DILIBERATE SIN - Closure to Study 5

10/10/2012

TAKING ACCOUNTABILITY IN TEMPTATION

I have left the last blog hanging in the air for weeks but I have been praying how to bring it to a close and with what the content should be. I've had  ideas coming and going then tonight as I was reading the post below I discerned in my spirit "this is how I will you to conclude study five (5). These are strong words but being  Apostolic you carry the Prophetic mantle and the Prophetic does bring strong words yet with edification and encouragement and spoken in love.

So you and I know that we are acceptable in His sight, greatly loved and wholeheartedly understood in the difficulties of our lives with same sex attraction. We also know that temptations of homosexual lust will come against us in different ways, that our sinful nature is alive and we will desire to yeild to same sex lust regardless of how much our flesh has been regenerated; and for some of you, you need to come to terms with this and accept SSA is still a part of you but He holds you and it in His Hand.

Now the devil and his underlings are assigned to always be at work to take any opportunity to ensnare us so as to yeild to temptations, but God ... this we know "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." (1 Corinthians 10:13 KJ) Therefore we have all of heavens hosts there to back us up and His ability and His power is available to override the circumstances so that He can intervene in our time of temptation.

The truth is we are a struggling people, fragile yet strong, flawed yet fearfully and wonderfully made the sum total of our past and present; and we are all in agreement that we have changed so much that we are not the women we once were years ago, or the woman we were when in the fullness of our homosexual lifestyle - blessed be our God and Father who has redeemed us from the kingdom of darkness and who wills to purify a special people for Himself, zealous for good works (Titus 2:14).

We know our security, value, self worth, significance and identity is in who we are as daughters / sons of God and we all will to aspire to be in the centre of His will for His redemptive plan and purposes in and throught us for those around us. We also know we do not have to have any superior attitude because of who we are in Him or who He is for us; we know we are servants, therefore we know we have no need to vainly puff ourselves up with worldly outlooks or opinions or their comparisions with one another, but we are to be humble in heart and live accordingly and to the measure of faith and giftings given us. Recall, we are to do nothing from selfishness and empty conceit, but with humility to regard others as more important than ourselves and to do all things everything as unto The Lord.

Favor, justice, reward is from God and He will govern our lives in every breath we take in every move we make if - if we allow His Kingdom rule in our lives and Him to have Kingdom rule in our hearts. So regardless of what degree of lust of same sex attraction He is able to cause the sin living in us and the evil present with us to come under His subjection power and dominion (Romans 7:18-25, 8:12-13, Galatians 5:16-17) that we are enabled to rise above it and overcome its seduction and power - and relax embrace yourself in where you are at today its there but we are living for Jesus and going on for Jesus ever changing from glory to glory.

Whatever stage of the journey we are on with Him in our discipleship, regeneration, sanctification, transformation it is commendable to each of us and to this He applauds.  However there are times when He will bring His Words of correction or a rod of correction and chastisment  especially to those of us who are more mature and or who have a fuller knowledge of His Kingdom way of life, His laws, His instructions in righteous living, His Grace and His outpouring of Himself.

Jesus will counsel accordingly to His will and the reality is He does use The Word to divide between soul and spirit and in this it convicts, warns and will deliver us from any pitfall (Hebrews 4:12; Psalm 107:20, 10) thus leading us to turn from the temptation and in true repentance for His redemptive purposes and life everlasting. If we won't listen to His Word His rod will correct us and we will sit in darkness, our heart will faint, we will be in distress and sit in the shadow of death bound in affliction (Psalms 107:1-20).

When you read The Word and the post below let it judge the thoughts and intention of your heart, let it bring conviction and let it bring His fear. Fear that you choose life, fear that you continue to choose Him, fear that you choose not to yeild to temptation, fear that you do not go near temptations door, fear that you do not make a way to go to her/temptation. We do not want to be as Esau who for one fleeting moment gave up his birthright, then after seeking it back with tears was rejected for he found no place of repentance (Hebrews 12:14-15).

I understand the complexity in same sex attraction and I understand that Jesus knows our hearts and ultimately it is He who judges our lives and circumstances and events accordingly. So I know I cannot just slap this blog against everyone who has backslidden and or fallen back and or yielded to temptation in whatever form of homosexual lust - these 5 blogs are around my guilt of adultery of homosexual lust of the mind. But this is how He is speaking to my heart this is what He is saying to me in regard to being sexually active with "that particular woman." To this I am happy for I welcome His strong Word to shake me and speak to the very core of me that I continue to choose holiness.  I am thankful that He said it would be a deliberate transgression if I ever sought her out for intimacy thus I could well expect judgment.

