Do the men exalt the truth of GOD’S word in CHRIST JESUS or do they exalt their worthless religion, their institutions called churches, their false prosperity messages, their manmade traditions, their many different divisions of denominations, and themselves above the word of GOD?
“What type of man are you following?”
For we shall know all men by their fruit, and the fruit is not to been seen in the actions of men first, for the first fruits are the words they speak out of their mouths, for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks, and you shall know exactly what’s in a man or woman’s heart, if you listen closely to the words they speak out of their mouths!
For everything begins with a thought, then that thought becomes a word, and that word becomes an action, and that action takes on a life of its own!
For life and death are in the power of words!~
Now again I say, does the man speak of himself or does he speak of GOD alone?”
Does the man seek his own glory or does he seeks the glory of GOD alone?”
“What type of man are you following?” That is the question?”
(JOHN 7:17-18) JESUS SAYS, If any man will do GOD’S will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of GOD, or whether I speak of myself.
He that speaks of himself seeks his own glory: but he that seeks GOD’S glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
(LUKE 16:15) JESUS SAYS, You are they which justify yourselves before men; but GOD knows your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of GOD.
(MATTHEW 10:33) JESUS SAYS, Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
(Philippians 2:5-8) Let this mind be in you, which was also in CHRIST JESUS: Who, being in the form of GOD, thought it not robbery to be equal with GOD: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Brothers and sisters, this is the fruit you are looking for in a real man or woman of GOD, and this is the mind they have, for all the real men and women of GOD have the mind of CHRIST JESUS, and like CHRIST JESUS, they all make themselves men and women of no reputation, they all take upon themselves the form of a servant, they all make themselves in the likeness of no other men, and they all humble themselves to become obedient to do GOD’S will in the earth!~
For they have the mind of CHRIST JESUS!~
And you shall know them by their fruit, for they do not need man’s titles in front of their names, they do not need man’s positions of authority in front of their names, they do not need to be called pastor, prophet, evangelist, apostle, bishop, or minster, because they are comfortable in whom GOD has called them to be in CHRIST JESUS, and they don’t need man’s approval to be who GOD has ordained them to be in CHRIST JESUS, for they are comfortable in their own skin!~
For they have the mind of CHRIST JESUS!~
(1 Corinthians 2:16) For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
Brothers and sisters, JESUS has drawn a clear line in the sand when it comes to lifting him up, exalting him, glorifying him, and men lifting up themselves, exalting themselves, and glorifying themselves, instead of GOD!
So now the question yet still remains, “what type of man are you following?”
(MATHEW 8:21-22) And another one of Jesus disciples said to him, lord, suffer me first to go and bury my dead father! Jesus said to him, “you follow me”: and let the dead bury the dead.
(Mark 8:34-35) JESUS SAYS, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.
(Matthew 19:21) JESUS SAYS, If you will be perfect, go and sell that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
(John 12:26) JESUS SAYS, If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honor.
(John 10:27) JESUS SAYS, My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
Brothers and sisters, every religion wants to be JESUS, every religious man or woman wants to act like JESUS to the people, but they are not JESUS, and neither are they the way, the truth, or the life, for only JESUS is!
JESUS is not a religion, JESUS is not a religious institution, JESUS is not a religious organization, JESUS is not your so called prophets, apostles, pastors, priests, evangelists, ministers, or bishops, and neither is JESUS calling you to those worthless things that cannot save you, for JESUS is calling you to the truth of GOD’S word in himself!~
For only JESUS is the way, the truth, and the life, and no man or woman can come to GOD or know GOD, unless they know CHRIST JESUS!~
(John 14:6-7) JESUS SAYS, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me.
If you had known me, you should have known my Father also: and from henceforth you know him, and have seen him.
