BEFORE HIS OWN MASTER


 


BEFORE HIS OWN MASTER

 

Rom14:4AMPC “Who are you to pass judgment on and censure another's household servant?

It is BEFORE HIS OWN MASTER

that he stands or falls.

And he shall stand and be upheld,

for the Master (the Lord) is mighty to support him and make him stand.

 

 

We never give someone an opinion on what they should or should not do. 

 

…That is usurping the place of their master.  

 

 

ALWAYS AND EVERY TIME we are to bring them into the accountability of their own master...

...reminding them what HE has said... 

                  ....what HE believes. 

 

 

I've heard it said so many times…

“What you need to do is…”

Or… “If I were you, I would…”

 

 

It doesn't matter what WE think THEY should do. 

That would be US directing THEM... "comparing ourselves amongst ourselves... which is not wise" (2Cor10:12)

 

 

We like to give counsel.

It gives us a feeling of importance.

                  But there is only ONE MIGHTY COUNSELOR (Isa9:6)

 

 

The person to whom we are speaking is the Ark of The Covenant…

                  The Habitation of God through the Spirit (Eph2:22)

 

 

What happened to Uzzah who just tried WITH HIS HANDS to steady the ARK OF THE COVENANT? (1Chr13:9-10;2Sam6:6-7)

 

 1Cor3:16-17,19-20KJV/NASB95 “Do you not know that you are a TEMPLE of God

and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

If any man [defiles] the TEMPLE of God,

God will destroy him,

for the temple of God is holy,

and that is what you are.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God…

"The LORD KNOWS THE REASONINGS of the wise, THAT THEY ARE USELESS."

 

 

“LORD” is defined as:” the one with right of decision” (Strong’s)

 

 

Just a reminder: YOU ARE NOT THEIR LORD!

You have no right of decision in that other person’s life.

Giving someone a directive is a privilege and position reserved for ONLY ONE…

                  …JESUS CHRIST!

                                    …HE, ALONE IS LORD.

 

 

If YOU are speaking by the Holy Spirit, YOU WILL NEVER speak or testify of yourself...

…THE HOLY SPIRIT DOESN’T DO THAT! (Jn16:13)

 

 

YOU WILL... as the Holy Spirit does...

(Jn14:26) “bring to their remembrance everything CHRIST has taught THEM!”

 

Because…

…BEFORE HIS OWN MASTER

…HE STANDS OR FALLS

LET YOUR FRUIT SPEAK

LET YOUR FRUIT SPEAK?     People say, , “God told me”…  or “Holy Spirit directed me…”or… “this business belongs to Jesus, He tells me what to do!”     WHY?     Why do they preface THEIR works with such statements?     Isn’t it a ruse of the enemy to keep them unapproachable, uncorrectable, and continuing their own way without interference? … ITS INTENT: prevent ANYONE from speaking into them or the situation… After all… “who are YOU to contradict what God has said?”     “Every tree is known by his own fruit.” (Lk6:44) “…by their fruits you shall know them.” (Mtt7:20)   An apple tree does not have to tell you it is one… it just bears apples! …a cherry tree bears cherries.    You can tell a Dogwood Tree by its “Bark”… well… maybe that doesn’t fit the analogy.     If I have to tell you I am a certain type of tree, it is probably because there is NO FRUIT to make identification easy.     “He that speak...

FORMING YOUR WORLD

  Forming Your World     Have you been in a place in life where you feel like your world has no form, reason, nor rationale to it… like it is void of meaning or direction… and it seems like the darkness is so deep and thick that you not only can't see, but are so disoriented you have no clue as to which way is up?     How do you get out of THAT?     Gen1:1-2 describes just that scenario, but on a grand universal scale: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.”     The rest of verse 2 begins to show the hope in the midst of the vast void…                   “…And the Spirit of God MOVED UPON the face of the waters.”             “MOVED UPON” is from a primitive Hebrew root word meaning: to brood: to hover, flutte...

CONVICTION

Image
  CONVICTION   I have frequently heard the phrase, “the Holy Spirit CONVICTED me”… or… “I was CONVICTED by the Lord”.  As a young boy I was taught that God was this big eye in the sky continually watching to see if I was being good… and the Holy Spirit, being on my shoulder, would  speak in my ear to bring that guilt… shaming me back to the right path.the moment I stepped out of line   But… why did Jesus send the Holy Spirit to us?     In  Jn16:7 Christ calls the Holy Spirit “ THE COMFORTER ”. He uses the term, “ parakletos ”, which was used in NT times of an  attorney (lawyer)… someone  giving evidence that stands up in court .   It comes from two words: “ para ” (close-beside), and “ kaleo ” (make a call). The word properly means: a legal advocate, advisor, or alongside helper who makes the right judgment- call  because  close  enough to the situation.       Zech3 clearly portrays a courtroom drama u...