Why?  - "For if we are willfully sinning after receiving the full knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice concerning sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment and zealous fire being about to consume ... If anyone did not regard the Law of Moses, that one dies without pities on the word of two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment do you think she/he will be thought worthy to receive having trampled on the Son of God, and having counted the blood of the covenant in which he was sanctified common, and having insulted the Spirit of Grace?" Hebrews 10:26-29

Self pleasure in homosexual sexual intimacy is not my / our option, being a lover of self than lover of God (2 Timothy 3:4) is likewise no longer my / our option "she / he who lives in self-pleasure has died while living." (1 Timothy 5:6). As mature daughers / sons no matter how we may will to justify a deliberate sexual encounter we have "rebelled against the words of God and have despised the counsel of The Most High." (Psalms 107:10)

Then what should I say - I / we overcome, I / we "love not our lives till the death" (Revelation 12:11), I / we just embrace this Kingdom lifestyle and give it our all, and "not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap, if we do not faint." (Galatians 6:9)

Therefore, daughters / sons of The Most High God, "If you love me keep My commandments" (John 14:15) "... if you desire to enter into life, keep the commandments." (Matthew 19:17) and "... blessed is the woman / man who endures temptation, because having been approved she / he will receive the crown of life which the Lord promised to the ones loving Him." (James 1:12)

Amen and amen, be bessed and be a blessing,

Love Kathleen.

THE CALL TO BE A DISCIPLE: ARE WE BELIEVERS OR DISCIPLES (Study 5)

23/9/2012

Facing My Inner Pain

This is the 5th and last study in this series; sorry I have not been able to write any introduction as yet, but I will post  if Jesus wills me to out of His Counsel and ministry to me. I am just facing some inner pain  of a basic  want for acceptance and emotional closeness, yet truly not sexual intimacy. I am working through this with Him so I am not in a clear "head space" to bring it all to together to share or do I even know if I am to share why I have taken off too high into a buried dead old flight cycle.

Please keep me in prayer and thankyou, be blessed with study 5 and be a blessing.

Love Kathleen

                                   EXCUSES AGAINST DISCIPLESHIP - STUDY 5

                                               "Are We Believers or Disciples?

What’s the difference? And why does it matter? When Yeshua gave His commission to the apostles, it was to make disciples of all men, Baptising them AND “teaching them to OBSERVE ALL THINGS that I have COMMANDED you;”  Matthew 28::18-20

Being a disciple is more than being a believer! Being a disciple involves following His example and observing all that He has commanded us. It is being in submission to Him and incorporating the lifestyle of the Master. On many occasions Yeshua shared with the multitudes in parables and ministered to their needs but it was only to the committed ones that He revealed the mysteries of the kingdom. The people thronged around Him, they hung on His every word, so that it is impossible for them to rest or to eat on many occasions and He seeks to come aside and rest. But still they follow.

Mark records an occasion where this happened, that as they sought to find a place of rest in a deserted place, the people followed them and continued with Him all the day. Moved with compassion for them, He fed them before dismissing them to go to their homes (Mark 6:30-44).

He had healed their sicknesses, and He even performed a miracle by multiplying the bread and the fish, so they would not have to go home hungry: but ultimately, He sent them away. In another instance the people stayed with Him for three days, again He taught them and performed many miracles and healings and fed them before He sent them away (Mark 8:1-10).

The people seemed intent upon following Him and yet He sends them away. Why did Yeshua spend time alone with His disciples, and yet He sent the multitude of believers away? John’s account of the feeding of the five thousand is insightful as to why He sends them away. John 6:14 tells us that the people saw the signs that Yeshua did, and exclaimed that He was “truly the Prophet who is come into the world.” They recognised Him as the Messiah! Then in verse 15, the people were even going to take Yeshua by force, and make Him their king (to drive out the Romans)

“When the people therefore saw that Yeshua was not there, nor His disciples, they also got into boats and came to Capernaum, seeking Yeshua. And when they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, "Rabbi, when did You come here?" Yeshua answered them and said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.” John 6:24-26

Yeshua recognised their motivation! He saw them as sheep without a Shepherd and ministered to their needs, as a Son of the Father, but He knew what was in their hearts. They followed Him for what they could receive. They were caught up in the signs and wonders and miracles which He did. His Word was with power and they drank from the anointing of the Spirit upon Him. But what kind of seed were they?

Was the Word taking root in their heart and bringing forth fruit?
.... .... .... or was
the soil of their hearts shallow and infertile?
.... .... .... Were they
just seeking to have their immediate needs met?

What was the difference that caused Him to spend time with His disciples, while He sent the other believers away?    Everyone that Yeshua called, He put to the test - He tested their motivation.

What was the disciples response when they followed Him?

When His ministry was just beginning, Yeshua called out to His disciples, who recognized His anointing, and they immediately left their vocations, in order to follow Him (Matthew 4:18-22; Mark 10:28-31; Luke 5:27-29). They were prepared to lay down their lives and serve Him. Like their father Avraham before them, the disciples left everything, in order to follow at YHWH’s word.

The disciples took care of things that Yeshua did not need to attend to. They were glad to do anything they could to help further their Master’s kingdom, no matter what it was. They did servile tasks, they expended themselves physically, they stayed the course whether the response was good and bad. They were prepared to endanger their lives and be outcasts from the system for His sake (Luke 18:28).

They gave their all!

So while both the believers and the disciples seem to have recognized Yeshua’s anointing, and while both the believers and the disciples seem to have desired to spend time with Yeshua, and learn from Him, it seems that the big difference was in their willingness to serve. The disciples gave everything they had for the privilege of helping their Master build His kingdom. They served YHWH with all of their heart, with all of their soul, and with all of their might. And, since they loved Him more than their lives, He spent time with them. In contrast, the believers all sought to get something from Him. They came to get healed, they came to get fed, and they came for free instruction. This is true even if they were not aware that such selfishness was their real motivation: that is how He saw it.

