1 Corinthians 3:5-9 [ESV] What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the LORD assigned to each. 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but GOD gave the growth. 7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only GOD WHO gives the growth. 8 He who plants & he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor. [Matthew 20:8/John 15]

9 For we are GOD's fellow workers. You are GOD's field, GOD's building.

RE: Personal Tanya Day 21: Purposeful Living (CH 10.2) | Dovid Vigler January 12, 2025 | Sabbath, 12 Tevet 5785 | Tzaddik/Righteous

as it is written: “Ho, exclaims the prophet, all who are thirsty for godliness should go to the waters of Torah,” [Isaiah 55:1] i.e., let them engage in Torah, which is likened to water, as is explained elsewhere, that the “thirsty ones” of this verse refer to those who thirst for godliness.

"Like a well-watered tree" is a metaphor that appears in the Bible in Psalm 1:3, Isaiah 58, and Jeremiah 17:7-8

Psalm 1:3 [Berean] But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does. 4Not so the wicked! For they are like chaff driven off by the wind. Colossians 1:10 so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the LORD [YHWH] & may please HIM in every way: Bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of GOD, He is like a tree planted by streams of water This imagery of a tree planted by streams of water suggests stability, nourishment, and vitality. In biblical times, water was a precious resource, especially in the arid regions of the Middle East. A tree planted by water signifies a life that is constantly nourished and sustained. This can be seen as a metaphor for a person who is rooted in GOD's Word, drawing spiritual sustenance from it. The idea of being "planted" indicates intentionality & purpose, suggesting the righteous person is deliberately positioned to receive divine nourishment. This imagery is echoed in Jeremiah 17:7-8, where the person who trusts in the LORD is compared to a tree by the water, emphasizing trust & reliance on GOD. yielding its fruit in season The phrase "yielding its fruit in season" highlights the natural and timely productivity of a life aligned with GOD's will. Just as a tree bears fruit at the appropriate time, so does a righteous person produce good works & spiritual fruit at the right moments. This concept is reinforced in Galatians 5:22-23, where the "fruit of the Spirit" is described, indicating the qualities that should be evident in a believer's life. The idea of "in season" suggests there is a divine timing for everything, as seen in Ecclesiastes 3:1, where there is a time for every purpose under Heaven. Isaiah 58:10-12 [Berean] and if you give yourself to the hungry & satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will go forth in the darkness, and your night will be like noonday. 11 The LORD will always guide you; HE will satisfy you in a sun-scorched land and strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. 12 Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins; you will restore the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of the Streets of Dwelling. Jeremiah 17:7-8 [Berean] But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in HIM. 8 He is like a tree planted by the waters that sends out its roots toward the stream. It does not fear when the heat comes, and its leaves are always green. It does not worry in a year of drought, nor does it cease to produce fruit.

Masculine Waters: Mahd

These [“masculine waters”] are the “waters” of kindness that flow into & are contained in each of the 248 positive mitzvot, which are all in the nature of “kindness,” or benevolence, and “masculine waters.”

This term “masculine waters” as applied to mitzvot means the mitzvot draw GOD’s holiness from above, i.e., from the higher realms downward, so [GOD’s holiness] be clothed in & revealed within the lowest realms, i.e., our physical world, as explained elsewhere.) Thus, the two interpretations of the term “men of ascent” are complementary.

"Why can't I?" is the wrong question

“Why can’t I?” is the wrong question, sisters. As Christian women, it’s important that we ask the correct theological questions. Sadly, many of us don’t. Too many women define their Christianity by the culture rather than the fullness of Scripture. But to do so makes us become unfruitful because we have become unfaithful. Elisabeth Elliot once said that the fact that she was a woman didn’t make…

Nehemiah 8:10 - 12

No matter how bad this life is, we have Eternal Life because of the Resurrection.

vs 17 Our faith is futile if the Resurrection didn't take place. It would be meaningless and fruitless.

But Christ has Risen! That is a most precious thing. It is a life giving and life changing faith.

If He wasn't raised, we're still in our sins.

Sin is real and can't be denied.

Christ has been raised. Therefore sin has been dealt with.

vs 18 If He hadn't been raised, there is no hope. If He has been Raised, those who have fallen asleep in Christ are Saved.

vs 19 If He has been Raised we have an obligation to spread the Gospel.

Mormon thoughts on circumcision?

Many Latter-day Saints are circumcised because it is a social norm in the United States, but it is not medically necessary or even recommended, it is merely a social tradition.

The Book of Mormon specifically states that the law of circumcision "is done away" in Christ (Moroni 8:8).

