Going to work harder to not make no more provisions for the flesh..............

Update 3/17/2022 (in 2013 when this blog post was created I was trying to kiss up to the apostolic christian church of america - it didn't work I was miserably unpopular at that church). These days I believe the narrow way, while it does involve suffering in the flesh. There is a thing as "overkill" ------------ If you are miserable following Jesus your pry going "to far" 

the joy of the lord is our strength well we are supposed to have "joy of the lord" because it's supposed to be ENJOYABLE to follow Jesus! And it is - if you don't go "to far" 

Nehemiah 8:10 "Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength." It's when you get miserable following Jesus if that were to happen, or maybe miserable of hearing sermons????????? IF/WHEN your joy of the Lord drops, if it were to drop (for instance if you are suffering to much to kiss up to the apostolic christian church of america some people kiss up to them successfully) then you might "fall away"???????? Maybe for awhile from the faith fall away or something???????????????

Going to work harder to not make no more provisions for the flesh..............sometimes I'll alot 1 or two things for myself aka "provisions for the flesh" IT'S A TERRIBLE THING I NEED TO STOP DOING AND WANT TO STOP DOING Romans 13:14 "But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof." recently I bought a little silver bracelet w/a silver heart charm attached...................to remind myself to love people............I really need to quit buying jewelry for like good. Tonight I listened to this sermon pretty 100% this one

05/15/13 Bluffton Country Wednesday Bro.Ryan Bertsch http://www.acsermonstreamer.com/

 I never really put that much thought into the whole idea of "lasciviousness" before which I take to mean walking lot's in the lusts of the flesh http://www.thefreedictionary.com/lasciviousness.................Jude 1:4 "For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ."
also these verses...........2 Peter 2:18-20 "For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning."

  Before I heard that sermon tonight I was thinking about buying a wig, I rethought that there idea.......................I though think there are things we can buy while following jesus but surely I don't want to be in some "free for all" some "lasciviousness" um athon................the world not being friends with it, if your not going to be friends with it, or you don't want to be friends with it.................................I think the world is about the lusts of the flesh...............1 John 2:16 "For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world." I have a horrible time not letting myself be influenced by the world............I like nice things...................but at the same time I do absolutely not want to be a friend with the world IT IS BETTER I PARTAKE IN THE SUFFERINGS OF CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT WALK LIKE THIS WORLD NOT WALK IN LASCIVIOUSNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

In the year 2022 when I updated this blog post 

Russia is bombing Ukraine...............

2 Corinthians 6:17 "Wherefor come out from among them, and be ye separate............".............

Small 10/31/2021 update video...................

don't walk like a egyptian horrible idea that is

don't be friends with this world it's enemity with god for sure walk like jesus

pps..........note to those that might think ahhhhhh I can wear some eyeliner and not be a friend with the world NOTE the egyptian womens were big on eyeliner FLEE EYELINER!!!!!!!!!! (that's my advice)

for womens ya buns in hair they are great : ) ---- this is sheri 2021, sheri 2013 was a closet goth, trying to make a lot of apostolic christian church of america members happy - my efforts did not work. Sheri 2021 advice don't judge........don't judge nobody let god judge. Cause it don't matter how a person looks like on the outside I've came to find out, it's their heart, do they love god????????? Do they love people?????????????????

2 Corinthians 6:17 "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you." This verse doesn't say "go ahead be a friend with the world, go buy all the cute shoes and purses you want" NO.
   I've battled, greately, the idea of "working iniquity" via makeup, and my hair -------------- what a few months ago I went to my youngest daughters school had my hair all done up bit more makeup then usual on that day I looked at the women sitting across from me and they were sad cause they had no way to get the kind of look I was having at that moment......................I'd say there was inquity there................those women had 0 way and they were sad about it to become = to me --------- at that moment. But if I wear my hair in a bun and minimal makeup................I find the playing field is more equal. Less iniquity being worked I think.................and the bible says 2 Corinthians 6:17 "WHEREFORE COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM"
Verse 5 here stands out to me where it says "god hath remembered her iniquities" I believe it, I believe you can work iniquity in dressing in the designer clothes and having your nails done up and etc. etc. real iniquity even if you weren't that good looking, I think any us can work iniquity if we tried!!!!!!!!!!!!! Revelation 18:3-5 "For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities." I do not know what "her sins" are?????????? "her plagues" might be drugs????????
   Back to 2 corinthians 6:17 stands out to me tonight that that verse says to "come out from among them, and be ye separate" and then god will "receive you" Sheri 2021 interjecting, you can be "separate" via how you live, it isn't so much a "looks thing". Friendship with the world I think is enmity with god, it's a thing that brings a person farther away from god.................James 4:4 "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that thefriendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God."
  I find it to be a battle to not be a friend with the world..........real price paid if I choose to be a friend with the world even for a bit..............I am not really in the place where I can afford to be a enemy with god at all. It's hard for me to get it through my thick brains - hey myself your not of this world stop trying to be a part of something you ain't of anyways.
   Everyone wants acceptance in this world...................god's acceptance is definately that acceptance I want to work harder to be getting. And it's solid, it's a good plan. Proverbs 16:7 "When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him." (if your of the world for reals, you could like full blown have enemies all having at it full blown war with you I recogn - YIKES...................man I have enough on my plate w/having to keep my house clean for reals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! laundry need I say more LAUNDRY hahahahahahahhaha serious though)
 Psalm 130:3-5 "If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope."

Proverbs 28:27 "He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse."
