The WORD of LIFE

57-0113 WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE A CHRISTIAN LIFE?

Today many so-called servants of God, they like men's praise instead of the honor of God. Paul didn't care for the praise of men. He wanted the honor of God.
Galatians 1:8-12 "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ."

Today the Holy Ghost is God's covenant with God's covenant people. The Holy Ghost, the Life of the resurrected Christ, has got to be displayed in the church amongst the people, making Him "the same yesterday, today, and forever."
No matter how loyal a member you are! You might be whatever you may be, a good man or a good woman. That sure is fine. We appreciate that. But only the Token will keep you alive, God's Token."

The churches change and the people changes. The roads changes, the scenes changes, the politics changes.
Time changes, weather changes, nations changes, but God is in unchangeable. He does not change. He is the same all times.
When God is called on the scene to act, or to make a decision, the way that He acts, or the decision that He makes, that is forever the same. He cannot change it, because He is infinite. He is perfect.
You and I can say a certain thing, and next year we will have to change it, and do something different, because we are finite.
Jeremiah 17:7 "Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is."

Somebody is watching your life. Watch every move you make. There is somebody that you are influencing. Your life is a written epistle read of all man.
We must be honest with each other in all of our dealings. If we can not be honest with each other, we can not be honest with God.
Somebody is watching you. You are influencing somebody by the things that you do, and the way you live, and the things you say. Separate yourself from the things of the world. Have nothing to do with the world.
You must reflect Christ. Your walks, your talks, your actions all must reflect Christ.
You might not think that people are watching you, but they are watching every move you make. You are a Bible to many people. You must watch what you do, your business deals, and everything that you do in your entire walk.
Always remember that your life is influencing somebody. Maybe it is a little child. How you are influencing somebody, you will have to answer for it in the judgment day.

A man under pressure is what he is when he is under pressure. The real spirit inside him will reflect when he is under pressure.

Watch your associates. Keep your company clean. You must always remember that when you are in bad company, you are out of the will of the Lord. If you lay down with a dog with fleas, you will get up with the fleas.
You can not associate yourself with the things of the world and except to stay spiritual and humble before the Lord. You are known by your company.
When the church begins to keep company with the world, it gets out of the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, gets out of the company of God, and of angels, and of God's heritage.

The tree is known by its fruit. The life in the tree proves what it is, regardless of what the bark looks like, or what the limbs look like, or what shape the tree is grown in. It is the fruit that counts.
That is how a Christian is known, by the fruit that he bares; not the way he dresses, how intellectually he is, how well educated he is, what church he goes to. He is known by the life that he lives.
You are what you are by the way you live. You are not what you are by the way you talk, or the way you dress, but the way you live. The outside expresses what is on the inside.
Our characters is molded by what is on the inside of us, and our outside only expresses what is on the inside. What we are, how we walk, no matter what we say, our life speaks louder than our words does.
What we need is the Life of Christ inside of us. It takes the power of the resurrected Christ to make us what we should be.

We must go back to the principles of Jesus Christ, back to His Doctrine. What we need today is a clean, Pentecostal Gospel with the power of the Holy Ghost back into the church again.
Let us go back to the beginning. Let us get away from all these bishops and popes and all kinds of doctrines. Go back to where we started at.
What we need, today, is a nest stirring time. What we need today is the power of the Holy Ghost. What we need today is eagle food, preaching that Jesus Christ still heals. He is the same.
What we need today is an old fashion, God sent, heaven born, Holy Ghost, revival that will shake the starch out of church members and get them back on the right path again to the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
Where is a man that stands for what is right? Where is the man that is not afraid to speak out? Regardless, the whole world's against him, speak out for what is right, and stand for it and die for it.
What we need is a man that preach the Gospel and handle it with the powers of God, tell the truth, regardless if the organization kicks him out.
We need man of God anointed with the Holy Ghost that preach the Gospel regardless of what the organization or denomination says about it.
We need men behind the pulpit, not a bunch of theological sissies that are afraid of something to say to the people. We need men of courage, good men, filled with the Holy Ghost, that stands there that will not preach sissified stuff, and creeds, and denomination, but preach the true Gospel, regardless of what organizations, and denominations, and bishops, and popes, and so forth says.
