Lawless deeds

Message meditation:

Matthew 7:23
 Roman 6, 7, 8

This particular thought has been on my heart for a bit.  It is something I feel God is working to get down in my soul, that it would minister life to the hearer.   In it's most simple form this is no more than regular, passionate obedience. ....

As we are aware we are His workmanship, it makes it pointless to strive to become something in ourselves.  We could never fulfill the righteousness of God in ourselves.  If we get even close self righteous pride begins to permeate its foul odor!  This is not a how to be holy message at all, but one which is a response to God's Spirit wooing to be yielded.  It is a call to my own heart to yield my members(flesh) unto righteousness.  It is being led by God's Spirit in agreement with God's word.

Yielded for one will look different for another.  For one it could be tithing, to another it could be fasting or witnessing to your neighbor. Yielded simply is responding in obedience to the season, lesson, or action Jesus wants you step into, learn, or do.

I hope you can hear my heart here, no one is throwing stones.  Honestly is there anyone outside the Lord Jesus himself is without sin??  The impression God put on my heart is lawless deeds is the thing we do when we do not respond to God's revealed will.  We could do something which would look good but in fact it is disobedience when God is calling to do something else.  Ok I 've totally been there..again no stones from me.

If the Lord Jesus is speaking to you..make an alter in your heart, confess and give it to Him and go and do your first work.  Father help us as you children to obedient to the promptings of your Spirit and yield our members unto righteousness!
