Am I A Good Samaritin--Am I My Brothers Keeper?
Part One:
For awhile now I have been hearing Abba Father talking to me about His people being sold out to His Holy Kingdom Purposes....My conversation with Abba Father went something like this...........
God:
Who are my Good Samaritans?
Me:
Am I a good Samaritan?
God:
Who of you love My people?
Me:
Do I love Gods people from every tribe and nation?
God:
Who will love their neighbor as themselves?
Me:
Do I love my neighbor as I love myself?
Do I love myself?
God:
Who will be their brothers keeper?
Me:
Am I my brothers keeper?
God:
Who will feed the hungry?
Me:
Do I feed the hungry of this world?
How do I feed the hungry around the world and in my community?
God:
Who will cloth the naked?
Me:
Do I supply clothes, blankets, coats and jackets to those in need?
How do I provide these services?
God:
Who will care for the orphans and widows?
Me:
Do I care for the orphans and widows?
How can I get the needed supplies to those in need?
God:
Who will shelter the homeless?
Me:
Am I willing to shelter the homeless?
Where would I shelter the homeless?
God:
Who will take care of the strangers?
Me:
Am I hospitable to strangers?
God:
Who will share my Son, Jesus with this lost world?
Me:
Do I share Jesus with my fellow mankind?
God:
Who will carry the cross and crucify the flesh to be my Ambassador?
Me:
Do I carry my cross daily?
Do I crucify my flesh daily?
Am I an Ambassador for Abba Father?
God:
Who will fight the good fight of faith in these end days?
Me:
Do I fight the good fight of faith daily?
God:
Who will walk by faith, not by sight?
Me:
Do I walk by faith daily?
Do I understand what faith really is?
God:
Who will I be able to trust with my Holy Spirit?
Me:
Is God able to trust me with the gifts of the Holy Spirit?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Part Two:
I believe God is calling all of us to become His Holy Kingdom Ambassadors.
I believe that God is ready to pour out His Holy Spirit on all flesh around the world
for this end time harvest.
God sees these dark days of evil across the world. God hears the cries of the innocent children being raped, tortured and murdered. God watches His followers cower in the pews as mankind falls into eternal damnation. God is calling for an end-time army of Spirit lead warriors, not afraid to get their hands dirty...not afraid to face evil face to face.
God is calling every man, woman and child that call themselves followers and believers of Jesus Christ to stand united as one body in one accord fighting the good fight of faith for God's Holy Kingdom purpose on this earth.
WE MUST PICK UP OUR CROSS AND FOLLOW JESUS INTO THE STREETS, BY-WAYS, BARS, STADIUMS, WORK PLACE, GOVERNMENT, GANGS, BUSINESSES, PRISONS, CULTS, IN THE DESSERTS, ON THE MOUNTAIN TOPS, IN THE CITIES AND IN THE RURAL AREAS.....LET NO ONE TAKE THEIR LAST BREATH WITHOUT HEARING ABOUT JESUS!!!!!!!!!
We all must ask ourselves the above questions every single morning and every single evening! We must keep ourselves in check...humbled, repented, teachable, and willing to serve no matter what we face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Part Three:
We as true believers and followers of Jesus Christ must understand that we must be a blessing to others before we really receive the favor of Abba Father.
Luke 6:38
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
God is looking for sold out, yielded warriors that will fight the good fight of faith each and everyday--in all situations and circumstances!
This is just a very short list of amazing warriors for Abba Father...
Judges 6 ... God called Gideon ....
1 Samuel 16 ... God called David...
Exodus 3...God called Moses....
Genesis 7....God called Noah
Esther 2....God called Esther
Many many more in the Old Testament....Like Elijah, Elisha, Samuel, Daniel, Joseph....the list is long and distinguished and lets not forget the amazing men and women of the New Testament
Peter, James, John, Paul, Andrew, Stephen, Mary, John the Baptist, Mary Magdalene, Martha.
Each one of these men and women answered the call on his/her life. Each one had to answer Abba Fathers call...Each one had to yield to Abba Fathers teachings, corrections, disciplines. Each one had to crucify their own flesh and do what Abba Father commanded. Each example of greatness we read...we also see failures, shortcomings, sins, anger, fear, frustrations, hopelessness,...simply being overwhelmed....But yet each one accomplished great things for Abba Father through faith, trust and obedience...A YIELDED HEART, SOUL AND SPIRIT!! There are many many more examples we can glean wisdom from.
God sees each of us on our good days and also on our bad days. God knows when we are being petty and rebellious...God knows when we are truly seeking Him in Spirit and in truth with a yielded heart.
God sees us in our pain, sorrow, loneliness, anger, frustrations, and He sees us when we are overwhelmed. He hears our cries for mercy and grace. Abba Father sees and hears all...He knows all....
