HE IS A JEALOUS GOD for HIS NAME SAKE/ HUMILITY the beginning of SALVATION!!!

HE is a JEALOUS GOD for HIS NAME SAKE!!

EX 34: 14  For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name [is] Jealous, [is] a jealous God:

EXD 20: 50  Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me;

DEUT 6: 15 (For the LORD thy God [is] a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.

1 KINGS 9: 14 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, [even] I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.

NAH 1: 2 God [is] jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and [is] furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth [wrath] for his enemies.

HE is a JEALOUS GOD,

1.    THOU SHALL NOT BOW DOWN/SUBMIT thyself to them, nor serve them

2.    HE is a jealous GOD and can be provoked to anger

3.    HE does not like being FORSAKEN

4.    HE is a jealous LORD, who takes vengeance, who gets furious

IT IS ONLY BY HIS MERCY AND GRACE THAT WE STAND BEFORE HIS THRONE, according the BLOOD SACRIFICE OF THE LAMB, JESUS CHRIST.

EVEN SO,  HIS CHARACTER and ESSENCE has not changed: HE REMAINS a JEALOUS GOD for HIS NAME SAKE.

 HE IS STILL JEALOUS/particular and partial to HIS OWN NAME and to HIS GLORY: IE  OF HIS HOLINESS, HIS NAME, HIS CHARACTER and JUSTICE, and HE WILL NOT SHARE HIS GLORY OR PRAISE with anything that we HOLD at a HIGHER PRAISE and WORSHIP than HIM!!

RECEIVE IT and LET US HUMBLE OURSELVES BEFORE HIM!!!

THE LORD IS JEALOUS/PARTICULAR to HIS OWN CHARACTER, IMAGE, RIGHTEOUSNESS and JUSTICE

The QUESTION IS:

ARE WE JEALOUS/PARTICULAR TO HIS CHARACTER?

ARE WE JEALOUS ENOUGH to LAY OUR LIVES DOWN and PROFESS THAT HE IS THE ONE TRUE GOD??

HAVE YOU or I TAKEN HIS GRACE AND MERCY for OUR OWN ADVANTAGE/vanity?

EX 20: 7  Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain

WE must PRAY that we will find GRACE and MERCY in HIS SIGHT!!! For it is ONLY BY HIS GRACE and MERCY, according to the DEATH of HIS SON, that we can EVEN APPROACH HIS THRONE!!

HE will not share HIS PRAISE, GLORY, with any other IMAGE, IDOL, or whatever we LIFT UP as a god before HIM.

LEV 20: 6 And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people

NEITHER will HE SHARE HIS PROMISES with anyone or anything, that refuses or rejects HIM as the ONE TRUE GOD. And HE has COMMANDED HIS PEOPLE, not to SHARE HIS GLORY with the WORSHIP of IDOLS.

WHY?  Because we a “weak and stiff necked” people, who are influenced and enticed by evil, according to our fleshly desires!!!

HE does not have ask for OBEDIENCE, HE CAN EXPECT IT.

I once heard a man say..  “ I can afford to be arrogant, when I am RIGHT”

I don’t mean that in any disrespectful sense, But GOD is HOLY and RIGHTEOUS, so HE can afford to “EXPECT” anything HE desires from HIS PEOPLE.  

IS 64: 8  But now, O LORD, thou [art] our father; we [are] the clay, and thou our potter; and we all [are] the work of thy hand.

 THE HABITATION of HIS THRONE Is build upon RIGHTEOUSNESS and JUDGMENT.

PS 97: 2 Clouds and darkness [are] round about him: righteousness and judgment [are] the habitation of his throne.

THINK ABOUT THIS PRAYERFULLY:

WHAT IS the MAIN OUTCOME/ GOAL OF SALVATION?

 IT IS to be “CONFORMED and TRANSFORMED” into the IMAGE OF CHRIST.

And SUBMISSION and OBEDIENCE is a important aspect of that sanctification and conformity.

Those that have been REBORN through the “BLOOD OF THE LAMB” will ACKNOWLEDGE that their LIFE STYLE and CHARACTER are being TRANSFORMED and CONFORMED into the IMAGE OF JESUS CHRIST.

Salvation is NOT 1 time experience, or a one time confession of faith.

SALVATION is FIRST an ACKNOWLEDGMENT that GOD EXIST, and that HE IS TRUE AND HOLY, and the “BLOOD” of  JESUS CHRIST  was the ONE TRUE PAYMENT for the PENALTY of OUR CONDEMNATION brought to us by ADAM’S SIN.

