We are to be imitators of Our Heavenly Father in everything we do, for then we will represent FATHER as HIS beloved Sons and Daughters. How are we to do this? We must continue to walk surrendered to the extravagant Agape Love of Our Lord Jesus Christ for he surrendered His life as a sacrifice for us. His great Love for us was pleasing to FATHER.
When we truly imitate FATHER, people will see HIM in us. They will see Jesus in us. They will encounter The Holy Spirit Who guides us in all our ways. Isn’t that the essence of our mission on this earth?
We are to have nothing to do with sexual immorality, lust, or greed for you and I are His Holy ones. By imitating Our Heavenly Father, no one will be able to accuse us of unrighteousness in any form.
We must guard our speech, forsaking obscenities and worthless insults; these are nonsensical words that bring disgrace and are unnecessary. Instead, let worship fill our hearts and spill out in our words.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 5:
5 For it has been made clear to you already that the kingdom of GOD cannot be accessed by anyone who is guilty of sexual sin, or who is impure or greedy—for greed is the essence of idolatry. How could they expect to have an inheritance in Christ’s Kingdom while doing those things?
Rather than being greedy, we should be actively generous in all our actions. FATHER is certainly generous with HIS grace and mercy for which I am eternally grateful. The world promotes scarcity and greed and that is one reason there are impoverished children. The cycle of poverty needs to be broken and by planting seed in those kids, they are able to experience hope for a better future allowing them to become industrious by embracing their hopes and dreams.
FATHER is now exposing the sexual immorality, lust, and greed by HIS radiant light known as the Absolute Truth. Those who continue to hide or accept such unrighteousness will suffer HIS judgment.
The Holy Spirit continues:
5 For it has been made clear to you already that the kingdom of God cannot be accessed by anyone who is guilty of sexual sin, or who is impure or greedy—for greed is the essence of idolatry. How could they expect to have an inheritance in Christ’s kingdom while doing those things?
Greed is further defined as being the essence of idolatry. Withholding resources from those in need equates to making and worshiping an idol. There is no room for idol worshipers in Christ’s Kingdom. We must repent if we are guilty of greed and remove all “idols” from our lives.
6 Don’t be fooled by those who speak their empty words and deceptive teachings telling you otherwise. This is what brings GOD’S anger upon the rebellious! 7 Don’t listen to them or live like them at all. 8 Once your life was full of sin’s darkness, but now you have the very light of Our Lord shining through you because of your union with Him. Your mission is to live as children flooded with his revelation-light! 9 And the supernatural fruits of His light will be seen in you—goodness, righteousness, and Truth. 10 Then you will learn to choose what is beautiful to Our Lord.
I purpose to be totally sensitive to The Holy Spirit in everything I hear, read, speak, and write. I am not interested in empty words or deceptive teachings. Everything must pass the test of being fully aligned with FATHER’S Divine Intent.
11 And don’t even associate with the servants of darkness because they have no fruit in them; instead, reveal truth to them. 12 The very things they do in secret are too vile and filthy to even mention. 13 Whatever the revelation-light exposes, it will also correct, and everything that reveals truth is light to the soul. 14 This is why the Scripture says,
“Arise, you sleeper! Rise up from the dead and the Anointed One will shine his light into you!”
We cannot fellowship with darkness but we can and should minister to those whom FATHER directs us so that our light will shine toward them and cause them to repent from their unrighteousness. We are not to condone their lifestyle by passive acceptance associated with silence. Jesus never taught us to walk in any manner other than to become imitators of FATHER in all we say and do. Let us walk as imitators of GOD each and every day!
