What value is
our WITNESS?
Ivan Pattison,
Should we go places
without Jesus, and yet some make a practice of going places where Jesus, and the Holy Spirit cannot go, so why are we going to
these places.
I know Jesus went into
many places, that He sat with sinners, but it was
always for the Heavenly cause, never to satisfy His flesh, or to satisfy His
eyes.
Most of the TV shows,
Jesus and the Holy Spirit has to leave the room, so do we want to be watching
something that Jesus and the Holy Spirit cannot stay to watch. Do we really
want to be in a place, or in a room that is void of Jesus and the Holy Spirit?
Are we covering
ourselves each day with the Blood of Jesus, and putting our armour
on, so therefore going forward under His protection. Are we reciting Psalm 91
each day, not only for ourselves but for our whole family, again for
protection, against the wiles of the devil?
Eph
If we take the right
measures of protection, then we go in the strength of Jesus, and our day will
be victorious, amen!!
Are we taking Jesus
every where we go, He must be in our conversation, He must be in our actions,
He is a must, if we truly want the best from Heaven.
We must never be
somewhere that Jesus and the Holy Spirit can’t be seen in.
Mat
If we do not
witness before men, then Jesus will not witness for us before the Father
In the
these last days, that which will get us through, will be our testimony,
and the Blood of Jesus. Let us get used to testifying now, and claiming the
Blood, for our Deliverance, in all circumstances.
Hbr
12:2 Looking unto Jesus
the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him
endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right
hand of the throne of God.
Where do we, that is YOU and I stand in enduring our Cross, and
Despising the shame of our cross: Are we enduring the Cross, and despising the
shame of it, and is our witness, as it should be. Are we living a comfortable
life, while so many are going to HELL!!
Do we go out and
boldly witness for our Jesus? Do we boldly witness to what the cross means to
us, the same cross, that Jesus died on, and where we have laid our sins, or
have we hung onto our pet sins, and they are stopping us from witnessing in the
way we should be witnessing.
I have noticed that
the Christians who have held onto their pet sins, find
it much harder to witness, especially when they are looking to fulfill the
lusts of the flesh, in whatever area they are obeying the flesh in.
Obeying the flesh is
not only sexual, but any other area that our desires are controlled by the
flesh, and there are many.
Whatever controls us
other than God and His Word, is of the flesh.
There was a no truer
saying, and quite commonly used years ago, and it is this:
NO CROSS
- NO CROWN
How so true, if we do
not carry our cross today, then there will be no crown at the end of our
journey here on earth.
Before Jesus comes there
will be a much greater falling away, and many laying
down their cross as it has become too out of place in this world.
We are now on the rim
of darkness upon this earth, when we will not be able to be open with our
witnessing here in the Western world, and so as David Wilkison
Prophesied, in his book, "The Vision", that the Western world will
close down, and those whose countries that have been closed down for years,
will open up. How sad that we have not been the people we should have been, and
we, that is many of us, have allowed satan to expand his kingdom, while God’s Kingdom has gone
wanting.
A kingdom divided
against itself will fall, and Christianity has been
divided by different Christian religions, and individual ideas, and if someone
doesn’t toe the line in the way a religion, or a individual wants that person
to toe the line then there is always some one on the outer.
Luk
When we have accepted
Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, then we should become
one family, and one body, not divided as we are today, and sadly to say, the
Christian Church today being a body of Christ is far from the truth.
We call ourselves the
Body of Christ, but in my opinion, we are far from it, one Christian religion criticising another, one Christian criticising
another, has brought much division.
Rom 12:5 So we, [being] many, are one
body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
Haven’t we as
Christians, turned every one to their own way.
I look forward to
these end times hardships coming to Christians for one reason, as it will bring
the true believers together, and we will not be concerned about what religion
we belong to, or what the other person does right or wrong, we will come
together as one body in Christ Jesus.
The ones who are not
serious now, will have to become serious for Jesus, or go the other way at
sometime or another.
Isa
53:6 All we
like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the
LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Shalom Ivan
