Doing The Will Of GOD From The Heart
..."Not everyone who says to ME, 'LORD, LORD,' will enter The Kingdom Of Heaven; but he who does The Will Of MY FATHER WHO Is In Heaven... Matthew 7:15-29 (v21).
So what is The Will Of GOD? What does HE Say in HIS Word of HIS Will for us all?
It is essential for everyone to understand correctly; being in accordance with GOD HIMSELF. Romans 3:3-6.
A Christian is never to simply trust in what any mere mortal man says, or does; no matter who he is, who he says he is, or who he is regarded to be by others; but in The Word Of GOD Alone. There is no Salvation in any mere mortal man. Psalm 146, 2 Peter 1:16 - 2:3.
'THY Word Is A Lamp To my feet and A Light to my Path.' Psalm 119 (v105)
ALMIGHTY GOD Says Through HIS bond-servant James, 'Therefore putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive The Word implanted, which is able to Save your souls. But prove yourselves doers of The Word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves...' James 1:21-22.
And Through HIS Apostle Paul, HE Tells us that The Word Of GOD 'effectually Works,' meaning The Word is active, operative, in those who truly believe, 1 Thessalonians 2:13.
This means as The Word Of GOD Speaks, so shall we do and will seek to do. We will not willingly do whatever is contrary to It; so that we do indeed become and are imitators of those written of in Scripture as being, The Church. Hebrews 10:19-39.
'But The Goal of our Instruction Is love from a pure (Cleansed) heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. 1 Timothy 1:5
As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects man. Proverbs 27:19
James 3:1 - 4:10.
The Message Of The Gospel is repentance for the Forgiveness of sins. Luke 24:44-47.
Released from our sins By HIS Blood: Grace through faith in JESUS CHRIST. John 1:17.
Romans 5:8-11, 1 Thessalonians 1:10, Revelation 1:5-6.
Matthew 21:28-31.
Salvation through Sanctification By The SPIRIT and faith in The Truth: 'And it was for This HE Called you through our Gospel, that you may Gain The Glory Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.' 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17.
To confess JESUS before men means that we will say as, acknowledge as; assent to JESUS CHRIST only; word and deed; becoming imitators of HIM as Beloved children. Matthew 10:24-33. 1 Corinthians 10:32 - 11:1, Ephesians 4:1 - 5:21.
'For whom HE Foreknew, HE also Predestined Conformed to The Image Of HIS SON, that HE might be The First-Born among many Brethren...' Romans 8:29.
'Though our outer man is decaying, our inner man is being renewed day by day.' 2 Corinthians 4:16.
If we do not, then we actually live denying HIM, no matter who we are or how vigorously we declare ourselves to be a Christian. 2 Corinthians 10:17-18.
GOD Gives HIS HOLY SPIRIT To those who obey HIM, John 7:37-39, Acts 5:32.
If we deny HIM, HE also Will deny us. Matthew 7:21-23, 2 Timothy 2:11-15; then we shall certainly be Judged with the unbelievers, despite what some will believe, uphold, preach and teach. 2 Timothy 3:16 - 4:4.
'Therefore to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.' James 4:17.
'So then, The Law Is Holy and The Commandment Is Holy And Righteous And Good.
Therefore did that which is Good become death for me?
May it never be!
Rather it was sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin by effecting my death through that which is Good, that through The Commandment sin might become utterly sinful.' Romans 7:12-13.
There is no partiality with GOD.
2 Thessalonians 1, Matthew 7:15-29, Matthew 12:46-50. Romans 2:1-16.
"He who believes in The SON has Eternal Life; but he who does not obey The SON shall not see Life, but The Wrath Of GOD Abides On him." John 3:36.
John 14:21-24.
"If you keep MY Commandments, you will abide in MY love; just as I Have Kept MY FATHER'S Commandments and abide in HIS love. "These things I Have Spoken To you, that MY Joy may be in you, and your joy may be Made Full..." John 15:10-11.
Blessed are those who hear The Word Of GOD and observe It. Luke 11:28.
"For This Is The Will Of MY FATHER, that everyone who beholds The SON and believes in HIM may have Eternal Life; and I MYSELF Will Raise him Up on the Last Day." John 6:40.
It is never for any Christian to merely presume that because they themselves will deem themselves a Christian that consequently these Words here Spoken By our LORD JESUS CHRIST are therefore speaking of and applying to them, being guaranteed. Psalm 19.
