Other Than Yourself

By | Eyesalve

“For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; 27Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.” Hebrews 7:26-27

 

According to the law of the Levitical priesthood, the priest was to offer a lamb first for his sins and then for the sins of the people. Not so with Jesus; First of all He needed not a sacrifice for His sins because He had no sin. Second, He did not offer a lamb, He offered Himself. Jesus set the example. God is not fooled if you try to offer Him something other than yourself.

About Time

By | Eyesalve

Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,  2Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. Hebrews 6:1-2

 

Let me paraphrase what is being said here. “Don’t you think it is about time you grow up?”

Living The Truth

By | Eyesalve

“Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.” I Timothy 4:3

 

There has been a growing movement in our day called the “Hebrew Roots Movement.” It is Christians who are incorporating some of the Old Testament law into their Christianity. One of those laws being not eating certain meat like pork. I guess by keeping some of these rules they feel they are living a deeper committed life to the Lord. But isn’t the deeper committed life believing and knowing the truth? It is living the truth that pleases God. Do not be fooled by this movement if it comes your way.

It’s The Spirit Who Speaks

By | Eyesalve

“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; I Timothy 4:1

Sometimes we forget that whenever someone, whether in the Old or New Testament, prophesied and spoke of something happening in the future, it was the Spirit of God who spoke it.

You’re Saying Nothing Wrong

By | Eyesalve

“But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.” I Thessalonians 2:4

 

One of the most difficult things for any minister to overcome is to not let their preaching be delegated by man. So many cave into the pressure of pleasing man. Even those who are not ministers feel the pressure to say smooth things. God is the final judge of all we say. Be assured that you are saying nothing wrong to anyone if you are pleasing God with what you say.

When A Man Says

By | Eyesalve

“Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.” I Kings 1:5

 

Adonijah said, “I will be king,” when God didn’t choose him. What is even worse than that is when a man says, “I will be a minister,” when God hasn’t chosen him.

Truth Works Effectively

By | Eyesalve

“For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.” I Thessalonians 2:13

 

The difference between a Christian and a sinner is that a sinner can read the word and it can get lodged in his brain, but for the Christian, the word goes far beyond something the mind comprehends, but it works effectively in those who believe.

I Will (#3)

By | Eyesalve

“And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” Mark 8:34

 

The question isn’t, if you can or do you have the ability or do you have to? The question is WILL YOU?

I Will (#2)

By | Eyesalve

“And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” Mark 8:34

 

You can’t make anyone else be willing, but you can have that power over your own self. Don’t let anyone else’s, I WON’T,” keep you from your, “I WILL.”

I Will

By | Eyesalve

“And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” Mark 8:34

 

The word “will” means to determine. It doesn’t mean anything if you say to the Lord, “I WILL,” if your heart isn’t determined to follow through with it. I know this may look like I am oversimplifying what it takes to be a Christian, but it starts when a person says in their heart, I WILL, to God, and they mean it.
