No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. John 6:44,45 KJ
Many talk about their being good and having a good heart! God Says our righteousness in His Sight is like filthy rags; and that the heart of man is deceitful and desperately wicked! Who is right? God of course! To access the Father, only one Way/Source, Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God! Nobody can come to God (Jesus Christ) except He Draws them. Hence, the appropriateness of the song - Draw me to Yourself that I might be a worshiper and true; let Your Presence come and flood my heart till all I see is You!!!
For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. Romans 8:6-8 NASB
Many are with a deadly death mindset because they are very worldly, fleshly in disposition and orientation! Therefore, they are hostile to God; and cannot please God. Remember, without faith no man can please God; and it takes faith to obey and live a Godly life in Christ Jesus! Truth is very constant; your denial of Truth never changes Truth! The choice is very much yours!!!
With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed--an accursed brood! 2 Peter 2:14 NIV
What's in your eyes? Your focus is ultimately the content of your eyes! Take your eyes of Jesus Christ and the objects of your fascination will be lodged in your eyes! Father in the Name of Jesus Christ, Help me to keep my focus on Jesus Christ. Amen!!!
When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. 'Lord,' he said, 'my servant lies at home paralysed, suffering terribly.' Jesus said to him, 'Shall I come and heal him?' The centurion replied, 'Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, "Go," and he goes; and that one, "Come," and he comes. I say to my servant, "Do this," and he does it.' When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, 'Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.'Matthew 8:5-9
Jesus Christ asked if He should go and Heal the centurion's servant at his home! He was in awe of Jesus Christ (and that must have been in faith)! He declined! How many of you church goers would decline a visit from your General Overseer? Hmmm! How many GOs would even volunteer like Jesus did? The centurion's faith increased with his response that all Jesus Christ needed to do was Speak the Word and it would be! He even likened this to his giving instructions to his subordinates in his profession! Wow! Truly, what a faith; even as commended by Jesus Christ Himself!!!
(10) Hear the word of the LORD, You rulers of Sodom; Give ear to the law of our God, You people of Gomorrah: (11) "To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me?" Says the LORD. " I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams And the fat of fed cattle. I do not delight in the blood of bulls, Or of lambs or goats. (12) "When you come to appear before Me, Who has required this from your hand, To trample My courts? (13) Bring no more futile sacrifices; Incense is an abomination to Me. The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting. (14) Your New Moons and your appointed feasts My soul hates; They are a trouble to Me, I am weary of bearing them. Isaiah 1:10-14
All our sacrifices are in vain and displeasing to God; especially when we do not back up such with godly living in obedience to the Word of the Living God! Your gathering becomes a trampling of His Courts (totally disrespectful)! Your offerings which you brag freely about and is all important to you are futile in the Eyes of God; as well as your sacred several meetings! Hmmm! Is God Saying something to us all? I'd say yes He Is! Is anyone listening though? Hmmmm!!!
(21) " I hate, I despise your feast days, And I do not savor your sacred assemblies. (22) Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them, Nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings. Amos 5:21-22
If it does appear (and yes it does to me) that God is not listening to nor accepting/answering our prayers; and all sorts of abominable things (Egyptian things) are happening to us and all around us, we need to rethink! Something is very much not right! Please Father, Open our eyes to see; Show us what we're doing wrong and where we're going wrong in Jesus' Name!!!
