selfrighteous Pharisees, hide behind a mask of false holiness

The unteachable selfrighteous Pharisees, hide behind a mask of false holiness. having a form of Godliness but denying the power thereof. strongholds of powerless religion chain them from the ankles to their mind holding them captive in a prison house of bondage. Pharisees and legalists they are blind, all about works forgot about Grace. they do and do and do works proclaiming to be so holy because... they do this or that or keep this or that, deceived they are believing their works made them holy. they have nothing more than a form of Godliness. Selfrighteous hypocrites and pharisees - so holy and so spiritual they make the word of God of no effect because of their traditions.
 

evidence of real Authentic Abiding Faith, will produce good works. Evidence of Christ's Righteousness working on the inside flowing from the inward to the outward.

when we submit to the Righteousness of God by Faith, then we can stop trying to produce our own righteousness. No flesh shall Glory in His presence. no work of the flesh no self efforts. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

through Christ alone will we walk in good works, no flesh no self efforts

JOHN 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

JOHN 15:4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in Me

God gets the Glory.

Get out of stagnant water

I passed by a corn field and seen huge puddle of water just sitting in these fields from all the rain we have got. the water is stagnant, the corn stalks are yellowing showing signs of root rot and root decay. it appears to be a damaged harvest that will produce no fruit. why ? the roots have been flooded with stagnant water.

you can relate this in a spiritual sense to Christians who are producing a damaged harvest producing bad fruit because of root decay root rot from stagnant water.
in farming and gardening when you have planted seed and the seed begins to grow often times hidden things creep in causing the leaves to turn yellow and sometimes brown, if caught and treated early you can avoid root decay and root rot, and produce a good harvest of fruit, if neglected the harvest of frui...t will be damanged, good for nothing. so in gardening when the seed planted begins to form yellow and brown leaves you have to clip off the bad leaves, the yellow and brown leaves steal water from the green fighting to live, the yellow and brown leaves hinder the plant from getting proper water nutrients and nourishment needed.

many today are in danger of root decay because things that have crept into our lives need to be clipped off, torn down before the harvest of fruit is damaged. self examination will allow you to see the hinderances that have stopped spiritual growth,those yellow and brown leaves on our fruit tree hindering growth and harvest of good fruit could be a number of things, such as grudges bitterness, jealousy , pride, arrogance , selfrighteousness, lust, depression, stress worry fear doubt, unforgiveness etc.. you get the picture, those things cannot be hanging around on our fruit tree in the garden of our hearts, it will destroy good fruit and cause root decay in our root system.

Encouragement press on

If you give up because its difficult you could miss out on a lot that's valuable, choose to patiently endure your trials until the end after the trial you will count it all joy, hold on, pray on just a little while longer, choose to rise above the struggles don't allow those circumstances and past failures and past hurts hold you down or back when Christ freed you saved you and healed you.

 

keep moving forward spiritually, come away turn away from those thoughts fears and doubts that paralyze you, be renewed in the spirit of your mind. how ? with the word of God. what goes into our minds comes out in our actions, whatever has your focus has you. feeling alone ? your not alone The Lord is with you to deliver you, call on His Name now, boldly run to the Throne of His Grace.

 

His Grace is sufficient and His strength is perfected in weakness, now rejoice and let the weak say I am strong, I exhort you to continue in the faith , remember we must through much tribulation enter into the Kingdom of God. be confident of this very thing that He which has begun a good work in you will continue to perform it until the Day of Jesus Christ. greater is He who is in you than he that is in the world. weapons may form against you but they wont prosper, we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us, we are more than conquerors nothing shall separate us from the Love of Christ. I reckon that the suffering of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the Glory which shall be revealed in us. we are overcomers by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of our Testimony,

 

our God reigns here, His Name is above every name, He is exalted, if He be lifted up He will draw all men. praise the Lord, this is the day that the Lord has made rejoice and be glad in it, praise Him in the storms. Trust in the Lord with all your heart lean not to your own understanding acknowledge Him in all your ways and He will direct your path. put on the whole armour of God take heed watch and pray be sober and vigilant.

 

stop fighting in your own strength. for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. study to show thyself approved unto God a workman who needs not to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of Truth. without faith its impossible to please God, they that are in the flesh cannot please God. flee fornication flee from sin turn away turn to God whole heartedly surrender to Him answer the call.

 

let brotherly love continue, Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind , love your neighbor as yourself, love in deed and in Truth. remember we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities against powers against the rulers of the darkness of this world against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Don't let your neighbour die in sin, Are you going to turn them away when they come begging for bread ?
 
