Guns And Wisdom | by Life Coaching Speaker Trey Knowles

By Trey Knowles | Saturday, April 29, 2023

A Gun is not praise-worthy.

Why do I say that?

A Gun is a weapon of destruction that does not give life.

The use of having a Gun is to put an end to the existence of (something) by damaging it or attacking it.

Once a person defines what the subject is, that person should then decide if the subject is admirable.

Whatever is admirable to a person it becomes desirable to the person’s heart.

Gun is defined as a weapon of destruction, and if you live in the Spirit of Love how can you find a gun to be admirable or even praise-worthy?

The thought of having a gun is a violation of the spirit of love.

Why do I say that?

God who is love teaches us, to set our affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Colossians 3:2.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. Philippians 4:8.

If I desire something of the world that does belong to my spirit which is the spirit of love then I am coveting.

Why do I say that because you shall not covet means that we should banish our desires for whatever does not belong to us?

One would say I need to protect myself. I need a weapon.

Sure we all need a weapon. But the choice of weapon should bring death to life.

What do I mean by choosing the choice of weapon that brings death to life?

Whatever is not of the spirit, we should put those things to death and bring them up with life with love by using the word of God as a weapon.

The state of loving earthly possession, having, owning, or controlling something can bring trouble against ourselves.

What do I say? The reason why is whatever takes us out of the spirit is not worth protecting.

Jesus teaches us. Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. Matthew 6:19-20.

So with that said what do I need to protect?

The answer is my Spirit.

Some would say what about protecting my life.

If you are worried about protecting your life then live by the spirit.

God tells us who created us. Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28

Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” On the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:17-21.

Some would say no one is taking my guns away and that’s ok. I would say, therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

A gun is not praise-worthy or lovely so choose wisely.

Irrational Foolishness | by Life Coaching Speaker Trey Knowles

By Trey Knowles | Sunday, April 23, 2023

Irrational Foolishness- thinking and behaving without reason of logic and common sense.

Irrational foolish person lives by their impulse and desires without common sense and morality.

The reason why I say that is because irrational people do and say stuff without thinking or seeing does it makes sense.

Foolishness is the lack of good sense and judgment. An irrational person is not looking for a sense of understanding of what’s right.

Irrational person embraces foolishness and darkness, they identify and associate together.

Evil is good and good is evil. Irrational person in embrace negativity and accept it as their identity. This is what makes them foolish. There is nothing cool about being evil. Their common sense and thinking are perverted.

The language of an irrational person is vulgar with the use of lots of profanity. Drugs, alcohol, sex, and malicious behavior seem like what they are driven by, the acts of immorality.

An irrational person sees malice and the life of darkness as being strong - (acting hard) and weakness as being Holy.

Why do I say this? The reason why is that, if a person doesn’t agree with the irrational person's behavior, the irrational person is automatically calling the person weak.

Being strong is being able to withstand the great force of pressure to entice wickedness.

Love all mankind. But hate the choice of actions of immorality and evilness.

The reason why I hate the choice of actions of immorality and evilness is because if we accept all kinds of wickedness and evilness no one will be saved and we all will enter destruction.

An irrational person likes to demand people to stop snitching. I will tell you to start snitching. The word of God says in Romans 12:9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

How to correct Irrational Foolishness?

Get to know God.

James 1:5 says if any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

Why am I telling you to get to know God? The reason is because God is the creator. He knows all. God is glad to give you wisdom without finding fault in you. He wants us to live in truth.

Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit of God.

Irrational foolishness is part of the flesh. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. Romans 8:8.

Get to know God and correct your irrational foolishness.

Realize this is not hate speech, because God did not come into the world to condemn the world but to save the world.

Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far away. Proverbs 22:15

Beer and Wisdom | by Life Coaching Speaker Trey Knowles

By Trey Knowles | Saturday, April 15, 2023

Poor means I am in need. I need Jesus’ Spirit.

If you are drinking beer, you are no longer operating in the

Spirit of God.

So let beer be for those who are perishing, Proverbs 31:6.

Let them drink and forget their poverty Proverbs 31:7. Why?

Because. You are no longer poor. You forgot your poverty; you forgot the need of Jesus and His Spirit. So let beer be for those who are perishing.

When are drinking beer, you forget the misery that Jesus saves you from. Drinking takes you back to that same miserable spirit.

Let beer be for those who are perishing,

Let them drink and forget their poverty

and remember their misery no more. Proverbs 31:6–8

God is merciful and he forgives. If you continue to drink, you are perishing and death does not have a timeline.

What Is in Your Heart? by Trey Knowles

By Trey Knowles | Monday, April 10, 2023

What is in your heart? Am I just talking to the air? Was Christ crucified for nothing? You claim to be wise you Nations of Swine eaters (A wild beast that eats everything). God made Jesus Christ who did not know sin to be sin (Death on the Cross) for us so that God’s righteousness would be produced in us. The resurrection of life. The same spirit that raised Jesus up from the dead.

Although you claimed to be wise. You are fools. You say that sin is your human condition. How is that so? You the Vatican City of Rome and Nations of Swine. You exchanged the glory of the immortal God (God that does not die) for images made to look like a mortal human being. You worship the dead, you glamourize skulls. You wear tattoos of animals. You make cuts to your body as if you own your own body. Laugh out loud, do you give yourself breath to your own lungs? You say this is your human condition. You exchanged the truth about God for a lie.

What is in your heart? You worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator — who is forever praised. Amen. Your mind has been deprived, morally corrupt; wicked: Look at you. You men who exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. You women who exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. You claim it’s your human condition. You lust. What is in your heart?

