Left
Hand Christians
Matthew
25:33
A
Plea for the Deceived
For
those who have ears to hear, and eyes to see, the recent past has delivered us
to a time when a student of biblical prophecy can only be certain of one
conclusion. We are witness to the last
days mentioned in both the Old Testament and New Testament. No responsible student of scripture would
dare give a date of Christ’s return, but as Christ mentioned in His teachings,
we are supposed to be aware of signs of the times.
This
is not an expository for the non-believer, nor is it fodder for the
atheist. Self-proclaimed Christians need
no assistance from any non-believers or apostasy in pointing out hypocrisy
within the denominations.
Neither
is this a judgment. It is however a
rebuke or admonition to hearken unto the truth of Christ and His Gospel of the
Kingdom to come, rather than to cleave to the foolish traditions of men.
Because
I am a sinner I find myself in conflict with what Jesus said in Matthew 24:6
And ye shall hear of wars and
rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled; for all these things must come to
pass, but the end is not yet.
The “beginning of sorrows” Christ speaks of are happening
daily. The sobering truth also mentioned in scriptures following result in a
burden almost too great for a servant of Christ to imagine. Matthew 24:12.
And because iniquity shall abound
the love of many shall wax cold.
As I lend an ear to current events of these days and I am
troubled. I am reminded of Old Testament
Prophecy. Isaiah 5:20-23
Woe unto them that call evil good,
and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put
bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Woe unto to them that are wise in
their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
Woe unto them that are mighty to
drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: Which justify the
wicked for reward, and take away righteousness of the righteous from him!
Prophets present the intentions and will of God. They are almost always hated and considered
to be fools until calamity spoken of befalls those who should have listened. In the New Testament the Apostle Paul speaks
of old times as ensamples (examples) for us on many different occasions. The New Testament church that departs from
Old Testament teachings is likely a church any serious believer of the Word
should flee from.
Our country was founded under a covenant with God written
within the Mayflower Compact. Martin
Luther’s reformation of the church became a type of exodus from the tyranny of
the Church and monarchies demanding a manner to worship God. As our country grew and developed most of our
leaders gave attribution to God based upon Biblical understanding. These are plain facts many of our current
population is willfully ignorant of from a historical perspective. The enemy of the faithful has done its very
best to manipulate the accuracy of these facts through rewriting history
convenient to their designs of eliminating God from our culture.
From our beginnings as a country, which put the word of
God first to our condition today of our losing our individual freedoms; my
sinful nature in being troubled can only be set to peace in one manner. This is to pray and seek the guidance of the
Holy Spirit. As I worked the other day my prayers were answered. The answer wasn’t given to me as a passive
gift. It came with conditions.
Brothers and sisters in the family of God and of our Lord
Jesus, I pray you consider the following words for your eternal benefit, rather
than hear them as a condemnation of life here in the flesh.
Acts
17:30
And the times of this ignorance God
winked at; but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent:
Jeremiah
4:22
For my people is foolish, they have
not known me; they are sottish children, and they have no understanding: they
are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
Jesus the Christ ministered to the world for a short
time. In a span of three years he gave
sight to the blind, healed the sick, cleansed the lepers, raised the dead and
cast out evil spirits. In the flesh
Jesus was spoken of in the days of Isaiah and other major prophets. So when God became man in Jesus what were
some of the teachings He left us to consider and live towards?
In one of Jesus’ most noteworthy sermons named the
Beatitudes, Jesus qualified His mission.
Matthew
5:17-18.
Think not that I am come to destroy
the law, or the prophets: I am not come
to destroy, but to fulfill.
For verily I say unto you, Till
heaven and earth pass, one jot or one title shall in no wise pass from the law,
till all be fulfilled.
Jesus was a Jew and he kept the Sabbath. The Jewish
Sabbath is Saturday. So why do
Christians worship on Sunday? The law
and prophets Jesus spoke of came from the books of Moses. In those books you’ll read the Ten
Commandments. Clearly God was pretty
certain about the holy day of rest in the fourth commandment.
