Peter write this letter to warn us of the false prophets, and false teaching. The actions of these will lead to. Hence, he write that we as servant of God will need to be knowledgeable of our Lord and his teachings and words to grow with wisdom and gracefully. We as Christan and servant of Lord should always bring glory to our God and this should come naturally for us day to day. We should make it so that its part of our daily habit until our final day on this earth, and be with our Savior for eternity.

Application:
This is Peter's guide line to the believers, to help ourselves in such sinful and alter motivated world.

7/28/2011 - LJ "Heart to destruction"
Scripture:
2 Peter 2:3 "and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep." (NASB)
Observation:
What people would do more greed. It is not only within the church community, but within our everyday life. Leader of church community will prophesies false to entice new members and offering. There are many house of God who abuse the power of authority and leadership, some would uses the offering for their own personal interest. It is sad and upsetting reality to know so many religious leaders out there doesn't have their heart for God, but use God to absorb personal satisfaction. I can only conclude that the evil and sinister comments from these so called leaders has no value, and they themselves have no value of their own either. It is ideal for those to speak the false, because their heart is empty and to fill that emptiness, the only way so would be to sin and speak of false and feed others with words they want to hear. But as servant of God, who we should love and hear his word daily, should not allow us to fall into that trap. Its like those who bully others, to make themselves feel better, however, the one who is bullying other is the individual with the lowest self esteem, hence have to bully others to make themselves a bit better, when deep inside they are feeling this emptiness, which cannot be avoidable. God knows how to rescue love those who are suffering and will punish those false prophets while they wait for their judgement. False Prophets may feel the self satisfaction, but it is only temporary satisfaction, because the ultimate satisfaction is to in the presences of the LORD. They have lost that through their journey to finding and fulfilling their satisfaction by taking control of their own destiny.
Application:
Throw my pride and through humility learn the lessons from God. Humility is nothing to be shamed of, it is wiser path versus taking control of fulfilling self satisfaction. Don't let the wealth and greed prophesied in this world overwhelm and absorb my consciousness. Regardless how tough the going maybe. God love those who come to him with righteous and sincere heart through the difficult times. Whatever, the world present and false sinners present, by pass and focus my heart on God and his word. For when the judgement comes, God will judge righteously.
Prayer:
Father, help me to be obedient servant. Help me to speak of the truth, and that my heart will stay focus to you and I may not be influenced or consumed by this messed up world of personal gain and greed. I see how wealth and greed can do to families and friends, Father help me to continue to seek your words and your kingdom, and help me to filter and be strong and focus on your wisdom and your wise direction for me to follow through. Father you know yesterday, today, and tomorrow. We cannot hide or run from you. Thank you for continually reaching out your hands and I pray you will set me straight. In your name I pray, amen.

Blood of sacrifice (animal and etc), we do not live in that time, God has poured out the sacrificial blood to cleanse us, hence we are to praise his name and his high with out lips and kindness to outside our community, praising and sharing with those outside our comfort zone. We are cleanse through his blood, and rather for sacrifice of animal blood, it is obvious and given pleasure to God's ear when we bring praise in his name and is much more blessing in our God's eye and ear.

Scripture:
Hebrews 9:28 "so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him." (NASB)
Observation:
Who can we called our might Savior? Who in this world would be willing to lay their life for sake of you, to save to from anything? Well... there is someone, our Almighty gracious Father Lord Jesus. He sacrificed himself repeatedly to save us from our transgressions, so that we may be free. He put himself in the front of line to shield us and protect us. He brings humility and humbleness to save our arrogance, for the sake of our salvation. He shed his own blood, so that we will be free and for everlasting salvation.
Application:
So what are you doing with your freedom? Freedom which we didn't ask for or earn but was given willingly from our Father? How is today any different from the day God was nailed to the cross? We endure and try to fathom his pain and suffering and we try to related, but how often do we let that consistently impact and let it speak to us. Can you bare yourself as sacrifice or even our pets (dogs or etc) as part of sacrifice to wash our transgression? We are such selfish individuals who forget how much freedom we have, what it took to get that salvation. Let's not be ignorant, let God's grace and love be shared and be present daily. How hypocrite would I be to sit by his feet, when he returns and our Father I have lived humbly and as faithful servant as I can, when in fact, my daily life is nothing near prioritizing and understanding his pain and suffering for my salvation. I am free today from because and only because Our Savior, his gracious and unconditional love for me by sacrificing himself on the cross for my wrong doing.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank you for your ultimate sacrifice. Thank you for reminder like today's life journal the salvation and freedom I have today is bear by your own flesh and blood. Father I am such selfish and hypocrite, help me to dwell and heal my heart and open my heart to your reaching hand.

Hebrews 9:28 "so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him." (NASB)
Observation:
Who can we called our might Savior? Who in this world would be willing to lay their life for sake of you, to save to from anything? Well... there is someone, our Almighty gracious Father Lord Jesus. He sacrificed himself repeatedly to save us from our transgressions, so that we may be free. He put himself in the front of line to shield us and protect us. He brings humility and humbleness to save our arrogance, for the sake of our salvation. He shed his own blood, so that we will be free and for everlasting salvation.
Application:
So what are you doing with your freedom? Freedom which we didn't ask for or earn but was given willingly from our Father? How is today any different from the day God was nailed to the cross? We endure and try to fathom his pain and suffering and we try to related, but how often do we let that consistently impact and let it speak to us. Can you bare yourself as sacrifice or even our pets (dogs or etc) as part of sacrifice to wash our transgression? We are such selfish individuals who forget how much freedom we have, what it took to get that salvation. Let's not be ignorant, let God's grace and love be shared and be present daily. How hypocrite would I be to sit by his feet, when he returns and our Father I have lived humbly and as faithful servant as I can, when in fact, my daily life is nothing near prioritizing and understanding his pain and suffering for my salvation. I am free today from because and only because Our Savior, his gracious and unconditional love for me by sacrificing himself on the cross for my wrong doing.
Prayer:

Scripture:
Hebrews 4: 15-16 "For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. " (NASB)

God is merciful, he is willing if I let him, so let me heart be willing to let him take control of the driver seat.
Prayer:
Father God, refresh my heart, open my heart so that I may be willing to let you in to take control.