What is our motivation?

Are we seeking to have our needs met, to be healed, or to get some free instruction?Or have we come to a place where nothing really matters to us anymore but the desire to please Yeshua and to serve Him in every way possible for the rest of our lives? Or are we one of those who can say that He has taught in our streets and done many mighty acts in our midst, yet He will have to say “Depart from Me, I never knew you"  (Luke 13:24-27; Matthew 7:21-23). We were in the crowd but not in personal, intimate relationship with Him!

For He sends His rain on the just and the unjust ... ... (Matthew 5:45) “YHWH executes righteousness and justice for those who are oppressed. He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel.” Psalm 103:6-7

The demonstration of His power - His mighty acts, are for the believers; but the close intimate fellowship, are for those who become His disciples, who lay down their lives in service to and for Him and walk in His ways."1. [Hammond, Sep. 2012]

THE CALL TO BE A DISCIPLE: EXCUSES AGAINST DISCIPLESHIP (Study 3)

7/9/2012

0 Comments

"Would you marry me and love me so" is the question that has been coming up in my spirit for the last few weeks and especially when I play Would You by Evie on LP.

I answer - "oh I hope so, yes I hope so, I really do hope so."

If I was tested face to face with this woman can I be obedient to keep my word and take a hold of Kingdom living in the very depth of me? Am I really prepared to surrender my all to honour my "yes I hope so"?

"I'll try so, yes I will try so, I really will try so." The answer is yes I will, and not only that I will remove myself from the situation full stop and move well away from the temptation "if your right eye offend you pluck it out (Matthew 18:9)"

There will come a time when you also will be asked this question from Him "Will you marry me and be my Bride?" It may be today, tomorrow or in years to come or in a time when you are in your hour of temptation to be tested and tried as He shows you the condition and pain of your heart.

If you say yes, He will prepare you to be His Bride in all that this entails so that you go to the consummation of His great wedding feast. LISTEN, when the rubber hits the road Discipleship will cost you your life, and you will have to deny yourself to pick up your cross, share in His suffering and learn obedience through temptation and righteous suffering to obedience.

The truth is it's not just for life in eternity for we lay down our life for the love our brethren, we love others more than ourselves, we live to walk  those off the stairway to hell and in this we become proven vessels to equip, train, teach and love so others who have SSA can take His Life and become His Discipe and the overcomer.

You and I know it will not be an easy walk or any easy road to take with the training the endurance the commitment, but it will be all worth it when we receive our crown of glory  to "have the right to the tree of life, and enter in through the gates into the city" (Revelation 22:14) of our Great King.

Be blessed and be a blessing with Study 3. Amen and Amen.

                                             THE CALL TO BE A DISCIPLE

                             "EXCUSES AGAINST DISCIPLESHIP CONT - Study 3

3. THE WAVERING MAN
"Another said, 'I will follow you, Lord, let me first say farewell to those at my home,'   Y'shua said to him, 'No one who puts his hand to the plough and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.'" This man had a problem with temptation!   Luke 9:61-62

Y'shua knew the man's heart. He knew what motivated him to say what he did. In verse 62 the Greek means 'one who continues to look back'.

The man's heart was distracted by the things around him. He had not come out of worldly desires which would hinder him serving God. He had not yet gone back to the world, but this is where He was looking. It was not just his family, he was motivated by the self-life. He had not said 'No' to the things that would stop him following Y'shua.

The principle is that we will eventually go where we are looking, sooner or later we will deviate. We will not stay on the straight and narrow while looking to the right or to the left. Our eye needs to be single and our body full of light.   Matthew 6:22-23

As ploughing requires the undivided attention of the farmer so being a disciple requires undivided attention. Having begun we must continue on to the finish.

Elisha is an example of one who severed himself from his old life and left himself no means of return. He slew the oxen, his means of living, said farewell and left all.   1 Kings 19:19-21

He took no thought for the future or the consequences of leaving everything.

It requires complete trust in the One Who commissions you to follow.

THE EXAMPLE OF Y'SHUA

Y'shua made no excuses, and we are called to follow Him!

He is the ultimate example, a man that put aside everything of his own interests and was completely obedient even unto death. (Phil.2:8)

How did Y'shua gain that obedience?     It was learned!

Y'shua learnt obedience through the things which he suffered, the difficult situations in life where it says that He was tempted in all points as we.   Heb.2:8-9; 4:15

He learnt obedience by being obedient!

His obedience gained our salvation.

Our obedience appropriates our salvation!

Matt. 21:28-32 tells a parable of two sons. One paid lip service to God. The other refused initially but repented. God does not want to hear our excuses, He wants our obedience. He wants us to follow in the footsteps of Y'shua.

That is true discipleship!

But, a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. (James 1: 8) A foot in both camps, trying to hold onto some of the old while attempting to live the new life, will cause one to not progress spiritually.   That person will be a slave to his desires and will not last in the kingdom, but the true son of the kingdom will experience the true liberty of life in Y'shua.   Serving Him is not restriction and bondage, but glorious liberty and life. John 8:31-36

So, “If the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” (John 8:36) " 1. [Hammond, August 2012]

THE CALL TO BE A DISCIPLE: EXCUSES AGAINST DISCIPLESHIP (Study 2)

2/9/2012

0 Comments

I like many of us will truly come to a place in our walk that we are confronted to ask ourselves are we willing to go the distance? We will be confronted with this question when temptation could be or is getting a grip on us or has got a grip on us that we may take the next step.