I have heard many explanations as attempts to reason
worship on Sunday rather than on God’s day of rest. I have heard these explanations because I
have asked and searched for something worthy so as to accept this contradiction.
I can tell you how the Sunday worship
transferred in the early church during the reign of Constantine.
When I consider Sunday worship and reflect on the
practices of the differing denominations of Christians, I can see how the
schedule of men in this world of flesh makes sense. Our work week and calendar are convenient to
Sunday worship. I have wondered what would happen if there was an automatic and
immediate change to make Sabbath worship the norm rather than Sunday worship.
Consider how God’s day begins as opposed to how man sees
a day. The Sabbath of God begins at
sunset Friday night! Would it even be
possible for Americans to embrace this change of weekend ritual?!
John
14:15
If ye love me, keep my
commandments.
In my walk following Christ, I must take the savior at
his word. There is no way I can
reconcile proper worship to God the Father and Jesus by not keeping the Sabbath
on the very specific day mentioned in the fourth commandment. While Jesus lived, he was never accused of
not keeping the Sabbath. It was what he
did on Sabbaths that got him into trouble.
The New Testament is replete of healings and miracles Jesus did during
those Sabbath days.
Try to imagine being part of the ruling class of
Pharisees or Sadducees during the time of Jesus. These people controlled the keeping of the
Sabbath within Israel. The rituals of
Sabbath keeping were strict according to these men. The offerings of the Sabbath given to them
kept them wealthy and in power. The
people coming to those in charge were in a bondage to the law of Moses all
while they were under control of the Roman Empire. These same people were hoping for deliverance
from the tyranny of Rome from a King David type of leader, which many hoped would
return them to the past Glory of a past Jerusalem.
This law of Moses through offerings covered sins, it did
not forgive sin. Jesus made the example
of forgiving sin on the Sabbath in Matthew 9:1-6.
And he entered a ship, and passed
over, and came into his own city.
And behold they brought him to a
man sick of palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the
sick of the palsy: Son be of good cheer: thy sins are forgiven thee.
And, behold certain of the scribes
said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.
And Jesus knowing their thoughts
said, Wherefore you think evil in your hearts?
For whether is easier, to say, Thy
sins be forgiven thee; or to say, arise and walk?
But that ye may know that the son
of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then he saith to the sick of
palsy,) Arise take up thy bed, and go unto thine own house.
Nobody had ever seen such healing in
their days alive. None of the Pharisees
or Sadducees ruling ever did such a thing.
When the masses of people began to hear of these great doings, you better
believe those in control perceived a real danger to their own power as the
multitudes sought out Jesus on the Sabbath rather than them.
It is also important to understand
how the Jews in Jesus’ time regarded sin.
If a person was afflicted with illness or deformity the cause of the
illness of deformity had to come from a sin nature. Check out John 9:1-2
And as Jesus passed by, he saw a
man which was blind from birth.
And his disciples asked him,
saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
The ministry of Jesus or His purpose follows in John
9:3-5.
Jesus answered, Neither hath this
manned sinned, nor his parents: but that the works God should be made manifest
in him.
I must work the works of him that
sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
As long as I am in the world, I am
the light of the world.
The remainder of the chapter followed from instructions
given to the man receiving his sight so as to be investigated by the
Pharisees. Once again the miracle was
done on the Sabbath, once again Jesus’ words to the Pharisees in the end of the
chapter made them more embolden to end his life.
The rulers of the time made keeping the law a burden to
the people. They lost sight of why the law was important. What became important to the rulers was the
glory of them in what they perceived as service to God. Jesus denounced them for their selfish pride. Matthew 23:23
Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cumin, and have
omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these
ought ye to have done, and to not leave the other undone.
If the rulers of Jesus’ day clearly understood the
scripture they presumed to guard they would have discerned his arrival as the
coming Messiah prophesied within the same books they claimed to know. They were blinded in sin of greed and pride.
John 5:46-47.
For had ye believed Moses, ye would
have believed me: for he wrote of me.
But if ye believe not in his
writings, how shall ye believe in me?
The review of Jesus’ ministry or mission is indeed remarkable.
But Jesus’ prophecy is even more remarkable.
