Before there can be a birthing out,
there has to be a desire; a desire to know, to see and to hear. After desire
will come pursuit, a birthing out. Yet where is the power today? We have been
called in the name of Jesus, and there is power even in the act of being
called.
Revelation 3:1-3_´These things
says He who has the seven spirits of God...¨I know your works, that you have a
name that you are alive, but you are dead…strengthen the things that remain,
that are ready to die,…I will come upon you as a thief…¨
Revelation 3:15-22_...you are
neither cold nor hot…because you are lukewarm,…I will vomit you out of My
mouth…
Matthew 5:13-16_¨You are the
salt of the earth…¨You are the light of the world…Let your light so shine
before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in
heaven.
Let us live by this truth that we are
the salt and light of the earth and world. If we do this, we will not be
deceived. In the book of Judges, Samson deceived himself and this led straight
to his downfall, even though he still delivered the Israelites from the hand of
the Philistines.
Lukewarmness equals comfortable complacency
yet hotness calls for a Nazarite kind of lifestyle. We have been called to put
on the armor of God and there is neither cold nor lukewarmness about it!
Ephesians 6:14_Stand
therefore…
- Many have put off the belt of truth: being deceived. Verse 14.
- Many have put down the sword of the Spirit: being ignorant and without faith. Verse 17.
- Many have put off the breastplate of righteousness: becoming unjust. Verse 14
- Many have put off the shoes of peace: becoming restless. Verse 15.
Yet not one piece of the armor is
sufficient in itself alone…but all together.
2 Peter 1:3_as His divine
power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through
the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,
