I take on a garment of humility. inviting You to speak through me, this morning & always. May Jesus receive all of the Glory. amen.
1 John 3 — The Children of Light and the War Within
Look at the love the Father has poured out on us.
Not measured, not earned—but poured out.
That we should be called His children.
And that’s not just a title.
It’s a transfer of nature.
a legal adoption.
The world doesn’t recognize you,
because it didn’t recognize Him.
They don’t see the title, or power of what you carry.
Because what you carry didn’t come from them. isn't worldly.
Beloved, we are God’s children now.
Not someday. but Now.
And what we will be; is yet to be revealed.
But we know this:
When He appears, that we’ll be like Him.
Because we’ll see Him as He is.
And everyone who has this hope purifies themselves.
Because the blood gave us access—
Yet this hope calls us higher.
Whoever lives in sin lives in rebellion. ( a rebellious child.)
Sin isn’t weakness.
It’s lawlessness.
And we know that He came to take away our sins.
In Him, there is no sin.
So anyone who abides in Him doesn’t keep sinning.
And anyone who keeps sinning has neither seen Him nor known Him.
1 John 3: 7 - 9
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
Children, don’t let anyone twist this.
The one who does what is right is righteous—just as He is righteous.
And the one who keeps sinning?
He belongs to the devil.
Because the devil has been sinning from the beginning.
But the Son of God appeared for this very reason:
To destroy the works of the devil.
No one born of God keeps on sinning,
because God’s seed is in them.
It’s not behavior modification.
It’s transformation from the root.
we cannot go on sinning—because we’ve been born of God.
This is how you tell the difference
between the children of God and the children of the devil:
Whoever doesn’t practice righteousness is not of God.
And neither is the one who doesn’t love his brother.
This isn’t new.
we’ve heard it from the beginning:
Love one another.
Don’t be like Cain.
He belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother.
And why did he murder him?
Because his own actions were evil
and his brother’s were righteous.
Jealousy always turns into hate
when righteousness exposes what darkness tries to hide.
So don’t be surprised, brothers and sisters,
if the world hates you.
It hated Him first.
We know we’ve passed from death to life because we love the brothers and sisters.
Anyone who does not love remains in death.
Whoever hates his brother is a murderer.
And you know no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
Hate isn’t just a feeling. It’s spiritual assassination.
This is how we know what love is:
Jesus Christ laid down His life for us.
So we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.
If anyone has material possessions, and sees his brother in need
but closes his heart against him— How can God’s love live in him?
Children, don’t just love with words or speech.
Love with action.
Love in truth.
This is how we know we belong to the truth
and how we set our hearts at rest in His presence.
Even when our hearts condemn us,
God is greater than our hearts.
He knows everything.
If our hearts don’t condemn us,
we have confidence before God
and receive from Him whatever we ask—
because we keep His commands and do what pleases Him.
And what does He command?
That we believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He commanded.
Whoever keeps His commands lives in Him, and He lives in them.
And this is how we know He lives in us:
We know it through His Presence that He gave us.
righteousness attracts His presence...
unrighteousness dispelles His presence.....
not long after being born again the Holy Spirit began showing
me that;
He is Holy
& cannot abide with sin, transgression or iniquity.
God's presence must remain sinless.
having come out of the
show car scene
I befriended a young Christian panel beater who worked opposite me & would come to fellowship & lunch with me at my place of business.
I had purchased a Ford XA falcon.
one day he bought me a rear fibreglass spoiler for the XA .
I was thinking I had come out of that car scene & not feeling so sure I should be getting envolved?
my daily driver then was a called a
Trekka (NZ)
( Skoda powered thing
that lookes like a landrover. ) God had supernaturally supplied this ( another story) driving this felt like sitting in a telephone box. the fibreglass top needed to be stepped down in the front section.
anyway driving home I happened to say; Lord what do You think about chopping down the roof of this thing? He spoke straight back to me :"
what do you think
I gave you that fibreglass spoiler for?
when I got home & checked, it was the exact fit to step down the roof.
I was excited & shared the news to the young panel beater the next day. He said right lunch at your place Saturday & down it came. only thing was the toughened windscreen glass couldn't be cut down.
Now having been in the hot rod scene I knew who to contact for best deal. after a phone call & supplying a cardboard pattern.
the young panel beater & I were attempting to fit this, when a small crack appeared just in front of the steering wheel. I rang the glass guy who said sure I will cut you another one... but not today as the boss is in.
when he said that I was convicted.
like sitting in the bath when the water has been let out. knowing something spiritually wrong...
I immediately said listen don't worry I will sort it out.
I then contacted another glazier
( I didn't know) when I took it to show him, he said must be a flaw in the glass look it will continue when I bang it. However it didn't but cracked across forming a perfect cross.
as he couldn't fix it straight away I had to drive around with this cross right in my face for a week or so. just so God could drive this message home.
"I cannot bless iniquity"...
incidentily about a year later, God had me to give that vehicle to the young panel beater.
over the years
The Holy Spirit has given me many hard lessons
( I seem to be a slow learner??
wisdom says
proverbs 4: 19
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
pray
thank You Lord for You are Holy, & You would have me to be Holy.
the heart of man is desperately wicked. But You have given us a new heart & made us alive in you. forgive me my failings quicken to me that desire for righteousness. help me to reject unrighteousness. let those around me see the Christ in me . as I walk in the redemption power of Your blood. may the accuser find nothing in me but: Love, peace, joy faith, patience, humility, temperance & long suffering & gentleness. may they see Christ in me. for Your Glory.
amen.
