A Discussion on the “FORGOTTEN GOD” By Francis Chan (Part lV)

“And he said, Lay not thy hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything unto him. FOR NOW I KNOW THAT THOU FEAREST GOD, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son, from me.” Genesis 22:12

My friends when do we get to the point in your Christian experience. When God will be able to acknowledge your spiritual achievements. As his voice vibrates throughout the courts of heaven, I KNOW THAT THOU FEAREST GOD.

And at that moment all of heaven rejoices because when the FATHER rejoices all of heaven rejoices, HOLY, HOLY, HOLY another FAITHFUL CHILD continues to ENDURE the JOURNEY, another Child continues to allowed My Spirit to transform there CHARACTER, and navigate them through each trial and tribulation of there life.

My friends All of heaven knows because of your Faith you have ENDURED and THAT YOU DO FEAREST OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN because you have kept all of the precepts of LOVE  “And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.” 1 John 3:24

And you also have spread the good news of the gospel when you did “received power when the Holy Spirit came on you; and you were my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth“ Acts 1:8

My friends I can picture this scene because as Children of God that seeks with a PASSION for the out pouring of the Holy Spirit Daily we do understand that “The FEAR OF THE LORD is the beginning of wisdom; And the knowledge of the HOLY ONE is understanding. Prov. 9:10

And also as Gods Children we only understand this FEAR through the power of the Holy Spirit because the “FEAR OF THE LORD lies at the very foundation of all knowledge” and this knowledge is found in GOD’S WORD and only through God’s Spirit can we understand the depth, height, and the path to our SALVATION as we Study with HEARTFELT PRAYER, and SUPPLICATIONS.

And by SUBMITTING our will to “the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, He will give unto each of us a SPIRIT of WISDOM and REVELATION in the KNOWLEDGE of him; having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that we may all know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints are.” Eph. 1:17-18

Mr. Chan continues to point our attention towards the crucifying of self and just what that instills as a Child of God. “And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit..” Gal 5:24-25

So today my friends you must ask yourself is your FAITH at a point in your life where you are ready to allow self to be crucified, and if not, why? Maybe the answer to that question is as simple as whatever Journey in life YOU MAY be on right now, whether Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer, Chemist, Janitor, Cook, House Wife, and the list goes on.

It may not be the JOURNEY the council of heaven will place you on once you have allowed The Spirit to transform your life completely into the image of God. So you tell yourself the commitment is just to great a price to pay right now.

Well to turn our backs on the Holy Spirit is to great a price also “because God chose you as firstfruits to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth.” 2 Thess 2:13 And “when you have decided to put to death, to crucify your flesh, you by default are choosing the way of the Spirit. You are leaving one path and joining another.” (F. Chan) Which is the only path that leads to THE FEAR OF GOD, SALVATION, AND ETERNAL LIFE “Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. Ps. 51:9-12

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