This week I read a woman's Facebook share written by John Bazemore Jr on "Adultery Of The Mind" and it reads as follows:

"ADULTERY OF THE MIND.... Be careful that your mind don't take you, where your character can't keep you. It's the battlefield of the mind where most of us succumb to our weaknesses. It is where compromise is justified, and we live out fantasies without actually performing them physically. It is where immorality begins, and where the enemy traps us. That is why we are admonished to BRING INTO CAPTIVITY EVERY THOUGHT TO THE OBEDIENCE OF CHRIST. Once you've lived the act in your mind, your body is soon to follow. Looking at someone and lusting after them in your heart, is as if you have committed the act. If you're going to park your mind, park it in Philippians 4:8!!" 1. [fb: Shushila Christiansen, 2012]

What spoke to me in this post was "Be careful that your mind don't take you, where your character can't keep you." Why? Because I've been spiritually fighting off and to add I've been entertaining their tempting thoughts of late.  But I see it is my character that is keeping me from fully yeilding to them and or letting them rule. Also I am not making an opportunity in the natural to bring the thoughts to pass or am I or even do I want to lay a fleece to determine if what seems to be true is actually really true.

For if it is true and I make it obvious that I am willing then I believe in my heart  that I am not a Godly woman, that I am not a committed woman of God and I would not really be His true Disciple. Further if I did act out I would have compromised to back slide,  I would of resisted being whole, I would have refused abiding in the vine to bear much fruit and I would have refused to allow Him to continue to sanctify me.

Truth is in my heart I do want Jesus and life with Him and with all He Is and I want His Life, Love and anointing(s). I know there is no good thing that dwells in me with the lust that dwells in me (Rom. 7:23; Gal. 5:17); I know it is the base nature that wants homosexual lust, it wants to come to life today and it will no doubt want to live and come to life again some time in the future, and when circumstances are conducive for the enemy to start an attack and assult on my senses, and me to want to escape or hide in these pleasures of fantasy dished out at me.

I also know of late my circumstances - issues/pain/troubles ect are conducive for the enemy to bring their witchcraft false love and supernatural sexual desire against me and I discern it against this other woman  (they don't know what is hitting them and its quiet a strong power, but when this supernatural love nectar wares off they/you will come back to their senses - so do not take advantage of it they're not truly in their right mind neither are you!) to join us by their sorcery and love magic and I realize this will be an ongoing strategy until I'm past my "use by date" in hope they can get to "take me out."  (When you sense and or discern this YOU HAVE TO STRAIGHT AWAY address them and say "devil I resist your desires, desist your moves in Jesus Name; Jesus be strong in the strength of Your might and deliver me from evil.")

But I also have to admit that I myself may want to take ahold of homosexual lust and run with it out of my base lust of the flesh  that lusts against the life of The Spirit; especially in times pain, brokenness or maybe I may out of flat out rebellion or whatever until I have truly chosen in these times of pain to no longer entertain spirits who have seen an opportunity that they can bring forth the fantasy of homosexual lust.

I have to straightforth cast down their imaginations and to straighforth flog them - set warfare against them for bringing desire and works to my mind instead of listening.   I can confess I've never gone into fantasy by my own imaginations myself, it has been by listening to the works of darkness against my mind but yes I have listen and entertained them and allowed my soul to marry up with the lust thereof.

Anyway when the rubber hits the road this test, this temptation reveals to me that I've truly chosen Jesus, I have in the natural truly chosen His life by staying honest with Him, inviting Him into it, resisting the devils assaults, my flesh and by politely resisting her and by warfaring against their works. Am I guilty in my mind? Yes, yes I confess I am. Is she desirable? Yes, but what is important to me is my actions speak louder than their thoughts to what I allowed to marry up with my imaginations.

For I can say I have had many an opportunity to make a move or put out a fleece of suggestion (she runs a risk of exposure), but I have always resisted as I realize  homosexual lust will always be a weakness and one I can never again physically yeild to and or let come to life again. Then I know the enemies lies and destruction will ensnare me in many many ways and they'll win and I know they want my destruction! In the spirit of my mind I have seen a very beautiful woman then she turns into a black dark ugly creepy image and I hear this "one way or another I will get you."

I also know His Word and His judgements will be more than I will to bear and this is only one "adultry I will judge" (Heb. 13:4); then to add I don't want the remorse and lets face it she is not in Blood Covenant her life will go on - mine won't so to speak and I would be diliberating transgressing His laws. Thus, I do not want to be guilty of trampling the blood of Jesus under foot (Heb. 10:29) or a probability of losing my salvation (1 Cor. 6:9) just over a sexual lust encounter that can go no where; let alone ruin my testimony or the loss of my ministry and the truth is I am nothing without Him and all that I have is all that He's given me.

Therefore Jesus wins for I will chose life and life with Him now and with the expectation of life ever after with Him to "receive the crown of life which the Lord promised to the ones loving Him" (James 1:12).

