"We're a stench to few
a sweet smell"
The more I try and seperate myself from this worlds wisdom and
well mine I see they are wrong and Gods foolishness is wiser
then the worlds vanity.
See most Do not see why the world rejects Christuanity. It's
good news were told John 3:16 was good news to my hurting soul!
I called upon The Lord and was shown He was there! I was tired
and am tired of living for myself in the world and told Jesus I
believed and would do it His way!
I a moment broken on the Rock I surrendered! In essence I have
been re surrendering every day in spirit my flesh is perishing
my spirit through Jesus is life!
How could anyone reject this? Well in reality the bible is a
sword sent upon the Eath to discern men's hearts and the intents
of their actions. It convicts that men's actions thoughts works
of their hands are worthless in vain and come to nothing. Yes
it's says that.
It says that Jesus was manifested to destroy the works of the
evil world and those of the world don't want to surrender their
views of right their wisdom their actions they want to live for
the world and now justifying the sri Ed though their works.
So I was watching a show last night with some Christian
overtones and at the end the summary was God put us on this
Earth to live the most abundant life We could. That's why
most professing the good news don't get the rejection of it or
the scorn. If someone does not listen we pray for them we help
our neighbors and seek to live quiet peaceable lives?
They don't get the part about being called out of the world
being seperate from it do that we are not partakers of its ways
or this is important judgement!
This implies those Christians living for the world not the
kingdom to come not as Paul said to live is Christ may be as the
world sees them and as I am trying not to be hypocrites.
Professing Jesus Living just like everyone else.
God is sending Jesus back as a refining fire a fullers soap and
who will stand those by the Holy Spirit seperatimg unto God
being confirmed to His Son.
It's a message the world rejects because they understand it
means they have to stop living god the here and now. It's a
message most Christians don't get because they have been told to
live the abundant life here.
But it's a message God sent with His word. The good news is how
down before Jesus and my kingdom now stop serving the world and
yourself. You cannot do this through your flesh but surrender
let me do it in you through my Spirit.
It's handing the keys to the car over admitting we are totally
incapable of driving and will not get where we need to go. It's
then never looking back it is backing away from the hole the pit
that Korah stood on in His pride and fell into.
It is as imperfect as we are seeking to surrender and serve the
Holy true living God as we seek to be conforned to His Son.
It is a stench to the world who wants to justify themselves by
thier hands, its a stench to those preaching the abundant life
here, its a stench to family friends even ourselves in the
flesh. But it's the sweet smell a savor of life being lifted out
if the out if death in the Spirit.
That's the gospel message it's only good news to those who are
seeking to abide in it and through the Spirit not walk according
to the vanity of this world!
