God's Acceptance Part 9

[Ztheberean]

ACCEPTANCEPart 9Acceptance: is within God’s good pleasure (Ps 51:18); And all His hosts, including His ministers CAN DO His pleasure (103:21); Wherein they are broken in Spirit, and contrite of heart, so that they could open their mouths, and show forth His praise (Ps 51:17, 15).We are not to believe every spirit, but test every spirit, because there are thousands of false prophets among us (1Jn 4:1); We know that those who speak of worldly things (what WE can do, rather than what GOD is doing) are NOT of God (just because they profess Jesus) (4:5).Those who are broken in Spirit CAN speak these things which are not of “SELF” (or the world) and so believers who can hear these things of truth, (and ASK God to work this truth into them for their performance) are of God (1Jn 4:6); these also love God because they can love their brother or sister, believers who say they love God and hate their brethren ARE liars, because they cannot hear these good things (4:20, 6).Do you know HIS ways, and HIS acts?? (Ps 103:7)Then you have not forgotten that His benefits include: 1. God forgives our iniquities (Ps 103:3)(by sending Jesus to bless us by turning us away from ALL of them; without this we are NOT forgiven AND blessed see Acts 3:26)2. God heals us (by crucifying us with Christ so that WE would no longer live our lives (in our own will) but Christ living in us in this NEW life (so that we can live unto God for others) see Gal 2:20) 3. God has mercy upon those who fear Him (Ps 103: 17, 11, 13)The fear of the Lord gives hatred towards the evil in all of it’s pride that “believes” WE can come to God in “OUR OWN” will, way, and, work (Prov 8:13-14).Evil “self-moved” believers cannot speak about God’s gracious things, only good ministers keep us in remembrance of these good things (1Tim 4:6); Does the word of God abide in you?? If so, then you have overcome the evil one (1Jn 2:14); And you are wise, and endued with knowledge because you can show the good things that you do (because of God’s performance) by your lifestyle and meek wisdom (Jm 3:13).Believers who are bitter, and envious can only STRIVE against those who have “this truth” because their wisdom is sensual and carnal, within confusion (Jm 3:14-16); AND these are double minded because they are “without understanding” which causes them to be unstable in ALL their ways (Jm 1:8-6, Ps 14:2).This kind of wisdom which is from above is pure, (hard to hear at first) then peaceable, full of mercy (so that others may obtain this mercy too see Rom 11:31), impartial, without hypocrisy, and all of this IS because the fruit IS righteousness which is sown in peace, WITH THOSE WHO WANT TO MAKE PEACE (Jm 3:17-18).Is God working in you to make you labor in His word so that you can be accepted by Him?? (Jn 6:27, Col 1:29, Heb 4:11-12, 1Thess 4:11 KJV) If so, then you understand that this instruction is the way which is ministered, to those who are going to enter into the everlasting kingdom. (2Pet1:11).
