LIVING THIS LIFE… WHILE DYING TO SELF * (*ONE MORE REASON WHY JESUS CHRIST CAME)

December 20, 2017 /

“For this purpose was the Son of God manifested, that He would (via FAITH) DESTROY the works of the devil.” I John 3:8

HERE IS ONE MORE REAL PURPOSE ... WHY Father God sent His Son…

GALATIANS 5:22-23 FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT : Self Control*

*By this we mean (submitting it as a SELAH) ….FOR GIVING BACK to Christ’s True BRIDE….SELF GOVERNING AUTHORITY OVER THE HUMAN CARNAL EGO (will, power, it’s SELF)

“The Old Wooden Cross” …Symbol of the BIG “I”/willful potentially GIANT ego…all CROSSED OUT”

“I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me..” Galatians 2:20

HONORING ALL OF THE GENUINE FATHERS!

LIVING FOR CHRIST IS ONE THING..but laying down YOUR LIFE,YOUR TIME, YOUR BLOOD AND SWEAT for ANOTHER is genuine heart sacrifice. And many LONG years ago,there was a relative who was pastor said it like this, “Living FOR Christ means DYING to ONESELF.”

Laying down YOUR personal choices, happiness..energy and amount of the family pay check (example) or putting the FAM before YOUR time away to play GOLF or zone out on VIDEO GAMES…

AND there’s nothing like waking up in the middle of a deep night’s sleep to the sound of a crying INFANT or sick CHILD…which are real TESTS to “SELF.” (Meaning how WE react when SOMEONE ELSE removes US from what WE REALLY prefer to be doing…) (and this goes for all single parents, caregiving grandparents, MOTHERS and all hands on PROVIDERS and nurturing CARE GIVERS…it’s just a part of this HUMAN LIFE..

YET this is GENUINE SERVANT LOVE..the kind that JESUS CHRIST showed when He suffered and bleed on the cruel wooden CROSS. HE knew the REAL REASON..when nobody else did..as JESUS perceived it all from an ETERNAL “HEAVENLY FAMILY” prophetic OVERVIEW.

HOWEVER..during the super LONG work weeks..or if you or your spouse are presently UNDER EMPLOYED or totally UNEMPLOYED… with children, needs and heightened real demanding, anxious, feeling HUGE responsibilities..then YOU must take it one day at a time (or sometimes even one HOUR at a time) by doing this: “WALK TOWARD YOUR GIANT, ASKING GOD FOR CLEAR DIRECTIONS.” (DR T mostly lives like this and definitely realizes the accountability, deep personal, heavy ongoing SPIRITUAL responsibility of head pioneering (24/7/365) mature LEADERSHIP.

THE SYMBOL OF THE CROSS: THE BIG “I” CROSSED OUT…

THE “I” is the HUMAN EGO (will) and in this present age I is enthroned over and over..simply read the mass marketing titles: iPHONE, iPAD, just for only TWO..

Yet when Jesus Christ walked this earth in ministry, and in all RELATIONSHIP (his siblings, Mother Mary, disciples, multitudes, Big Religious Temple Accuser System, rich, poor, Romans, Gadarene roving demoniacs, chief sinners and humble ordinary suffering human people) around the region, JESUS was was renown , not as an famous religious celebrity..but to the contrary: He was well known as genuine, all others respecting…area servant apostolic leader.

Do you recall the Bible passage where JESUS CHRIST washed his own disciples feet?
JOHN 13:1-17

Being a FATHER, a hard WORKER, a PIONEERING LEADER in BUSINESS or MINISTRY and even a SINGLE PARENT, OR FATHER PATRIARCH (REASONABLE, RESPONSIBLE, USUALLY STABLE ,FAMILY HEAD OF THE CLAN)..requires a LOT of SACRIFICE…meaning in OLD FASHIONED sense “DYING TO SELF” so that OTHERS can be WELL PROTECTED, LEADER DIRECTED and HAVE ADEQUATE PROVISION…

THE CREATOR FATHER set the EXAMPLE: He gave each and every HUMAN LIVING PERSON His free gift… HIS Son JESUS CHRIST who lived, died but ROSE AGAIN in VICTORY (and is now SEATED on the RIGHT HAND OF GOD..” (waiting for EACH ONE OF US to come UP there to BE WITH HIM in ETERNITY…if we just ask JESUS into our heart!)