The Words the same LORD JESUS Speaks, (here for the example), in Matthew 7:12-27, Matthew 22:1-14, Matthew 25, are Spoken of and to all professing Christians to heed as well.
But these Godly Warnings, many professing Christians will like to refuse that they are Speaking to them or are of them.
For those that do so, this shall be their downfall, so the Words that no professing Christian will want to hear from The Mouth Of GOD, "I never Knew you" shall indeed prove to be Prophetic Words Spoken Of them By The ONE they themselves claimed to love, honour and serve.
It is to understand what means to 'behold The SON and believe in HIM' for those that truly do; these shall have Eternal Life: "For This Is The Will Of MY FATHER..."
"You will know them by their fruits."
Recently, and for a second time, I have found that I have been 'Shadow banned' by professing Christians after posting words online, backed by Scripture, that spoke against what they were speaking in The Name of CHRIST, and yet which actually contradicted The GOD Breathed Word: This, JESUS never did.
'Shadow banning' is when what has been posted online, in these instances on YouTube, are removed from the view of all by the channel owner, but the one who has posted the comment still sees it as being viewable, believing that all others see it as they do when accessing the page on the device or account they originally posted it on.
But by accessing the same page from another device it is not seen. When this happens you know you have been 'shadow banned.'
This is most certainly not for any professing Christian to do; there is no Godly integrity in such fleshly behaviour and one truly being Led By The HOLY SPIRIT will most certainly know not to do this.
It is a 21st century form of disobedience to and refusing The LORD GOD.
"Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their hearts and have put right before their faces the stumbling block of their iniquity. Should I be consulted by them at all?
"Therefore speak to them and tell them, 'Thus Says The LORD GOD, "Any man of the House of Israel (Romans 11:16-22, Ephesians 2:8-22) who sets up his idols in his heart, puts right before his face the stumbling block of his iniquity, and comes to the Prophet, I The LORD will be brought to Give him an Answer in the matter in view of the multitude of his idols, in order to lay hold of the hearts of the House of Israel who are estranged from ME through all their idols." ' Ezekiel 14:3-5.
Has The LORD as much Delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying The Voice Of The LORD?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, to heed than the fat of rams.
'For rebellion is as the sin of divination and insubordination is as iniquity and idolatry...' 1 Samuel 15:23a.
...For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an Inheritance in The Kingdom Of CHRIST And GOD. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things The Wrath Of GOD Comes Upon the sons of disobedience.
Therefore do not be partakers with them; for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light In The LORD; walk as children Of Light (for The Fruit Of The Light consists in all Goodness And Righteousness And Truth), trying to learn what is pleasing to The LORD... Ephesians 5:1-17 (v5-10).
This Precious Value, then, is for you who believe. But for those who disbelieve,
"The STONE Which the builders rejected, This became The Very Corner STONE,"
and,
"A STONE of stumbling and A ROCK of offence.";
for they stumble because they are disobedient to The Word, and to this they were also Appointed. 1 Peter 2:1-8 (v7-8).
Romans chapter 12 contains instruction for the Christian walk.
Verse 2, not to be conformed to this world, but being transformed by the renewing of your mind (Titus 3:1-8), verse 3, not to think more highly of yourself than you ought to think; but to think so as having sound judgement; as GOD Has Allotted to each a Measure of faith, because, as is explained in verses 4-8, every believer does not have the same function in The Church Of Which CHRIST JESUS Is LORD And consequently The Head.
It is HIS Church, not man's
'To HIM Dominion forever and ever. Amen.' 1 Peter 5 (v11).
This seems not to be widely acknowledged, seen, or even understood in The Church today, where instead we have many Pastors doing more than Scripture attributes to a Pastor, who will also appoint through himself all who make up a 'hierarchy' in a particular Church. 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, Ephesians 4:7-25.
'An appalling and horrible thing has happened in the land: The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule on their authority; and MY people love it so!
But what will you do at the end of it?'
Jeremiah 5:30-31.
"Be on guard for yourselves and for all The Flock, among which The HOLY SPIRIT Has Made you overseers, to shepherd The Church Of GOD Which HE Purchased With HIS Own Blood.
"I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing The Flock; and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the Disciples after them.
"Therefore be on the alert,... Acts 20:28-31a.
