Strait is the Gate and Works along the Way

In this flesh life, you're going to get your feet dirty.  We're all sinners and we live in satan's world system, which is filled to the brim with unrighteousness and unrepentant sinners.  The spirit of antichrist, or another jesus (a counterfeit - satan), is in the world.  Carnal men are of the world, thus they speak of the world, and the world heareth them.  You see, feel and experience this everyday and, sometimes, it feels as if the backward ways of this world is surrounding you from all sides, like a tidal wave that's ready to engulf you. 

When you feel overwhelmed, you need to stop relying on your own strength, and find the perfect strength in the power of Jesus Christ.  For Christ said, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness" (2 Cor 12:9).  It's in our weakness, when we can fully feel His power.  His strength is perfect; ours is not.  Only His strength and His Word will fuel you on your journey as a Christian.  It's a journey that's impossible to complete without Him.  You would have never seen the destination, or the way, without Him.  You didn't even know such a path existed, or that the mountain to climb, was ever even there, until He showed you.  It's an amazing journey and you don't even have to physically travel to experience it. 

Matthew 7:14  "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life [eternal], and few there be that find it."

Matthew 7:15  "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."

Christ's way is strait, it's narrow, and leads to Eternal Life.  But there are few that truly seek or find it.  The lukewarm or carnal path, filled with man's traditions, often turns into a substitute for many believers' first love, Jesus Christ.  Instead of following the True Christ and His WORD, they turn to organized religion and the precepts of men, which lead them astray into another gospel, another jesus.  Christ's door is narrow, so there's no room for the traditions of men or other doctrines.  Wolves in sheep's clothing will lead you to another door, to a different feeding trough, and onto satan's "dark ride no. 13".  In the devil's carnal and material world, the laws of reversal, confusion and abominations rule.  You shall know the wolves by their fruits, because they will reek of blood, hypocrisy, vomit and regurgitation.

Matthew 7:16  "Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?"

Matthew 7:17  "Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit."

Matthew 7:18  "A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit."

Matthew 7:19  "Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire."

Matthew 7:20  "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."

The lukewarm believer says he wealthy, increased with goods, and has need of nothing.  He's the "well-adjusted" man to society, career and even family.  Yet, he doesn't recognize that he's spiritually poor, blind, miserable, wretched and naked.  He has followed the "way of cain", the ways of this world, and the ways of the false chosen people.  If you seek Christ for worldly riches, status and comfort, how do you know it's Him that you actually follow?  Because satan, the prince of the power of the air, tried to offer the very same things to Jesus.  When a person's fruit is based on the outward appearance of righteousness, it has no value in service of GOD.

The grape is used in remembrance of Christ in communion.  The figs represent the children of cain, or kenites, and the fig leaf is symbolic of things that are hidden.  This goes back to the Garden of Eden, where Adam and Eve tried to cover their shame, the body parts involved in their sin, with fig leaves.  They weren't in an apple orchard, but a fig orchard.  The verses also relate to Mark 8:24, "I see men as trees, walking" in the Garden of Eden.  A good tree, or person, does not bring forth evil fruit, or works, and vice versa.  Can you tell the difference?  Because the lukewarm believer cannot; he's more indoctrinated than the heathen.  Fruit is also connected with seed.  There are seeds for sowing (in your mind), seeds for eating (for your physical body) and seeds for procreation. 

Matthew 7:13  "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:"

wide = G4116. πλατύς - platus (plat-oos'). From G4111; spread out “flat” (“plot”), that is, broad: - wide.

G4111. πλάσσω - plassō (plas'-so). A primary verb; to mould, that is, shape or fabricate: - form.

The substitute journey on the wide path, or wayside, is just a fabricated ride, made up of lies and illusions.  The serpent's system of indoctrination will make you see things, like Adam and Eve eating an apple in the Garden of Eden, when it's simply not there in Genesis.  Most people are conditioned to think it, through media, illustrations, stories and the doctrines of men.  The world is backwards, friend.  The majority of things that mankind tends to value highly are the least important and most fleeting.  The carnal and temporal are all the devil can offer.  