The prophecy I want to focus on is the building of the church
immediately after his crucifixion and resurrection. John 14:12-17.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He
believeth on me, the works that I do he do also; and greater works than these
shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my
name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
If ye love me keep my commandments
And I will pray the Father, and he
shall give you another Comforter that he may abide with you forever.
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the
world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye
know him for he dwelleth with you and shall be in you.
Jesus gives reference to another personage of God as the
“Comforter”, and even says that he is the Spirit of Truth. We go forward to the resurrection and beginning
of Jesus’ church building. Acts chapter
one, Jesus gives specific instructions speaking to the coming of the Holy
Spirit just before his ascension.
Chapter two describes the conversion of 3,000 by the same Apostle that
denied Jesus three times. Jesus in his
ministry had less than 100 followers for all his works!
Throughout the book of Acts the reader encounters more
healing and miracle work done through the Apostles. In Chapter seven Steven, a discipline full of
the Spirit testifies in God’s word from Abraham until the present and becomes
the first martyr stoned to death for Christ’s sake. Even more incredible is the future of the man
named Saul of Tarsus who oversaw the stoning of Stephen in his work. This man became the Apostle to the Gentiles
spoken of in Isaiah 42:6.
I the Lord have called thee in
righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for
a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles:
In Acts 9: 15-16 Saul becomes the focus of Christ’s will
towards Annanias.
But the Lord said unto him, Go thy
way: for he is a vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and
kings, and the children of Israel:
For I will shew him how great
things he must suffer for my name’s sake.
Any reader of the New Testament
knows that seventy five percent of it was written by Paul, the transformed Saul
unto service of preaching the gospel of Christ.
Has any man suffered more than Christ himself other than Paul? I think not.
Paul’s suffering came largely from the Jews who condemned Jesus. It was his mission to convince them that
faith in the Lord, and belief on the Lord Jesus was the same salvation promised
to the Jews by the promises of Abraham. When Jews (Pharisees) attacked him, he
turned to the Gentiles.
Most
Christians claim to have their faith, not fully understanding that their same
faith is fruit of Paul’s work. The
Apostles of Jesus didn’t trust him as he began his mission in taking the Gospel
to gentiles and Kings of the earth.
Peter needed great persuasion to fully understand how the gospel of
Jesus and the coming Kingdom of God was to be sought after as it is written in
Acts chapter ten. His vision or trance
from heaven made it clear to him that God’s glory was for all men by the
baptism of Cornelius and his house, not just the Jews as the Apostles had been
thinking. Later and beyond these
determinations the covenants Jews had with God as the chosen people were
departed from concerning the gentiles and children of God counted within the
New Testament church. Chapter eleven of
Acts describes Peter’s defense of witnessing Holy Spirit operation as God
desired, which gave Paul credibility as an Apostle to the Gentiles determined
by none other than Christ’s urging.
The first century church struggled
within itself on how to preach the gospel of the kingdom coming. The Holy Spirit operation however did not
struggle. In his letter to the church at
Philippi, Paul beseeches the church to grow with great effort. Philippians 2:11-13
And every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have
always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence,
work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
For it is God which worketh in you
both to will and to do of his good
pleasure.
In all of the New Testament letters
Paul was inspired to write his underlying motive came down to one thing. This was the glory of God the Father by
believing in Jesus Christ. Again, Paul
never met Jesus in the flesh as the Apostles did. Paul’s Apostleship is proof of the Great
Comforter or the Holy Spirit Jesus promised to send John 16:7-14
Nevertheless I tell you the truth;
It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter
will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
And when he is come, he will
reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
Of sin, because they believe not on
me;
Of righteousness, because I go to
my Father, and ye see me no more;
Of judgment, because the prince of
this world is judged.
I have yet many things to say unto
you now, but ye cannot bear them
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of
truth is come, he will guide you in all truth: for he shall not speak of
himself; but whatever he shall hear, that shall he speak; and will show you
things to come.
He shall glorify me: for he shall
receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
In my journey of faith, I find great similarity in Paul’s
teaching towards the Romans.
Specifically Romans 8:22-25.
