Food Fight

If a person does not yield to the perfection of Christ Jesus, that one joins the company of foolish virgins who get left behind in the act of collecting oil. The Old Testament is full of righteous and unrighteous acts that were put there for many reasons three of which are;

• so that we may see and acknowledge His work
• to draw the unrighteous into His shelter
• for those who are under a New Covenant so that we may not repeat the mistakes of the past
  

He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is the Alpha and Omega who knows the beginning from the end. Recognition does not come with out sight and sight does not come without recognition.

Collecting oil in itself is not wrong. The work itself is productive and fruitful, but if one who is greater comes that lesser work should be hidden in the Greater Light. There is a time, and a time to come, when none of us can work. In His presence the Work is done already.

In our day to day work lives we can miss the Lord of the workday. In this eleventh hour we must do everything unto Him. If the Principles are not credited to Christ Jesus they will work but eventually they will cause many sorrows. We should take on His burden because it is easy and light.

We as Christians are called to know them by their fruits but this scripture does not specifically say we must pick apart this fruit or reduce it to its lowest common denominator to inspect if it is true or false. This fruit is meant for a certain brother or sister in the Faith that will be or is in the life of the one bearing the fruit. And may or may not be for us specifically. I was taught that if you have the true the false will clearly be evident. The effort is in the hunger to see the difference, and hunger is increased or decreased and not sought. Ingest what you want to see and the filthy excess will fall away in the healthy. If you are not in health ingest what you want to see and you will be healed. Jesus reinforces this in Luke 4:18.

All of us in the Faith have a particular pastor that we are assigned to. When one is out of order, he or she causes serious damage to the Body that can only be reconciled by the Chief Minister of reconciliation Christ Jesus Col. 1:14. It is said some are sick and even die prematurely because personally one does not allow Christ Jesus to do this.

A word from me to you. If you do not share the vision of your pastor or overseer I would advise you to ask for release to go to another fold, rather than causing others to stumble. This is a serious and a affront to Father God Himself. He gives Grace to the humble but resist the proud.

If we have any righteous hope of finding our place in the Body of Christ we must know that each of us is limited and God is infinite. We must always keep this in the forefront. And again David responds, "My sins are ever before me.." And again David responds, "What is man that you are mindful of him?"

So without true Hope in Christ Jesus there is no Faith, but always remember John 17:17 the prayers of the Messiah are always answered by Abba Father. Will you answer Christ Jesus in the affirmative? He calls out, put the weight on Hope and pray with Me. 

He is the Hope of Glory. Eph 1:18
