Let Me Show You Something Today

1 Corinthians 2:13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

I know I offend; I know I carry many labels spoken of me in secret among those that know me. I know my testimony before Christ may weaken their faith in Christ, but sadly those are the lost that do not understand grace, and many are eternally lost in religion. When you truly don’t understand sin, and the forgiveness of it, you don’t understand what Jesus did for us. I grew up in religion, and still today see the hypocrisy of the religious as likely Satan’s greatest victory in the war for eternal souls. Many of us who call ourselves Christians live two lives; one for all this world can give us, and one put a false hope in a label of Christianity because we prayed a prayer and returned to sin. Regardless of my inability or desire to judge, regardless of your viewpoint, we ALL will bow before the same One who will set our eternity upon the decisions and actions of this life. Philippians 2:10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

The fix for the heart, the truth for the hypocrite, the security for eternity that your heart desire is the Word of God available to you. It is not a life of Sundays put together; it is not a life counting of a heavenly scale of good and evil; it is not once prayer and never returning to God again; it is ALL in your hearts desire to draw closer to God through prayer and his Word (the Bible). If you want to live as a Christian, if you want your life to change, true change begins with Jesus, and sanctification begins in his Word. Jesus gives you his Holy Spirit that will bring new meaning to the Bible you once read. Teachers will enlighten scriptures you have already been given understanding to by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is who teaches you about God, through any medium he chooses, but it is ALWAYS confirmed in God’s Word. If you hear or feel led to something that you cannot find is true, or even worse confirm that it is false, that is Satan disguised as an angel of light seeking to deceive you. There are many wolves in sheep’s clothing in grand pulpits among us today.

Paul writes in the second chapter of Corinthians of a heart that seeks God; of someone who sees the simplicity in Jesus, not the eloquence of the Pharisee. Paul was highly educated and could have by his words persuaded anyone, yet he rested on what Jesus had completed, and the simplicity of those that will seek him with all their heart. He wrote of the gift and work of the Holy Spirit to a generation that did not even have the New Testament. We are blessed by so much of God’s work through Jesus Christ now in written form. The Spirit has so much to reveal to those that seek him; why do we not seek him daily with the blessing that lies in our homes? You cannot imagine how your life will change when the Bible becomes alive to you. You will not care about what people think, only what Jesus thinks. You will have an expectancy of hearing from him each morning that will pull you out of bed. You can’t wait to hear from God, and that tug you feel is him saying, “Good morning. Let me show you something today.”