It is ALSO a LIFE STYLE, of repentance and submission of being TRANSFORMED and CONFORMED through the KNOWLEDGE of JESUS CHRIST, into the CHARACTER and IMAGE OF JESUS CHRIST.

CONCLUSION:

IT all must begin with TRUE HUMILITY!!

One must first have a REVELATION that HE IS WHO HE says HE IS!! (this comes from the call of GOD, therefore the HOLY SPIRIT is involved)

ONE must ACKNOWLEDGE that HE IS GOD.

ONE MUST ACKNOWLEDGE that his own ways have been in OPPOSITION to GOD’S WAYS.

ONE must REPENT and SUBMIT to HIS CHARACTER and WAYS and make an COMMITMENT to TURN towards JESUS CHRIST to be LEAD and DIRECTED in their LIFE according to HIS PRECEPTS and PRINCIPLES.

(the BIBLE is our WRITTEN CONTRACT, a BOOK inspired by the HOLY SPIRIT, for instruction, correction, remembrance.  REVEALING the character of GOD and HIS DEALINGS with HIS PEOPLE of old and new)

BEING REBORN, means one is given the “WEDDING RING”, a NEW SPIRIT, the HOLY SPIRIT, as a commitment from the LORD TO HIS BRIDE, and ONE begins a NEW LIFE, under the COVENANT RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.

WILL YOU DRAW NEARER TO HIM TODAY, forsake the IDOLS of the WORLD?

Psalm 69:9, “zeal for your house consumes me, and the insults of those who insult you fall on me.” Jesus was deeply wounded by the reproaches on God by those who would bring shame upon the temple.


ARE YOU JEALOUS of YOUR GOD, HIS CHARACTER, HIS HOLINESS, HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS??

FOR HE will not share HIS PROMISES with those that seek to LIVE in the balance!!!  (a LUKE WARM CHURCH)

 HE is A JEALOUS GOD, and will have NO OTHER GOD BEFORE HIM!!!

And HE IS searching for a PEOPLE that are JEALOUS/PARTICULAR and PARTICULAR to HIS CHARACTER, to HIS PRECEPTS and PRINCIPLES.

A people that ACKNOWLEDGE and PROFESS that HE IS the CREATOR, the ONE TRUE GOD,   HOLY/SET APART,  FULL of RIGHTEOUSNESS, JUSTICE, MERCY, GRACE,  and AUTHORITY, etc.

 A PEOPLE that DESIRE, ANGUISH and TRAVAIL to be MORE LIKE HIM,  that will SURRENDER their MIND, BODY and SOUL over for that TRANSFORMATION of  HIS CHARACTER (IMAGE OF CHRIST) To become “WILLING SACRIFICES” and WILLING VESSELS of HIS GOOD USE and PRAISE

THOSE that will CAST OFF THE IMAGINATIONS of their “FLESH” of things of this WORLD that exalt itself above the HIGHER DIVINE KNOWLEDGE of HIS CHARACTER and HIS IMAGE, that will surrender to HIM, for that CONFORMITY and TRANSFORMATION of HIS SON JESUS CHRIST.

THE POSITIONAL CONDITION OF SALVATION:

IS to be CONFORMED and TRANSFORMED INTO JESUS CHRIST and to have ON the APPROPRIATE GARMENT OF PRAISE!!!

WILL YOU BE READY at HIS RETURN??

IS your HEART CLEAN are your HANDS CLEAN?? 

ARE YOU TRULY SOLD OUT to JESUS CHRIST, for your "FAITH" is about to be TESTED in WAYS that WE have never seen before!!!

ROMANS 14: 11  For it is written, [As] I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

EP 3: 14  For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

PHIL 2: 10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth;

IT WILL NOT BE EMPOWERED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, UNLESS IT IS "OF" GOD.

PRAYERFULLY go and see what that means.

CAST OFF  YOUR "FIG LEAFS OF ADAM" and KNOW YOUR GOD, for HE IS HOLY!!!


ANGUISH by DAVID WILKERSON:  I BELIEVE DAVID WILERSON SAYS IT BEST..

THERE IS NO ANGUISH OVER SIN ANYMORE!!!

WILL THE LORD'S LONGSUFFERING COME to an end!!

THERE IS NO HOPE without the CHURCH BREAKING, and coming to HUMILITY BEFORE GOD.
