True Shepherd's lead us to obedience! (2001)
There is a clear difference between "lively" stones, and happiness seekers who go to looking a building once a week to feel good (dead religion)! I have been part of dead religion and grew up in it and have felt the "sting" of religious hypocrisy. I went to church, called myself a Christian, but I would have been one Jesus said, "depart from me, you who work iniquity..... lawlessness, (having no relationship with nor desire to yield to the Holy Ghost), I never knew you." "You didn't talk to me about how you felt, what you thought, and you didn't care about how I felt or what I thought." So he would have said to me, "I don't know you. And you didn't really care about knowing Me." Being lawless, self-willed a governor creating my own kingdom, of control, with satan's help. I just wanted to be happy, I went to church to feel good, IT WAS NOT MY FOOD TO DO HIS WILL. It's not what turned me on.
We should be able to make a clear distinction between what the Remnant
is, and what false religion is. We should be able to know pharisaical
religion the worksof the flesh, and who won't enter the Kingdom of God.
"Those who are the servants of sin, are the slaves of sin, and the slave
won't partake of the inheritance." Who are we really serving in the deep
motivation of our soul. Our song, our legacy is being written each day we live.
I think Eps. 4 is a clear definition of God's Government, established in His
Kingdom, and His Body on the earth. I have seen so many problems, divisions,
schisms, in bodies where the people fail to speak the truth in love, seeing,
believing we are members one of another, and we really keep each other from
growing up. This is threatening to our flesh, our kingdom, our getting the
praise of men. (which is a total illusion, for only a woman who fears the Lord shall be praised.) Women looking to men to feel good, will always feel the sting of it eventually....... it bites like an adder. As a matter of fact, when we withhold truth because we may endure conflict or risk getting our needs and acceptance from men, we end up failing to build the kingdom in others lives.
If we really have entered into His labors, then His labor's are SOULS SAVED
AND SOULS KEPT. His little garden, are the hearts and souls of those that
surround us. And when we don't labor for the Lord in the hearts of those around us, we by DEFAULT, labor for the WRONG KINGDOM. JESUS prayed that we would be one, and do what is right with each other, that the world would see and beleive HE LIVES by THE WAY WE LOVE OUR HUSBANDS, CHILDREN and His friends, our friends. For some reason we think love is hard but the truth is CONTROL IS HARD, and giving up CONTROL takes! We are all called to be seed planters, and weed pullers. I do believe
their is a direct relationship to loving God and each other, and they go
handin hand. A person cannot say he Loves God and hates his
brother......looks down on. THE ONLY WAY WE PASS FROM DEATH UNTO
LIFE......John says, is by loving the brethren! 1John 2
I have come to REDEFINE if you will, the definition of love in my own life!
It's getting out of my little kingdom, and fearing God more than man, and
being willing to give my gift, which is honesty and sincerity. And even if
I'm wrong in my openness, at least I can be corrected. Men still love
darkness more than light, and won't come into the light......we really fear
speaking the truth in love, but lying to each other will never move us into
"lively stones" that are being built together. I may "overemphasize this in
your eyes, but to me it is the cause of much tragedy and darkness......mold
grows in darkness.
Lev.19:17, Ps. 15 and 24, Prvb.24:12, I think there is one in Hosea 4 that
talks about God judging them because they were too fearful to reprove each
other too. Is. 8 in the Amp. Bible gives a clear definition of the fear of
man making The Heart of God sad. And to me if the gospel of the Kingdom is a
real government that rules the hearts of men, then we are bound to follow
the established government of love and faith, being led by the Holy Spirit,
not by fear of man, and being shutup kids so we can get what we need from
each other. (which again is an illusion, we never do get our needs met by being self pleaser's, which is really what a man pleaser is, a self pleaser!) I followed the leading of the wrong government in my soul for many years......and I see how I wasted my gift and really was a wicked, and fearful servant.
I hope this may help you to understand me a little better. It's hard to get
to really know people from words typed in front of them. I have seen "the
fear of man" bring a tremendous snare to many souls. And we end up Jer.17
ourselves. "Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes the arm of flesh
it's strength." I lived under a curse because of Pride, which made me a
liar, and I really cared about people accepting me, more than I did about
loving their souls. I have since repented.....changed my mind. And I have
seen God come through for me, and those I love in a powerful way when people
are really willing to take on faith to obey Eps. 4. It took a long time for
me to get deathly honest with my motives, and take a look at why I was
unwilling to put away lying and speak the truth in love. It was a lot easier
for me to be a glutton,(with junk food and eating at the devils table in the
spirit of my mind.) I did stick my head in the sand, and overeat,rather
than take on faith to behonest and sincere, knowing that this is what God
honors. AND THAT GOD WOULD HONOR ME FOR CARING ABOUT GLORIFYING HIM!
Just think about what Jesus said, "those who deny me before men, them will I deny before God in Heaven." THAT'S DEEP. How many times do you deny the Lord by shutting up, not telling the truth, not being open and honest? How many times do you deny the Lord by being PRIDEFUL, rather than humble and truthful? Do you even get it that you are DENYING THE LORD, when you refuse to tell the TRUTH? Jesus is truth, God seeks those who will worship Him in Spirit and Truth. Will you be denied before God, BY JESUS, because of all the times YOU DENIED THE HOLY GHOST, by shutting up, hiding, lying?
I even had a vision one time while I was praying where Jesus was weeping as
He spoke to me, telling me how sad He was that I buried my gift due to fear
of man. It is hard for Him to use lying pretenders, and I think a move of
true repentance in this area, is beginning to happen, to the Glory of God
the Father! There is even a scripture in my Aramaic Bible that says, "When a
man is inactive, he imagines lust and mocks good instruction." I think being
inactive in being honest and sincere with those we love......GOD INCLUDED,
is a big source of the cause of being given over to our lusts!......living in a state of worldly, lust, carnal, drunkenness! (speaking from my own revelation).
Love, Ceci
