Are We WISE MASTERBUILDER’S?

Are We WISE MASTERBUILDER’S?

Did you know that we are not only the TEMPLE of the HOLY SPIRIT, but that we are in the PROCESS of building that TEMPLE in which HE DWELLS?

One stone at a time, conformed in the Image of CHRIST, laid upon the Foundation of CHRIST, molded, measured and purified through the fire, sanctified, calibrated to be conformed in the same IMAGE of the CORNERSTONE of our faith.

Have you been SEPARATED, set apart from this WORLD, by the BLOOD of the LAMB?

Have you been Baptisted by JESUS CHRIST, is the HOLY SPIRIT indwelling in you?

So What’s NEXT?  I have EXCITING NEWS for you!! That is NOT the END, but a NEW BEGINNING.

You are now on a JOURNEY of conformity, adding WISDOM and INSTRUCTION from GOD for your life.

 That you can live a LIFE of HOLINESS/SET APART through HIS INSTRUCTIONS: : a LIFE of JUSTICE,  RIGHTEOUSNESS, MERCY, LOVE, ETC.

Through SURRENDER and CONFORMITY and empowerment of the HOLY SPIRIT:

ARE OUR LIVES being CHANGED DAILY through that SURRENDER and SUBMISSION that we may RESIST the wiles of the DEVIL, and be CONFORMED into the IMAGE OF CHRIST?

Are you SEEKING GOD through PRAYER and STUDY, that HIS CHARACTER and HIS WAYS can be REVEALED?  Prayer and Study are like a mirror in our LIVES, being COMPARED to the LIFE OF CHRIST. 

We see CHRIST through these things and DARKNESS within us is REVEALED and CONSUMED through HIS HOLINESS. . Through that REVELATION we are brought to repentance and conformity.

WHO IS YOUR MASTER?

As long as you are walking upon the earth, You are at WORK either doing the WORK of the enemy or the WORK of GOD. Let our WORK be the WORK of GOD’S building stones in our LIFE, tried by fire to be purified as LIVING STONES of HIS CHARACTER and DISCIPLINES and the PRECEPTS that are of  HIS CHARACTER.

There is only one foundation in which other blocks/ doctrines are laid.

That is upon the FOUNDATION of JESUS CHRIST.

As we grow IN that REBIRTH/REBORN process, the WORKS of our hands begin to “add building blocks” of doctrine and precepts upon that foundation.

EACH of those building blocks must be TRIED by FIRE, Purified in order to stand FIRMLY on that foundation:

Are We WISE MASTERBUILDER’S

1 Corinthians 3: 10 – 17

According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

Paul admonishes us here to take HEED how we build upon that foundation.  

Only what has been tried and purified by THE LORD will be able to stand the winds and storms.

LET us RELEASE and SURRENDER OUR LIVES to HIM, that the WALLS we build up, will be WALLS of PURE and HOLY DOCTRINE:

 

 Ez 13: 11 describes this as untemper or temper mortar in the wall. Whatever doctrine or Works are added to our lives must be temper (brought through the fire) with the TRUTH.

Otherwise .. it shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it.

EZ 13: 14 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered mortar, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovereered and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and YE SHALL KNOW THAT I AM the LORD.

For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Salvation is based upon the SACRIFICE of JESUS CHRIST: HIS Death, Resurrection alone is the FOUNDATION of our SALVATION. 

HE is the SAVIOR and LORD:

Through HIS BAPTISM we are given the HOLY SPIRIT. IT is only through the HOLY SPIRIT that we are REBORN, and brought into the KINGDOM OF GOD.

Our LIVES should REFLECT the CHARATER of JESUS CHRIST:

Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble.

1 Cor 3: 14  If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

1 Cor 3: 15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire

If the works of our hands have been PURIFIED and GONE through the FIRE, then there is a REWARD at the END. IF our lives are build upon anything other than the WORD of GOD, having our Flesh mortified by the HOLY SPIRIT, that we may LIVE through that RESURRECTED LIFE.

All of our works will burn and brought to NOUGHT.

1 Cor 3: 16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

1 Cor 3: 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are.

The BUILDING BLOCKS of our temple:

IF you have JOY, let it be in the JOYOUS RELATION YOU have WITH JESUS!!

NO matter where you are on this JOURNEY, continue to RUN that RACE of SUBMISSION and RESTORATION, towards the HIGHER CALLING OF GOD.

LORD, Give us a HEART of SURRENDER, that the WALLS that we build be build YOUR HOLINESS and TRUTH, that the STONES that are added to our foundation, the FOUNDATION of YOU be PRECEPTS, principles and Doctrines of TRUTH.

Break down the walls that are not build upon the Foundation of YOU.

Give us HEARTS of  SURRENDER, that the deceptions and lies we added to our lives can be BURNED UP through the FIRE of YOUR HOLINESS, cause them to TUMBLE in the WIND and STORMS.

Give us Guidance, Direction, Wisdom, understanding, and pure doctrines, PRECEPTS upon PRECEPTS that reflect YOU OH  LORD, YOUR HOLINESS, YOUR JUSTICE, AND YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

We ask that YOU give an increaseof YOUR SPIRIT of TRUTH in us, we ask that you give us the strength to have SURRENDERED HEARTS that our flesh can be overcome and mortified through YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, and that we can submit to TRUTH in our lives that we can be a LIVING SACRIFICE. A CANDLE on a HILL, a TREASURE in your eyes.

 A witness of YOUR GOOD GRACE, MERCY, JUSTICE, and RIGHTEOUSNESS AMEN, IN JESUS NAME WE PRAY . 

DON'T DELAY, SEEK a HEART OF SURRENDER AND OBEDIENCE TODAY!!!!

WHILE I AM WAITING:

2 Corinthians 6: 4 –

 But in all [things] approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;

By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,

By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and [yet] true;

As unknown, and [yet] well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;

As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and [yet] possessing all things.

2 Corinthians 6: 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

18.  Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you,

19. and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
