Are your ways like JESUS? Do you see people like JESUS sees people? Are you a man or woman after the heart of GOD? Do you love like JESUS loves? Or are just religious, judgmental, an institutionalized Christian robot, and a self-righteous religious fanatic who cannot see the fullness of GOD in CHRIST JESUS beyond your religion?………………Hmmmmph~
Brothers and sisters, I think some of us have forgotten we were all sinners before GOD changed us, and we are all being saved, we are not fully saved until we all behold the face of GOD, and GOD saves us from the destruction that has yet to come!
Brothers and sisters, everyone in the bible were sinners, fishermen, tax collectors, lawyers, Pharisees, Sadducees, prostitutes, demon possessed, thieves, and murderers, before GOD found them right where they were at!
GOD met Paul, Moses, King David, Jonah, Peter, Mary Magdalene, Manasseh right where they were, and salvation became a continual process for them all, until their time on earth was over.
They were murderers, prostitutes, sinners, and rebellious towards GOD, but they became GOD’S prophets, disciples, apostles, and servants of almighty GOD!
And they were not self-righteous, because they all knew themselves, and GOD revealed themselves to themselves, that they might know, the power is not in them, it’s in GOD, it’s by GOD’S grace and mercy, it’s a gift from GOD, it’s not of man, least any man should boast!~
(Ephesians 2:8-9) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
(Romans 5:7-8) For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commended his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
(Romans 3:23-24) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
(1 John 1:8-10) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Brothers and sisters, the greatest weapon we have against the enemy is love, but love must be pure without religion, the traditions of men, hypocrisy, respect of persons, unrighteous judgment, and self-righteousness, because real love will reveal the heart of the matter!
And your love for truth will cause you to keep GOD’S word above man’s word!
Your love for truth will cause the living word of GOD to come alive in you, and the word of GOD in you will discern the thoughts and intents of all men hearts, because the word of GOD in you is living and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
(Hebrews 4:12) For the word of God is living, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Brothers and sisters, when the word of GOD is alive in you and you become converted, then you will see people like GOD sees people!
And you can see the heart of the apostles Paul inside Saul, who was persecuting the followers of JESUS CHRIST, and consenting to their deaths!
And you can see the apostle Paul who will suffer greatly for the gospel of JESUS CHRIST, minister to the gentiles around the world, and write 14 books of the bible!
Brothers and sisters, when the word of GOD is alive in you, and you become converted, then you will see people like GOD sees people!
And you can see Mary Magdalene who was a prostitute and demon possessed, become a great woman of GOD, you can see her become the first person to see JESUS rise from the grave, and first person to share the good news of the gospel of JESUS CHRIST!~
Brothers and sisters, when the word of GOD is alive in you, and you become converted, then you will see people like GOD sees people!
And you can see a rebellious prophet named Jonah in rebellion against GOD, and running from the purpose of GOD, but you can also see this rebellious prophet going to minister a people who is just as rebellious as he is!~
And you can see a rebellious people repent because of the preaching of a rebellious prophet!~
Brothers and sisters, when the word of GOD is alive in you, and you become converted, then you will see people like GOD sees people!
And you can see a stammering murderer like Moses become the deliverer, and one the greatest prophets of GOD that there ever was or ever will be!~
Brothers and sisters, when the word of GOD is alive in you, and you become converted, then you will see people like GOD sees people!
And you can see David before he becomes King, and you see adultery, fornication, murder, and deception in his heart, but you can also see the anointing upon his life, you can see GOD grace and mercy in his life, you can see a man that’s after the heart of GOD, and you can see things, because the word of GOD is alive in you, you have been converted, and you now have the heart of GOD!~
(John 14:23) JESUS SAYS, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our HOME with him.
BROTHERS AND SISTERS, IF GOD AND JESUS COME TO MAKE THEIR HOME ON THE INSIDE OF YOU, THEN YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO BE LIKE WHAT’S LIVING ON THE INSIDE OF YOU, BECAUSE GOD IS WAY MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU!~
(Luke 17:20-21) JESUS SAYS, The kingdom of God does not come with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here is the kingdom of GOD! Or, lo there is the kingdom of GOD! For, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
(1 John 4:4) You are of GOD, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
Nathan Monday says
there is a reason why wickedness, hate, immorality, war, etc. are still buffeting this present world. And the reason is because we who call ourselves followers of Christ are not revealing the life of Christ in us which in turn confers solution to the present world. Romans 8:19 says, the world is waiting for the manifestation of the life we carry in us. They want to change, they want to be converted, they want to know JESUS. but how would they, if they did not see Him revealed in us. They are not interested in the gospel we preach but in that life of Christ in us which is light of whom darkness saw and could not comprehend it (John 1:4-5). Bro Reese, I think we should constantly pray for revival of the life and manifestation of Christ in the heart and life of the Church. Christ should reveal Himself personally to everyone who is part of His body because it is only the revelation of Him that we see that our lives can truly reflect.
Reese Kemp says
I agree, but I also know just because people belong to a church building, and they call themselves, Jews, Christians, Catholics, and Hebrew Israelite’s, that does not mean they know GOD or possess the revelation knowledge of GOD!
And neither does is mean we are all brothers and sisters in CHRIST JESUS, because JESUS said in his own words, in these last days many people shall be deceived, many shall be led astray, and many false prophets and false teachers shall arise who shall deceive many people!~
And many people shall be destroyed simply for a lack of knowledge, because if you reject the knowledge of GOD in CHRIST JESUS, then GOD will reject you!
