Knowing who we serve

Gal. 5: 13-17 13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. 16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 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.

Look at us in these times and how we are trying to fight for our freedom that has been imposed upon us by the pandemic store closed, restantrant closed, chruches closed, jobs shut down and we are creatures of psyhcial contact. we talk about one another instead of praying for each other. We are suspose to shed the love of christ and not hate

it s time for us to understand who we serve

psalm 31:1-5 “In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; Let me never be ashamed: Deliver me in thy righteousness. Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: Be thou my strong rock, For an house of defence to save me. For thou art my rock and my fortress; Therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me. Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: For thou art my strength. Into thine hand I commit my spirit: Thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.”

Roman 13:14 “But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.”

we are an extension of christ

we are living in a world of i do what I feel

in this time we are focused doing what we feel while using our freedom to please our flesh

1cor 14:40 “Let all things be done decently and in order.”

everything we do should line up with the word of God

when we do what feel we are not normally serving God because what we feel is the someone or something squeezing our flesh

and non of us like that

but if we would simply turn it over to Jesus and allow him to carry you through you trials ad troubles everything would turn out alright

Job 13:15 “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: But I will maintain mine own ways before him.”

Hebrews 13:5-6 “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.”