For I delight in the law of God
after the inward man.
But I see another law in my
members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to
the law of sin which is in my members
O wretched man that I am! Who shall
deliver me from the body of this death?
I thank God through Jesus our Lord.
So then with the mind I serve the law of God; but with flesh the law of sin.
Modern cultures today embrace political correctness. Morality without adherence to God’s statutes
and laws is the greatest deception the enemy has granted us. The prince of this
world has been judged, yet to many Christians accepting political correctness
as religious, they too will be judged at the White Mercy Seat as goats on the
left hand. Yes, they have been
deceived. Our Lord Christ was very
specific about this in many different teachings. His Apostles also were very specific. Before Christ and the New Testament church,
the man after God’s own heart penned the 119th Psalm. David spoke of God’s mercy while Jesus
delivered it in the flesh. This mercy
wasn’t the mercy of officials looking to maintain power as the Pharisees and
Sadducees erroneously did. This was the
mercy of God shown to David before Christ!
We as Christians inherit the blessings promised to
Abraham. This truth is related in the
Roman scriptures chapter four. How then
as Christians can we not love our brothers the Jews? It is our mission commanded by Christ to love
one another, even our enemies. Christian
behavior is defined in Romans 12, yet how much of this teaching is allowed in
churches, let alone prospered in denominations demanding certain aspects of
abiding law men teach just as the Pharisees and Sadducees of Jesus’
ministry?
Today many of us see the Muslims as an enemy. Are we also aware that Muslims are also a
seed of Abraham? They are, and according
to God in Genesis 16:10-12 part of His own plan. Christians in America and the western nations
claiming to be Christians are leaving God out of the equation in figuring out
what to do about troubles of these days concerning those not considered of the
multitude. We wage war against
them. We have done so for decades and
centuries. Is this the work and spirit of
spreading Jesus’ gospel? The operation
of a nation is huge. Throughout
scriptures God has raised up nations for his will and purpose and taken them
out. Israel’s history is the only
millennial saga to exist in all cultures. Daniel 2:20-21 demonstrates this
truth.
Daniel answered and said, Blessed
be the name of God for ever and ever; for wisdom and might are his:
And he changeth the times and the
seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the
wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
I am of the belief that God
prospered America and parts of Europe for the purposes of aiding Israel through
the end time realities. Jesus’ telling
of end times in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 are plainly coming to our
knowing the time of sorrows. If there
are any doubters of my belief, I’d simply refer them to what Jesus said in
Chapter 3: 14-22 of the book of Revelation.
And unto the angel of the church of
Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness,
the beginning creation of God;
I know thy works, that thou are
neither hot nor cold: I would that thou wert cold or hot.
So then because they are neither
cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of thy mouth.
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and
increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that though are
wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
I counsel thee to buy of me gold
tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white rainment, that thou
mayest be clothed, and that thou thy shame of nakedness do not appear; and
anoit thine eyes with eyesalve that thou mayest see And as many as I love, I rebuke and chasten:
be zealous therefore and repent.
Behold I stand at the door and
knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him and
will sup with him, and he with me.
To him that overcometh will I grant
to sit with me in my throne, even as I overcame, and am set down with my Father
inhis throne.
He that hath an ear, let him hear
what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
In the last verse Jesus
specifically said that for those that have an ear, we should listen to the
Spirit of God. The seven churches spoken of in the first chapters of the Book
of Revelation in my mind are era churches.
Our country’s history for my understanding was founded in the Church of
Philadelphia, but has become the church of Loadicea. Many pastors may argue with this and that is
fine. However the promises given to the
church of Philadelphia are upon us these very days.
Are we renewed in the spirit of our
minds as Paul wrote in Ephesians 4:23?
Do we seek to avoid grieving the Holy Spirit in the manner that we live?
Is all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking put away
from us with all malice? Are we kind, caring, tenderhearted and forgiving to
one another? These are fruits of the
Spirit from God the Father Jesus promised us.
In his letter to the 1
Thessalonians 5: 15-18 Paul directs us
See
that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is
good, both among yourselves and to all men.
Rejoice
evermore.
