well are you?
im not trying to be critical, and im no-ones judge.
but i read something today that really made me think about just what i really am. i like to think i am a man of god, and that i am something good becuase i really want to be, but i found i wasnt as great as i wanted to think.
well, i was reading from james 1.26
IF ANYMAN AMOUNG YOU SEEM TO BE RELIGIOUS, AND BRIDLETH NOT HIS TONGUE, BUT DECEIVETH HIS OWN HEART, THIS MANS RELIGION IS VAIN.
so, it doesnt matter how spiritual you think you are, or how much you know, or how well you think you can hear gods voice, or how great a revelation you think you have, or how well you can preach, or how long youve been saved.
if you think your something,YET YOU CANT CONTROL YOURSELF UNTO GOD, then your just deceived.
you think your a man of god, but you cant stop from cursing someone. you think your a man of god, but you cant get out of bed in the morning early enough to pray before you start your day. or you men cant get your eyes off that womens hips. or to give god an hour or 2 out of your whole day.
(sorry, i dont know any women problems haha)
this is short and simple, but it is strong.
im not trying to put down anyones esteem in themselves.
but we should all look at the word of god, and go farther.
and we will never be great men and women of god, untill we are disciplined. we must be able to control our bodies, if our natural desires are overiding the law of god that we know, then we are flesh ruled people. the spirit must have supreme authority and control if our lives if we are to accomplish anything worth accomplishing, and if we are flesh ruled people, then the bible says we are not men or women of god, but VAIN people. worthless people.
in jude 20-21
it says to KEEP yourself in the LOVE OF GOD.
keep or control yourself, out of love for god.
if you really love god, and are a real man or women of god then youll obey him and youll control your body.
shoot, ive got some work to do.
but i will doit.
