“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

John 15: 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

Hallelujah

Let us be the friends of Christ

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past day, we meditated regarding the deeds of the wickedness which makes us drown in the pleasures of the world and does not allow us to be filled with glory, which is God’s house and in that the deeds of the Gentiles (Oholah) is Samaria and that she is naked, a type of Bride, the church. The explanation of this is that regarding our soul getting infatuated Ezekiel 23: 9, 10 “Therefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, for whom she lusted.

They uncovered her nakedness, took away her sons and daughters, and slew her with the sword; She became a byword among women, for they had executed judgment on her.

My dear people, if our soul leaves Christ and loves any other thing of the world and in that love becomes infatuated our soul will be killed by God’s sword. 

That is, our Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 10: 26 – 31 Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed and hidden that will not be known.

“Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. 

And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 

Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. 

But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 

Do not fear; therefore, you are of more value than many sparrows.

When we meditate upon the word of God written above, whom should we love? Who is our friend? Our Lord Jesus Christ. If we forget this and if we love anything else from the depths of our soul, God is saying that friendship with the world is enmity with God. Therefore, God kills the soul of those living in this manner with the sword, which is the word of God. In this manner, many people’s souls are in a killed situation and are living stuck to the world. That is why word of God says that you are alive, but you are dead.  That is why in 1 Timothy 5: 6 But she who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives.

This is because in Ecclesiastes 9: 3, 4 This is an evil in all that is done under the sun: that one thing happens to all. Truly the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil; madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead. 

But for him who is joined to all the living there is hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

(After taking covenant with God if we get stuck in the pleasures of the world and instead of our soul being dead, it is better that we do not take a covenant).

Because after we are saved if we will go far away from God, he will put our iniquity on us and will lead us to into more evil and with fierce wrath he will manifest within us. Also, we will be continually judged with the judgement of fire.

2 Peter 2: 20 – 22 For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. 

For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. 

But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog returns to his own vomit,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”

My dear people, in whatever circumstance we must not go far away from God, whatever anyone may say we must not fear but we must always obey the voice of God and we must be watchful so that our situation does not become worse.

This is because our Lord Jesus Christ is telling in John 15: 13 – 15 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. 

You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. 

No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.

In this manner, since Christ has made us as friends, God does not like us to give place for any other love of the world. If we keep any other love in our soul we will be stuck in that infatuation and will be handed over with anger to the Assyrians, who are Gentiles to be made naked. Then we will be handed over in the hands of mighty one. Also, with decorations of the world we will have glory in the sight of others. But in the sight of God we will be naked. Let us submit ourselves so that we will not be naked in this manner, but we will all change as God’s friends so that we can give good fruits and so that our fruits will abide in Christ. 

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
