Philippians 2 12-18 Paul wrote;
“Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to his will and to work for his good pleasure. Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the mist of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me.”
Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven and his righteousness. You seek righteousness you get peace with God. You get peace with God, you put all your Joy in salvation. Your world is consumed. It’s not what we do that makes us right with God, it’s what Jesus did to make us right with God. We have to let God work through us. Love from a pure heart and clean conscience.
“The most dangerous man on earth is the man who had reckoned with his own death. All men die; few men ever really live.” -John Eldridge
I used to love to party. Beer, Cocaine, Molly, LSD, Women, Marijuana. Man I loved to be completely out of my mind. I overdosed on multiple occasions. “Cats have 9 lives, I think I’ve had about 10”. Car accidents, drunkenness, glutton, etc.. I was so conformed to the earth. Once Christ came in and flipped tables and kicked out everything not pure in my temple. I am now living in Peace, Joy, Love. I tell you I’ve done all the drugs, and when you get the revaluation of who you are and why your here. It’s like BOOM! It’s the greatest party will ever come into. The heavens roar and cheer! Your at peace, you don’t have to look to please man, your in love, you have nothing to prove, nothing to take to feel okay. I could go on! It’s literally coming alive. The glory of God runs my life. Completely broken free from earthly passions and completely unrooted and replanted in Christ. My heart cry’s “Daddy, Abba, Father, Sir”. No fear of absolutely nothing. There’s nothing, No one can take away what they did not give me! Wisdom and revelation everyday. Marriage, money, worry, godly grief, contentment, it’s all alive. The word of God is breathing, it’s alive, it consumes me. I’m scared! I’m in fear of God. In absolute awe. The war is over. The devil is a lair! I have no one to blame and if I go to trail, I’m not guilty. In the mist of this generation I’m innocent! Pure and blameless, right standing before my Father. It’s a beautiful day. Everyday. Me and Paul have a lot in common. I was so twisted and conformed to his world. I’m never letting go of the word, I will hold fast to the word of life. The world is perfect when you see through God’s view. It’s fallen, by God I’m already dead on this earth. At the end of his passage he states his stance on “If I am poured out as a drink offering rejoice and be glad”. You can not be scared of anything in life. God has got the best plan. In the book of Job, he lost everything. He questioned. He got answers nothing can stop me, I’m running with this. I will burn with the Gospel. I’m so dead to myself, God flows through me because I know I can’t. This earth. I can’t. I’m not to say, I’m not going to be running from this earth. No God made me earthly amazing because it’s not longer I that lives, but he who lives in me. I’m going to live like I should. He so loved this us he sent down his only son to bring heaven to earth.
Timothy 6 “But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into this world, we cannot take anything out of this world. But if we have have food and clothing, with these we will be content”.
Jesus I’m so in love with you. I could read this all day. The first time I read this I cried. My heart cried. Everyday we wake up to a fresh start! This life is crazy beautiful. If you going through something right now and it’s feel like a fire, BURN. Fight fire with fire. We need trails to perfect our faith. Make yourself genuine and authentic to God. This makes my heart sing, wild thing. The word makes my heart go back to before the apple. Look at this! The Gospel of God is so simple. Drop everything and follow Jesus. Don’t look back, pick up your cross! We throw so much shit on the Gospel. Look at it. It’s messing me up! I’m so messed up! Look at the roots of who we are. A clarity in identity. Wake up and you should be like a baby looking for spiritual milk. “Abba, Daddy, Father”. We were made in his image! Bursting with Life. We have Grace and Truth! Grace disabled me to sin and Truth set me free! Unplug from the earth, you don’t belong here! I hate when people tell me “I used to be on fire for Christ like you”. What happened? Did you he give up or did you? People put earthly water on the fire God put in us. The gospel never changes. God is alive, Jesus is king. God has more for you. There is a new found love everyday! Everyday is not the same. There is something to learn, grow, and God is always speaking. Life is so short! We are a mist that comes and goes! God. I pick up the Cross. If you don’t understand something hit your knees and ask for wisdom and revelation. Surrender with humility to the process. Patience is a byproduct of Love. God wants to transform us by his love. It’s about giving him everything. I’ve always loved a fight. Now it’s God defeating evil through my body. Living by the blood and my testimony. My mind is renewed, Jesus completely wiped out my sins. Forgiveness is a weapon. The sound doctrine is the pure Gospel seen through the eye of your hope in Jesus Christ. Earthly oppression looks for a fill that can not be content. Poverty is broken relationship with God. God took away my American citizenship and gave me his. This is not our life to live. Seek first the kingdom and that’s all you’ll see. The gospel tells you exactly who you are and why your here. You won’t even pay attention to what the devils is doing in your life, your consumed by God. You discern his voice because your soul is purified to the truth, your mind is being continually renewed. Your heart is on hooked on salvation. Live everyday as if Jesus were to come back. The excitement should be swelling up inside of you.
Father, I love you so much. My life is yours forever. Take everything. Take my whole life. I’m crying writing this. I’ll follow you anywhere. When I went to training camp and felt the Holy Spirit for the first time I heard “Your my boy”. I knew it wasn’t from me. I felt a voice. I’m your boy forever more! “You steadfast love, is better than life” -Psalm 62
The Gospel is so simple. It’s simple and beautiful. Don’t throw trash on who we are and made to be. Pop the top off and fly. Fear not, today.
