IN THE WAY YOU JUDGE, YOU WILL BE JUDGED
Matthew 7:1-2 – Do not judge, so that you will not be judged. For in the same way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure it will be measured to you.
This is a powerful statement the Lord Jesus Christ made. He can make such a statement and set such a rule because He is the Lord! He was anointed by His heavenly Father to declare the will of Heaven on Earth. He prepared the way for the Holy Spirit to be poured out by removing our sins through the work of the cross and making it possible for Heaven’s obedience to be established on earth. For our sakes, Jesus took the judgment of God upon Himself. He alone has been given the right to judge. As I look upon another , , , READ MORE — CLICK ABOVE

BE A SEEKER OF HIS KINGDOM AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS BEFORE ALL ELSE
Matthew 6:33 – But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all things will be added to you.
The focus of the New Testament is the kingdom of God and its accompanying righteousness. John the Baptist said, “Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand” (Matthew 3:2). This also was the opening proclamation of Jesus’ ministry as recorded in Matthew 4:7. Throughout the ministry of Jesus, He teaches of the coming Holy Spirit . . . Read More – Click Aove

THE CURE FOR ANXIETY
Matthew 6:25 – For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life.
The instructions of Jesus from verse 25 to 32 are to help focus the believers on their relationship with our heavenly Father. They help the believers to be assured that God cares more for them than all of His creation for which He provides. In verse 30, Jesus clarifies that our trust of God is a “faith issue.” All worry is associated with a lack of faith. The Holy Spirit was given to bring us . . . READ MORE – CLICK ABOVE.

CHOOSE WHOM YOU WILL SERVE, GOD OR WEALTH
Matthew 6:24 – No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.
A two-headed creature is always a freak. Jesus is not saying that you cannot be rich and serve God. He is saying you cannot “serve” both God and wealth. It is one thing to have possessions and use them for God’s glory, and quite another to allow possessions to have you. Hold loosely to all you own. It is easy to become emotionally tied to one’s possessions, READ MORE – CLICK ABOVE

LIGHT ENTERS INTO THE BODY THROUGH YOUR EYES
Matthew 6:22 – The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light.
According to a well-known saying, “the eye is the window of the soul”. When I speak with a person, I look them in the eyes. By doing this, it seems I make a better connection with them. As I listen to what they are saying, I am better able to respond when I communicate back with them.

STORE UP FOR YOURSELVES TREASURES IN HEAVEN
Matthew 6:19-21 – Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
The Holy Spirit has come to connect us to heaven. Most of the time, the human goal is survival, to hopefully achieve amassing as much money as possible for security in this life. Read More – Click above
