Do you fear God?

Leave a comment

The Lord showed me today, how much important it is that we have to overcome sin in our lives. I read Romans 6 with new eyes. This is not an easy walk and we are not just to keep hope that God will forgive us again and again while we commit the same sin endlessly.

We all are struggling with sin but this is something that we have to take really seriously, we have to do all we can to overcome sin, and it is not just 10 commandments. There are many more in the book of proverbs, psalms and other verses.

We have to be serious about hating all kinds of sin and wickedness in us, including our thoughts and desires of our hearts. All the work done in us by the Holy Spirit is focused on showing us our sins and cleansing us to make us holy, to make us like the Lord Jesus. We have to walk in holiness and fear  of God, who will not accept sin, there is no other way. We have to overcame our sinful flesh and nature with the help of the Holy Spirit.

Without holiness no one will see God.

———————————————————————-

I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 6:19-23

When the Lord Jesus called me back, I knew Him like it is spoken about in this preaching. He showed me His heart, He showed me His burden for the unsaved, He flooded me with rivers of tears for many years. For a few years I went to church on Sunday evening only and did not know anybody there. The Holy Spirit was my teacher. Christians I got to know later, did not understand me, they did not know what I was talking about, how the Lord was revealing to me deep things from His heart, they did not want to pray for hours, they did not want to praise Him and worship all nights, nobody ever mentioned fasting in the church, no deliverance, no praying for the sick like Paul taught. I was shocked to see how almost every meeting was filled with cakes and tea. My heart was very heavy to know that most people are going to hell. I was sent to that small church by the Holy Spirit because it is still one of the few that is lively and teaching the bible without any deception, but my fire for the Lord has been quenched. I have become one of them, sitting on Sunday in the pew twice a day, often falling asleep, and living my life during the week. We do the bible study, we have great singing and many, lovely old people who have lived all their lives with God, they were brought up by Christian parents. They are very nice and God loving people but nobody ever understood the depth of God’s heart and His despair that I was shown. My ideas on what else we can do for Jesus in the outside world are mostly rejected. So, my fire went down and I have become one of the church goers, which bothers me greatly but I don’t really know how to change it as I cannot find anybody else that would be so much on fire as I have been. The preaching below is heart breaking but this is what the real Christianity is. And He is speaking the true about today’s Christians. May God have mercy on us and wake up more of us to this massive battle for human souls.
