About oneminuteministry

This blog will be a way for me to share where Christ is speaking to me, and how my relationship with Him is growing. My desire is to encourage you in your walk with Christ as the only Way. John 14:6 "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man comes to the father but through me."

Speak Up!

26 Mar

Speak Up!

Matthew 10:34-37     “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35 For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; 36 and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ 37 He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

Christ is in Jerusalem in his last days before his crucifixion. He has went into the temple and cleared it of all the evil that had called it a place of business instead of place of prayer. Matthew 21:12 Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’ “ He had began to teach and heal in the temple again. He was bringing new hope and challenging the way the people had been living. He was rocking their world right to the core of their faith; there must have been incredible emotion surrounding his ministry in those final days.

There were those that came to faith in Him during those days; and this surely resulted in conflict with those closest to them. They were at the height of the Jewish calendar, the Passover celebration. A pinnacle of religious ritual. All Jews came together to celebrate their delivery from slavery by God to their ancestors. Now they had God in their midst, yet so many still rejected Him. Christ had spoken these words in Matthew 10 to his disciples, telling them of the division and disappointment that would result in following Him. Christ was surely feeling this, knowing in these days Judas was preparing to betray him. There is a indescribable pain that is felt when those closest to us rest in their religion, or blatantly deny Christ. He spoke directly to the Pharisees regarding their denial; pointing to their failure in plain view of everyone. Matthew 21:42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. This was the Lord’s doing, And it is marvelous in our eyes’?

We may tend to shy away from sharing with those closest to us. Those in our family, our closest friends, or co-workers, those that may see the evidences, yet do not know the cause. We may tend to think we will loose that relationship; but are we placing that relationship above ours with Christ? Are we hiding our faith, or worse yet are we ashamed of it? In either of them we are denying our faith before God. Do not be ashamed of the hope that He has placed inside you. Do not be afraid of putting those relationships on the line for Him. What if that person stood at the gates of hell crying out wondering why you never warned them; why you never shared what made you different. Matthew 10:32 “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven”. Invite someone close to you to church this week. Better yet, share with them the hope that lies within you, and then invite them to experience it themselves.

Holy Week

25 Mar

Holy Week

Matthew 21:1-5    Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me. 3 And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of them,’ and immediately he will send them.” 4 All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: 5 “Tell the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your King is coming to you, Lowly, and sitting on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.’ “

My heart is exceedingly heavy this week. My heart begs for you to grasp the weight of what this holy week represents. We have become so tied up in Spring Breaks, vacations, basketball, and countless other distractions, we miss the gravity of this week that represents all that we claim in Christianity; Satan smiles for he knows our eyes are not on Christ. All of Israel used to stop what they were doing for this week of the Passover celebration; the celebration of God delivering them out of slavery. This passover week has become our celebration of our delivery from the punishment of sin for eternity, yet it seemingly passes into commercialism and we move on with our plans. We have lost all respect for the week that represents more than Christmas; this is the week we celebrate Christ’s death and resurrection; the reason He came to earth as a man on Christmas morning; the fulfilling of His purpose to justify you before God.

Christ rode into Jerusalem on a colt to fulfill the prophecies of Isaiah and Zechariah. These prophecies were known to the Jews, and therefore it was recognized that he was their Messiah riding into their town. Everything Christ did was to fulfill prophecy throughout the Bible, and all that he has spoken regarding prophecy to come will be fulfilled also. Christ points to His omniscience in knowing where the colt was, and the reply of its owner. He cares for the beasts just as he cares for you. Matthew10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. Christ was riding into Jerusalem in triumph, for he knew his fathers will for him to overcome Satan’s power of sin for eternity. This is his only triumphal entry in his life, and it is when he is preparing for his death.

