THANK YOU LORD JESUS.
I'M STILL DOING WHAT THE LORD TOLD ME TO DO.
The LORD wants me to visit verses today spoken from Him.
Jesus is preparing the disciples and His followers for His coming death.
Mark 8:31-38
31 And He began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
(YES!)
32 And he spake saying openly. And Peter took Him, and began to rebuke Him.
33 But when He turned about and looked on His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, satan: for you savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
34 And when He called the people unto Him with His disciples also, He said unto them,
Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 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.
36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.
Get thee behind me, satan: for you savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
Whosoever shall be ashamed (disconnect Christ from the teaching, to devalue what Christ has said and replace it with the opinion, theory and psychology of men) in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.
Whosoever will deny Christ before men, Him will He deny before the Father.
In Proverbs 30 a prophetic prayer is recorded, The Words of Agur that say:
Every Word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him.
Add you not to His Words, lest He reprove you, and you be found a liar.
Two things have I required of you; deny me them not before I die:
Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
Lest I be full, and deny you, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal and take the Name of my God in vain.
We live in a time where what Jesus said is becoming less and less acknowledged in churches than it is in the streets.
There is no power apart from Him.
Just meditate this today in preparation for tomorrow.
Malachi 2:7-9
Romans 1:18-32
Romans 2:-23
The Apostle is not talking to the lost, He is talking to those who God gave the Word to and the assignment to take it to the world.
He is talking to the people who are supposed to dress the ground and keep it.
Study it out and if you are a pastor, preacher, evangelist, prophet or teacher this letter that Paul wrote in Romans is to you.
Pick up your cross and follow Christ.
Amen
LOVE Y'ALL :)
You believe that you are a doer of the word for your outward acts but don't you know that God is not going to judge your outward acts?
ReplyDeleteGod is going to judge the secrets in your heart.
You are convinced that you are superior, that you are a giver and your giving makes you righteous. You brag about souls won and you are the reason that God's name is a ball of confusion among the lost. You bring guilt and condemantion and not God's Word.
What will you give in exchange for your soul?
ReplyDeleteWill you stop robbong God and follow Jesus?
The rich young ruler walked away grieved.