This Prophetic word, spoken through the Apostle Paul, is just not acknowledged today.
From verse 9 of Romans 12, 'Love without hypocrisy..., and then Paul proceeds with the very definition of what love (agape; noun) will do. Among other things written, we are instructed, to abhor what is evil; cling to what is good, to be of the same mind toward one another; not being haughty in mind but being as one with those who indeed know humility. Of not being wise in our own estimation, of respecting what is right in the sight of all men and accordingly as far as it depends on ourselves to be at peace with all men.
'...and be subject to one another in the fear of CHRIST.' Ephesians 5:21.
'...Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each one of you regard one another as more important than himself; do not look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
Have this attitude in yourselves which was also In CHRIST JESUS,...' Philippians 2:3-5.
Being a 'Christian' who will refuse correction, who will arrogantly refuse to examine everything carefully to determine GOD'S Truth, but instead will obstinantly determine to be the authority themselves is, according to GOD, of being on the broad way that leads to destruction.
See Acts 13:44-52, and know that to contradict and refuse The Word is blasphemy. And for those that repudiate The Word, in doing so they themselves judge themselves unworthy of Eternal Life.
If any will refute this then they are liars and The Truth is not in them. This is an irrefutable fact.
They certainly do not have the love Of GOD in themselves. Love is the fulfilment of The Law.
"If anyone loves ME, he will keep MY Word; and MY FATHER Will love him and WE Will Come To him and Make OUR Abode With him.
"He who does not love ME does not keep MY Words; and The Word Which you hear is not MINE, but The FATHER'S WHO Sent ME... John 14:23-24.
"You will know them by their fruits."
We are Called not to follow such men who will willingly do this; who prove themselves no more than blind guides of the blind. Jude:1-25.
"A blind man cannot guide a blind man, can he?
Will they not both fall into a pit?
"A pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher... Luke 6:39-40. See Matthew 23:8.
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to The LORD, but the prayer of the upright is HIS Delight. Proverbs 15:8
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination, how much more when he brings it with evil intent! Proverbs 21:27.
I will sing of Lovingkindness and Justice, to THEE, O LORD, I will sing praises.
I will give heed to the blameless way (the way of integrity)
When wilt THOU Come to me?
I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.
I will set no worthless thing before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away. It shall not fasten its grip on me.
A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know no evil.
Whoever secretly slanders his neighbour, him I will destroy; No one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heart will I endure.
My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in a blameless way is the one who will minister to me.
He who practices deceit shall not dwell within my house; he who speaks falsehood shall not maintain his position before me.
Every morning I will destroy (silence) all the wicked of the land, so as to cut off from The City Of The LORD all those who do iniquity. Psalm 101. See also 2 John.
The Will Of GOD Is our Sanctification; 1 Thessalonians 4:1-9
The Will Of GOD Is our obedience and thanksgiving; 1 Thessalonians 5:14-24
The Will Of GOD Is our faith, working through love, that HE May Work in us what is pleasing In HIS Sight; Hebrews 13
The Will Of GOD Is that we keep our behaviour excellent before all men: as Of CHRIST; 1 Peter 2:11-25
The Will Of GOD Is that we die to sin to live to Righteousness, keeping fervent in our love for one another; 1 Peter 4, 1 John 3:21 - 4:21.
The Will Of GOD Is that we know humility; 1 Peter 5:1-11.
'Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, but humility goes before honour.' Proverbs 18:12.
The one who knows HIM will both know and know to do these things; because HE, The SPIRIT Of Truth, Guides him: John 15:18 - 16:3.
Hebrews 12:1-15.
..."They are not of the world even as I AM not of the world.
"Sanctify them in The Truth; THY Word Is Truth.
"As THOU Didst Send ME into the world, I Also have Sent them into the world.
"And for their sakes I Sanctify MYSELF, that they themselves may be Sanctified in Truth.
"I do not Ask in behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in ME through their word; that they may all be one; even as THOU, FATHER Art In ME And I In THEE, that they may also be In US; that the world may believe that THOU Didst Send ME.
"And The Glory Which THOU Hast Given ME I Have Given To them; that they may be One, just as WE Are ONE; I In them And THOU In ME, that they may be Perfected in unity, that the world may know that THOU Didst Send ME And Didst love them, even as THOU Didst love ME... John 17:16-23.
