A RESPECT FOR GOD AND HIS SON JESUS CHRIST
This is the beginning of wisdom.
Let's lift up The Father this morning and give Him glory and honor and praise!
Father we worship You and magnify Your Name and we Thank You for loving us and never leaving us and hearing us when we call.
Thank You for being a Father who nurtures and guides and watches over our mind, will, and emotions, keeping us in all our ways.
We Love You.
Amen
My nine year old son asked me, "If God made me, who made God?"
I told Him that, God Is and that He always existed.
My son said, "Oh, there was nothing before Him."
He said it like he understood it immediately and he had no more questions concerning that.
That's right (Ju Ju) Kevin Jr. there is nothing before God because there was nothing before Him.
Father as a nine year old places nothing before you or above you, so do I.
Let's look at some Monday morning Proverbs.
Hallelujah!
The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honor is humility.
Proverbs 15:33
By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.
Proverbs 22:4
The fear of the LORD prolongeth days...
Proverbs 10:27a
Faith and life is in respecting and honoring God the Father.
In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and His children shall have a place of refuge.
The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
Proverbs 14:26,27
Revering and respecting the Father for who He is produces riches, honor, prolonged life, and refuge.
I pray that you all come to esteem the Father for who He is.
This is the best place to be in the midst of the perilous times because the times are not going to improve, they are going to be perilous, The Bible teaches us this.
We will not avoid every tragedy, but through our trust in The Father we can come through them victoriously.
The safest place to be in the middle of the peril is esteeming God The Father.
How in the middle of my child dying do I lift God above it?
How in the middle of losing my job do I lift God above it?
How in the middle of a divorce do I lift God, I can't even lift my head?
How in the middle of being wrong as two left shoes do I lift God above it?
How do I keep going when people say that I will be left by the side of the road?
Because I have a relationship with God The Father.
We sometimes as people place every relationship on the planet above the one we have with the One who made us and this should not be.
The devil is not afraid of millions upon millions of people who profess to be Christians, he's not moved by a gang.
What the devil fears is one man walking in love and relationship with God.
Adam, Enoch, Moses, Abraham, and Jesus walked and talked with God.
One man walking by the Spirit and not the flesh puts the fear of God in satan.
If you haven't laid carnal down, you are no threat to the enemy and it doesn't matter who you are.
We live in a world that has little if any respect for God, His Will, Way or Word.
We would rather try and gather respect of men for our selves when the plan of God for our lives would gather His esteem and when He is pleased all things work.
We have church goers who don't honor the Lord.
Yes, ain't no honoring God if ain't no loving your brother according to 1 John 4:21.
Let's not neglect to teach that portion of disobedience and rebellion.
Is it because we hate knowledge or because most would rather please the carnal man than the spirit man?
It's easier on the flesh to be mad, stubborn and stupid than it is to humble our self and love folks.
It's easier on the spirit to do what the Word of God instructs all of us to do.
Do you remember when you first began to revere God for real?
Not when you got saved, or joined a church or started serving.
When you began to walk by the spirit and not by the flesh.
Get back to that place if you have left it.
Revelation 2:1-7
Was it because someone made you do it or talked you into it?
Was it because you knew in your spirit that it was pleasing to God to do so?
Romans 8:8 says, they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Hebrews 11:6 says, ... without faith it is impossible to please God.
I would rather please God than any man.
Galatians 1:10
So what I see here is that when we respond and live in the manner of the flesh we are on the outside of faith, which isn't pleasing to God.
You still think faith is blind walking?
You walking by faith, not by sight?
It means that what you do see will not stop you from going.
It means that opposition doesn't stop faith from going forward.
What you don't see won't have an effect on you.
It's what you do see that has the potential to slow you up.
It's what it looks like that gets you over into fear.
It looks like if you don't work for IBM you won't make it in the world, so says IBM.
What did God tell you!
It looks like you won't have a baby or graduate or mend that relationship.
It looks like it's good for food, and pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise...
Walking by faith means that even when they hate you, you love them.
Yea, though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, you will fear no evil: for God is with you; His rod and his staff comfort you.
That lump in your armpit is real it ain't unseen.
That urinalysis is real.
That blood test is real.
You see the valley, it ain't hidden.
Those bills are real!
You see the disdain, you see the mountain, you see the storm, the wind and the waves, you are not oblivious to it, you feel the pain, and you cried the tears but because you trust God, you are a love walker, a Word talker and a Name taker.
An overcomer honey!
Noah moved with fear (respect and esteem for God), and prepared an ark to the saving of his house.
How is it that some lose respect for God when they don't get their way?
Because when you react out of the flesh, respect for the Father is NOT there.
How is it that some don't lose respect for God even in trial?
Jesus Christ, who this is all about, demonstrated this.
He could have shut it all down, He could have taken pains to defend accusations and hinder paths but He didn't come for that.
He came to heal the sick and save the lost and He knew that whatever He came up against, God would not forsake Him.
Death included.
Before I knew that God would never leave me, the wolves might of had me, the devil might of had me questioning God about all sorts of things, but now I know.
I don't even have to ask why anymore, because I know from His Word who He is and what He will do.
I have lost respect for a lot a people in my life, I done lost respect for a couple this week alone, but I revere and respect God no matter what.
Not just because, but because I know that He first loved me.
I have a relationship with The Father, I know His character and He knows mines.
Once you know the character of your Father, nobody, no circumstance, or situation can tell you different.
Genesis 3
Dear friends,
Please come to know the Father for who He is, it is His soul desire to see you in His kingdom, to dwell in His house forever.
Only God can restore your soul.
Proverbs 4:3-9
Consider these things.
Love Y'all :)
