We are to be possessors of the Nature of Jesus Christ!
We should be Christ in character, Christ in demonstration, and Christ in agency of transmission.
Jesus spoke in John chapter 5:
30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My Own Will but the Will of the Father Who sent Me.
Jesus did not speak or act independently of FATHER’S Will. We are called to walk in like manner. The majority of Christians do not see this as vital in their daily lives. If they did, we would not have the social issues we are now facing. The priorities of government would be different. Social perversion could not fund its tactics. However, there is a remnant who have not bowed to Baal.
And in John chapter 6:
38 For I have come down from Heaven, not to do My own Will, but the Will of Him Who sent Me.
Jesus reemphasized the fact that He solely represents FATHER and His power and authority were clear confirmations of His walk. An immature believer is challenged in that the adversary will try to divert his or her attention from becoming mature in Christ. The adversary’s methods are subtle and are not easily seen. Social media is one such method used to divert focus.
The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st John chapter 4:
1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
If a “prophet” does not confess Jesus as his LORD and Savior, run the other way.
3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He Who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
Jesus is not sitting on some distant throne; He is in you and me. False prophets tickle your ears and tell you what would appeal to your natural man.
5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them.
I see this all the time in the financial arena. YouTube is filled with man’s opinions about the future. Some will tell you that the stock market is going up next year and some will swear that it is going down. Therefore, half will be right and will convince you to follow them… and pay for their subscriptions. Even a blind squirrel can find a nut every now and then.
6 We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of Truth and the spirit of error.
Those who are truly motivated by Love, seek to express Truth in all areas to benefit all. We need The Holy Spirit to allow us to discern intent. This requires us to be sensitive on a daily basis. This can only be accomplished by continuous fellowship with The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
7 Beloved, let us Love one another, for Love is of God; and everyone who Loves is born of God and knows God.
8 He who does not Love does not know God, for God is Love.
Our primary motivation should always be Love for Love is His core Nature!
