5-7-2016-DID YOU CHOOSE YAHSHUA OR DID HE CHOOSE YOU?
JOHN 15: 16=YOU HAVE NOT CHOSEN ME BUT I HAVE CHOSEN YOU AND ORDAINED YOU, THAT YOU SHOULD GO AND BRING FORTH FRUIT AND THAT YOUR FRUIT REMAIN:
"REMARKS"
THE VERSE ABOVE CLEARLY STATES WE DO NOT CHOOSE YAHSHUA, HE CHOOSES US.
SO WHY DO WE GO INTO CHURCH LIFE FOLLOWING OUR FAMILIES CHOICE OF DENOMINATION AND NOT GOING OUR OWN WAY AND SEEKING YAHWEH AND JESUS, YAHSHUA IN ANOTHER DENOMINATION THAT IS A FOLLOWER OF THE WORD OF YAHWEH?
IS IT BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ONE WHO HAS CALLED US OUT OF DARKNESS INTO HIS MARVELOUS LIGHT?
TOO MANY LEAN ON THEIR PEW SITTING AS A RELATIONSHIP WITH YAHWEH AND YAHSHUA BUT IN REALITY IT IS ONLY A FORM OF GODLINESS WITHOUT THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TO TRULY CHANGE THE DIRECTION AND INFLUENCE IN THEIR LIVES TO LIVE HOLY AND PERFECT AS THE FATHER IS HOLY AND PERFECT.
THE SCRIPTURE DEMANDS WE LIVE HOLY LIVES!
WHAT DOES A HOLY LIFE CONSIST OF?
- BORN OF WATER AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
- HOLY IN CONDUCT IN PRIVATE TIMES AND PUBLIC
- NO VIEWING OF SEXUALLY EXPLICIT OR VIOLENT ACTIVITIES
- LIVING WITH THE THOUGHT OF GIVING
- SHARING ONES CARNAL THINGS WITH THE POOR
- READING AND STUDYING THE WORD OF YAHWEH
- HAVING MEDITATION TIME DAILY
- WEARING CLOTHES THAT REVEAL NO SKIN
- PRAYING WHEN MOVED
- OBEYING THE LAW OF YAHWEH, AND THE LAW OF THE LAND ESPECIALLY HIGHWAY SPEED LIMITS
- BEING DISCRETIONARY ABOUT PERSONAL ISSUES
- WHEN POSSIBLE STOP TO HELP ANYONE IN DISTRESS
- WHEN POSSIBLE MOVING DANGEROUS ITEMS FROM HIGHWAYS TO KEEP FROM SOMEONE HAVING A WRECK
- CARING MORE ABOUT OTHERS THAN YOURSELF
- RELEASING YOUR HEART FROM THE CARES OF THIS WORLD
- STRIVING FOR PERFECTION DAILY
THESE ARE SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES A HOLY PERSON SUBSCRIBES TO IN THEIR LIVES. MAY WE ALL DO BETTER IN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YAHWEH, THROUGH OUR COMMITTMENT TO HIS SON JESUS, YAHSHUA, OUR MASTER AND SAVIOR THEN WILL WE KNOW HE CHOSE US AND NOT US CHOOSING HIM.
