Paul is our earthly example of a person who is the Righteousness of God. He was flesh and blood and takes away every excuse why it is possible to be not conformed to this world. Our Salvation may be secure with blood but our reward is not. We must humble ourselves to the Word and what is clearly stated for the Blessings of God to be poured out. Without a right attitude and appropriate action of the mind, body, and spirit; all our efforts to love God will be of no effect. Don’t we know that God knew of Lucifer’s desires? Yet, in the same action, he professed to love God. What becomes his eventual demise through the acts of disobedience was planted with the seed of hypocrisy. For by the words being opposite to thoughts are there conflicts, producing rage within the spirit towards guilt manifesting unease within and exposure by the body; until both must be reconciled having to obey the adamant thoughts expressed into actions. From Hypocrisy comes disobedience and the flesh does not lie to what is in the mind.

Letter to the Faithful.
Sept. 12, 2016.

 

Be not conformed to the things of this world. This one statement says it all. That as Christians we are to not follow, comply or deal with how the world does things. The only thing that Jesus tells us is to obey is the appointed authorities; to render to them. So must we render to the body as Christ did to His Father. As a father renders to God; so does his wife to him and their children to them; and to the body as appropriate. When it comes to our daily walk of storing up Heavenly treasures, we must act accordingly as the bible and the Holy Spirit directs us. This is difficult for many who having grown up in the ways of the world and now must renew their minds towards the things of Christ, having accepted His blood for their freedoms, should now live as the price dictates. We can never compromise the Word, for it is life and healing to all the flesh; but more importantly, it is the very foundation that we will be judged at the Heaven seat. We have been left not only with Jesus’ examples but guidelines and instructions that were Spirit inspired most of by Paul; who by selection became the sternest champion and implementer of the Faith.

 



 

Not all have been a hypocrite and with His Grace, many do not need to be. But by His Word are we conformed to a better and spiritual nature. We must live for the Word and allow the Word to live through us. Our attitudes, actions, and words must all line up with the Word. The world is full of hypocrisy and having to partake in it many succumb to its deceptions. It is why we must make the Word absolute and with every thought, word and action become slaves to its instructions, directions, and nature. It is why a lamp is not put under a table but placed where everyone cannot avoid its illumination all the while it disperses and clears the darkness so that all may see what is real and not hidden by shadows. If God expelled hypocrisy, disunity, and disobedience from His Heavenly Throne so that all Grace, Righteousness, and Holiness prevail, then we ought to do the same. For are we not His children, washed in the Righteous blood to be Righteous ourselves and as such cannot allow these evils to prevent and withhold all God’s intent for us, which is why we pray “His Kingdom, His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven”. Therefore, be not conformed to this world!

Selah.