An eternal king rode into an earthly kingdom, to present a holy sacrifice to pay for sin for those that hated him. He would allow himself to be mocked, beaten, spat upon, and sacrificed by those he loved so much to die for. He was their creator, sustainer, and justifier all in one person. He was fully God and fully man, and He now has arisen and sits at the right hand of God on the throne. He came, He died, He arose, He ascended, He is coming back. This week should stir your soul; it should move you to a thanksgiving and a repentant heart, a heart that grasps the understanding of this week 2000 years ago. Matthew 3:1 In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, 2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!”

Take a deep breath and read

24 Mar

Take a deep breath and read

James 1:18-21      Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures. 19 So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; 20 for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. 21 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

In this epistle James begins with writing about the trials of life. We all have them, we all endure them, we all go somewhere to deal with them. Do you self-medicate with any type of substance such as alcohol or drugs? Do you just become angry and lash out constantly when you are under the pressure of a trial? Do you simply just retreat into depression and hide from the world? There are so many ways that we find ourselves coping when life gets hard. God allows these things to draw us closer to Him, and at some point in your life when you come to realize that, you will also find you are the closest to God when you are under these great strains in life. You will even likely at some point cherish the strain for the intimacy it brings with God.

James is a great place to spend in God’s Word when you are facing these troubles. As he spoke of these trials, he transitions into how to prepare ourselves in hearing from God in them. When we go to God’s Word, are we already mad at God; are we angry and have our defenses up? Have we come at God with the “how, or why, or anger” in our souls? James tells us to come to Him in meekness, with a humble heart, with a mind that desires to listen, not to debate. With that spirit we can come to see the greatness of God’s grace in His Word, and even the situation. It may also be a time that we see the discipline of God in these trials, but we must be prepared and accept that possibility.

Matthew Henry points to all that we hear in God’s Word is to the working of the gospel within us, as to the salvation of our souls. Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. The word of God has a central message; to point you to Him. It points to the grace of God found throughout it; it points to the provision through His Son Jesus Christ in it; it points to His Sovereignty throughout it. All through it He seeks to make you more like Christ; to live a life as a disciple of Christ, and to enable you to therefore reach others for Christ. In this book is found the love of Christ, and the keys to you living a life for Him. The more time you spend in God’s Word every single day, the better prepared you are when the trials of life come. Your spirit is already humbled from what He has shown you, and you understand this trial you are facing is another revelation you are about to receive.

Just listen

23 Mar

Just listen

Jude 1:16-19     These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage. 17 But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: 18 how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. 19 These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.

How good of a listener are you? This calls for a deep self reflection, and maybe an honest evaluation from someone close to you who will tell you the truth. When I look back on my life, I see how awful a listener I was. I thought I knew what someone was going to say, so I finished their sentences for them. My attention span was so short I would only gather a highlight of what they were speaking to me. In my pride I most likely missed many important lessons in life in my inability to listen. I thank Christ for changing and still sanctifying that personality trait in me. Through Him I have become a better listener, and realize what I have to say is not as important as what I am receiving.

Jude is speaking to the false teachers of the day; to those that are tickling the ears of the hearers, and perverting Christianity. All their glorious words seem to draw the attention to themselves. They stand in their own glory,, and not the glory of Christ. They will seemingly point to all that Christ has given to them, and seemingly hidden they elevate themselves. Many a preacher stands in the pulpit of pride today, and their hearts will have to answer to Christ in their motives. They twist the Word of God into their own motives, and here Jude points out their eternal destinies without the Holy Spirit living inside them. 19 These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit. There are those that struggle with pride, and their are those that truly preach from pride and further themselves from the humble servant heart of a disciple.

The better listener you become, the more discernment you will gain. If you will simply listen to what the person has to say, their hearts will be revealed. Someone whom you may have elevated may reveal they are truly only elevating themselves. When this truth is revealed as a good listener, you must with God’s help evaluate what they have been teaching. I have been continually disappointed in Godly men, and their pride in their ministries. But that is also where we come to understand man will always disappoint; that is why we focus on Christ who will not. The more time you spend alone with God the better you will understand the Word of God and begin to be able to discern those teachers. 20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

Edjumikashun

Proverbs 2:1-5     My son, if you receive my words, And treasure my commands within you, 2 So that you incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding; 3 Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding, 4 If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures; 5 Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, And find the knowledge of God.

