Believe Jesus, less pain, no pain.
Preface: First of all no pain is only for our spirit, soul and the resurrected body in heaven!
As long as we live in this world. We will always have pain! So we must arm ourselves to suffer!
This is why my subject is believe Jesus, less pain, no pain!
Believe Jesus is one effective way to suffer less pain and enjoy more happiness!
Especially happiness that are there for us to take whenever we like it!
Jesus said: These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace.
Here are some of the teachings for us to suffer less pain and enjoy more happiness.
A. Do not worry about tomorrow!
1. Jesus said: Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matt.6:34
2. Don’t even ask why or how, just do what this scripture says!
3. Like how I discovered this-->
When I want to reduce my bad cholesterol level,
I can just eat red pomegranates consecutively for a month.
This will lower my cholesterol by at least 50.
4. It takes determination, planning and consistency to get what we hope for!
5. Our attitude is this: Let the sky fall down on me tomorrow, tonight I will get a good sleep!
B. Do not let other’s problem becomes our problem! James 1:27
1. James put it this way-->
Pure devotion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.2. Yes, it is our responsibility to help the fatherless and widows in their affliction!
3. In the process of helping, we must not create more problems.
4. Especially, not to let it become our problem!
C. Be not afraid to die the physical death!
I know this reduce must problems and much pain! Satan usually back off!
Yes, Satan is not ready to go to hell too!
That is why they don’t do their evil in front of police!
They always run, run and run away from those who can kill them!
1. Jesus said: Be not afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.
Rather be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell! Matt.10:28
2. Paul said: Phil.1:20-23-->
According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed,
but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body,
whether it be by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labor: yet what I shall choose I know not.
For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better.
D. Remember who, what and how others did to hurt you but not avenge yourself!
1. Avenge takes planning, time, energy and in the meantime you hurt yourself more!
2. Recognize this so you will suffer much less sleepless nights and pain in the soul!
Please remember, we do not believe Jesus for nothing! Apostle Peter said it for us! Matt.19:27-29
Peter answered him: We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?3. Jesus did not rebuke him! Jesus told him these will he get in return-->
a. Sits on one of the 12 thrones and judge the 12 tribes of Israel. (We may not care about this one!)
b. Everyone who has left houses, brothers, sisters, father, mother, children…
for my sake will receive a 100 times as much and will inherit eternal life.
4. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written:
"It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord… Ro.12:19-21
5. God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you. 2 Thes.1:6
Don’t be fooled by this saying, God wants us to forgive and forget! To forgive, yes. To forget? No.
God record everyone’s every single sin! Just read Rev.20:11-15
Just think how do we know King David committed those horrible sins!E. Really believe Jesus is Lord and Christ, our Savior!
This means really do what says in the New Testament Bible!
May the Lord bless you always! Preach this on November 10, 2013.