Pray
without ceasing.
In
everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning
you.
What did Jesus
tell his Apostles concerning how the world would perceive them in for his
name’s sake? John 15:18.
If
the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
In the Chapter of the above verse
Jesus is speaking directly to his Apostles just before the work of his
passion. He also redefines the nature of
his relationship with them. They are no
longer his servants, but he calls them his friends and all he knows from his
Father has been made known unto them.
Think about that for a moment. Jesus’ own mission results in dying on the
cross for the sake of innocence. Those
who follow him will endure the same. The
reality of those Apostles was nothing that any of us as contemporary faithful
could possibly imagine. Those of us in
America and Western Europe enjoy freedoms none of the Apostles ever knew. These men died confessing that Jesus was Lord
of God the Father sent to preach the Gospel of Heaven’s Kingdom coming.
Matthew
10:32-33
Whosoever therefore shall confess
me before men, him I will confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
But whosoever shall deny me before
men, him will I also deny before my Father in heaven
Are we bold in proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ, or
do well remain aloof speaking of our spirituality within a politically correct
culture? How do we as Christians resist
the secular protocols demanding a departure from our faith in the guise of hate
litigations? Those who endure
persecution and personal loss for standing in their faith are presented by the
secular media for not willing to accept recent alternative lifestyle choices.
Are Christians today who are self-proclaimed to be saved,
standing on a sure foundation?
Matthew 7:13-14
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for
wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many
there be which go in thereat:
Because strait is the gate, and
narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
These words Jesus spoke are the beginning of a conclusion
explained after words by a wise man who builds his house upon stone, rather
than sand. It was preceded by the
command not to judge. Before that
considerations of our lives were spoken to in comparison of fowls being fed by
God and raiment of clothing as lilies of the field. We are not to be concerned with the affairs
of tomorrow, or how it is that we provide for ourselves.
Does this sound like any part of our culture today? Are 401k accounts, or life insurance policies
indicative of not caring for tomorrow?
If we are not to worry of these things and are to be of the few worthy,
just what is it that we are supposed to be doing? Well, I can show you the answer Christ
provided.
Matthew 10: 7-10
And as ye go, preach, saying, The
kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers,
raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
Provide neither gold, nor silver,
nor brass in your purses, nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats,
neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.
In the service of these instructions Jesus warns his
Apostles of persecutions that would follow them. The power Jesus gave to the
Apostles was from on High and awesome in its nature. Anyone in the business of making gain or
retaining power concerning the charge of Jesus became the enemy of the
Apostles. Their livelihood was at stake.
I am of the mind that we as Christians have been deceived
for understanding the commands of Jesus. Where are we preaching the kingdom of
heaven is at hand? Are we in possession
of the Holy Spirit’s power to heal, cleanse, raise or cast out?
If we could be motivated to not participate in the 4th
commandment, but rather worship on the pagan Sun Day ordained by Constantine,
is it reasonable to assume that we have blocked or rejected the person within
the God Head known as the Holy Spirit?
Are Christians today living without fear, boldly
proclaiming God the Father’s Glory in knowing the savior Jesus, or are
pretending to be saved in church attendance following the doctrines of
men? Is our membership of a church more
important than looking after the widows, and fatherless throughout the
week? Is your church food pantry open
every day, or just one or two days of the week?
Instead of preaching the kingdom of heaven to come, are
we attending ceremonies of sermons bent to relieve us of guilt associated to
appropriate hypocrisy? How is it that
our worship involves collecting tithes for construction of a building, when so
many fatherless go without?
My brothers and sisters, if church isn’t doing the
commandments of Jesus, or the works of the Apostles in the first century
church, I would submit to you that we have turned our back on the power of the
Holy Spirit promised by Jesus. A church
full of testimonies is only profitable if it seeks out sinners who repent and
know Jesus the Lord.
Matthew 9:12-13
But when Jesus heard that he said
unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
But go ye and learn what that
meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the
righteous, but sinners to repentance.
There are people who live in righteous manner, if there
weren’t Jesus wouldn’t have qualified his reason for coming. But let not the knowledge of righteous living
fool you as to being counted as saved.