AND WHILE FATHER GOD’S sacrifice of HIS ONLY SON was amazing enough…to remove forever the penalty of SIN which ends in ETERNAL DEATH….JESUS CHRIST died, rose again to give the FREE GIFT ….a supernatural, invisible DEPOSIT of FATHER GOD’S divine HOLY SPIRIT…. inside of every human’s heart, who so ever will just ASK TO BE THEIR ONLY LORD and SAVIOR)…

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me:”

AND WITH THE SUPERNATURAL DEPOSIT OF GOD’S HOLY SPIRIT POWER… we now have what it takes INSIDE EACH ONE OF US to rise up to withstand ever SELF CENTERED PRESSURIZED TEST.

THOUGH THE BOOK OF ACTS (Acts 2 onward) depicts examples of HOLY SPIRIT POWER..yet the BOOK OF ISAIAH 11:2 names “THE SEVEN FACETS OF GOD” which are also what another way of examining GOD’S HOLY SPIRIT DUNAMIS (DYNAMITE) APPLIED INDWELLING POWER..

HERE THE ISAIAH 11:2 LIST OF CREATOR FATHER GOD’S SEVEN IGNITED, EMPOWERING, GUIDING, HEALING, PRESERVING, MIRACLE WORKING LIMITLESS ETERNAL (FATHERING, NON RELIGIOUS) SPIRITS

GOD’S 7 SPIRITS ISAIAH 11:2

“And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;”

AND IF we read BOTH ISAIAH 11:2 and 3, we find that THE FATHER’S 7 SPIRITS dwelled in full manifestation inside His Servant Leader SON JESUS the MESSIAH…
and we note the FLAVOR of JESUS CHARACTER,LIFE and LEADERSHIP FRUIT for which He was well reknown:

“And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;

And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:**

** This also means that JESUS CHRIST had inside HOLY SPIRIT POWER to practice PERSONAL SELF CONTROL over his own MIND, EYES ,and LIPS..(HE was sharp and quick in discernment, but MINUS a huge leader, human EGO…and we must take note that JESUS CHRIST, the ISAIAH 11:3 MESSIAH was NOT an backbiter, tale bearer, gossip/judge but was very SKILLED in perception and wisdom …minus a BIG ministry, human “I”.

IN CLOSING..

Please mediate on of GOD’S 7 POWERFUL SPIRITS …Really THINK ABOUT each one of them living in part in YOUR OWN BORN AGAIN TRUE HEART!

THEN, why not ASK a FATHER GOD for MORE OF

*THE (HOLY) SPIRIT OF THE LORD

*HIS (HOLY) SPIRIT OF WISDOM

*HIS (HOLY) SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING

*HIS (HOLY) SPIRIT OF COUNSEL

*HIS (HOLY( SPIRIT OF HIS MIGHT

HIS (HOLY) SPIRIT OF KNOWLEDGE
HIS (HOLY) SPIRIT OF KNOWLEDGE

LAST, read Apostle Paul’s own words which describe HIS OWN earthly life AND how HE regarded LIVING FOR CHRIST …and how even HE had to continually RELY on FATHER GOD (during times in prayer) to be able to HANDLE IT, to be able to RISE UP to the huge many challenges…and to be able to MAN UP..no matter HOW MANY shipwrecks, life threatening imminent real situations?

YET APOSTLE PAUL (who wrote two thirds of the NEW TESTAMENT) shared how HE LIVED but continued to DIE TO EGO, TO SELF to “I WANT TO DO MY OWN THING” “I DO NOT REALLY FEEL LIKE HELPING” “AND I DO NOT SEE WHY I HAVE TO GO SHOPPING WITH MY WIFE AS I NEED MY OWN SPACE” or “I AM SO TIRED OF ALL THOSE WHINING (future male, female leader) CLINGING CHILDREN” ad finite.

APOSTLE PAUL maturely leader declared,

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

” and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20

REMEMBER: There is no SIN in having a BIG EGO, but just make SURE that YOU weild it RESPONSIBILITY” (Seek the loving Father’s HELP in self managing IT) ” Apostle Taveau D’Arcy