I pray my openness is a blessings and be blessed with Study 2 that you too in your hour of temptation recall the contents of these teachings so that you remain a Disciple and not be found unfaithful or denying Christ your Redeemer and Restorer.
_______________________________________________________________________

                                                 THE CALL TO BE A DISCIPLE

                                   "EXCUSES AGAINST DISCIPLESHIP CONT. - Study 2

There is a cost to discipleship - that cost is OBEDIENCE

OBEDIENCE      will mean      SELF-DENIAL


SELF-DENIAL              will mean                 SACRIFICE.

The disciple should be willing to pay the price of obedience!

"These people come near to me with their mouth and honour me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up of rules taught by men."     Isaiah 29:13

(Following religious instructions, attending services, doing good works fall into this category)

"Not every one who says to me, 'Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father in heaven." Matthew 7:21

The aim of salvation is to restore us to obedience, to bring us back from going our own way. It is not enough to profess faith and service - we must do it!

See the parable of the two sons in Matt.21:28-32 one paid lip-service, the other refused at first but afterward repented and obeyed.

We will never be required to do anything beyond that which with His enabling, we will be able to undertake.

"There has no temptation (trial) taken you but such as is common to man. But God is faithful who will not suffer (allow) you to be tempted above that which you are able. But will with the temptation make a way of escape (a way to overcome) that you may be able to bear it." 1 Corinthians 10:13

Y'shua our example, was obedient unto death to secure our salvation. He learnt obedience through the trials He endured - through suffering, i.e. submitting under difficult circumstances and finally, the death of the Cross.

"But we see Y'shua, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, that he by the grace of God may taste death for every man".   Hebrews 2:9

His obedience OBTAINED our salvation!

Our obedience APPROPRIATES our salvation!

1. THE UNCOMMITTED MAN

"As they were going along the road a man said to him, 'I will follow you wherever you go.' And Y'shua said to him, 'Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head."  Luke 9:57-58

This man had a problem with commitment He volunteered to follow Y'shua, but his offer was not one of wholehearted commitment, it was an impulse of the moment. He was caught up in the excitement and made an emotional response without realising what it would involve. Y'shua did not invite Him to follow Him or rebuke him, He just explained what was involved in discipleship, that it was a commitment!

The man said that he would follow Y'shua wherever He went and Y'shua said in reply that He didn't have anywhere in particular to go. He was committed to follow the Father wherever that would be. The excitement of the hour, the miraculous, the approval of the crowds through meeting the needs of the people are not sufficient to
carry through to the self-denial of the way.

The man had his own concepts of discipleship and what it meant, which was according to his own desires. His enthusiasm and zeal was self-orientated.

Discipleship is a personal and total commitment to Y'shua our Messiah!

Are we willing to trust Him wherever He calls us to go and..... whatever He calls us to do?

2. THE PROCRASTINATING MAN

"To another He said, 'Follow me,' but he said, 'Lord, let me first go and bury my father.' But he said to him, 'Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God." Luke 9:59-60

This man had a problem with priority!

In Jewish tradition it was the elder son's responsibility to bury the father. Most probably he was the eldest son, but it is unlikely that his father was already dead. More likely he was considering his future responsibilities, otherwise he would not have been out in the crowd following Y'shua.

He felt he could not leave his elderly father until his obligations were completed and he had fulfilled his duties. His problem then was putting other duties before a commitment to God which should have had first priority. His problem then was putting
something else before God which caused him to be disobedient to the direct call of our Lord, Y'shua the Messiah.

When we put other things before Yahweh they will stumble us in our walk!

Notice!   The man did not offer to follow, Y'shua picked him out and called him to follow Him. This required him to set aside aside his own plans and become committed to do His.

The Spirit of God will often call us at a time when it cuts across our plans and desires to test our obedience.

Take for example when Y'shua called His disciples from their occupation working on their nets,   "They IMMEDIATELY left their nets and followed him."    Matthew 4:20

Abraham is another example, he was willing to give up his only son at the call of Yahweh.

"Seek you first the kingdom of God and his righteousness ......"   Matt.6:33

1. The timing of the call God's call is always at the right time, it will seem inconvenient if we are motivated by personal priorities and are centred on our own plans.

2.
The clarity of the call His call was specific and clear. He will always cause us to understand what He requires of us and wants us to do.

