Many turn away from God in their mind first, then it shows in their living. Self starts to rely on self and, or others. The soul begins to live according to the flesh. They hear self by yielding to devils whispering in their ear, and through using others—many then put their trust in self and, or in others. Oh what a dangerous place to be! And a very deep hole to get out of. Don’t turn back to your vomit. Pastors, this goes for you too. If you gonna be God’s, be His. The pulpit is not yours, the people belong to God. Don’t get the big head. Don’t be asking for amens, and claps and don’t desire to hear “good sermon”. You are God’s servant, His watchmen—all glory is to God. We can do nothing without God.
Let us by faith choose to give up self to God completely, totally holding on to nothing; give up self-will to the will of God—totally upon God, trusting His every word. Let us behold Him in daily in His Word, and He will change us through His Holy Spirit He puts in us. We will all become changed. We just have to by faith move out of our way, let go and let God. God never fails. HalleluYah!
I pray you, we choose by faith to speak and do right glorifying God, teaching, preaching the gospel—righteousness by faith: The Three Angels messages. If you, we are filled with the Holy Spirit; you, we shall go forth living, teaching, preaching the gospel of Christ with authority and power in Jesus name.
Hear God, take heed His Word:
“Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.
A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary. O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now.
As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before thee.
Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil. Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.”
Jeremiah 17:5-18 KJV