God sends His Holy Spirit to comfort and council us. He leads us to His Holy Anointed Words. He tells us in Psalms 23 that no matter what we face He will carry us through it all....we must TRUST HIM in all areas of our Psalms 91.
God tells us to study, meditate, pray, ask, seek, give thanks, reach for His hand.
2 Timothy 2:15...study
1 Thessalonians 5:17....Pray Without Ceasing...Pray Continually
1 Thessalonians 5:18...Give Thanks
1 Timothy 4:15...Meditate
Matthew 7:7....Ask, Seek
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PART FOUR:
How do I treat my fellow mankind?
Am I my brothers keeper?
Do I love my neighbor?
Who is my neighbor?
Luke 10:25-37
On one occasion an expert in the law
stood up to test Jesus.
Teacher, he asked,
What must I do to inherit eternal life?
What is written in the Law? He replied.
How do you read it?
He answered,
Love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your
strength and with all your mind; and, Love
your neighbor as yourself.
You have answered correctly, Jesus replied.
Do this and you will live.
But he wanted to justify himself, so he
asked Jesus, and who is my neighbor?
In reply Jesus said...
A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho,
when he was attacked by robbers.
They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went
away, leaving him half dead.
A priest happened to be going down the same road,
and when he saw the man, he passed by on
the other side.
So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and
saw him, passed by on the others side.
But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where
the man was; and when he saw him,
he took pity on him.
He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring
on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his
own donkey, brought him to an inn and
took care of him.
The next day he took out two denarii and gave
them to the innkeeper. Look after him, he said, and
when I return, I will reimburse you for any
extra expense you may have.
Which of these three do you think was a neighbor
to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?
The expert in the law replied, The one who
had mercy on him.
Jesus told him, "GO AND DO LIKEWISE."
God commanded each of us to go forth and to love our neighbors and be our brothers keepers!!!
He does not ask, he does not plead, He does not beg us,....
GOD COMMANDED each one of us to love our neighbors...to be our brothers keeper!!!!!!!!!!!
I think that this is pretty important to Abba Father!
What do you think?
Galatians 5:13
For, brethern, ye have been called unto liberty;
only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh,
but by LOVE SERVE ONE ANOTHER.
Galatians 5:14
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this;
THOU SHALT LOVE THEY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF.
Galatians 5:22
But the fruit of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering,
Gentleness, Goodness, and Faith.
Ephesians 1:4
According as He hath chosen us in Him before
the foundation of the world, that we should be
Holy and with out Blame before Him in LOVE.
Matthew 4:19
And He saith unto them,
FOLLOW ME, and
I WILL MAKE YOU FISHERS OF MEN.
John 15:16 A
Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you,
and ordained you, that ye should god and bring
forth fruit......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Part Five:
As I listened to Abba Father the past few weeks concerning this message. My heart grew heavy. Because I see so much hate, anger, unsaved souls and offended and deceived people. Through this message I have asked myself all the above questions and I can tell you that I am so sad at how many times I have failed my precious Jesus. I know for a fact that we all fall short of Gods glory every single day.....that makes me so very sad in my heart....We must be honest with ourselves and with Abba Father. We must pick up our crosses every single day and crucify our flesh. We must ask ourselves everyday how we may SERVE our RISEN SAVIOR! We as followers of Jesus Christ must ask ourselves every single day how we can make our world a better place to live in.
God is looking for the ONE TRUE BODY OF CHRIST JESUS!!! The ones sold out! The ones who are willing to do what ever it takes to bring lost souls into His Holy Kingdom.
God does not see a white man....
God does not see a black man....
God does not see Russian or German....
God does not see African or Indian....
God does not desire for His children to be divided by Nationality or Color, National Boundaries, Language, or any other divisions caused by personal prejudices.
In conclusion the message God gave me is pretty simple...
LOVE, FORGIVENESS, and a SERVANTS HEART WILL CHANGE THE WORLD!
WE MUST BECOME MORE CHRIST LIKE DAILY!!!!!!
WE MUST LOVE OUR NEIGHBORS!!!!!!!!!!!
WE MUST FEED THE POOR!!!!!!!!!!!
WE MUST TAKE CARE OF THE WIDOWS AND ORPHANS!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE MUST NOT BE AN OFFENDED PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE MUST SHARE THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST WITH EVERY SINGLE PERSON WE COME INTO CONTACT WITH!!!!!!!!!!!
WE MUST BE ENERGIZED BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope this message touches your heart. It is my prayer that each person that reads this message is able to understand God has not only called you, but He has chosen you for such a time as this! God has chosen and ordained each of us to do His Holy Kingdom purposes on this earth in these dark and scary days filled with hate and evil!!!!!!!!
The question isn't did God call me.....
The question is WILL I ANSWER GODS CALL?
What will your answer be today?
