yesterdays post:- Matthew 8: 1-17 Genesis 25,26
so i am going to speak about 2 things...first Matthew 8 verse 4.
'4 And Jesus said to him, See that you tell no one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.'
at first i did not understand..i thought 'why would Jesus not want him to tell anyone that he was healed? so i read it again...and i thought about it..Jesus didnt want him to TELL anyone but SHOW them that he was healed. For example, i get healed, Jesus would rather me come to you and show you..'look ive been healed! i had this before and now its gone!' to show you evidence of my healing rather then me just call you on the phone and tell you because you wouldnt be able to see the proof.
Jesus didnt want the leprous man to just go around telling everyone that he was healed, but rather go to them and SHOW them that he was healed, to those that knew him when he had leprosy, to show Gods power and be a testimony! This is what we should do with our lives...instead of just going around telling everyone what God has done for us, we should show it, its much more powerful! because who can deny action? who can deny if they physically see? its easy to disregard word, but when you see it with your own eyes you can deny! Actions speak louder then words!
Verses 10 - 12 this is a very strong one ESPECIALLY for you who have been in the church for YEARS and are still in the SAME POSITION...LISTEN UP!
'10 When Jesus heard it,He marveled, and said to those who followed, Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!11 And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.12 But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
dont understand? im not going to go into a long explanation just straight to the point. Many will come from the east and the west, and will go to Heaven, the the 'SONS' of the Kingdom will be cast into outer darkness.
Meaning...you have been there for years in the church you are supposedly a 'son' of the kingdom...but many will come from east and west, and will over take you, they will take YOUR seats, not just in the church, but YOUR seats in HEAVEN, they will come and pass you, what you have been fighting for in year they will do in months, not because they are better NO but because they made the decision and did whatever it takes to do it. but the 'sons' meaning those that have been in the church for ages will be cast out into the darkness.
What a shame! Your place in Heaven is being taken by those coming after you, from the east and the west. and whats even more revolting is some of you ACCEPT IT! 'oh they dont know what im going through etc. etc.' excuses! if they can do it why cant you?! the only person stopping you is YOURSELF stop complaining and start acting! stop talking and start MOVING, because if you dont MORE people will come to take up YOUR seat in the church and in HEAVEN, and you will still be there moaning, complaining, and eventually you will be cast out. So while your still in the presence of God MOVE! get going! because everyday without the Holy Spirit is a RISK and you could leave tomorrow! so get going what are you waiting for? for 10 more people to take the place that should be yours?!