It is pretty much a standard of living that you will spend at least 12 years of your life in school. Therefore you will spend the first 18-20 years of your life seeking the minimum education required to “do life”. I stopped there with my diploma many years ago, only seeking the bare minimums to collect it and move on. I did not see the value in a further education, and I have paid for the mistakes of my youth. An education is a tool upon which the mind has doors opened to further the capabilities of it, and all those affected by it. This understanding has come from a lifetime of realizing mostly by error, the mistakes of things lost without knowledge found in that education.

Have you come to know Christ and desire to know more of Him? Have you answered that call He placed upon your soul in an act you still struggle to explain? So many times we come to know Christ, and feel that tug of desire to know what is next. We have felt that change that He brings, but we sometimes wonder how we are to get more understanding Him. It is all found in the heart that pursues him in prayer and his Word. The key to unlock to mysteries of God are found in the pages of God; through the power of the Holy Spirit he has given you. 1 Corinthians 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. 13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

A high school diploma will get you just over 86,000 hours of education in that 12 years. You will have invested a good percentage of your early life in the pursuit of knowledge, and the hope and understanding of how it may be applied in your life. In Christ you have opened the door to eternity and all the endless possibilities that lie in it. For the remainder of your life here, the wisdom of God is given in the guidebook of life, the Bible. A heat that is genuinely seeking God every day will live a life in the rewards of the wisdom He reveals through His Word. Proverbs 2:10 When wisdom enters your heart, And knowledge is pleasant to your soul, 11 Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you. Spend the rest of your life in the pursuit of a heavenly wisdom and understanding of God and the things of God found in His Word every day. The rewards for your time here are greater than any diploma recognized by man.

Annual Performance Review

21 Mar

Annual Performance Review

Proverbs 16:11 Honest weights and scales are the Lord’s; All the weights in the bag are His work.

Good advice is something we all treasure. Wouldn’t a book of advice from the wisest man who ever lived be a best seller? King Solomon prayed to God for the wisdom to do a good job for God; he wanted to be the best ruler he could be. 2 Chronicles 1:10 Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this great people of Yours?” 11 And God said to Solomon: “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches or wealth or honor or the life of your enemies, nor have you asked long life–but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge My people over whom I have made you king. God granted his request and made Solomon the wisest man that ever lived. Solomon filled the book of Proverbs with very simple direct words of advice from what he learned as a man of God.

As a sidebar of my business, I deal in the scrap metal industry. I am at the mercy of their scales, and the integrity of their hearts. A dealer may present a much higher payout as a lure, but the scales upon which they are weighed are dishonest. Proverbs 11:1 Dishonest scales are an abomination to the Lord, But a just weight is His delight. The Lord knows the weights upon which the scales are measured, just as he knows the scales of our hearts. Integrity in business is becoming a thing of the past. Integrity is not a quality that you possess outside of the business world, and then let it slide to make the deal at whatever the cost. You either have integrity or you do not. Integrity is not a variable; it is not an option that you choose when it best suits your purpose. If you believe that it is, you are weighing your life and your heart on dishonest scales.

Have you ever stood your ground at work for something you believed in? Have you ever not participated in the deal that was shady to say the least? Have you stood up for what you knew was right before God, even though that decision cost you a payout? That payout will be rewarded in eternity on the Lord’s scales. He does not forget when you paid even a small price for standing up for what you knew was right in His eyes. Proverbs 16:2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the spirits. The closer your heart is to God, the easier a life of integrity comes. You will be seeking God on all these decisions in prayer and His Word. He will direct your thoughts as a result of this time invested in seeking His wisdom. Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. The Lord is the CEO that you answer to above any manager here on earth; He is the one who knows all that goes on, and why it goes on. He is the one you must answer to on a daily basis for your actions at work, and in life.

