What Say Ye?

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Edmund Burke

Mark 10:18 (TLV) 18 “Why do you call Me good?” Yeshua said to him. “No one is good except One—that is God.  source

Acts 10:38 (KJV) 38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.  source

Philippians 4:13  (KJV) 13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. source

1 Corinthians 3:9 (KJV) For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building. source 

All this considered, what would your take away counsel be?

Not for Sissies

The Bible is not for sissies.   I’m still in Acts 13.

49 Now the word of the Lord spread throughout the whole region. 50 But the Jewish leaders incited the God-fearing women of high standing and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and they drove them out of their district. 51 But Paul and Barnabas shook the dust off their feet against them, and they went on to Iconium. 52 And the disciples were filled with joy and the Ruach ha-Kodesh.  source

The influential church ladies and the leading men, (notice the women are mentioned first) people with a form of godliness but no relationship with YESHUA, (see 2 Timothy 3:5-7) rose up against the people of GOD.

I am seeing a form of this today.  Media has streamed it right into our living rooms: Influential women who talk a good game of helping women have joined forces and voices (and some men have joined them) to speak against and ‘run out of town’ the people of GOD.

So what do we do? The same as did Paul and Barnabas. Let us be filled with the HOLY SPIRIT and the Joy of the LORD, shake off the dust and move on to those who have not considered themselves UNFIT for the Salvation of GOD.   (verse 46)

Keep Pursuing Him  ΑΩ

Unfit?

Having a good time with Acts 13 this morning!

Just one nugget – maybe :)

46 Both Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, “It was necessary for the word of God to be spoken to you first. Since you reject it and judge yourselves unfit for eternal life—behold, we turn to the Gentiles.  source

Since you reject it and judge yourselves unfit for eternal life–

How many folks have judged themselves unfit for eternal life? It is the HOLY SPIRIT’s operation (see John 16:8) to come to individual souls and offer Eternal Life to them and when that individual says NO, by that decision that one has judged himself/herself UNFIT for eternal life.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.  source

May it dawn upon us: He didn’t have to (condemn us) because we had already condemned ourselves!

HE CAME TO SAVE! Dare we call ourselves unfit anymore?

Keep Pursuing Him  ΑΩ