Romans 6:23
For
the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus
Christ our Lord.
The one truth of every human experience is that all
die. We are free to believe in God by
the person of Jesus, or not to believe.
God’s true love for us must come by a voluntary seeking of His love for
us. This demands that we have a choice
to believe in faith that Jesus was who He claimed to be, and will do what He
said He was going to do.
True servants of God will study the examples Jesus left
us with according to the Gospels and New Testament Letters written by
Paul. They will embrace the words of
Christ and His sent ones to live in a certain manner.
2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto
God, a workman that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Jesus
and his Apostles warned us of suffering persecution for living Godly in the
name of Jesus. Peter even says to not
consider it a strange thing concerning the fiery trial which is to try you. 2
Peter4:12. Keep in mind these Apostles
operated with Holy Spirit Power in the same manner Jesus taught the world. Ask yourself some simple questions for your
salvation today. Are you believing that
worship on a day chosen of men suggesting that the church will be raptured out
before tribulations is the truth Jesus preached? Are we following preachers that publish their
own versions of interpreting Jesus’ truth?
Are we participating in the business of religiosity?
God’s
word is unchangeable. It is
immutable. It is the same from the
beginning as it is now, and will be in the end.
Jesus in his life rebuked those claiming authority of Moses’ Law. How many of our church leaders are walking
and teaching as the Pharisees, Sadducees,
lawyers and scribes of Jesus’ days?
Are we the people that go to see them so as to feel righteous? Are we those that preach the kingdom of God
without charge, freely speaking of Holy Spirit Power given to men that follow
Christ?
These
times we live in are very similar to what Jesus said in defining ‘End
Times’ These times for the divider of
the truth are known in the Old Testament by the prophets. On the day of the Great White Judgment will
you be on the Left hand of Christ hearing,
Depart from me,
ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.
It
is the nature of man to believe he knows what is best for him. Some men do well for themselves in the manner
which they provide a nice life for themselves.
Others do not perform as well as the truly gifted. They meet with failures and lack for what
they desired. Wealth lends itself to
freedom, more so than impoverishment.
Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of
God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Seek ye first what?
Seek ye first when? Is it
possible to know God’s purpose for His intention in creating you? I would submit it is possible to know God’s
will for each and every one of us. We
must first come to know Jesus on a personal level. We must access correctly the heavenly gifts
woven into our DNA before we were in the womb.
We must give Glory to God for all that we have and for all of the
blessings He gives to us. Then and only
then we will truly be considered adopted into the family of God. Jesus and the Father are one. If we love God and Jesus wouldn’t we abide
His commandments? Wouldn’t we be known
as His followers in as much as being a peculiar people showing forth the
praises of Jesus and doing as he instructed?
Before I conclude, I’d like to make a point of two
scriptures from both the Old and New Testaments. Both scriptures come from God the Father and
Jesus the Son. They both speak to The
Holy Spirit of God. Joel 2: 28-29,
John15:26.
And it shall come to pass
afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and
daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men
shall see visions:
And also upon the servants and upon
handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
But the Comforter, which is the
Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all
things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto
you.
It is proper to glorify God the Father with reverence and
thanks through the Savior Jesus Christ.
Christ through his work is our mediator.
The Father promised to pour out his spirit upon all flesh, and Jesus
said after He was gone our knowledge of God would be known by God’s awesome Spirit,
which lives in all of us. Jesus walked
and lived with God’s Spirit and knowledge throughout His mission for
mankind. Are you a Christian that knows
the Holy Spirit? Are you growing the
Holy Spirit within your flesh vessel? If
you seek God’s favor from a pastor at a particular church service it would be
my contention that the great Comforter is he that you don’t know.
God
loves you. Without love for God and the
service to Him in the name of Jesus, through the Holy Spirit of God it is a
surety that you will be a Left Hand Christian.
There is no judgment in observation.
No man save Jesus brings us into heaven.
God seeks those that might not think they need him, by charging us to
bring sinners to repentance at the foot of the cross, where The Savior’s
sacrifice covered sin for all men.
Peace and love from God on High
