THE SIN OF YOU

THE SIN OF YOU

When your schedule, your comfort, your privacy, your fun, your rest, your sleep, your vacation, your family, or your anything, causes you to disobey Me, then your life is still all about you! One lie makes you a liar, stealing once makes you a thief, killing one person makes you a murderer. Disobey once and you are disobedient. My Father told Moses to ... speak unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink. [10] But Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock? [11] And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also. [12]And My Father told Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed Me not, to obey Me in front of the children of Israel, you will not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them." Numbers 20:8,10-12 (KJV)

The red sea parting, the burning bush, the plagues, none of these great feats counted at this point. He disobeyed in front of the people, and lost out on the full meaning of the whole reason for his existence. When the ministry, the calling, the Christian life is all about what it does for you, it's a major sin. It means you have taken it upon yourself to sit in My seat and center everything around your pleasure. In effect, what you are saying is, if what the King demands, meets my criteria, I will carry it out! Where you go and what you do, is not up to the kingdom person, but determined by the king.

You may be the most safety conscious person in the world, but disobey the traffic signal once, and your life of caution is over. Be thankful all disobedience is not so severe, but which disobedience is the big one, which one keeps you out of the promised land? Surrender means there is no more you in the equation. When all your rights are willingly and joyfully handed over to the king, you become a citizen of the kingdom. Self dies extremely hard and will play possum many times for years, but you must "know this, that when you are truly born again, your old man is crucified with Me, that your sinful flesh might be destroyed, that henceforth you should not serve your sinful self." Romans 6:6 (KJV)

It's not easy to fully surrender, so during the death process 

you must "consider yourselves also dead to sin and self, and your relation to it broken, and alive to God living in unbroken fellowship with Him in Christ Jesus. [12] Let not sin therefore rule as king in your mortal (short-lived, perishable) bodies, to make you yield to its cravings and be subject to its lusts and evil passions." Romans 6:11-12 (AMP) Sometime today, you will battle the sin of you, even right now you may contemplating sining, by rushing out the door and thinking, I don't have time to wait on the King, I am late for MY APPOINTMENT! HE'LL HAVE TO WAIT!

No big deal, you say! That's what most people say, about hitting a rock with a stick, instead of speaking to it. Ask Moses if was a big deal. In the kingdom, self is a very, very big deal! If you are in the christian scene, to accomplish your own agenda, or because you feel good being in charge of people, you are not in My kingdom yet. Multitudes make a good living off so-called Christianity, and have never been born again. They can sing beautiful, or preach fantastic, but if things are not done their way, life is really miserable all around them. They refuse to die to self, but are able to keep self alive under the banner of Christian leadership. Until the I rule your everything, I am not your King, you are. If there is the tiniest, "what's in it for me" left, you and not dead to self yet. My blood will save you, but your life is in vain, because it's still all about you friend!
