Kingdom of God Part 3
Lord,
Lord
1.
Luk 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the
things which I say?
· Living out your life to
emulate Christ is of the great importance, and not just proclaiming and
boasting of your self-righteous works.
· You need to build your
life on the Rock of Christ, or your life will fall apart as the sand upon a
moving sea.
2.
Mat 7:21 Not every one 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.
Mat
7:22 Many will
say to me in that day, Lord, Lord,
have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and
in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from
me, ye that work iniquity.
· Self cannot be possessed and yet
still believe you can enter the kingdom of God.
3.
Mat
20:16 So the last shall be
first, and the first last: for many
be called, but few chosen.
· In looking at Matthew 7:21-23
you will see these wolves in sheep clothing express that they know Him.
· Miracles mean nothing.
· Satan will perform so called miracles
when he begins to roar like a lion, because he knows his time is short.
· Jesus will say in those days “depart from me, ye
that work iniquity.”
4. Mat
25:1 Then
shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their
lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Mat 25:2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
Mat 25:3 They that were
foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
Mat 25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Mat 25:5 While the
bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
Mat 25:6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom
cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Mat 25:7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
Mat 25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for
our lamps are gone out.
Mat 25:9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not
enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for
yourselves.
Mat 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they
that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Mat 25:11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Mat 25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
Mat
25:13 Watch
therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man
cometh.
· Again we see they will say Lord,
Lord, but upon that day the Lord does not recognize them as they don’t have His
Father’s name written in their foreheads.
· We have to trim those lamps so
they stay burning, so that your light radiates through the darkness of this
fallen world. You have to open your
heart and receive those great blessings of the Holy Spirit.
· The Holy Spirit is your
oil.
· Where there is no oil as the
channel of fuel the light will eventually burn out. The preparation of one’s heart begins by the
Holy Spirit. His Spirit is casting the
light of His Word to us that we may become prepared in His Word, which is a
lamp unto our feet. Our Comforter, which
is the Holy Spirit, is the One that changes our very characters into that
perfect image of Christ.
5.
Eph 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of
redemption.
· Grieve away His Spirit and you
would have failed in being a co-laborer for Christ Jesus in going out to seek,
and save those that are lost.
· It is by the Holy Spirit that
God’s Law and Word becomes illuminated in your soul.
· Your changing of character can
be a witness to this world.
· Remember all good gifts come
from above, and the light you are carrying came from heaven friends.
6.
Joh 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of
men.
· God is the originator of the
Light we carry.
· We are only vessels praying to
reflect His light, which is given to all His children.
7.
Hos 8:2 Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.
· Jesus will say to many that cry
out to Him… “I know you not, I don’t know you.”
8.
Rom 2:13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
· There’s going to be tares among
the wheat proclaiming to have been doing the very work of God, but they never
manifested the fruits of Christ.
· They (hearers) never manifested
the character of our dear Saviour.
· Every single soul is precious to
our Saviour.
9. Luk 10:25 And, behold, a
certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to
inherit eternal life?
Luk 10:26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
Luk 10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and with
all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
Luk
10:28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered
right: this do, and thou shalt live.
· Jesus said to do
what is written in the law. This do and
thou shalt live.
· OBEDIENCE.
10.
Psa 119:18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
11. Jas 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your
own selves.
Jas 1:23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not
a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
12.Jer 5:21 Hear
now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:
· Seeing and hearing,
without action profits nothing.
· Empty self so that your
character will reflect the image of Christ when you look into that mirror/glass
(Ten Commandments).
· Reflect the glory of the
Lord.
· Empty self and “be
filled with the Spirit.” (Eph 5:18)
13.Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Gal 5:17 For the flesh
lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are
contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of
the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these;
Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife,
seditions, heresies,
Gal 5:21 Envyings,
murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you
before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
· Pray without ceasing!
14.1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,
nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
1Co 6:10 Nor
thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
· If you practice sin,
you will not enter His Kingdom of everlasting glory.
· Remember always
brethren that you have been bought with a price. You are not own, but ye be Christ’s.
15. 1Co 6:11
And such were some of you:
but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
16.1Co 10:31 Whether
therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
· If we can eat and drink
to His glory, then we should conclude that we can also eat and drink not to His
glory.
· We need to reach a
higher standard knowing our body is the temple of the Holy Ghost. We need to change our sinful characters to
His character (Christ’s), so that we may be His subjects in His Kingdom of
glory.
· We need to reach a higher standard knowing our
body is the temple of the Holy Ghost. We
need to continue each and every day to glory God in our bodies, and in spirit,
which are God’s: knowing that we have been bought with a price.
· Unrighteousness will not
enter the kingdom.
· The very fruits of
selfishness will close the door to His kingdom and you will not inherit the
kingdom of God.
· Repent, and sin no
more.
17. Eph
5:5 For
this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is
an idolater, hath any inheritance in
the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Eph
5:6 Let no man deceive
you with vain words: for because of
these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
Eph 5:7
Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
· So what do we have to do to
inherit all things that the Lord has prepared for us?
18.Rev 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things;
· Overcome your sins through
Christ Jesus who strengthens you.
19.Joh 14:15 If
ye love me, keep my commandments.
· Keep His Law.
God Bless
