Prove AS Jesus Proved

Have you ever heard the phrase, the ~~Proof~~ is in the puddin? Ever wonder just how the ~Proof~ got into the puddin? ….. Well, IT pretty much means that what ever you put into the making of *IT*, IS what the pudding proves to be, *IT* has everything to do with how *IT* turns out, taste, texture, looks…. Whether IT will be a keeper or a toss into the trash… Now, you can watch a commercial about puddins or burgers and they look sooooo good and soooo real, but they are most always a staged mixture made to ~~Look~ like the real thing and even better…. But IT Ain’t The Real Thing…. Sadly today many, many ~religions~ look good, many people that carry ~The message OF: ~Religion~ seem good, they show a good picture of: a faith, a belief, a joyful fun filled walk in this fleshly life and teach that if you are not filled to the top with bubbly laughter & the wealth of this world then you are not saved in Christ, because He wants His followers to be wealthy & happy… but how? Where does this come from?
What examples did Jesus set for us to follow as He walked this earth among men? What did He teach? Did He assume that, because He Was and Is the Son of God, that He could change the Gospel To reflect His Own thoughts His Own Ways?
(John 12:49-50)
(John 14:10)… “Believest thou Not That I am in the Father, & The Father in Me?… The ~Words~ that I speak unto you, I speak ~~NOT~~ of Myself: But The Father that dwelleth in Me, HE Doeth the Works”…..
So Jesus obviously did not run out and invent the popular egg carton of a dozen colored eggs to teach of God’s Kingdom or any of the traditions of that day and time as many do in this day and time and say they are delivered by Jesus to do that, and when we do that, what are we doing? Compromising the Truth of God’s Written Word with the ways of the world, just as Satan tried to coax Jesus into doing.. OR; That He might have all the world at His feet…?
(Luke 4: 4-10)..Being offered ~~ALL~~ the kingdoms of the world by the one who is in control of them ~~ALL~~ Satan the Devil… in return for His (Jesus) worship of the devil… Jesus said: “IT IS Written thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and HIM Only shalt thou serve”…….
He never vacationed in the Bahamas’, or took that luxury cruise around the world…
How many yacht’s mansions, bank accounts did: Jesus have? How many high positions did He hold in the nations of the world or in the synagogues, or temples? What exactly did Jesus teach as He lived among men for us to follow?
(Mark 11:17)..He taught, saying, “IS IT NOT Written, *MY House* shall BE ~~Called~~ OF ~ALL~ nations *THE House OF Prayer*? But ye have made IT a den of thieves…
(Luke 4: 16 - 20)… He read from the ~Book~ of the prophet Esaias.. (Isaiah)… The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me to preach… ~WHAT?~~ The Gospel to the poor, to heal the.. Broken hearted, deliverance to the captives, recovering sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised… TO Preach the: Acceptable year of the LORD….”
(Luke 4:43)… AND He (Jesus) Said, “I MUST Preach *THE Kingdom of God* to other cities, FOR Therefore am I sent”…… I find IT very interesting that Jesus, Himself was brazen enough to walk about this earth preaching of the Kingdom of His Father, instead of the kingdom of Caesar, or Herod or any of the earthly kings or nations, as so many that call themselves followers of Christ do today… AND What did He instruct His followers TO DO?
(Luke 9:2)… He (Jesus), sent them (His disciples), of which we the people today who claim His Name claim to be, TO Preach The Kingdom OF God, and to heal the sick…
(Luke 12:31)… BUT Rather seek ye THE: *Kingdom of God;* and ~ALL~ these things shall be added unto you…..
BUT so many Church buildings today are operated and owned by the people that lead the congregations in the ways of the world, that IT IS Hard to find a place to: Assemble ourselves together to: Worship The LORD in Spirit and Truth…..for that time IS Not coming tomorrow just as the antichrist ain’t coming tomorrow but IS Already here, so IS THE TIME TO Worship God, AS IT IS Written.. AS Jesus Said:
(John 4:33) .. “The hour cometh, & NOW IS, when the ~~True~~ worshipers shall worship THE Father in spirit and truth: FOR THE Father seeketh such to worship HIM”. !!!
(We don’t or should not gather in the Houses of God to worship and praise the nations, bring in men’s traditions, instill pagan customs and cultures into the services that are set aside to memorialize and remember THE: *Birth, LIFE, Crucifixion, Resurrection, and Ascension, OF our Lord and Savior, High Priest, and King, Ensign OF and IN God’s Kingdom…. IT IS AN Abomination! AS Jesus said: Once again!
(Mark 7:6)… “Well, hath Esaias (Isaiah) prophesied of you hypocrites, AS IT IS Written, ~~This people honoureth~~ Me with their lips, BUT their heart IS Far from Me.”
SOOOOO what has this to do with ~~Proving ourselves worthy~~?
(Exodus 16:4)….The LORD said unto Moses, “Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you, and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day,… THAT *I* May prove them, whether they will walk IN MY Law or NO….
