REWARDED FOR BREATHING

REWARDED FOR BREATHING

Many times you think you are not doing enough for the kingdom. You strive to do more which is good, but be careful not to get out of My rest. Life as I see it is much fuller and detailed that you could possibly see it. Along with the crowns, seats, and thrones, I have a cup of cold water reward, I have a salt and light reward, a praise reward, a walking reward and even a breathing reward. 

When you see all things at once the way I do, the excitement is in the details. Your thoughts, intents, language, walking, even breathing are as clear as day to Me. They're either working for Me or against Me. From the second you wake, to the moment you fall asleep, you are either an asset or a liability to the kingdom.

Sometimes in working hard on a project you think will be greatly rewarded but your thoughts and intents are a liability because they lack faith and are filled with defeatist language. There are other days you felt you accomplished nothing but you praised Me with your language, thoughts and walk, which bring great rewards. 

As the hosts of heaven and earth watch you, they see you as either light or darkness, good salt or savorless salt. You are either complaining or praising all day long. It was not the big acts of disobedience of the children of  Israel that prevent them from entering the promise land. It was the way they thought, walked and talked, everyday for 40 years. 

Light needs to do nothing, but walk where there is darkness. Salt has only to mix with the unsavory, to change the taste of life. Every morning grab hold of you mind, begin to praise Me, begin to speak My language, think My thoughts, and reject all negative talk of impurity or defeat, and you will be greatly rewarded for that day no matter how much you seem to accomplish in the physical. 

Think eternal not temporal, thinking big is great, but never neglect the tiniest of details, for there is where the victories are won. Giving a cup of cold water, may convert a single life that reaches millions. A single positive life giving word may change a life for eternity.

First walk the talk and then the projects will really count. When people leave your presence are they one step closer to Me or farther away? It all depends on the tiny detail of salt and light, and that is what I the Lord your God will judge by. Before your speak preach My gospel with your presence. 

James 1:26-27 (KJV)
If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. [27] Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

Psalm 15:1-5 (AMP)
LORD, WHO shall dwell temporarily in Your tabernacle? Who shall dwell permanently on Your holy hill? [2] He who walks and lives uprightly and blamelessly, who works rightness and justice and speaks and thinks the truth in his heart, [3] He who does not slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor; [4] In whose eyes a vile person is despised, but he who honors those who fear the Lord (who revere and worship Him); who swears to his own hurt and does not change; [5] He who does not put out his money for interest to one of his own people and who will not take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.

Proverbs 23:6-9 (AMP)
Eat not the bread of him who has a hard, grudging, and envious eye, neither desire his dainty foods; [7] For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. As one who reckons, he says to you, eat and drink, yet his heart is not with you but is grudging the cost. [8] The morsel which you have eaten you will vomit up, and your complimentary words will be wasted. [9] Speak not in the ears of a self-confident fool, for he will despise the godly Wisdom of your words.

Matthew 5:13-16 (AMP)
You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste (its strength, its quality), how can its saltness be restored? It is not good for anything any longer but to be thrown out and trodden underfoot by men. [14] You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. [15] Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck measure, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. [16] Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven.

Colossians 4:6 (AMP)
Let your speech at all times be gracious (pleasant and winsome), seasoned as it were with salt, so that you may never be at a loss to know how you ought to answer anyone who puts a question to you.

1 Peter 2:12 (AMP)
Conduct yourselves properly (honorably, righteously) among the Gentiles, so that, although they may slander you as evildoers, yet they may by witnessing your good deeds come to glorify God in the day of inspection when God shall look upon you wanderers as a pastor or shepherd looks over his flock.

Ephesians 4:22-32 (AMP)
Strip yourselves of your former nature put off and discard your old unrenewed self which characterized your previous manner of life and becomes corrupt through lusts and desires that spring from delusion; [23] And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude, [24] And put on the new nature (the regenerate self) created in God''s image, Godlike in true righteousness and holiness. [25] Therefore, rejecting all falsity and being done now with it, let everyone express the truth with his neighbor, for we are all parts of one body and members one of another. [26] When angry, do not sin; do not ever let your wrath (your exasperation, your fury or indignation) last until the sun goes down. [27] Leave no such room or foothold for the devil give no opportunity to him. [28] Let the thief steal no more, but rather let him be industrious, making an honest living with his own hands, so that he may be able to give to those in need. [29] Let no foul or polluting language, nor evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk ever come out of your mouth, but only such speech as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace (God''s favor) to those who hear it. [30] And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God do not offend or vex or sadden Him, by Whom you were sealed (marked, branded as God''s own, secured) for the day of redemption (of final deliverance through Christ from evil and the consequences of sin). [31] Let all bitterness and indignation and wrath (passion, rage, bad temper) and resentment (anger, animosity) and quarreling (brawling, clamor, contention) and slander (evil-speaking, abusive or blasphemous language) be banished from you, with all malice (spite, ill will, or baseness of any kind). [32] And become useful and helpful and kind to one another, tenderhearted (compassionate, understanding, loving-hearted), forgiving one another readily and freely, as God in Christ forgave you.

Matthew 10:42 (AMP)
And whoever gives to one of these little ones in rank or influence even a cup of cold water because he is My disciple, surely I declare to you, he shall not lose his reward.
