Romans 13:14
King James Version
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and make not provision for the flesh,
to fulfil the lusts thereof.
It's not by accident SPIRIT and I created this blog.
PRIEST from JUDA was by GOD's design.
We wanted to show you that JESUS is the pattern for PERFECT priesthood.
1 Corinthians 3:11
King James Version
11 For other foundation can no man lay
than that is laid,
which is Jesus Christ.
That's why, there is no excuse, to sin.
If we are holding the BANNER of CHRIST, we must be beyond reproach.
We cannot hold GOD's HOLY BIBLE, from filthy hands.
We cannot speak GOD's HOLY WORD, from a filthy heart.
We cannot speak about JESUS' HOLINESS, from a filthy mind.
How can we?
SPIRIT and Satan don't mix.
John 3:6
King James Version
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Galatians 5:17
King James Version
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit,
and the Spirit against the flesh:
and these are contrary the one to the other:
so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
As minister, and mirror, for CHRIST, we must be FULLY in CHRIST.
The Bible speaks against hypocrisy:
Isaiah 29:15
King James Version
15 Woe unto them that seek deep
to hide their counsel from the Lord,
and their works are in the dark,
and they say,
Who seeth us?
and who knoweth us?
Psalm 50:16
King James Version
16 But unto the wicked God saith,
What hast thou to do to declare my statutes,
or that thou shouldest take my covenant
in thy mouth?
Luke 12:2
King James Version
2 For there is nothing covered,
that shall not be revealed;
neither hid,
that shall not be known.
Matthew 7:22-23
King James Version
22 Many will say to me in that day,
Lord, Lord,
have we not prophesied in thy name?
and in thy name have cast out devils?
and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them,
I never knew you:
depart from me,
ye that work iniquity.
Matthew 23:27-28
King James Version
27 Woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites!
for ye are like unto whited sepulchres,
which indeed appear beautiful outward,
but are within full of dead men's bones,
and of all uncleanness.
28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men,
but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
1 Corinthians 9:27
King James Version
27 But I keep under my body,
and bring it into subjection:
lest that by any means,
when I have preached to others,
I myself should be a castaway.
Hebrews 10:26
King James Version
26 For if we sin wilfully
after that we have received the knowledge of the truth,
there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
2 Peter 2:21
King James Version
21 For it had been better for them
not to have known the way of righteousness,
than,
after they have known it,
to turn from the holy commandment
delivered unto them.
1 John 1:6
King James Version
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him,
and walk in darkness,
we lie,
and do not the truth:
We are either of CHRIST, or of Satan.
There is no in-between for followers of JESUS.
More so, for ministers of CHRIST.
Revelation 3:16
King James Version
16 So then because thou art lukewarm,
and neither cold nor hot,
I will spue thee out of my mouth.
What business do ministers have, flirting with sin?
We must not teach, or minister, in GOD's behalf, UNTIL we have CONQUERED the sins of your flesh.
That doesn't feel right.
GOD's WRATH will come upon us.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
King James Version
19 What?
know ye not that your body
is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you,
which ye have of God,
and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price:
therefore glorify God in your body,
and in your spirit,
which are God's.
GOD gave us His SPIRIT.
Galatians 5:22-23
King James Version
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance:
against such there is no law.
GOD gave us the SPIRIT of self-control.
2 Timothy 1:7
King James Version
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear;
but of power,
and of love,
and of a sound mind.
We have no excuse.
Spiritual warfare is real.
We knew that, when we signed up for the ministry.
How can we fight for others, if we can't even conquer our inner battles?
The Bible gave us the tools.
Put on the FULL ARMOR of GOD.
And kick that problem.
For good.