You have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. You are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. You gossip, you slander, you God-haters, you are insolent, you are arrogant and boastful; you invent ways of doing evil; you disobey your parents; you have no understanding, no fidelity (no faithfulness), no love, no mercy. Repent and change (turn your life around to God and to His Righteousness), you Nations of Swine.

To those who know God’s righteous decree. Are you trying to crucify Christ all over again? Was Christ crucified for nothing? No. Why do you continue to sin? or approve of those who do? Unless you deserve death meaning you don't won't be saved.

What is in your heart? Am I just talking to the air? Was Christ crucified for nothing? Answer my question and speak. Was Christ crucified for nothing? What is in your heart? For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is life and death to those who are perishing. Faith is acting on what God says. So what is in your heart?

Sincerely, Trey Knowles

Justification of Life

By Trey Knowles | Wednesday, April 5, 2023

Paul draws a contrast between the actions of Adam and Christ. He also outlines the outcome of the actions of these two men. He compares the man that disobeyed God's command with the One that obeyed His Word - contrasting the one that sinned against God with the One that did only those things that He heard from His Father in heaven.

It was the result of one act of disobedience, which was carried out by Adam that condemned the entire human race. Adam was the federal head of God's creation and he was given one simple test - but Adam failed. It was because of this one offence that Adam brought condemnation upon all men. Adam was told: of every tree of the garden you may truly eat but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for the day you eat of it you will surely die.

The result of this one sin of Adam brought calamity of the entire human race and placed everyone under God's condemnation and death. As the single representative of all humanity, Adam's one transgression resulted in the condemnation of all men. We are sinners - not only because we sin but also because we are imputed with a sin nature because of Adam's transgression. In addition to our imputed sin nature from Adam, we inherit a fallen nature from our parents.. and we were born in sin. We were born dead in trespasses and sins, at enmity with God and without hope in the world - and the soul that sins shall die, for the wages of sin is death.

It was this ONE transgression that resulted in the condemnation of all men, but it was also through ONE amazing act of righteousness, that resulted in justification of life to all men. It was one act of disobedience that placed us under God's eternal condemnation, and one act of willing obedience, that brought justification of life to all men - and it is received simply by faith in the finished work of Christ.

Many like to bemoan the fact that we are made sinners because of Adam's sin. Many feel it is unfair that we have to inherit the sin nature from our forefathers, because of their sin.. but this is failure to recognise God's incredible grace in His simple plan for man's redemption - for as by ONE sin we were all made sinners.. so by ONE act of obedience we can all be declared righteous and receive justification of life. It was Adam's one sin that rendered us sinners and inputed us with a sin nature.. so too by Christ's one act of obedience we are declared righteous and receive justification of life- by faith in Him. By His one act of obedience we are inputed with Christ's righteousness - and it is ours simply by faith - by believing in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin and life everlasting.

It was by God's grace that Adam's condemnation rested on ONE single act of disobedience - in order that by God's grace man's redemption could also rest on ONE act of obedience - one single act of sacrifice which made possible the justification of all who will believe.

All who are born IN ADAM are eternally condemned and all who are born-again IN CHRIST are not condemned but declared righteous by God and given eternal life - for there is no condemnation to those that are IN CHRIST.

The wages of being IN ADAM is death.. for by one man's transgression we are all made sinners.. but the gift of God is eternal life for those that are IN CHRIST, for His one act of righteousness results in justification of life for all who believe. By faith we are placed in eternal union with Christ - the God-Man Who is our kinsman-Redeemer and the federal Head of God's New Creation.

So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men.

The Heart | by Life Coaching Speaker Trey Knowles

By Trey Knowles | Monday, April 3, 2023

The Heart- is the store of valuable desires of that person and it rules the person’s will and drive.

What do I mean when I say the Heart is the store of valuable desires of that person?

Everything you have stored in your personally bought house or room is what you once desired to have or what you like and value. Your Heart is you’re bought house and room.

Everyone should question their Heart by saying is everything I am storing in my Heart good for me.

Why am I telling you to question your Heart?

Because the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately sick. But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. For out of the heart come evil thoughts — murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. Jesus talks about this in Matthew 15:17–20.

Whatever you allow in your heart controls the outcome of your character.

If you allow impure things in your heart and desire and value impure things you’re out of vile practices will have bad results. The bad results are the outcome of your character.

Bitterness, jealousy, and selfish ambition are all demonic. If you desire the things that are not of God you are living on self ambition. So if you are wise and see such things in your heart, correct it.

Matthew 6:21 Jesus once said for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

What do you value most and what are you storing in your Heart the most? The good person out of his good treasure brings forth what is good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth what is evil.

Treasures in the heart are what rule the person’s will and drive.

Purify your heart and denounce the desires of the world. Those who say I don’t need to purify my heart, I have made my own heart pure by myself, they are deceiving themselves. What sinful person can say that?

The only pure substance is Jesus.

How does a person purify their Heart?

By opening and accepting their Heart to Jesus and allowing the words and the spirit of God to come in.

Start the beginning of realizing you need Jesus.

The spirit of God says, My son, give me your heart and let your eyes delight in my ways. Proverbs 23:26.

Let God store his ways in your Heart. Allow yourself to desire the things of the Lord and be joyful. Clean you’re Heart by repenting, turning away from your sinful works and sinful desires and world ambitions that are stored in your Heart.

The Heart- is the store of valuable desires of that person and it rules the person’s will and drive.

Desire the things above that come from God and let his perfect will be our drive.

So blessed is the Pure in Heart for they will see God.

Why will the Pure in Heart see God?

The drive of the Pure in Heart has purified their hearts to live in the will of God.

Jesus says come near to me I will come near to you.

So blessed is the Pure in Heart for they will see God.
