Witness or Warrior II

Welcome brothers and sisters to this chapters Bible Teachings, we are now continuing from the last chapter about the Witness or Warrior topic. From last chapter we talk about the difference in Witness or Warrior, if you want some reference look up the last chapter. Just for a short reminder, when saying we bare witness we are also seeing God at work in not just miracles, but also take part as we are witness to his works and those who witness what God does in our lives. While the warrior is the part in us that desires to fight or take parts that allow us to be warriors.

Are you a Warrior?

This question is not asked as much, because we don't always know what God wants us to do nor do we asked him in these times. Most times we try to use our strength, knowledge, will and power in ourselves that allows some good works, but not in a way God intended. Sometimes the works God asked are things we will despise, avoid, run from, or just anything that would keep us away from God's own plan. This is develop overtime due to us wanting to fulfill desires that don't benefit us or what we should seek in this life we have. Most times while many are good men and women who have done great things in their life, that doesn't necessary mean we are considered good by God's eyes. This tends to lead us to work towards our salvation in vain, believing we have the strength we have is enough. The question many of us should ask is this strength, will, and knowledge truly something of our own? Or is something God made us for his purpose yet we don't take part in his plan.

Folks this is a sobering reminder that there will be many good people in this world that have lived without God. But those same good people as many of us declare will be judge by God's law and righteousness. All of us will face the judgement sit of God and we have only two options in the afterlife. We are to be followers of God or sent into the burning pit of hell. Worse there will be those who claim themselves are followers of Christ when truly they only seek self glory and gain. These people are those with lukewarm belief, and sadly all of us can fall victim if we don't examine ourselves if we're truly followers of Christ or simply claim to have followed his name. How many of us can truly say as Christian, Saints and Believers that we are truly given salvation and lived our lives the way God intend. To those who have I can only pray that you continue to follow what God has intended and allow him control over your life. For many of these good people will be warriors, yet still fall short to God.

Are you a Witness?

When you are a witness of God, it doesn't just mean you have seen the works done by others, you are also living as witness of God. Able to live by truth and righteousness by his Holy Spirit and follow with the 9 fruits of the spirit. Faith alone can only get you far, but our faith must be place in tests and trails if we truly live by faith in Christ. For even Jesus followers were once great in his days of ministry. Many of them call him teacher having heard, seen and witness his power first hand and his words being alive by living in truth. He lived among us as human, yet still is Son of God as he is named. But the sad fact is when his time came many of those followers dwindled as they found his ways too hard or just harsh that their feelings are hurt. Worse yet when his day of crucifixion came many of the people turned against him as it was foretold. This lead to many mockers, scoffers and all the sorts we understand both in old times and modern times. Very few knew who Jesus is and only those few understood what was happening. This truly is both sad and joyful. For if he didn't do what he did we wouldn't be living as Christians, Believers or Saints in faith.

Jesus Disciples are the perfect examples of being witness to his glory and power. They have seen and heard what Jesus has done and taught to many who had ears to listen. Yet another prefect example is what one did that brought eternal death to his life name Judas Iscariot. Infamous for turning Jesus to the romans that lead towards his death, all for the sake of thirty pieces of Silver. He bear witness to many of Jesus own life and what he has done for everyone. He saw Jesus preform these miracles, able to teach what no one could say other then truth, help those in need and willingly be the guiding light as many of us should be for those lost. Jesus done many great things that anyone would believe and know what he said and did are truth. Yet Judas in his heart had long been corrupted the the devil and his ways, seeking for his own gain and glory. His betrayal can be describe as weak faith in Christ. And truth be told we can be seen as this as weak faith for Christ when we don't considered what we're doing and how we are doing God's work in faith. Judas in the end was a warrior that would seek for his own, while he might have been a good man, but he turned on Jesus and showed who he really was inside. Many of us are warriors that seek personal gain in our harden hearts, and many of us are rightfully judge as guilty, even those before living as followers of Christ.

Chose wisely

Folks at the end of our lives, to our very last day and breath. When we face God we will answer to him and how we lived our lives either in Christ by his words and Holy spirit or by our own strength that will lead towards damnation. I cannot say who is reading this nor can I judge you for your life actions and ways of living. For I am not the judge or to say what you done is right or wrong. If I start declaring this towards people God will rightfully judge my actions and words that are said towards people. How I should live is by God's will, plan and purpose for my life. One of them is to ministry and tell everyone of the lost and those that live in Christ through ministry to encourage, speak in truth and live humbly by his God's grace, living in justification and sanctify by his words, holy Spirit and walk with God. But we must also remember we are living a sinful world, and we tend to make mistakes or commits sins we are not ashamed to admit. However even when we fall, we must continue seeking God and believe in his power and perfect plan. For God didn't elect us because we had any perfect qualities of humanity. No for many of his followers before Christ and after Christ are those who no one would follow, listen, and despise the most. When God is at work, he will change you, mold you and transform you into newly living beings as your heart no longer hardens, but softens in humility and willingness to follow Christ. Some if not many of you feel you aren't worth the trouble, yet God says you are because be made you through your parents, and will do much for you if you allow him to live in your lives. God is knocking on your doors inside your heart, question now is are you will you answer to become his witness vessel or ignore and used your strength as your warrior ways?