Bread of Life sent down from Heaven, claim you know Him and claim you follow Him, Jesus fed five thousand afterwards concerned about the fragments saving twelve baskets full. the definition for fragments means a broken or incomplete piece
 
How many have you fed ? and how many fragments have you let fall to the ground not concerned with picking them up ?
 
Three times Jesus questions Peter do you Love me ? peter replys yes Lord and He says to peter feed My Lambs. the 2nd time peter replys yes Lord He says to peter feed My sheep, the 3rd time peter was grieved and replys Lord thou knowest all things, Thou knowest that I love Thee and Jesus says to Him feed My sheep.
 
Time to get out of the flesh and walk in the spirit.  many claim to be filled with the Holy spirit. I'm reminded of Luke 4:18  The spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them who are bruised. 
 
If we are the Body why aren't His arms reaching ? why aren't His hands healing ? why aren't His words teaching ? and if we are the body why aren't His feet going ?

motions ??

you can go through all the motions and wear a mask of Holiness continue going to church or continue in your ministry for appearance, but as long as you harbor unforgiveness and bitterness you will not experience the fullness of God . as long as your puffed up full of pride God will not use you. now you make Go through motions and fake it , but God knows the heart and the empty person knows how mi...serable they have been. you can only maintain your image and wear your mask so long before the mask comes off. because God is merciful and His mercy endures forever He has been dealing with you but you have not submitted to Him and repented. if you continue to harden your heart and stiffen your neck, you will be brought low broken to the point of submission. the fire will purge you and the hammer of God will break you. time to repent

pride

the prideful heart says I have to defend myself & my name. quick to anger foolishly the prideful heart speaks. the humble surrender and submitted heart that trusts in the Lord, says it don't matter if they attack me slander me or whatever they attempt because no weapon formed against me shall prosper , Greater is He who is in me than he that is in the world, I trust in Jesus and vengeance is the Lord's. slow to speak quick to listen. warning you can hide it or try to cover it up delete it but the Lord knows the secret things, and if you don't humble yourself and repent and go to that person then your in danger of Judgement. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap

a leaking foundation and a cracked shield

Early in the Morning after prayer I sat on the edge of my bed I looked over at my wall , right now I live in a apartment on the 1st floor and the foundation outside my window is bad, when it rains my room gets flooded, I was thinking about a leaking foundation water and floods.

I began to think about the purpose of a foundation, and how it keeps whats outside from coming in.
I began to look at this in a spiritual sense and the dangers of a leaking foundation.

I was reminded of some scriptures so I began to read Matthew 7:24-27) 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

26  And every one that heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

After reading I began to think about Christians who I know and how some seem to have lost their fight, recently I've seen a increasing number of Christians falling away so many that are weak and weary and many who have lost faith. until this problem with the foundation of my apartment I really didn't understand what is going on with some Christians who I have witnessed endure some of the toughest storms & trials and wondering why storms that are less severe are knocking them out of the fight.

It has been revealed to me through this problem with my apartment building, that many Christians who were once strong and courageous and anchored to a secure foundation that no wind no storm could knock down, now have a leak in their foundation, and a leak will weaken the structure nature and character and stability of many Christians that don't see what is happening.

when a foundation has a leak what is outside will begin to slowly creep in unware at first. just like the problem with my apartment building no one seen that there was a problem until it grew, what may have began as a small leak traveled through the foundation and beat against the structure of the walls, and once through the wall then the problem was clearly seen to be a big mess no longer a small leak but a great flood.

through all of this the Lord allowed me to see many Christians who had a small leak in their foundation have been caught unaware by a unseen problem, and now that the leak has grown to be a flood, they are noticing but they are so overwhelmed they don't know what to do.

so the leak in the foundation turned to a flood, and also the Lord allowed me to see through this, that many Christians who once walked in the whole armour of God, now have a cracked shield. their shield of faith has cracks in it, why ? it rooted from a leak in their foundation that turned into a flood.

the structure and stability of their faith has been weakend, many things such as lonliness , fear, doubt, bitterness and jealousy have crept in, starting with a leak resulting in a flood causing cracks in their shield of faith and it has resulted in bondage, many have become so overhlmed with why they cant seem to get free. and the chain of bondage is growing links making a longer chain that has wrapped around them and wrapped around their mind causing blindness and doublemindedness which results in that person being unstable in all their ways.

And because the foundation and structure of their faith has had a leak, many things have crept in , And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

then the Lord to me to the Parable of the sower. Mark 4:14-19) 14 The sower soweth the word.

15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.

18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,

19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
