Heavenly Father,
I pray this day by the Name of my Lord Jesus that we In Christ all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among us; but that we be mature and bonded together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
In Faith and In the authority given me by Christ.
So Be It.
He is the Rock, His work is perfect: for all His ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is He.
Just and right is He.
I want to talk about Jesus this morning.
The scriptures teach us that God the Father has committed all judgment unto His Son.
That He gave Jesus all authority in heaven and earth to execute judgement.
The Word also teaches us that Jesus will not judge according to appearance, but he will judge according to God's righteousness.
The Lord said Himself in John 5:30
I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgement is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
As He hears He judges.
As He hears from who?
From Nicodemus?
From John?
From Peter?
From Wizards and Astrologists?
No, as He hears from God.
If Jesus made all of His choices based on what He heard from God and I profess to follow Jesus...you fill in the blank_______________________________________________.
If we look at the scriptures we will see that Jesus doesn't even lean to His own understanding, He acknowledges God in all that He does.
Listen to me, this is true.
Even as Christians we look at this as some long drawn out thing that we don't have to think about right now.
I'm not talking about being afraid or anxious, I am talking about this is real.
We all must appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that each and every man or woman may receive the things done in his body, according to what we have done, whether it be good or bad.
The reason being that by one man sin entered into the world (Adam)
Adam's choice to lean to his own understanding is what invited sin in, and death by sin; and death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.
God set life and death before Adam and encouraged Adam to choose life and Adam chose death.
The Father sets the choices before men every day.
Every day on the Internet the gospel is preached.
Every day the gospel is preached on the TV.
Every day the gospel is preached on the radio.
Every day missionaries are going out all over the world preaching and sharing God's truth and His love.
Every day God's people are making it into the lives of those who are hurting, lost and broken.
Man is running out of excuses.
Sin is unacceptable to God because it brings about death and God is the giver of life.
Man placed him self in a position where he needed to be saved from death, where he needed a debt paid.
Because the wages of sin is death eternal this means separation from God.
What people don't understand is that apart from God we can do nothing.
You may think that you are doing things on your own power and in your own intelligence but apart from God, we can do nothing.
God knows this, so in His love for us He made a way for us to be redeemed and brought back to Him.
When God speaks it is a spiritual law.
So when He said, the wages of sin is death, that is exactly what it is.
God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Jesus is that Son.
What about Jesus? has been the question.
Here is the answer.
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name (Authority) under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Romans 4:12
We can give, and we can volunteer, hand clap, and listen to preaching all day long but if we don't follow Jesus who is the way we are deceiving our selves if we do not keep the way of the Lord.
God said this about Abraham:
For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
God didn't judge Abraham according to what how he was raised (his appearance) because Abraham was raised among moon worshipers, but when God called Abraham and said:
Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will show thee:
And I will make thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
And I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Abraham didn't poke his lip out nor did he confer with man.
He didn't lean to his own understanding.
Abraham had heard from God and he got up and he departed.
He left the world that he grew up in and their way of operating and he started to operate like God.
He didn't start out poor because when he left he left with substance and servants.
You can gain in the world.
Rupert Murdock is rich, you can be secular and reap millions.
But Abraham chose to go with God.
Abraham got up and left all of that twisted thinking behind.
I know by the spirit of God that someone is ready to leave this world's way of thinking today.
I know that you have been reading the word and hearing the word and the Lord has opened up your understanding.
You haven't been in a religion all of your life going in circles.
You want to do like Abraham did and trust God and leave all that is in the world that doesn't honor Him behind and go to the place that He has prepared for you.
You are already wealthy by monetary standards but you know that God has a better plan for you than the one that you are living in right now.
Come to Jesus.
Make Him the Lord and master of your life.
You don't lack for any material thing right now but spiritually you are starving, you have looked to homosexuality and promiscuity to fill the void in your life and it hasn't.
You have looked to drugs and alcohol to fill the void in your life and it has failed as well.
You have looked to life coaches and spiritual gurus to help fill the void and they have all failed.
You have loved ones who have walked out on you because you are lost in your own mind.
God will not walk out on you, but you have to come to Him.
Jesus Christ is the way to clear your mind and to regain your soul by giving your life to Him you will step into the true riches.
The Bible says that if you confess with your mouth Jesus Christ as Lord that you shall be saved.
Confess your sins to God this day and make a decision to turn from them.
Invite Jesus into your heart and life and ask Him to lead you through His word.
Get you a Bible today, open it up and go to Romans 10:8,9,10
Go to Bible Gateway.com and type them in.
Judgment is real and this is the beginning of making a judgment that will save your life and make you fit to stand on the side with God when Jesus comes to reprove the world.
Because He is coming.
Just and Right is He.
Love Y'all