(Exodus 20:20)… Moses said unto the people, “Fear NOT: For God IS Come TO Prove you, and that HIS fear may be before you faces, that ye sin not.”
(Romans 12:2)… Paul said: “Be ~NOT~ conformed to ~~THIS~~ world: BUT be ye ~Transformed~ By the renewing of your mind, That ye may *Prove* what IS that good, and acceptable, and perfect *WILL of God*…..
So as we are leaders in The Houses where folk gather to Worship & Praise, Giving Thanks to God The Father in the Name of Jesus Christ…. We ARE NOT TO try and conform God’s Holy Book of Accounts and Records, Instructions to man, TO the ways of the world, toting all sorts of things into the services and memorials of our Savior, BUT Rather we are to be transformed from the ways of the world into the ways of our LORD AS HE HAD Written for us to follow… AND we should always:
(II Corinthians 13:5)…. Examine yourselves (ourselves), whether ye, (we) be in the faith; prove your own selves, HOW that Jesus Christ IS IN you, except ye be reprobates….. =reprobates being damned=…. & how do we prove Christ in us… by bringing in the ways of the world or by reading, the Scriptures and Following the Truths of God’s Holy Written Book of ~~ALL~~ Instruction….. No we are not saved by the works that we do, but the works that we do proves where we stand… AND IF our works are all tied up in the ways of the world then this IS the Proof of the Puddin, what IT IS Made of, and the ingredients are false, staged replicas of the ~~Real Thing~~ and the false will only take us to eternal damnation….. Not to the eternal life that Jesus promised we would have IF::::
(Matthew 7:21).. Jesus said: “Not everyone that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into ~~THE *Kingdom OF Heaven**, BUT he that ~~Doeth THE Will of My Father~~ Which IS IN Heaven” … &&&
(Matthew 12:50).. “Whosoever shall ~~DO~~ *THE: Will of My Father* which IS IN Heaven, The same IS My brother, sister, & mother”…… SOOOOOOoooo…
(I Thessalonians 5:21)… Prove ~~ALL~ things, hold fast that which IS Good… &
This we must do in humble obedience without fail, or falter of faith… Because IF we do not prove all things and abandon that which IS not beneficial unto ~Eternal life~~ we will cause our faith to falter in the ways of the world, or worse yet we will cause the faith of another to falter and fail by showing them, setting the example of a disobedient walk….
Daniel proved himself to the king, he set an example before the people, both his people and his captors, as he refused to partake of the kings meat…..
(Daniel 1: 8)…but Daniel purposed in his heart that he would ~NOT~ *Defile* himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor the wine which he drank::: & (11) Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
(Daniel 6:7-26 ).. A decree was made that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days except the king, shall be cast into the lions den… But Daniel continued to pray before his God and ours and was cast into the den… being saved alive he set an example and a testimony OF Gods Kingdom, before the people and the king resulting in a declaration by the king that .. In every dominion , men fear before the God of Daniel… FOR HE IS The Living God and HIS Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed….
Can you imagine what an impact it could have upon the world IF instead of the followers of Christ lifting up an earthly nation they upheld the Kingdom of God, demonstrating their faith IN HIS Power to save, setting such a strong example that the leaders of the nations would decree that God’s Kingdom was mightier and more powerful than any earthly nation?
(Daniel 9:13) …~~Again~~ AS IT IS Written in the *Law of Moses*, ~~ALL~~ this evil IS come upon us: YET made we not our prayers ~~Before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand THY Truths….
Yep, instead we petition the government to do this and that, don’t take God off’n the monies, don’t take prayer out of the schools, put us a new president into office that will do right… we think that the way to the LORD IS by making our own paths straight, instead of following the straight path that God has already laid down for us to follow….
(Romans 1:17)… For therein IS ~~THE~~ *Righteousness OF God* revealed from faith to faith::: AS IT IS WRITTEN, The just shall live BY Faith….
(Romans 8:4)… That ~THE~ *Righteousness* OF the Law might be ~~Fulfilled in us~~ who walk ~~NOT~~ after the flesh, but after the Spirit..
AND YEP, not again… Moses law of sacrifice is abolished, having been fulfilled in and by Christ BUT The Law of righteous obedience STILL STANDS…to be fulfilled in us as we ~~Prove~ ourselves Obedient unto Christ…... AS Jesus said:
(Matthew 5:18)…”Verily I say unto you, ~~Till heaven & earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall IN NO Wise pass from ~~THE Law~~, till ~~ALL~~ be fulfilled…… & IT ain’t over until the Father says, Son, go bring MY children Home…
… Jesus said: “I have ~NOT~ Spoken of myself; BUT The Father which ~~Sent Me~~ HE gave Me a Commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak,… AND I know that HIS Commandment IS life everlasting:…whatsoever I speak therefore, even as THE Father said unto Me, so I Speak.”….
