Are we of Jesus? Either we are 100% of Jesus or we are deceiving ourselves and the others!

  • “Wisdom cries… because I called, and you refused; I stretched out my hand, and no one paid attention; but you have despised all my advice, and would have none of my warning, I also will laugh at your trouble; I will mock when your fear comes; when your fear comes as a wasting away, and your ruin comes like a tempest; when trouble and pain come upon you.” (Proverbs 1.20,24-27).

If we are only 99,99% of Jesus, we truly appertain to Ha-Satan. But, how can we assess our spiritual condition?

1 – When Jesus (the wisdom of the Creator – Colossians 2.3) calls us, we come to Him with alacrity, or we draw back?

2 – When Jesus stretches out His hand to ask our help, do we take heed to it? Or we behave exactly as the priest and the Levite of Luke 10.31,32 who, when saw the moribund man, passed by on the other side.

3 – When Jesus stretches out His hand to help us, do we pay attention to it? Or we turn a blind eye to His succour and try to sort out our predicaments in according to our contrivances? May Jesus free us from look on His ways as not equal (Ezekiel 18.25,29) and try to solve the problems making alliances that dissatisfy Him (as did Ahaz – Isaiah 7.11-13; 2Kings 16.7).

Recall: even if our methods resolve the problem, they never works the salvation of Christ in us, let alone in people around us.

4 – When Jesus advice us, we accept or deprecate it? I know that the way of Jesus, for the natural man, they are foolishness unto him (1Corinthians 2.14). Notwithstanding, it is what allow Him to work His wonders that corroborate His word (Mark 16.20).

5 – When Jesus admonish us, we give in to it or disparage it (or worst: rebel against it)?

  • “My son, despise not the chastening of Jehovah; Neither be weary of his reproof: for whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth; Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.” (Proverbs 3.11,12).

Remember: problem isn’t a natural thing. Therefore, don’t get used to them: go to Jesus, hear His voice, procure His gift, talents and spiritual guns and enjoy a victorious supernatural week walking from faith to faith (Romans 1.17), from glory to glory (2Corinthians 3.18), from grace to grace (2Peter 3.18).