3.
The Suitability of the call Y'shua personally addressed him wi

COME OUT OF AGREEMENT

Today, He is calling you to live a life separated unto Him

He says do not despise the truth for My Words are life and My Words are Truth
He says He knows your heart if it is for Him or half-hearted for Him and if you are willing He can change it for Him
He says your excuses to play in the lusts of your mind your body reveal you do not agree with Him or His way of life because you have given yourself to divers lusts and perverse sins and will to remain mesmerized by the spirits attached to these perversions
He says you are living in times of great doctrinal deception and spiritual wickedness and these liars pervert the truth of My Kingdom and if you continue to agree with them you will not overcome the lie
He says He has called you to walk soberly in the truth and walk separated and holy unto Him and to keep standing strong against sins that will wage warfare against your soul and deceive you
He says that in Him The Living God is the way of truth, the way of life and who will be ever present to up lift you and out pour mercy to you
He says you are to embrace Him for who He is The Living God, declaring what He is able to do in guiding you and bringing you forth out of a crooked way out of the old man and the corruptness of your soul
He says you are to take a hold of hope and restoration that is found in Him and keep yourself unspotted from the world and all lusts and do not agree with the doctrines of man or demons that you will always be homosexual but with the truth of His Word
He says He has called you to walk uprightly and to walk in thankfulness and to walk soberly not in agreement with or in any excuse or with any perverse or unclean person who lives in filthiness of their flesh or who has turned aside to unrighteousness to believe the lie of homosexuality
He says He has called you to come out of agreement with the old you no longer to agree with your memories of a perverse and wicked life or your fickle feelings, you are to refute them and refuse them not sometimes but all the time then you will be renewed in the spirit of your mind then you will know the truth from the lie
He says you are to take on what His Word declares you to be and have no more fellowship with the beliefs and whispers of darkness
He says allow His Spirit to bring you through the painful transformation to live within Godly boundaries in a Kingdom that is not built on flesh or corruption but on Righteousness and Holiness then you shall enter through life's gates not only in the here and now but in the tomorrow of eternity.

"In Scripture we read there are laws against the lusts of the flesh and laws define the character, the holiness and righteousness of God; therefore, lawlessness is defiance to the laws of God, to His will, His instructions of righteousness and His boundaries of righteousness and holiness.

Now we read this according to 1 John 3:4 (New English Version) that

“To commit sin is to break God’s law: sin, in fact, is lawlessness.”

Or as written in the Interlinear

“Everyone practicing sin also practices lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.”

Therefore,

“Little children, let no one lead you astray; the one practicing righteousness is righteous, even as that One is righteous. 8. The one practicing sin is of the Devil, because the devil sins from the beginning, For this the Son of God was revealed, that He undo the works of the Devil.”  1 John 3:7-8

Now let us consider being led astray by a false teaching that you can consciously and willing practice sin “sin is of the devil” and “sin is lawlessness” and not receive the demonic consequence of going out of the boundaries of God’s laws and still enter into the kingdom of God’s blessings.

“Who has bewitched you …” (Galatians 3:1) “who has beguiled you …” (Colossians 2:4) “that you departed from the faith, cleaving to deceiving spirits and teachings of demons…” (1 Timothy 4:1) that you believe such heresy and error, such perversion of the gospel that you can willingly practice sin, willingly practice the occult, delight in unrighteousness without coming under demons of darkness and their works from those transgressions in darkness, “for
the one practicing sin is of the devil.” (1 John 3:8)

Now the devils will and do take grounds because

“…the Spirit expressly says that in the latter times some will depart from the faith, cleaving to deceiving spirits and teachings of demons, in hypocrisy of liars, being seared in their own conscience,” 1Timothy 4:12

And to add to this truth,

“one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully.” 2 Corinthians 11:4 NASB

“in which you then walked according to the course of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit now working in the sons of disobedience;”   Ephesians 2:2


“… heresies … will not inherit the kingdom of God’s” (Galatians 5:20-21)

in other words, blessing for demonic deliverance and for healing will not come forth. If you are led astray under heresies that Christians cannot have demons or do not receive curses, then you will remain unhealed or you may not even by a sovereign act receive your inheritance for your present need of healing and freedom from darkness or fully from your homosexuality.
(See Ephesians 5:3-5 greedy one, filthy joking and foolish talking and, fornicator, unclean one - perversion lusts of all kinds - sodomy/lesbianism all forms of homosexuality, covetous one who is an idolater, “has no inheritance in the kingdom of God.”)

Why? Because your condition may well be a direct result of a curse(s) operative over you and demons being the causation of your infirmity, sickness, illness, disease or condition and your constant mental torment and your twisted spirit. Because of your ignorance or your love of the wages of unrighteousness than the wages of obedience to His laws, His ways, His righteous holy living expectations as one set apart from the world and the course of its ways.

Now recall what is written about the children of God (John 1:12-13; Ephesians 1:13) – sealed with The Holy Spirit, referred to as “cursed children” (2 Peter 2:14) who went astray following the way of Balaam the son of Beor who loved the wages of unrighteousness these are sons of disobedience.

This truth bears witness to children of God, “cursed children” who are those who have The Holy Spirit and as written they are cursed children. The scriptures on the previous page (1 John 3:7-8; 1 Timothy 4:1-2; 2 Corinthians 11:4) reveal demons get ground against Christians. As does written in Luke11:24-26 and 2 Peter 2:13-21 that the demons comes back to enter in and the last things become worse than the first. [a little note to remember: spirits on the inside act as if it is you thinking, if they are on the outside they project and you hear them above your own thinking]

“When the unclean spirit goes out from the man, he goes through dry places seeking rest. And not finding, he says, I will return to my house from where I came out. 26. then he goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and entering he dwells there. And the last things of that man become worse than the first.” Luke 11:24-26