The Doctrine & Covenants explains that in the early church (meaning the time of the apostles Paul, Peter, and so on) there was "contention" over the practice of circumcision, and it was done away with so that people knew to put their faith in Christ and not in the Law of Moses (D&C 74:2-7).

In the Bible, the Apostles and Elders at the Council of Jerusalem decided to stop circumcision as a requirement for Gentile converts to Christianity (Acts 15:1–35).

Some other New Testament passages that say circumcision is no longer required include: Galatians 2:1–3; 5:1–11; 6:11–16 1 Corinthians 7:17–20 Colossians 2:8–12 Philippians 3:1–3

There is no religious reason for Mormons to be circumcised.

Forgive - Forget - Move On

When someone has mistreated you, hurt your feelings, or has wronged you - the best thing to do is forgive. Don’t wait an hour, a day, a month or even years . . . but ask God to put forgiveness in your heart -  immediately.  The longer you harbor unforgiveness in your heart the more miserable you will be! But even worse - if you don’t forgive - you will lose all happiness on this earth - and in the earth to come - because you won’t be there. Jesus said in Matthew 6:15 “But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” It doesn’t get clearer than that! Sometimes, the pain of injustice is so great, that it is not humanly possible to forgive - much less love that person. Yet the Bible says in Luke 6:27,36, “But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you. . . ” You see, God wants you to love your fellow man - and not just those who are nice to you! He wants you to “love” your enemies too! So how can you possibly forgive when you’ve been hurt so deeply? The answer is - by asking God to put ‘love’ in your heart and then, love them with “God’s love!” Yes, you ‘can’ have the courage to forgive by claiming God’s promise in Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me,” for God will give you the strength to forgive, forget, and move on with Jesus!  Follow this advice in Colossians 3:13, “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”

Text: Proverbs 24:17-20, Matthew 5:43-48, Romans 12:20, 1 Peter 3:9 Bible Texts:

Proverbs 24:17-20 KJV - Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: Lest the LORD see [it], and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him. Fret not thyself because of evil [men], neither be thou envious at the wicked; For there shall be no reward to the evil [man]; the candle of the wicked shall be put out. Matthew 5:43-48 KJV - Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Romans 12:20 KJV - Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 1 Peter 3:9 KJV - Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

SALVATION!!!

Jesus said to him, "For sure I tell you, unless a man is born again, he cannot see the holy nation of God." Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born again when he is old? How can he get into his mother's body and be born a second time?" Jesus answered, "For sure, I tell you, unless a man is born of water and of the spirit of God, he cannot get into the holy nation of God. Whatever is born of the flesh is flesh. whatever is born of the spirit is spirit. Do not be surprised that I said to you, "You must be born again.'" John 3:3-7.

They are reborn! This is not a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan this rebirth come from God. John 1:13 NLT

And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name." Acts 22:16 ESV

He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy, He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. Titus 3:5 NIV

And peter said to them, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38 ESV

For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with him you were raised to a new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from the dead. Colossians 2:12 NLT

We were buried therefor with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the father, we too might walk in the newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. Romans 6:4-5 ESV

We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. Romans 6:6 ESV

Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. Galatians 5:24 NLT

For while were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit for death. Romans 7:5 ESV

For the wages of sin if death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23 ESV

The Earnings of the godly enhance their lives, but evil people squander their money on sin. Proverbs 10:16 NLT

Now listen! Today I am giving you a choice between prosperity and disaster, between life or death. Deuteronomy 30:15 NLT

The house of the righteous contains great treasure, but the income of the wicked brings them trouble. Proverbs 15:6 NIV

Therefor if anyone is in Christ, HE IS A NEW CREATION. The old has passed away behold the new has come. 2nd Corinthians 5:17 ESV

But the free gift is not like the trespass, for if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one-man Jesus Christ abounded for many. Romans 5:15 ESV

We believe that we are all saved the same way, by the special favor of the Lord Jesus. Acts 15:11 NLT

The Light of the Gospel

1 Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. 2 Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 5 For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,”[ made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.

7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 11 For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. 12 So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.

13 It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.” Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak, 14 because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself. 15 All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.

16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. — 2 Corinthians 4 | New International Version (NIV) Holy Bible, New International Version®, NIV® Copyright ©1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.® All rights reserved worldwide.

I AM MAKING GOD A PRIORITY

I AM FOCUSED ON GOD

I AM CONNECTING WITH GOD

I AM NOT ALONE

======================

READ TIME: 7 Minutes & 16 Seconds

======================

THOUGHTS:

======================

   I have spent the later years of my life building this relationship with God, and one thing I noticed that always is an issue is time. Time is no one’s friend, but when we put our time into what we should do, we can see its manifestations. Many people feel that the more we do something, the more we enjoy it, and our flesh hates to pray, read the word, and do anything that will help us connect with him.

