Stand Clean

How many times have you looked at the world as a Christian and thought of how much need there is and what you might do. In the everyday that we exist we can apply change to this world. We have the authority to do so and the means by which to do it. As you live according to the Spirit in your everyday life, you are changing life around you. Your voice about the Lord is carried upon the image of which you project. When you stand up and voice the truth, the Spirit is acting upon the heart of all who hear you.
But what if you have many things that are going wrong in your life? Well, we do not focus upon them in doubt and fear. God will supply your needs! If your needs are not supplied, get before the Lord to find out what is hindering your relationship. Jesus did not lie! Our needs are met so that we can meet the needs of others. Do not be as the main line Christian community is; confessing they are Christians yet having no relationship with the Lord. Call yourself what God calls you. If you are in sin, call yourself a sinner and come to the fellowship of elders and receive the reconciliation that is in the Lord. Stand clean! Then you many give unto him or her in need.
The Psalmist wrote that he had been young and old, yet has never seen the seed of the righteous beg for bread. So many 'churches' are giving out bread to those who are and never were to receive such from the Assembly. There are guidelines for which we are to live. Too many people are proclaiming they are something they are not. Jesus said that if you would ask the Father in His name that you would receive. (Did He lie?) Many will come to Him in that day and say they have done many things; yet He will say to them that He never knew them.
Ministry is not what you do because you feel that is what you should do. Ministry comes from authority and power of the Lord Our God who tabernacles with us so that we share what He has to share unto His Body the Church (the called out ones). Jesus gave gifts unto that Assembly where by we can be equipped for ministry and that is the Apostle, Prophet, Pastor, Evangelist, and Teacher. Yet, in this day and time many have stepped up to the plate to proclaim themselves as leaders; though they are not being led themselves by the clear and evident Apostles Doctrine that is in Scripture.
Beware of fellowship absent of the Spirit of the Lord. The Lord is not interested in luncheons or a get together. He has an order by which to perform a work in this Earth.
The greatest thing you can do for anyone on this Earth is first hear from the Spirit of God that does not speak of itself but what is heard form the Lord Himself. We are to have first and formost control over ourselves! some speak at the drop of a hat and cannot refraim from shutting up. They are not in control of themselves. However many who do not have contro of themselves try to control others using the title of Christian to put a yoke upon others.
Our world suffers due to years of perversion and suppression of the Word of Life. Yes, 'Life'! Abundant life is what it means and not what another says it is. It is to live your life abundantly and from it give and give and give until you hit the grave or He returns. How can you run out if He is the one giving? This is our faith in Him; that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. What has the Lord rewarded you with? What have you done with that which He has given you?
Today, ask the hard questions toward yourself, so another will not do the same against you. Stand clean! (Mark 11:25)
