LET THE HOLY SPIRIT DO HIS JOB

LET THE HOLY SPIRIT DO HIS JOB

Almost all believers try to be like Me, but it's not possible, any more than you can change yourself into a chicken or a fish. I can cleanse you from sin, because I paid the price with My own blood, for that to take place. But as far as you being like Me, thats not My job. Even with Me walking on earth as a man, the Holy Spirit gave Me the power you operate in line with My Father. Because I was fully man "I was led (guided) by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness (desert) to be tempted (tested and tried) by the devil." Matthew 4:1 AMP In order for Me to set the example of how to overcome, I had to lay down all My God Power, and demonstrate how a man can be an overcomer with the work of the Holy Spirit. 

You cannot have the Holy Spirit until your sins are covered, this blood covering changes your position from lost to redeemed, that's My part. But your character does not change. If you were a thief before you were saved, that's a character flaw. After you are saved, you become a born again thief! Or what is called a carnal christian. The way you steal my change but but your character is still one of a thief until My Holy Spirit changes your character. You may change your stealing method from robbery to having someone punch out for you, after you have left work, revealing you still have a thief's character. Getting saved is just the beginning, "for you are still unspiritual, having the nature of the flesh under the control of ordinary impulses. For as long as there are envying and jealousy and wrangling and factions among you, are you not unspiritual and of the flesh, behaving yourselves after a human standard and like mere (unchanged) men?"  1 Corinthians 3:3 AMP

Now I want to show you why some Christians act the same and even worse than some unsaved people. If you receive the forgiveness of sin, by answering My call to be born again, but stop there, in your pursuit of the kingdom, you will be a lousy testimony to the name Christ one, or Christian. If you deny the Holy Spirit access to work on your character, your actions, lifestyle and opinions, your walk with Me will be short lived. Because of this, "You cannot be spoken too as I do to spiritual grownups, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in faith. [2] In the beginning you are fed you with milk, and not with meat: for you will not be able to bear it, some of you after years of sitting in church are still now able to move beyond seeker friendly" 1 Corinthians 3:1-2 KJV

Here is the dangerous part, when the trouble comes from the enemy, it's your character that determines wether you stand or fall, not your salvation. If you remain carnal you will die, 

because, "the mind of the flesh, which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit is death, death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter. But the mind of the Holy Spirit is life and soul peace both now and forever." Romans 8:6 AMP Multitudes of wannabe believers fear hell so they pray a prayer, and a misguided soul winner says that's it, now your going to heaven! They leave out the life long, following Me part. They skip over the whole suffering part, the cross bearing part, and say now you are going to reign with Christ. NO! Listen closely to what I said: now "this is a faithful and firm rule: If you be dead with Me (dead to your old character), you shall also live in your new born again Spirit with Me : [12] If you suffer with Me, you shall also reign with Me: but if you deny Me in your lifestyle, I will also will deny you:" 2 Timothy 2:11-12 KJV

The narrow road is not as seeker friendly as many would have you believe. The seeker friendly "Gate is wide and a broad way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:" Matthew 7:13 KJV Here's the bottom line "the time will come when things are brought to a crisis and the period of their fulfillment is near. [11] In the kingdom We say: He who is unrighteous in character (unjust, wicked), let him be judged as unrighteous still; and he who is filthy (vile, impure), in his lifestyle, let him be judged as filthy still; and he who is righteous (just, upright, in right standing with My Father), because the Holy Spirit has been allowed to do His job, let him do right still;  and he who is holy, because the Holy Spirit has been allowed to do His job, let him be holy still. [12] Behold, I am coming soon, and I shall bring My wages and rewards with Me, to repay and render to each one just what his own actions and his own work merit." Revelation 22:10-12 AMP

I am pleading with all those who call Me Lord, Let The Holy Spirit do his job! "How in the world can anyone call me, Lord, Lord, and not do the things which I say?" Luke 6:46