It should hurt

20 Mar

It should hurt

1 John 4:4-6     You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. 6 We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

John is really trying to help his readers to be able to discern the differences in the truth and the false teachings that had infected early Christianity. Just as today there were teachers who picked apart the Word of God; they selected only the parts that appealed, and twisted their ideals into their own religion. They truths became so twisted you could not determine where one started and ended. This problem still is prevalent today in so many ministries and pulpits. They bring just enough of Christ to tickle your ears, then their paths become soft, and their doctrines have no spine. They only preach heaven, but never preach hell. The realization of one’s soul that is lost in sin, and the damnation of it without Christ, draws that soul to a much deeper appreciation and servant heart and life of a disciple as we are called to be as a result of His sacrifice.

John continually points to Christ’s Holy Spirit that lives inside each believer, and the discernment that comes with His presence there. The “we” in this epistle is referring to the apostles, and the sound doctrines of Christ. The “they” in this epistle is referring to the false teachers of that day, and their twists on Christianity rooted in their own sin. They are of this world, and their views derived from it. People who listen to them are lost in that same self centered, worldly, materialistic viewpoints from which it was bred. 1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. It would be very easy to take all the positives of Christianity and twist it to fit ones own ideals; it would roll into the benefits of self, and not the convictions of sin.

Do you listen only to the soft preaching? Do you only want to hear what makes you feel good because you have enough bad to deal with in your life? That is understandable only to a point. There is eternal salvation and paradise found in Jesus Christ alone; hope for an eternity with Him and the unimaginable pleasures of heaven with Him. But their is also a call to the conviction, repentance of sin, and a life focused on serving Him for our short time here. We are not called to a life of ease here; we are called to become a slave to Him who died for us and to seek to spread the hope that lies within us. Romans 8:16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs–heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. 18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Find a pastor that preaches the whole truth from the Word of God, and let His Spirit inside you work out those convictions of sin, to let Him mold you into the image of His Son.

Absolute Truth

19 Mar

Absolute Truth

Romans 1:19-22    because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,

My heart hurts for the nation I live in. We are consistently turning our backs on God. We are headed down the road of moral decline wrapped up in the ideals of we know what is best for ourselves and others. We are legalizing everything that appeals to one, under the guise that it will offend another. We are living in a day of rapidly descending morals & integrity at an alarming rate. All has been lost in what our nation was founded on; “One nation under God”. The moral decay has infected our rulers, our leaders, our schools, our churches, and therefore has infected our families with incredible divorce rates and damaged our children at early ages. My nation is headed down the road to total destruction as a result of turning our backs on God and the absolute moral truths we have been given.

I researched Absolute Truth. We see the evidences of God all around us in creation every day. Satan has planted the idea of evolution into society, trying to weaken the proof of God before us. Inside us as the pinnacle of Gods creation lies a conscious; an inner proof of Him that we must willingly decide to rebel against these evidences. Romans 2:14 for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, 15 who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them. Do you realize that tug of sin that you deny you feel so you can experience the pleasure of that sin is denying God? I lived my life in that denial for most of my life; I know you have to feel it.

Our leaders are being forced by deny Christ by these self appointed unions. Being told they may pray to a God, but not to their God Jesus Christ. They are being told that it offends, therefore if it does it must stopped. There is no such thing as truth that they must answer for and to. I pray these leaders stand their ground for Christ, that they do not deny Christ, that they sacrifice for Christ. Would you? Would you stand your ground at all cost if you were to claim Jesus’ name, or to deny Him and get a free pass? That day is happening in the world right now in religious persecution that involves imprisonment and even death. When some come to know Jesus they are ostracized from their family and live their lives in fear. Would you? You are only here for a short time; the immeasurable time is spent where the evidence of your lives were spent here; hell, or paradise. Would you take a stand for Jesus?

