Do people have the Spirit of Jesus or of the Accuser…?

Do people have the Spirit of Jesus or of the Accuser…?

 

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them...Matthew 7:15-20.

 

If all they do is accuse you of not being good enough…if all they remind you of is your unworthiness….if all they do is accuse you of not being Christian…then are they Christians themselves…yes or no? The accuser is always accusing you of having a speck in your eye…and offer no way to remove it!

 

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholds thou the mote (speck of dust) that is in thy brother's eye, but considers not the beam (log) that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote (speck of imperfection) out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam (large imperfection) is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam (large imperfection) out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote (speck) out of thy brother's eye. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you...Matthew 7:2-6.

 

So even if you are a Christian…stop being a spectator beholding the speck in another’s eyes instead offer encouragement on how to change and be better. It is easy to point out flaws but which is better and not bitter…pointing out flaws or offering an encouragement of how to do better. I mean if a brother blasts you for your behavior saying repent…but offers no prescription on how to do or be better then what has he done but be an accuser. So if you tear down a sister or brother do not forget to build up on how to overcome. If you do not personally know how to overcome…then it would be of none concern of you. Jesus said get it out of your eye then you can help others get the speck out their eye.

 

Prayer

Father please give me the fix…the prescription remedy and cure for my soul’s deepest needs of freedom from this world…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

What is the Royal Law in Scripture?

What is the Royal Law in Scripture?

 

Howbeit if ye fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well: but if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors. For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is become guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but kill (murder) thou art become a transgressor of the law. So speak ye, and so do, as men that are to be judged by a law of liberty...James 2:8-12.

 

Jesus said as it is written…

And one of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, What commandment is the first of all? Jesus answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God, the Lord is one: and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. The second is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. And the scribe said unto him, Of a truth, Teacher, thou hast well said that he is one; and there is none other but he: and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is much more than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices. And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question...Mark 12:28-34.

 

Treat everyone like Jesus and be blessed…

Servants, be obedient unto them that according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; not in the way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; with good will doing service, as unto the Lord, and not unto men: knowing that whatsoever good thing each one doeth, the same shall he receive again from the Lord, whether he be bond or free. And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, and forbear threatening: knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no respect of persons with him...Ephesians 6:5-9.

 

In Jesus life as a Jew…He said Love God first and your neighbor second…After His death burial and resurrection…the Holy Spirit inspired with the same Authority as Jesus in the book of James…to kept the royal law of love your neighbor as yourself. Then in Ephesians the Holy Spirit tells us if we treat everyone even a mean slave master as Jesus we will receive the same good we have judged. So treat everyone like Jesus as your neighbor and really the only difference between Jesus we read about and the Jesus which sits in the throne is distance and sight. So if you treat Jesus like Jesus, Him being God and others like Jesus you are fulfilling the royal law love your neighbor as yourself. So treat everyone like baby Jesus and ask what does baby Jesus need and how can I give it to Him?

 

Prayer

Father please forgive us of all our past judgements and help us to treat everyone like Jesus so we can fulfill the one true law love your neighbor as yourself and I know You are the best neighbor even though only distance is between us…IN Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Have you obeyed The Only Son of God which became man and died for you so you could made cleansed and right with God our Creator? Yes or no?

Have you obeyed The Only Son of God which became man and died for you so you could made cleansed and right with God our Creator? Yes or no?


And Jesus cried and said, He that believes on Me (obeys), believes not on Me, but on Him that sent Me. And he that beholds Me beholds Him that sent Me. I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believes on me may not abide in the darkness. And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejects Me, and receives not my sayings, hath one that judges him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day...(Joh 12:44-48) If any man comes unto Me, and hates not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Whosoever doth not bear his own cross (burden of obeying Jesus for eternal life), and come after Me, cannot be my disciple...(Luk 14:26-27) Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that comes to Me shall not hunger, and he that believes on Me shall never thirst...(Joh 6:35)


Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed Him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free...(Joh 8:31-32) All things have been delivered unto Me of my Father: and no one knows the Son, save the Father; neither does any know the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son wills to reveal Him. Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke (The New Agreement between God and Creation called The New Testament of Christ) upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek (obedient) and lowly (humble) in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light...(Mat 11:27-30)



Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently: having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and abides. For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls: But the word of the Lord abides for ever. And this is the word of good tidings which was preached unto you...(1Pe 1:22-25) Whosoever goes onward and abides not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God: he that abides in the teaching (lives obedient to Jesus teachings), the same hath both the Father and the Son. If any one comes unto you, and brings not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and give him no greeting: for he that gives him greeting partakes in his evil works. (2Jn 1:9-11)


And when the day of Pentecost was now come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them tongues parting asunder, like as of fire; and it sat upon each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance...(Act 2:1-4) And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him...(Act 2:38-39) And we have the word of prophecy made more sure; where unto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts: knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation (not man's opinion nor from the mind of a man) For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit...(2Pe 1:19-21)


And afterward He was manifested unto the eleven themselves as they sat at meat; and he upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them that had seen him after he was risen...(from the dead after being crucified) And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieves (does not obey) shall be condemned. And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken unto them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen. (Mar 16:14-20)


Will you be baptized for the forgiveness or remission of your sins? Yes or no?


Have you been baptized to obey Jesus for salvation? Yes or no?



Pray with me...?


Father please meet our souls deepest needs so we can become Holy like You and Your only Human Fathered Son Jesus...please keep us and reveal the truth to us so we too can become right with You...In Jesus of Nazareth's name amen.
