Are We Bearing The Marks Of God’s Sword ? | Video

I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. Luke 12:49-53

..Yield over to the Spirit of God. Yielding starts by being honest before God. Sometimes you can’t yield because you’ve never told Him that you don’t want to yield. God knows you don’t want to yield so why don’t you tell Him you don’t want to yield over to Him? But at the same time you know that He’s right. That is being honest instead of wearing that mask that we do. Tell Him you find it difficult. Tell Him you don’t want to yield in your flesh.. You can’t love that person in the natural. He knows and He’s there ready to listen. He is your Father and He loves you and you cannot hide from Him. ‘ Are We Bearing The Marks Of God’s Sword ? ‘

Tell Him

He knows these things that we can still harbour and hold in the heart. Then tell Him and you watch how he’ll move heaven and earth if need be to work in you His will because His will is always the best. It is never wrong. That’s why God loves obedience – He says it’s better than sacrifice.. than anything else. He asks obedience of us because He knows we can’t do it. It’s impossible for us. Why couldn’t He ask of us something else? He asks of us that obedience because it’s God in you working it for His glory. He knows you can’t obey or follow Him – that you can’t meet any of this. It’s by His mercy and grace, it’s as we bow our knee in a hopeless state.. in absolute honesty. He then raises us up in His strength and power. And He gets the Devil off your back because you can’t get him off your back.

Absolute Honesty

Why am I talking in this way? Because I’m talking about the sword.. about what divides. God is dividing those things in our life where we’ve still got wrong affections. Where there’s still idolatry, where we’re still looking to man and not God. Where we’re still trusting in the arm of the flesh and not God and His promises. That’s why I’m talking like I am. because the only way you will trust God – the only way you will walk by faith is to be honest in His presence and tell Him.

Yield To The Sword

I will tell you something as your pastor. Years back God brought me to a place where I had to be completely honest with Him and tell Him I didn’t love Him as I should. And I was harbouring that for a long time. But He knew, he knew. He didn’t reject me, He didn’t whip me. It was like He said ‘ at last you have been honest before me. ‘ It was like He gave me an ultimatum. He said ‘ what do you want do you want to love me with all your mind soul and being, is that what you want? ‘ I said ‘ yes Lord it is what I want but I don’t do it. ‘ ‘ Ok, Faith, trust me and you watch. ‘ And do you know what – God did work that and He is working that – because He is faithful. Because I don’t fight against division, I don’t fight against this sword that comes down to divide. There are too many in the House of God that fight against this sword. And those who yield over to the sword of the Spirit will bear the marks of God’s sword.. .. ..

And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. And the gospel must first be published among all nations. But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Mark 13:3-13
He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. Proverbs 13:20
Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate: For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them. Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul. Proverbs 22:22-25
I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked. I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD: That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works. LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth. Psalm 26:4-8
