“And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?”
Luke 6:46 KJV
“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? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”Matthew 7:22-23 KJV
It's about obedience!
“Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:” Luke 6:37 KJV
“For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Matthew 6:14-15 KJV
It's about obedience!
“Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.”
Matthew 5:7 KJV
It's about obedience!
“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.” Luke 6:45 KJV
It's about obedience!
It's about love!
“If ye love me, keep my commandments.” John 14:15 KJV
It's all about what's in your heart! Pride, unforgiveness, bitterness, anger, fear, unbelief, worry, idols, hatred, jealousy, envy, and the like!
Examine yourself! Ask God to reveal what is hidden there, and when He shows you (and He will), repent!
He wants to clean you up, and tear down the walls in your heart, you have built over the years; from all of the hurts; walls that protected you as a child, but that keep Him from having your whole heart! It's time to clean house! Un-clutter!
“From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
Matthew 4:17 KJV
Repentance is not a one time thing, it's a daily walk! He brings trials and tests into your life to expose the sin you are still hiding! He knows it's there and He wants you to deal with it, instead of shoving it back down!
“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.” Revelation 3:19 KJV
Repent while there is still time!
Be obedient!
“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” Matthew 5:8 KJV
Even so - MARANATHA!