 2 Peter 3:8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day

 This right here should make us feel good because it says just one day is like a thousand years and imagine as you build this connection with him and every day, you're talking to him, he’s so grateful that he sees our days as a thousand years. But to us, one minute feels this way. Have you ever noticed that if you are on the phone watching Instagram, time goes by so fast that you don’t even realize what’s happening? You don’t realize the time that has passed, and you don’t even mind it because you're watching reels, right? But the moment you say I’m about to read my word or I’m about to pray, here comes the figuring for it or how long it’s going to take because our flesh wants us to sin. It wants us to do anything but anything godly, but the Bible tells us this about time.

  Ephesians 5:15- 17: Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore, do not be foolish, but understand the will of the Lord.

  It tells us to make the best use of our time. Many of us don’t. We use our time in the worst way and don’t factor in how to draw closer to God. The Bible tells us to draw closer to God, and we must do this daily. It says to do this because the days are evil. It says don’t be foolish; make sure you understand God's will. Do you know the Lord's will? Do you know what to do to have him tell you, his will? All we must do is ask.

  Proverbs 27:1: Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.

   This brings us to our other point: because we don’t know when our time is, we must be careful with it; we can’t boast about the next day or the next month or year because we don’t know our time that’s why the time, we got we must use it by seeking God.

    Many don’t seek him; we seek him periodically but not faithfully. God doesn’t want us to seek him when we need him; he wants us to seek him daily because we desire to; he wants us to desire to use our time for him. Do you carve out time to be with him? Do you make sure you save time to make him a priority? What is a priority in your life?

  Colossians 4:5 Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time

  It tells us again to make the best use of our time; it’s okay to relax, and it’s okay to want to watch some shows, but we can’t expect God to grow us if we haven’t put anything in to grow the seeds that are planted, we are eating anything of the spirit to grow the things of the spirit the only thing we have done things that’s of this world that’s why the appetite of the world can’t die because we are still feeding it, we have to stop feeding it and learn to feed the spirit man.

   Our daily activities are about Instagram, Netflix gossiping, etc. Still, when we start making our daily life of the holy Word, and we start meditating more, and we start worshiping more, we are growing the things within us, this craving for the lord; we must let the things of this world the appetite for it die. That’s not easy to do if we all being transparent it’s hard to do because we are all so curious about what’s happening around the world or in our own lives that we don’t allow our craving for this world to stop; we don’t allow our minds to stop processing while we even pray.

  So, how do we handle our time? We must do it wisely; we must handle our time with God with care, every day we have this opportunity to do something different, which is focusing more on God; our time is so precious we don’t know when our time is up that’s why we must live like it’s our last and spend it with him.

 ***Today, we talked about time, and some people have a problem with managing their time, some people have a problem with making God a priority. Still, no matter what happens, God has given us the space to do what we want, but what will you choose, whether it's time with him or watching Instagram reels? The more we feed our flesh, the more it will grow, but the more we give ourselves away to God, the more our relationship with him grows; it’s about time.

  Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you

  Do you seek him first? The word tells us when we take our time and seek him, everything else will come; everything will be available to us, but if we seek this world first, that’s what we will receive. Many people want to know how to be powerful in God, and we do this when we give God our time. If today you feel that you haven’t given him a lot of your time, go to him and express your feelings and wait for him to show you how to give more time to him; make him a priority today. ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee

======================

PRAYER

=====================

Heavenly Father, thank you for today and the time you have given us. Lord, help us to balance more of our time and give us more wisdom to seek you and not this world, Father; we rebuke the spirit of slothfulness; we send it back in Jesus' name, Father; we ask you for power to conquer this spirit in Jesus name we thank you for everything, we ask you to be with us and help us to stay focus on you and to be more like you father pour out a fresh anointing unto our lives in Jesus Name Amen.

Grow as a spiritual Christian.  Listen and adhere to the voice of the Holy Spirit (John 14:16-17, 15:26, 16:7, 13-15).

Practice the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23, Colossians 3:12-17) and reject the fruits of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21, Colossians 3:5-11).

Beware of Satan's attempts to lure you away from following Jesus Christ (1 Peter 5:8-10); but more importantly, remember Jesus Christ is praying that the devil stays away from you (Luke 22:31-32, John 17:15, Romans 8:34). 

Follow Jesus Christ at all costs (Matthew 16:24-25, Luke 14:25-34).  Nothing is more valuable than your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ (Romans 10:9-13).

God empower you and bless you, always.
