How OUR OWN Messes are Coming About

Last week - How the mess of Christianity and the world has come about!
1) Wrongly Dividing - yes, even from the beginning! Look at the ungodliness Christianity has become... II Timothy 2:15,16
2) Love of money I Timothy 6:10

Today - OUR own messes - Bible Believers, etc.
The messes we have!
The messes we are going to have!

How do we do Galatians 6:1-4?

Do you ask why your prayers do not appear to be answered? Still have the mess?
Do you wonder why your needs are not being met? Still have the mess?
Do you still look for those 'miracles' and 'doings' of Jesus that you think are promised to you today? Still have the mess?
Your own manner of life - or your family's a mess?
Your kids / teens? attitudes, decision making, obedience, no parental respect, wrong love concept, no 'close family' concept, no direction in their lives, no awareness or desire for truth in their future lives / careers, etc. Are they heading to the world's mess of wrong division of the Scriptures - and is there a love of money, etc.?
Have we developed a "Religion of Righteousness' all based on our 'good walk' as taught to us - but all for the wrong reason, etc.?
Has the gospel and Acts caused us to have a conceit - thinking we are doing great and it is all for us, etc. Romans 11:25; Romans 12:16
Do you really think you have already attained? Paul hadn't - so you think you have? Philippians 3:12

Well, yes of course...
1) Our soul is fine! See Romans 3:22; II Corinthians 5:21
2) Sin is not imputed! See Romans 4; Romans 5:13
3) We are no longer to worry about the law of sin and death! See Romans 8:2
4) We have received the Spirit of God! See Romans 8:9,10
5) We are sons of God - we are the children of God! See Romans 8:14,16,17
6) We certainly have heard of Paul's message!
7) We certainly have heard the exposing of what is going on today!
8) We certainly have become boldly aware of what the Great Commission teaching does today!
9) We certainly see how the 'increase' today is nothing but preparing the local church for the tribulation, etc.

So why do we have the messes we still seem to have?

Is Numbers 14:8 a verse you think is TO you? Do you think in this manner: If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.

Are you still looking for that "Jesus Magic" in your lives? After all, Galatians 2:20 says...

That is the modern Pentecostal Ecumenical Christianity teaches - and if Jesus doesn't heal your messes, it is because of a lack of faith, and all that barooha!

Answer:
We still reap what we sow! Galatians 6:,7-8
It isn't God's judgment - it is a result of our own following the flesh instead of the Spirit!

FLESH
Our flesh is dog meat - heathen flesh!
See Romans 10:19
Matthew 7:6
Mark 7:27,28

While we have been given the whole table along with all the food on the table, that same table has become the snare, the trap, the stumbling block to the Jews today!
See Romans 11:9

Remember Mephibosheth?
II Samuel 9:8 - a 'dead dog'
II Samuel 9:10-13 - ate at the table alway!

Our flesh is still lame - and should not glory! I Corinthians 1:29

Read Galatians 6:78; 5:16,17; 6:9,10!

Paul is the apostle to the Gentiles!

Paul is really an apostle to a bunch of dogs - heathen!
See Galatians 1:16; 2:9; 3:8! Paul is the man God sent to us for today!

Preparing for the Tribulation
Note how the trend in modern Christianity is all geared to the flesh!
Fleshy activities such as hoopla rah rah revivals; fleshy music in the beat and melody, etc. ; worship team and leaders, etc.; confession; remission; Bible psychology; lasciviousness; feelings; etc.

That is even why God has to pout the Spirit of God upon the flesh during the Tribulation - Acts 2:17,18, etc.

We are clean on the inside but are still dogs on the outside - we must strive to walk after the Spirit, not the flesh!
Galatians 5:16,17 - This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 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.