NOTW – Not of this World

18 Mar

NOTW – Not of this World

1 John 1:1-4    That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life– 2 the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us– 3 that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. 4 And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.

As I read the epistle of 1 John this morning, you can’t help but feel the spine of his writing in love as you do in the gospel of John also. In the gospel of John he speaks much of Christ’s deity; of how Christ is God. Here in this epistle he is re-intreating that fact to refute all of the false teachings that had arisen. John is one whom spent three and a half years of his life with Christ; he is an eyewitness to all of these accounts. He can attest to all the miracles, death, resurrection and ascension of Him. He was simply putting his foot down and saying “No, that is not true. I was there!” There were many “isms” that had began to divide the church; many false teachings that divided God, and even divided Christ; Gnosticism was a leading heresy.

This epistle points to the love that must abide in us as a believer. This love that covers a multitude of our own sins, must also overlook the sins of others against us. It speaks of how we cannot hold something against one another and truly worship our King. 1 John 4:8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. This world preaches self; Christ preaches sacrifice. We cannot have a heart for God and have hate in our heart. This world will give us many opportunities to hold grudges or hatred for those who have wronged us. We either fall into Satan’s trap in them, or we rise above them in showing compassion and the forgiveness as we have been forgiven. John points out the sacrifice of Christ, and with it the level of love that God has shown us. 1 John 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

John points out that as Christians we will be different; we will be hated by those that love the world. 1 John 3:13 Do not marvel, my brethren if the world hates you. Those that love the world, and live their lives in pursuit of the rewards of it, will not understand what you possess eternally that goes against their selfish pursuits. The evidences are all around us today of a world captured int the damnation of selfishness; of no absolute truth, and the moral decline as a result of that belief. If you present yourself as one who loves all as Christ loved us first, and hold to the moral standards and truths He has given us, you will be hated by the world that lives by the adaptable truths that fit their self seeking motives. 1 John 4:4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

Dig deep & remember

17 Mar

Dig deep & remember

Mark 8:18 Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?

A great multitude had been following Christ listening to his preaching. They had seemingly came unprepared and were without food, again. Only a short time ago Christ had miraculously provided the meal for the five thousand, blessing the boys bread and fish that the baskets never ran out in serving. Christ again had compassion on the needs of this crowd, and to the disciples disbelief he performed the same miracle again to four thousand, from only seven loaves of bread and a few fish. When he left the crowd then he was approached by the Pharisees again demanding a sign; they were never satisfied. Christ warned the disciples to not be like them; to not demand a sign or rely on the miracles; believe on what you have already heard & seen.

It has been a time of reflection this week for me again in preparation of my testimony today. This reflection brings both pain and joy. I look back at how much of my life I wasted in outright rebellion against God. I look back at the great sins I committed; the damages I did to myself, those around me, and all of them committed against my God. These reflections should bring about the pain, and the pain is a good thing for it humbles us in the understanding of the grace of God. How hard it is for us to forgive others once, yet how many countless times has He forgiven us in the past, present, and future? This understanding of our lostness in sin brings a greater understanding of His sacrifice. Matthew 18:11 For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.

When the Lord is speaking in the book of Revelation to the church at Sardis, that church is known as the dead church. Only a few have kept the faith; the others remain idle or content in their religion. They appeared to be holy, but yet they were dead on the inside; they were playing the part of a Christian, but inside they were dead. That happens to so many of us who come to rest in our religion; Christ condemns it. Revelation 3:3 Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. He warns them to remember what they have heard and experienced in their lives as a child of His. A time of reflection should bring about a humble heart in the realization of how lost we are in our sin. This should tug our hearts to a renewed thanksgiving and attitude of service to the One who delivered us from sin. Dig deep, and remember where you were before He pursued you. He picked you up out of the pit of Hell, forgave you eternally, and presented you to his Father. Thank you Jesus!
