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.

Some people are like quicksand...

We must recover some from the devil’s snare with the truth but not get snared…

 

Develop a Character fit for teaching God’s truth…

And the Lord's servant must not strive (be contentious), but be gentle towards all, apt (able) to teach, forbearing (being patient), in meekness (obedience) correcting them that oppose themselves (reprove or rebuke); if peradventure (perhaps) God may give them (grant) repentance unto the knowledge of the truth, and they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him unto his will...2 Timothy 2:24-26.

…To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable (refuses to come to Christ way to be cleansed), and disobedient (rebellious), and unto every good work reprobate (without faithfulness)...Titus 1:15-16.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places...Ephesians 6:12.

…but shun (avoid…stay away from) foolish questionings (capable of choosing but ask questions instead of choosing to obey the truth), and genealogies, and strife, and fighting (quarrelling…debating) about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. A factious (heretic…sows division) man after a first and second admonition refuse; knowing that such a one is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned...Titus 3:9-11.

 

If they are not a Christian then we are teaching those caught up in the devil’s doctrine how to untangle themselves from the lies they have been taught through philosophies or their heritage or their teachers...

In the above scriptures…we see people are carried away by forces or teachers that are controlling them…and as a teacher or Christian which cares about their soul, we must reprove them without erring in obedience to the truth. Christians believe the words from scriptures are pure and must be held in the highest esteem even obeyed through the point of death. Many do not believe the words from the New Testament are pure and inspired or are from God Himself. We must develop a character which remains pure while leading other to the truth of God’s word.

 

Prayer

Father please create my conscience and renew the truth in me help me to be obedient not rebellious or silly…please meet my soul’s deepest needs for not being a heretic or false teacher but a faithful Christian…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Do not judge but teach better...

The child of God…said do not judge me but help me be better

And do not judge others, so that you yourself will not be judged in any way. Do not condemn others, so that you will not be condemned in any way. Forgive, and you shall be forgiven. Give, and it shall be given to you. Good measure, pressed down and shaken together and running over, shall they give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you mete out, it shall be measured again to you." Then He spoke a parable to them, saying, "Is a blind man able to lead a blind man? Will not both fall into the ditch?... (Luk 6:37-39)


There is only One Door into Heaven…

…For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ so that each one may receive according to the things done in his body—what he has practiced, whether good or evil… (2Co 5:10)


Have you ever met Jesus in judgment…

…But the cowardly, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death. (Rev 21:8 AFV)


Prayer

Father please meet our soul's deepest needs and search us to see our souls deepest needs for You, Your Son, and the Holy Spirit...we know we will never hunger and thirst because we believe in Jesus...in Jesus of Nazareth's name amen.