“being about to receive the wages of unrighteousness, having deemed indulgence in the day to be pleasure; reveling in spots and blemishes, feasting along with you in their deceits; 14. having eyes full of an adulteress, and never ceasing from sin; alluring unsettled souls; having a heart busied with covetousness; cursed children; 15. forsaking a straight path, they went astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness, 16. but had reproof of his own transgression-the dumb ass speaking in a man’s voice held back the madness of the prophet. 17. These are springs without water, clouds being driven by tempest, for whom the blackness of darkness is kept forever. 18. For speaking great swelling words of vanity, by the lusts of the flesh, by unbridled lusts, they allure those who were escaping the ones living in error, 19. promising them freedom, though themselves being slaves of corruption; for by whom anyone has been overcome, even to this one he has been enslaved. 20.
for if by a full knowledge of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, they have escaped the defilements of the world, and again being entangled they have been overcome by these, then their last things are worse than the first.21. For it was better for them not to have fully known the way of righteousness, than fully knowing to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.”
2 Peter 2:13-21

Now consider and compare with Ephesians 2:2

“in which you then walked according to the course of this world according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit now working in the sons of disobedience.”  Ephesians 2:2

And also 2 Peter 2:14 and Ephesians 5:5-6

“having eyes full of an adulteress, and never ceasing from sin; alluring unsettled souls; having a heart busied with covetousness; cursed children;”

2 Peter 2:14

“For be knowing this, that every fornicator, or unclean one, or covetous one, who is an idolater, has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christand of God. 6. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for through these the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience.”   Ephesians 5:5-6

And recall God’s character is seen in His laws and His Love has a Holy wrath against all ungodliness (Romans 1:18). Now let us read those who are called children of God are those that have received The Holy Spirit as they have received Jesus Christ as Savior.

“… as many as received Him, to them He gave authority to become children of God, to the ones believing into His name; who were born not of bloods … but were born of God.”  John 1:12-13

So if no Holy Spirit then they are not one of His (Romans 8:9), therefore they are not considered or given the honor of being called or referred to as children of God.

“But you are not in flesh, but in Spirit, since the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone has not the Spirit of Christ, this one is not His.” Romans 8:9

“The Spirit himself witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God.”  Romans 8:16

Now let us read again, that not only are they cursed children of God having demons/spirits because of having forsaking a straight path and or the laws of God (Romans 7:7), but also their last state was worse than the first, giving place to the devil (Ephesians 4:27) so the demon has come back and entered in with seven more. This is the same truth repeated as written about the one demon returning with seven more making that person’s state worse than the first (Matthew 12:43-45, Luke 11:24-26).

“being about to receive the wages of unrighteousness, having deemed indulgence in the day to be pleasure; reveling in spots and blemishes, feasting along side with you in their deceits; 14. having eyes full of an adulteress, and never ceasing from sin; alluring unsettled souls; having a heart busied with covetousness; cursed children;15. forsaking a straightpath, they went astray, following
the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness, 16. but had reproof of his own transgression-the dumb ass speaking in a man’s voice held back the madness of the prophet. 17. These are springs without water, clouds being driven by tempest, for whom the blackness of darkness is kept forever. 18. For speaking great swelling words of vanity, by the lusts of the flesh, by unbridled lusts, they allure those who were escaping the ones living in error, 19. promising them freedom, though themselves being slaves of corruption; for by whom anyone has been overcome, even to this one he has been enslaved. 20. For if by a full knowledge of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, they have escaped the defilements of the world, and again being entangled they have been overcome by these, then their last things are worse than the first. 21. for it was better for them not to have fully known the way of righteousness, than fully knowing to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.”  2 Peter 2:13-16, 20-21

Please note these Scriptures of 2 Peter are written after Calvary, under The Eternal Blood Covenant – The Holy Spirit has been sent therefore this same truth applies for this generation as it did when Jesus spoke this truth in Luke 11:26 that had been spoken prior to the Blood Covenant where The Holy Spirit had not yet been given (John 7:39) to that generation as a sealing of redemption.

“Then he goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked that himself; and entering he dwells there, and the last things of that man become worse than the first.”  Luke 11:26

“then their last things are worse than the first.” 2 Peter 2:20

“the last things of that man become worse than the first.”  Luke 11:26

“the last state has become worse for them than the first.”    2 Peter 2:20 RSV

“ the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.” Luke 11:26 RSV

Now we see and understand this truth why “the one born of God guards himself, and the evil one does not touch him (1 John 5:18; 3:6-12). Because they have departed from the wages of sin, the wages of unrighteousness, the rewards of sin. Because they will not to be bonded to sin which is of the devil (1 John 3:7-8) and they will not to practice lawlessness or disobedience to His laws which is sin (1 John 3:4).

They have set their heart to have their sin and iniquity structures brought to death so they may depart from all iniquity. They seek healing in the areas that keep them bonded to iniquity and where their sin structures are still alive. They want to be without spot or wrinkle for Christ’s return for His spotless Bride.

Even they have departed from iniquity and all unrighteousness; they keep back from every form of evil, not partaking of the table of the Lord and the table of Satan. Recall what happens to Spirit sealed believing Christians who are sick, feeble and or dying early because they have not judged themselves as they have not been spiritually discerning before partaking of communion. (1 Corinthians 11:27-32, 2:15).

