The Messenger or the message, which do you really esteem?
We are to experience God, His love, and His resurrected Lord by the power of the Holy Ghost in the believer in true repentance. Without “living witnesses of the resurrected Lord”, in them, there will be no conversions of the ungodly! Testimony and experienced truth of God’s salvation is needed.
[Luke 4:24-27] And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land; But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.
Because of our former disobedience and wondering in the world and having our ears tickled in religion, we have programmed ourselves to follow ministries and mankind deeming it a very seemingly natural “religious social result” when that is not what God wants. He wants “a living witness of the resurrected Jesus” to give God Glory, in His Christ in personal Holiness and faith, having the Holy Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are the sons of God, and, in Him alone, sometimes that can be a very lonely process, even with lots people around, especially in the same social ideology climate. Coming to Christ we are to be dead to fleshly religious social works but spiritually alive in Him, created anew. So are allegiance, from the heart and spirit, is to Christ and His Spirit in His word to the glory of God to hear Him, to be “a living witness” of the love of God in holiness, no matter who teaches or speaks. We set our hearts to be aware of Him and His word by His Spirit, in our hearts, to do His will that He shows us personally to perform, one to one. He has a place in His body for all. We love Him and from Him we have Godly love for His body, all the “hands and feet and head and legs, etc.” We open our spiritual ears to hear the message no matter who its from.” God may have something important for us to hear to be a “living witness”, the “resurrected Lord in us, that we know that we know and have a relationship in Him. Its Him not us!
He wants to minister to the body, by and through “the effectual working of each member" in personally experiencing Him, in belief and love, being a “living witness” of the resurrected Lord. Give place to the Holy Ghost, Christ is the head and not men nor particular doctrines nor particular ministries that God gives. Its Christ and His body as it pleases Him. If you are baptized with the Holy Ghost He is Christ’s leadership of the body, you, and of each member in particular. You are to co-operate with Him, in Holiness and faith, uplifting Christ. Its sin to quench the Holy Ghost for He is taking the place of Christ here on earth to be a comforter [in place of] in spirit and in the truth of Christ to each member in particular to be “a living witness of the resurrected Lord”. Take up the cross of Christ, not the cross of a group or minister or ministries or self righteous works, and co-operate with the Holy Spirit. The just shall live by personal Faith in Christ, being a “living witness” of the resurrected Lord in you, knowing that you know Him, and not having a social gospel salvation theology, being lead of the Holy Spirit.
[Luke 4:14-19] And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
Luke 4:20-21 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, “This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.”
[Luke 4:22] And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. “…And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?”
[John 7:52] They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for “out of Galilee ariseth no prophet”.
[John 7:24] Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
[Luke 6:39] And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?
[John 9:41] Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
[John 9:24-34] Then again called they [supposedly Moses disciples-religious hypocritical attitude full of biblical knowledge but not hearing God] the man that was blind, and said unto him, “Give God the praise: we know that this man [Jesus-not teaching Moses law to follow but Himself] is a sinner.” He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples? Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples. We know that God spake unto Moses [did they hear? have they heard?]: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is. The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes. Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. If this man were not of God, he could do nothing. ‘
“They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.”
[Acts 6:3] Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.[some labor]
[Acts 6:8 ] And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.[table waiter]
[Acts 6:15] And all that sat in the council [against him], looking steadfastly on him…..
[Acts 7:54] When they [people being shown their sin and constant rebellion against the Holy Ghost-truth] heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him [ the living witness of the resurrected Lord Jesus] with their teeth.
[Acts 5:32-33] And we [Peter a fisherman with other disciples] are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him. When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.
[Acts 5:40] And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus [for they were, supposedly, Moses’ disciples-had hypocritical religion not hearing], and let them go.
[1st Corinthians 1:12-13] Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
[Matthew 5:46-48] For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only[esteeming in your heart more], what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
[Matthew 7:1] Judge not, that ye be not judged.
[Matthew 7:22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? [knowing ministries and ministers but not Christ, not faith, not holiness, not truth, not having the witness of the resurrected 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.
[Matthew 10:24] The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.
[Matthew 10:38] And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. [Find a word depicting Christ telling us to follow and depending on a ministry or our ministries or a law of works or mankind in place of Him and His word]
[James 2:9] But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
[Romans 2:11] For there is no respect of persons with God.
[1st Corinthians 1:26] For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: [into the kingdom of God]
Remember This, God only looks on the heart never on the outward appearance for out of the heart the mouth [life’s actions] speak. No one can hide intents and motives from God even if one is desired to do so. God knows and that’s all that counts in this horse shoe game. It’s a dead ringer.
[John 10:3-4] To him [Christ] the porter openeth; and “the sheep hear his voice:” and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and “the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.”
[Colossians 1:10-17] That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work [faith in Christ led of His Spirit], and increasing in the knowledge [not academically either but of the spirit-in the heart] of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:” In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
“Who is the image of the invisible God,” the firstborn of every creature:
“For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers:
“all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.”
[Colossians 1:18-19] And “he is the head of the body, the church:”
who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead;
“that in all things he might have the preeminence”.
“ For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;”
[Colossians 3:1-3] If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God”.
[Romans 8:12-17] Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. “For if ye live after the flesh, [having respect of persons] ye shall die”: but if “ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.” ….”For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God”. …..For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear [God’s wrath]; but ye have received the “Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father”[we know that we know Him and have the love of God]. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit [you know that you know], that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
The Holy Spirit in us is having Christ and God which is the adoption of the Father that we are the children of God having no respect of persons, Holy as He is holy and “obeying all His word by His Spirit that we know to do as the living Christ in us commands” and not mankind and its social and academic salvation of a dead witness.
[1st Corinthians 12:4-6] Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
[1st Corinthians 12:20-21] But now are they many members, yet but one body.
“And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you”.
Matthew 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child,
“the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven”.
[Matthew 23:12] “And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted” [motive of heart not an outward purposed piety for form’s sake of a social academic gospel]
[1st Peter 5:5] Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder.
“Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.” [this is not a religious form but an actual new spirit born anew from Godly repentance to have the “witness of the resurrected Christ in ones life to speak of Him and His wonderful works of deliverance and love in Godly perfection of ones spirit in Him” .]
God’s word, The Father, Christ [living word], the Holy Spirit are one, totally united, and absolutely no shadow of turning in showing and performing the will of a Holy God.
[Psalms 10:17] LORD, thou “hast heard the desire of the humble”: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
* The un-humbled and prideful that does not tremble at his word God knows afar off and His ear is not bent towards them. His face does not shine on them.**
[Isaiah 57:15] For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place,
“with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.”
[2 Chronicles 7:14] If my people, which are called by my name,
“shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land”.
[John 9:40] And some of the “Pharisees” which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
Says the Lord, “How long will you refrain from humbling yourself before me and follow My Spirit? You follow “truth”? How long will you continue to do your works and not come to Me?
[Hebrews 12:2-8] Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
[Revelation 3:16] So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Revelation 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
[Revelation 2:2-5] I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, “because thou hast left thy first love”. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
[Revelation 2:23] …. I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to YOUR works.
[Revelation 3:19] As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: “be zealous therefore”, and “repent”.
[Revelation 2:26] And he that overcometh, and “keeps my works” unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
[Revelation 3:13] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
[Revelation 3:21] To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
