Do you have the fruits of the Holy Spirit?
Posted : 30 Oct, 2013 08:12 AM
What is the church?
Its is a fellowship of believers.
Jesus warns in Revelation 1-3 that He is going to judge the Church!
It means He gives us time to repent.
He says:
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Matthew 7
He expects from us the FRUITS of the Holy Spirit in our lives!
He says to Christians:
I Never Knew You
21 �Not everyone who says to Me, �Lord, Lord,� shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, �Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?� 23 And then I will declare to them, �I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!�
Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
Galatians 5:
13 For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: �You shall love :hearts: your neighbor as yourself.
I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.
19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God!!!!!!!!!!!
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love:hearts:, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
24 And those who are Christ�s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
Do you have the fruits of the Holy Spirit in your life?
Jesus speaks:
"Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. "
Let both (TARES and wheat) grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers (angels) :angel:, �First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.���
Jesus says:
The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. 39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, :angeldevil:
the harvest is the end of the age,
and the reapers are the angels. 40 Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. 41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, 42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
"The field is the world there I think. If it were the church then why did Paul throw the man that had his father's wife out of the church. He should have let him(tare) stay and grow up with the wheat. Consider what Paul ends up saying...God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked person from among you." So it is those outside the church that God will judge on Judgement Day. We are to cast the sinners out now."
Why we have to be SEPARATED from such wicked people? Because God commands us to be HOLY as He is HOLY:angel:. But He is able to SAVE such wicked people!
"Yes. And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Any teaching that preaches anything less than walking free from sin by the power of the Holy Spirit is heresy and what God calls 'another gospel'.
Romans 8:14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God ARE the children of God.
...
True. Some christians will not accept what you say but it is what God does say. Be ye holy, as I am holy. Christians who refuse to receive "thus saith the Lord" and obey His Word will be judged in these last days and Judgment is already coming to the household of faith.
I am on my last day today of a trial membership so if I do not return, then blessings to you. "
I think that "all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness" are fake Christians/in-the-name-only believers and unbelievers.
Let's read that:
The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares
24 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: "The kingdom of HEAVEN is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.
26 But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27 So the servants of the owner came and said to him,
"Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares""
28 He said to them, "An enemy has done this." The servants said to him, "Do you want us then to go and gather them up?"
29 But he said, "No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers,
"First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.""Matthew 13
Listen to what I said to my Christian friend today:
....LOL This is not aggression but confrontation of God. He commands you to OBEY what He says. ...
But do not forget that the book Revelation is a prophetic book written to predict the future last time events and prepare us to meet Jesus during His Return! When Jesus addresses Churches in Revelation 1-3 He addresses us-believers to WARN us to make us to RECONSIDER our lives and REPENT to be READY to meet Him.
Babylon:....But there is explanation of this Babylon in Revelation. This will be a literal city to be destroyed by the allies of the antichrist..I will tell you more about that?.
... Do NOT forget. The Church is a global fellowship/community of believers in God. We belong to this Church?to the Church of God?to this organization founded by God. That is why sexual immorality should not be in our lives as in the lives of any Christians?That is why we have to LIVE with God and WALK with God! If we abandon God then we are immediately backslidden..But God is ABLE to RESTORE us and RETURN us and He commands us: "Return unfaithful wife and I will heal your backsliding!"
...my dear friend, do not worry that you met sinners, you have to WARN them-Christians- and RESTORE them and TURN them back! Because we are the same sinners and sometimes NO ONE helps us to GET UP when we fall down and break our face to blood and pieces?ONLY God helps us to get up! We have to be like our God! ?Helping people?
...We and our lives are destroyed by sins if we do not live with God. ONLY when God turns us back to Himself then we are able to live a godly life...No matter what other people do, our responsibility is to LIVE a godly life before God!
...The Bible says that Christians can lose salvation and their names could be blotted out from the Book of Life if we live in sins!The problem is our Churches do NOT teach that. But we can know that analyzing the Scripture and reading it for all days of our life to IMPLEMENT it.
...God bless you my friend. My desire/dream for your life: to see you in a good Church..in an active ministry to people and God! And to see you a WINNER with a crown :angel:of a heir of God in the Kingdom of God?. Amen.Amen. Amen. Bahira/Maria
