13) * THE PRAYERS & SERMONS OF OUR STANDING MINISTERS FOR PEOPLE TO READ - 3

Continuation Gospel of sister San Davis on Monday 

(03 October 2011)

To walk in Christ like perfection, we must serve only one Master in full time service to God. We cannot become perfectly alive in Christ without becoming perfectly dead to ourselves...We must die daily... For every sin separates us from the Perfection of God.

God in heaven doesn't make mistakes...If we all obeyed the command the Lord gave His disciples, how much better we would be as a nation. How much better our lives would be free from error and sin.

We often hear Christians everywhere saying, "I'm not under the law, I just have to believe." If you choose to live according to your self will, you are choosing sin. A man or a woman living in sin, lives by their own word. Yet God's Word is His perfect will. Why would you ever think to do anything but the Word of God?

It is commonly believed Christ has suffered for us, therefore we are left to comfort ourselves; and do whatever pleases us. We are often told we don't have to pay any attention to denying ourselves and taking up our cross. We don't have to obey "The laws of the Spirit" all we have to do is "offer up the sacrifice of praise continually" and "pray without ceasing." yet there is no anointing of the Spirit without obedience to "the laws of the Spirit."

Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 13:11, "Finally, Brethren, Farewell. BE PERFECT, Be Of Good Comfort, Be Of One Mind, Live In Peace; And The God Of Love And Peace Shall Be With You."

The most important command encompasses them all was "BE PERFECT” …..There were several commands in the verse along with what they could expect to reap if they sowed obedience. If we want the "THE GOD OF LOVE AND PEACE" to be with us? Then we should expect to obey the Word of God.

The word according to 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says, "All Scripture Is Given By Inspiration Of God, And Is Profitable For Doctrine, For Reproof, For Correction, For Instruction In Righteousness: THAT THE MAN OF GOD MAY BE PERFECT, Thoroughly Furnished Unto All Good Works."

IN CONCLUSION

The word says in Roman 14:17 –19 “For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.”

As we hunger and thirst for His Righteousness, Jesus promised that we would be filled, or satisfied with that desire. We will reflect His Righteousness in our lives. But there are many who profess to be Christians who do not even attempt to walk in His Righteousness. In the Book of Romans, it speaks of those who HOLD THE TRUTH, they possess the Truth in unrighteousness. Those who profess to be Christians, yet who justify their sin by saying "I am just a sinner saved by Grace" and who do little or nothing to resist their sin, have a promise from God that they can rely on.

I John 1:9 “But if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness”.

God sent His Divine Word to manifest as Jesus Christ, His one and only Son, to manifest in human form, to live as we lived, yet He did not sin ... Every sin separates us from the Perfection of God.... We are brought into the divine state of Perfection when we live according to the whole Word of God. Choosing to walk in righteousness every day, perfecting holiness…. With each day we face, there is a choice to serve God in righteousness; however as fallen man, we sometimes fall short, at which point we should turn to God and repent. God is manifested through Christ in us to show us the perfect way, through the guidance of His Holy Spirit who lives in us.

SAINTS OF GOD RESOLVE TODAY THAT YOU WILL FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH (1 Tim 6:12). THAT YOU WILL STRIVE AGAINST SIN (Hebrews 12:4). THAT YOU WILL RESIST THE DEVIL (James 4:7). THAT YOU WILL BRING YOUR BODY IN SUBJECTION TO THE WILL OF GOD (1 Corinthians 9:27). THE MORE YOU REALIZE YOUR UTTER HELPLESSNESS TO DO THESE THINGS BY YOUR OWN STRENGTH, THE MORE YOU WILL HUNGER AND THIRST FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS…ONCE YOU ARE CONVINCED THAT YOU WANT THAT RIGHTEOUSNESS TO BE MANIFESTED IN YOUR LIFE ABOVE ALL THINGS, THE LORD WILL DO SUCH A WORK IN YOU THAT YOU WILL BE FILLED TO HIS PERFECTION…

CLOSING PRAYER!

Heavenly Father, I thank You for giving me the ability to share this word today, thank You Lord for Your mercies that are new every morning. Father bind our minds to the will of Holy Spirit through Your inspired messages. Thank You for Your Grace which allows us to present our bodies as living sacrifice, holy and acceptable, which is our spiritual service of worship to You.

Father God, it is not our will to be conformed to this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds, that we may prove good, acceptable, and perfect to what Your will is. By grace given to us, show us how to not esteem ourselves more or less important to the body of Christ than another. Thank You Lord for the spiritual gifts that have given to us that we may prophesy in proportion to our faith and to teach according to Your precious Word and to exhort and to give liberally and lead with diligence and show mercy with cheerfulness.

Father, show us how our love can be without hypocrisy. Teach us to abhor what is evil and cling to what is good. Teach us to be kind and affectionate to one another in honor and give preference to one another not lagging in diligence to be fervent in spirit to serve You Lord. Father, we rejoice in hope, we are patient through tribulation, and we shall continue in distributing to the needs of the saints and be truly given to hospitality. We will bless those who curse and persecute us. We will rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.

We will be of the same mind toward one another and not set our minds on high things but associate ourselves with the humble. We will not be wise in our own opinions and we will not repay anyone evil for evil for Your Word says to repay evil with good. We will not give place to wrath but will wait on the Lord for vengeance is Yours, therefore, we will live peacefully with all people and be overcomers through Christ. Lord we will offer drink to a thirsty enemy and food to one that is hungry that we may abide in Your Word forever. We love You Heavenly Father, and we want to emulate Your Son Jesus, walking in righteousness, perfecting holiness in Jesus Holy Name we pray, with thanksgiving in our hearts, Amen, Amen & Amen....

Much love to each of you my brothers and sisters, God bless.
