My Convictions are not your Convictions
My Convictions are not your ConvictionsI see it all the time in Church or with the Church... People saying I don't feel convicted about that or my convictions aren't the same as your convictions.
I see alot of people that leave the Church over these conviction differences. I look around and see the Church Looking, Acting, Talking, Dressing like the world. We (the Church) should be Different, Separated from the World.
We should be a peculiar people... a People that stand out from the world... A people that the world looks at and says "Hey There is something Different about those folks..." the Bible says we should be transformed, be separate and come out from among them..
Ro 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but BE YE transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
2co 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and BE YE separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
It's not my conviction it's his word!!
We should die daily to follow Jesus Take up thy Cross and follow Him it's not my will but thine will Father...
Paul said in 1co 15:31 "I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I DIE DAILY." Paul said "I DIE DAILY" and Paul actually called himself the Chief of sinners in 1ti 1:15
"This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am CHIEF."
It's not my conviction it's his word!!
The Bible is Clear we must DENY our flesh, DENY ourselves and seek him.... the scripture say in Mt 16:24
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him DENY himself, and take up his cross, and follow me
Mr 8:34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him DENY himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Jesus said in Lu 6:46
"And why call ye me, LORD, LORD, and do not the things which I say?"
If Jesus said it, we should do it... again I say not my will but thine will. The Bible says that Jesus was before the foundations of the earth were made that means that He wrote the Bible...
all Scripture is profitable to us...
2ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
that means the whole bible is good for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, not just what we want to hear
Jesus said in Joh 14:15
"If ye LOVE ME, keep my commandments."
that means all His commandments not just a few...
Joh 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man LOVE ME, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him
Lu 6:47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will show you to whom he is like:
Lu 6:48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
Lu 6:49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
Most of the Modern day Church denies the power of God... they have let the world in and there is no power in the Church... the people see no difference in our Churches, they look just like the world.
why would the world go to church to be like the world??
Every sin we partake in leaves the Door wide open for satan, he is just waiting to leap through the door into your life.
It's not my conviction it's his word!!
Tit 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they DENY him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate
Everybody knows GOD nowdays, most people you ask say they are christian, but there is no sign of any God in their lives. Many live like the devil.... disobedient in the way they live. Abominable in the things they do and the way they act!!!
EX: Women in Short skirts, Shorts, Tight pants / shirts making men sin with Lust... Men with no shirts on, cursing the name of God... Drinking, smoking destroying God Holy Temple (your Body) These are just a few examples of these sins...
According to the Bible in Tit 2:12 we should live soberly denying Liquor, rock music, unGodly dress, cursing, smoking, drugs all the things of the world. We should live righteous, sober lives acceptable unto Him. we should always seek his advice and wisdom in everything we do in every action, our dress, our talk, our walk and especially in our Churches...
Tit 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
If you live, act and talk like the world Do you think God likes that??? Many of the things that we love to do, God hates. did you know that?
We pray for revival, your gonna have a youth meeting, and YOU WANT GOD TO MOVE but, before you go there, you watch programs on tv that God absolutely Despizes, then you wonder why??? the Holy Spirit hasn't fell on the place and why you have to create false fire and false excitement!!!
because God is not in it God is a Holy God the only way you and I can EVER be recociled to a Holy God is through the death of Gods own Son when He hung on that Tree
Mt 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and FOLLOWeth after me, is not worthy of me.
the bottom line is my Convictions are not your convictions...
It's not my conviction it's his word!!
Let me tell you friend, my convictions come from God from his Holy Word the Bible and If he said it we should do it
Mr 10:28 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have FOLLOWed thee
Church Deny thyself and leave it all behind, He is Worthy!!! it won't be easy, He never said it would be EASY!! He just said it would be worth it...
Don't lay up your treasures here on earth store them up in Heaven
It's not my conviction it's his word!!
