Guard against Error

No one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:3 Scripture reading: John 13:1–20

Many evil, deceiving spirits have been sent forth in the last days who endeavor to rob Jesus of His lordship and of His rightful place. Many people are opening the doors to these latest devils, such as New Theology and New Thought and Christian Science. These evil cults deny the fundamental truths of God’s Word. They all deny eternal punishment and the deity of Jesus Christ.
God’s command is for us to “be filled with the Spirit” (Eph. 5:18). We are no good if we only have a full cup. We need to have an overflowing cup all the time. It is a tragedy not to live in the fullness of overflowing. See that you never live below the overflowing tide. Amen

Compassion for the Lost

I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” Isaiah 6:8
Scripture reading: Isaiah 6

Is it possible, after we have been baptized with the Holy Spirit, to be satisfied with what we see? Jesus  weeped over Jerusalem because He had a compassionate heart.
We need to cry to God until He brings us up to the “measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ” (Eph. 4:13).
Jesus  told in Luke 10:30 of a man who went from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into theives.
Who among those who passed by and saw his predicament was his neighbor? The one who had mercy on him and helped him (vv. 36–37). Are you awake to the great fact that God has given you eternal life? With the power God has put at your disposal, how can you rest as you look out upon your neighbors? How we have sinned against God! How we lack this spirit of compassion! Do we weep as we look out upon the unsaved? If not, we are not Pentecost-full. Jesus was moved with compassion. Are you? Amen

Endure Temptation

Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. James 1:12 Scripture reading: Psalm 139

People do not know what they are getting when they are in a great place of temptation. Temptation endured brings the “crown of life.”
There is nothing outside of purity except what is sin. All unbelief is sin. God wants you to have a pure, active faith so that you will be living in an advanced place of believing God all the time, and so that you will be on the mountaintop and singing when other people are crying. Amen

Complete, Lacking Nothing

Let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
James 1:4
Scripture reading: Psalm 91

To be “complete” means that you are not moved by anything, that you are living only in the divine position of God. It means that you are not moved, that you are not changed by what people say. There is something about divine acquaintance that is instilled; it is worked within a person by the mighty God.
Accepting Christ as Savior builds the character of a person in purity until his inward heart is filled with divine love and has nothing but thoughts of God alone. “That you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” Amen

More Precious than Gold

That the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, 1 Peter 1:7
Scripture reading: 1 Peter 1

God never breaks His promise. The trial of your faith is “much more precious than gold.”
God wants to destroy the power of the Devil. He wants to move you so that in the face of hardships, you will praise the Lord.
“Count it all joy” (James 1:2). You have to take a leap today; you have to leap into the promises. You have to believe that God never fails you; you have to believe it is impossible for God to break His word. He is “from everlasting to everlasting” (Ps. 90:2).
Amen

Hold Fast to the Vision

Where there is no vision, the people perish. Proverbs 29:18 kjv
Scripture reading: Acts 26:1–29

We must see the face of the Lord and understand His workings.
A man must have immovable faith, and the voice of God must mean more to him than what he sees, feels, or what people say. He must have an originality born in heaven, transmitted or expressed in some way. We must bring heaven to earth.
At the end of Ephesians 3 are words that no human could ever think or write on his own. This passage is so mighty, so of God when it speaks about His being able to do all things “exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think” (v. 20). The mighty God of revelation! The Holy Spirit gave these words of grandeur to stir our hearts, to move our affections, to transform us altogether. Amen

Faithful Servants

His lord said to him, “Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.” Matthew 25:21 Scripture reading: Matthew 25:14–30

God wants you to be “more than conquerors” (Rom. 8:37). The baptism of the Spirit has come for nothing less than to possess the whole of our lives. It sets up Jesus as King, and nothing can stand in His holy presence when He is made King. Everything will wither before Him.
This is hard for most of the Church  today to grab a hold of, because the Holy Spirit  is viewed in such a way by many Christians they are not taught that the Holy Spirit is the very continuing  earthly ministry of Christ.
We are to seek those who are lost (the world) yes, also faith for what they face now plus hope for the future.  Amen