They guard themselves; they have totally committed themselves to the Kingdom and its ways, separated from the ways of darkness, the world and the lusts of the flesh. Jesus has become their Lord in every aspect of their lives; bond slaved to the Master, living within the boundaries of the laws of God and keeping them, no longer a slave to unrighteousness, but a slave to righteousness. Knowing they are redeemed from one master to serve another Master, their King of Righteousness, their Jesus Christ their High Priest who is after the order of Melchizedek who has a Kingdom of His written laws from the beginning so as to living according to righteous instructions for living within His boundaries of His Kingdom." 1. [Malligan, 2009:29]

You will settle for less and you will remain in the deception of the label of homosexuality if you do not take a hold of that which Christ Jesus has taken a hold for you; He has given you Himself in His Spirit. His Spirit will cause you to stay dead to sin and alive unto Him. His Spirit will transform you sanctify you refine you and teach you to walk in Kingdom ways with a Kingdom mindset far above the base nature of the flesh far from the labels of the kingdom of man and far far away from the lies of darkness.

Father, where I have back slidden, where I have transgressed You laws with homosexuality in thoughts of fantasy, in a perverse tongue, in flirting, in deeds of pornography and internet chat rooms and in deeds of sexual activity with others I now repent renounce and come out of agreement to this way of life.

I repent of all lust, perversion, masterbation, pornography, sodomy, lesbianism, oral and anal sex and any other sexual or other sins you bring to my mind.

I choose life I choose the blessing of living by Your Kingdoms boundries for I believe You have all I need to overcome and live in righteousness and holiness.

Lord Jesus Christ I ask for the seven fold anointing and the seven Spirits so I can rise up above myself the demons and spirits of Satan, the lusts of the flesh the ways of the world and all fragmentation of the soul, my bonds of iniquity and all lies and deception and strongholds known and unknown; reveal them Father to me and bring them to exposure so they can be brought to death and my heart changed that I no longer walk after these ways.

Father, enable me to rule my spirit and put to death the deeds of the flesh, clothe me in Christ and His righteousness and let each piece of armor be anointed for I yeild my self a new and a fresh to Your Lordship, I surrender my body as an instrument of righteousness a living and holy sacrifice to walk in You Kingdom above the lusts of the flesh the ways of the world and the spirits of darkness.

Enemy I address you from my position in the third heavens far above your principalities and powers and authority. I resist you, I resist your will, I resist your presence and I renounce your ways of homosexuality with all perversion and lusts. I come out of agreement with you, and in every way and every where I have given ground to you spirits of darkness because of my transgressions I take back the ground and command you to leave my body and go to the place The Lord Jesus has assigned of you.
Father breath on my words and deliver me from evil that I may come out of affliction and into the Kingdom of Your Love. I call on the power of The Blood Covenant for deliverance and healing and I choose to take the pathway of restoration and full healing and I take hold of Your truth and renounce the label and identity of homosexuality to come into agreement with You.
In Jesus Name amen.

Allow Him To Train Your Hands To War

Allow Him To Train Your Hands To War

There will come many battles so this will give you opportunities to learn to operate in warfare in a new level. When sexual sin structures have been heart fully repented and stopped in the flesh you can guarantee the spirits will bring back temptation at whatever cost to them. It may be straight forth or months later and you can be guaranteed they will years later. Don't be caught unaware for it may be in your weakest or darkest hour, therefore you come to the place of staying faithful to your Husband and Maker regardless of your pain or your circumstances. Also you will have to learn how to warfare in The Spirit for it is only by His Power by His breath will they be scattered and put to flight.

Spirits no matter if they are in and over your life or what name, title or rank have souls like us with emotions and feelings and they feel pain on their spiritual bodies. So in warfare you can put judgment on them for "this is an honor of all the saints to execute these judgments" (Psm 149:9). One judgment is they can be sore vexed (Psm 2:4-5, 6:7-10, 18:37) another they can be confounded and consumed (Psm 40:14, 71:13) another brought to mental confusion (Psm 35:4, 108:13, 109:29) these will certainly make them desist their moves and or back down from bombarding your mind with sexual desire.

Let The Holy Spirit teach you how to warfare in puriety of The Spirit; that is in His utterance, Him speaking in your language executing the judgments. But you have to know your weapons this is where you have to learn what they are for you will need to in prayer first request what you would like to be put against them.

For example: Father I ask that you confound and consume these spirits that are bringing lust, fantasy and memories of homosexuality against me and at every onset let them be sore vexed.

If He agrees and He will, but He may just want to have them sore vexed so you yeild as if you are going to speak in His heavenly language but He will in english say something like Father in the power and authority of the Name of Jesus I command against the spirits bringing homosexual lust and fantasy that they be confounded and consummed and sore vexed at each onset and I loose Your waring angel to carry out these commands and let this be operative all this day, Amen.

At each onset you just take your thoughts captive, realize He is The Warrior and He is hitting them hard and leave it to Him, it will disipate and you now just get on with your day and enjoy your night.

When we let Him give the judgments then no harm will come upon us "I give you power and authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and then no harm will come upon you." Warfare can be so ineffective when it is done in our steam, or in our authority as Kath the Christian. Why because "Be made strong in the strength of His might" If I cast out demons by the Spirit of God" "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me" "God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power" "the manifestation of the Spirit is given ... kinds of tongues" "the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly but powerful to God to pull down" "the greatness of His power towards us."

Father I surrender my hands to learn how to war, lead me to the Psalms to show me the judgments written, teach me how to enforce Your Covenant warfare against the works of darkness, equip me with various weapon so I may be Spiritually effective in my warfare.
In Jesus Name Amen
