with two hands.
cut off your hand if it causes you to sin! cut off your hand if it causes you to sin!
Calm down I do not mean you should literally do that. I’ll give you an example of what I mean by that. About 5 years ago I used to be addicted to pornography videos, it all started with just watching a movie on a website but the website had it all. it became too much that I knew it needed to stop, I needed to cut it off. It made me sin against God, I started seeing things differently and talked differently. I needed to cut off watching movies to stop watching porno cause that was the excuse I had. I would go the website to watch a movie and end up watching porn. I stop watching porn videos by deciding not to visit the website and stopped watching movies for a while with the help of the Holy Spirit.
You now understand what I mean to cut off your hand. Maybe yours might not be porno, it might be that friend that lures you into smoking weed or whatever, it might be lies, backbiting, adultery, fornication,lesbianism, cut it off. find the source of the problem and ask Jesus Christ to help cut it off but it takes your willingness to let it go, he can’t help you if you don’t want it. My prayer for you is that the Lord gives you the grace to cut that ungodly relationship.
God bless you and keep you.
Samuel David

Dangers of revealing and talking too much

To explain the dangers of revealing lets look at the story of Joseph in the Bible. Genesis 37: 5 Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers; and they hated him even more. Genesis 37:19-20 Then they said to one another, ‘look, this dreamer is coming! ‘come therefore, let us now kill him and cast him into some pit; and we shall say, ‘some wild beast has devoured him,. ’ we shall see what will become of his dreams!’   At the end of it Joseph was sold into slavery. Joseph became a slave because he revealed his dream; but who else would he reveal his dream to if not his family (ones he thought to be family) his brothers. From the story of Joseph you will understand that the fact someone is related to you does not mean the person has good intentions for you. So many people are dead today and some living in poverty because they revealed their dreams to someone close; you can call this evil doers today dream killers or enemies that are too close to identify.

False Identity - Wasteful End

A false identity is a fake identity. An individual with a false identity could be defined as someone acting or pretending to be someone else. A person pretending to be someone he is not, is a fraud. who is a pretender or someone with a false identity. Someone that pretends to be what a person desires to have. for example, A man or woman pretending to be calm and respectful just to get married. I have heard of a man that got married only to wake up the next day to discover he married a stranger. The lady he married had a different appearance; using all the make-up in this world to transform her look. A person I knew once told me his friend was angry because his wife deceived him that she was a virgin only to find out after the wedding day that she was not, as little as it does not matter to some people it does to this person in question; she presented a false identity and that was part of the reason he fell in love. There are also a lot of pretenders in the church today who claim to...

Shun Evil Friends

These evil friends are dangerous because they can lead a man to his down fall. In order to know what they are capable of, I like examples from the Bible lets look at the case of Amnon King David’s son. 2 Samuel 13: 1-39 (you can read the full text later). 2 Samuel 13: 3-5 But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother:and Jonadab was a very subtil man. And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king's son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister. And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick:and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand Basically you can see that Amnom loved Tamar his step-sister or at least he claimed he loved her and his friend Jonadab (the evil friend in this case) advis...
