For my sisters and brothers Walking and Living by faith In the name of Jesus, we have our instructions of how to live with each other.
Each Step Is A Blessing
I have learned that The Light and Love of our Lord that Lives within my heart, and shines forth All the time, bothers a lot of people. And Jesus said all this would happen, so it surprises me not one bit when it does happen.
I have learned that as I-( & others called and chosen by God like me), am obedient to the Guidance of the Spirit of God & and not people, many that are not honest and truthful and are not serious about their Walk with our Lord, not serious about their Spiritual life, Not serious about growing and maturing their Relationship with Jesus, avoid Him in me.
What they fail to understand is that, I do not seek any human approval and never will. I am living to Please God In the name of Jesus, so when others have a problem with Who I Work for, that is for them to deal with. I always say a prayer asking the Holy Spirit to touch that persons heart and open their eyes In the name of Jesus.
People like this will only want to be around other people like them. You know, those that simply want to 'Look like' they are His children and/or stay in the shallow part of life with Him. Each Step Is A Blessing
Some have not been taught in a correct manner about God's truth, others are just following what they see other people or their Pastor in their group doing. They do not really read the Bible for themselves, they don't spend quiet time in prayer and listening to God. People who are stuck in the midst of Spiritual transitions of growth and maturity Are so, because of many different reasons.
They are revealed to us through His Truth, and sadly they try to run and hide. But they cannot hide from God!
The condition of their hearts is seen, Though they think they are hiding their true selves from us, God always reveals to us what we need to know, when we need to know it! Thank You Jesus!
There are times when all we can do is deliver the message, plant the seeds the Lord wants us to, and leave certain people alone. Don't take anything personal, it's really not about us.
Each Step Is A Blessing
When folk reject the Truth God wants them to know, and they tell themselves lies/excuses and then they believe those lies, we have nothing to do with that. Here is a point, where they have to realize that they are running form God's truth. Their rejection of me or Him through me Hinders me none! What I am to do, I have done.
Sometimes, they refuse to Face the truth about what in them needs to be changed by the Lord, to stop saying one thing and doing another in opposite to what God's will is for them.
Another thing, walking and working with God's Spirit and His Will freely every day, takes time, effort and a desire to keep working on your relationship with our Lord, no matter what or how long it takes.
You will meet some that keep saying that they know this or that, and they are doing what they are suppose too, but they always seems to have little self-control and are attracted to so much worldly stuff and ways. Their actions do not match their words.
When folk push you away, reject/avoid you or ignore you because you remind them of God's Truth, and/or because of some unknown to you- fears, jealousy, envy, or hate that they live by; Do not worry about being rejected, do not fret over their treatment of you, forgive them and leave them in the Hands of our Lord, Keep Jesus between you and Every one and Every thing, so they do you no harm and you do them none.
Remember, God cuts folk back out of your life because, what they are doing or will do, May Very well bring you down and/or hinder your Walk. If these people come back by God's leading it Will be Good for God's Glory, if God cuts them totally out of your life, It Will Be Good for God's Glory!
I encourage you To Stay Obedient to the Lord, Stay in a Space of Unconditional Forgiveness and of Grace concerning others, You are not living to please them anyway,
Remember, we are Suppose to be Living to Please and Obey our Father in the name of Jesus, not other people. We are justified, approved of and live a Spirit led life; not an emotionally led, pride filled, ego stroking life seeking the approval and acceptance of people.
Each Step Is A Blessing
We are Following the Life of Jesus, to be changed day by day into His Character.
Called, Chosen and Separated by the Love and Will of God to be His children, His servants, His leaders, and prophets, teachers and preachers...Not To conform to This world and it's ways...
"Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons (children) of God."
Matthew 5:9
"Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."
Colossians 3:13
Life & death are in your tongue/mouth.... you shall eat the fruit of your words.
Speak life=Receive life.
Speak truth =Receive truth.
Speak peace=Receive peace.
Speak fear= Receive fear,
Speak Faith & Strength= Receive Faith and Strength,
Speak death=Receive death.. And so forth.....
It's not as hard as folk make it out to be...in fact, it's not hard at all... what ever lives in your heart, your heart loves, and your mouth will speak it out. your mind will think on it...
To Change the way you think, and speak Change what your heart loves! Each Step Is A Blessing
I started this learning with Ezekiel chapter 3. Then the Spirit lead me to these teachings=
Proverbs 4...
5Get skillful and godly Wisdom, get understanding (discernment, comprehension, and interpretation); do not forget and do not turn back from the words of my mouth.
6Forsake not [Wisdom], and she will keep, defend, and protect you; love her, and she will guard you.
7The beginning of Wisdom is: get Wisdom (skillful and godly Wisdom)! [For skillful and godly Wisdom is the principal thing.] And with all you have gotten, get understanding (discernment, comprehension, and interpretation).
23Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.
24Put away from you false and dishonest speech, and willful and contrary talk put far from you.
AND=
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things.
Because=
I John 4
6We are [children] of God. Whoever is learning to know God [progressively to perceive, recognize, and understand God by observation and experience, and to [get an ever-clearer knowledge of Him] listens to us; and he who is not of God does not listen or pay attention to us. By this we know (recognize) the Spirit of Truth and the spirit of error.
7Beloved, let us love one another, for love is (springs) from God; and he who loves [his fellowmen] is begotten (born) of God and is coming [progressively] to know and understand God [to perceive and recognize and get a better and clearer knowledge of Him].
8He who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love.
Each Step Is A Blessing
