PARTIALITY

HALLELUJAH!

To my brothers and sisters In Christ who love me and pray for me, please don't worry about me. No man has hurt me nor can they, and any disappointment that I have experienced The LORD has long since brought me past it.

No man can come against me because I speak of Christ, so anything that tries to come against me is coming against Christ and it's hard to kick against the pricks.
Amen.

I couldn't write what I do with a grieved or bitter heart filled with strife, the Word is hidden in my heart and that is what will come out.
I love y'all and more than anything I ask that you pray for those who come against God's truth and that the LORD would help them and open their eyes.

So :)

The Word asks the question in James 3:13
Who is a wise man and filled with knowledge among you? let him show out of a good conversation (lifestyle) his works with meekness of wisdom.
[Wisdom develops humility.]

James is teaching how the heart tames the tongue and how The Word tames the heart.

The Word of God hidden in the heart can tame the tongue.
Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

King David said, Thy Word Lord have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against thee.

James says, "No man" can tame the tongue.
That means that your pastor can't tame your tongue.

Your momma can't tame your tongue only the Word of God by the Holy Spirit can tame the tongue.

It's not something that we can try our hardest to do, we have to be filled with God's Spirit in order to do this.
That was one of the reasons The Comforter was sent on the day of Pentecost to help men tame their tongue and speak as the Spirit wills and not as the man wills.
Amen.

We bless God with it (shouting Hallelujah!) and then go on to try and curse man with it
which are made in the image and likeness of God. (saying, God is not for you!)

James said, This ought not be the case.

But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition (strife) in your hearts, don't boast about it or deny the truth.
(There is no place for the Word of God to be hidden in a heart that is crowded with such things)

This wisdom does not come down from heaven but is earthly, nonspiritual, of the devil.
For wherever you have envy and selfish ambition, there will be confusion (disorder) and every evil practice.

Let's look at something over in Luke 18 where the Lord Jesus is teaching.
The LORD is speaking to some who were confident of their own righteousness (works) and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable:

Two men went up into the temple to pray; The one a Pharisee ( one of a religious group that prided themselves on their good works and were bitter enemies of Jesus Christ and His cause, in turn they were severely rebuked by The LORD for their ambition and hollow reliance on outward works, and affection of piety in order to gain popularity.), and the other a publican (a collector of taxes/ politician) .

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, GOD, I THANK THEE, THAT I AM NOT AS OTHER MEN ARE, EXTORTIONERS, UNJUST, ADULTERERS, OR EVEN AS THIS PUBLICAN!

( GOD I THANK YOU THAT WHEN I SAY THAT I WILL OBEY, I DO)
REALLY?

So when God said not to return evil for evil,
you did?

When God said not to meddle in affairs that are not your own, you did?

When you rely on your goodness you put your self in a position that if you are not faithful in little it means that you are not faithful in much.
And under the law of works when you haven't been faithful in little you have been guilty of all.

Okay

I laugh when I study this passage because I can just imagine this guy standing next to the politician in confidence and it's sad.
The rich young ruler had the same attitude, He felt like he was righteous based in his deeds.
This young man believed that he had been willing and obedient, but he wasn't a believer at all.

We see this today in our time and age, it's and sad.
Everybody believes that they are better than the next man.

Jesus will be hard pressed to find humility or faith when He comes back unless people hear this Word for real.

High, mighty and connected goes on to say,
I FAST TWICE A WEEK AND I GIVE TITHES OF ALL THAT I POSSESS!
(and he is still stuck on slow)

And the publican, standing a far off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but beat his chest and said, God be merciful to me, a sinner.

(Can you find a politician who has raised taxes for one thing and then actually followed all the way through with what the taxes were supposed to be for?)
Lottery and schools and the schools are closing.

Raising money for ministry and then when a city block burns down where is it at?
When the levies break where are the multimillion dollar book sales who come in and raise up a standard.

I ain't talking about Oprah and Brad Pitt.
The Ambassador's for Christ are the standard.
Support people who are doing God's work.

Side trail, I said that I would not endorse men so I am not going to endorse men.
I will give honor where to all men where honor is due.

I will endorse a woman.
Joyce Meyer and her ministry has made it possible for you to share in taking the gospel of love to every part of this world and even made it convenient by being able to sow by automatic debit.
Now some folks may have an issue with that, God Bless and help them.

If you can have a DVD by mail account that automatically receives from your account ten dollars a month, surely ten dollars a month is worth carrying Bibles to those who don't know Christ and clothing, feeding, and building In His Name.

I'm not angry or standing on a soap box or bringing condemnation or calling anyone out, so don't film a commercial or e-mail me ,send me a letter or anything else telling folks how great you are to prove anything to me or anyone else.

Lord knows I have no need to prove anything to any man nor any man need prove anything to me, We are all beholding unto God.

I'm not telling you where to sow, pray and get instruction from the Father.
My family has supported the work in that ministry.
I'm just saying sow into good ground.

If you know what you are doing is of God then God knows it's right and he will back it,
therefore no other opinion matters.
That's my motto.

So Jesus said about the publican/ politician: (pray fervently for the politicians please)
I tell you, this man (The publican, the one who knew that his character was questionable), went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalts himself shall be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

Do you believe that God would take His promise away because you lack integrity?

He didn't take the promise away from King David when his integrity lacked.

He didn't take the promise away from Abraham when his integrity lacked.

The promise was integrity and it came in the person of Jesus Christ.
You are not merely relying on your own raggedy integrity, you have humbled yourself under the mighty hand of God and the integrity of His Son.

Abraham and David, they where humble before the LORD.

You have been preserved and sealed with The Holy Spirit of God.
Can you see more how God is not partial because that would make Him a hypocrite?
God is not a man.

Look at how He sent one offering for all men so that no man could say,
" My ram is cleaner than yours is!"

God is not partial, men are.
James 2:8-11: James 3:1-18
Acts 2:1-4
Luke 12:1-3; Luke 18:9-14

This is not too much Word.
You can never have too much Word.

LOVE Y'ALL