Satan's dark ride "13" is the wide path, the way side or well-trodden road, to destruction and the lake of fire.  You don't want a ticket on the devil's small world ride, even if it's first class, with it's temporary perks and bargains.  The devil's children and agents are just spiritually dead actors in the antichrist's world stage.  Inside, they're ravening wolves disguised in sheep's clothing, and pretending to be the children of Light.  The wolf is at the door.  What are you going to do?  You put on the whole armour of GOD, Jesus CHRIST, the Living WORD.

Revelation 14:13  "And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the LORD from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them."

The works that you do, in serving GOD, on this short trip will affect you for an eternity.  Your works do follow you.  If you think that there's no rank in heaven, think again.  The only difference is that all rankings in heaven are fair, unlike in this world, where servants ride upon horses, and princes walk as servants upon the earth (Eccl 10:6-7).  Even in the First Earth Age, lucifer worked his way up to become a protecting cherub of the Mercy Seat, the very throne, of ALMIGHTY GOD. 

Revelation 3:5  "He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of Life, but I will confess his name before My FATHER, and before His angels."

Revelation 19:8  "And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for a fine linen is the righteousness of saints."

Saints are holy, or separated, ones, which means they have a different ranking, or position, than those that aren't.  Those that overcome have victory and success through Christ.  You have to work to have success; that means no works, no success.  The pure and bright fine linen are the righteousness of your acts, which must occur in your flesh life.  In the military, the various ranks for soldiers are displayed using different uniforms, hats and medals earned.  The flesh world mirrors the spiritual world in many ways, so there are positions and titles in Heaven.  If you have a major disability, you're already an overcomer.  Your brothers and sisters in Christ will do the fighting with and for you. 

Getting into the Kingdom of GOD on bare minimum, and naked as a jaybird, is your decision and what you have to deal with for all eternity.  Don't think that you'll make five talents into ten by just doing nothing.  Telling everyone you're a Christian, pointing out every person's flaws, and flaunting self-righteousness is not works.  

If you've seen more than a few sunrises and sunsets, since becoming a Christian, you have no excuses.  If GOD has given you much, He'll expect much.  That's the way it goes.  The works that count towards your fine linen are the ones done for our LORD, representing no gain to self in the flesh life.  If you really see the world for what it is, you wouldn't want the worldly fame, fortune and status, anyway.  The wicked have no works as well as no place in the eternity.

Isaiah 59:6  "Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands."

To conclude this study, let's go to a short essay titled, "Others May, You Cannot", written by G.D. Watson.  If you're on the Right Path and doing your best as a CHRISTman, or woman, this should help to encourage you in the WORD and on the Strait Path.  Aim for the high calling of our FATHER.  That's how the blessings roll on high.  Stay in His WORD.

Matthew 16:23  "But He [CHRIST] turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind Me, satan: thou art an offence unto Me: for thou savourest not the things that be of GOD, but those that be of men."

Carnal men put their hearts into worldly rewards, and satan's real good at offering them.  Sometimes, when you get exactly what you want, you need to stay sharp by checking if it aligns with the WORD.  Selling out is a subtle process. 

Matthew 16:24  "Then said Jesus unto His disciples, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me."

Titus 3:8  "This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in GOD might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men."

Others May, You Cannot

By G.D. Watson

If GOD has called you to be truly like Jesus in all your spirit, He will draw you into a life of crucifixion and humility. He will put on you such demands of obedience that you will not be allowed to follow other CHRISTians. In many ways, He seems to let other good people do things which He will not let you do.

Others who seem to be very religious and useful may push themselves, pull wires, and scheme to carry out their plans, but you cannot. If you attempt it, you will meet with such failure and rebuke from the LORD as to make you sorely penitent.

Others can brag about themselves, their work, their successes, their writings, but the Holy Spirit will not allow you to do any such thing. If you begin to do so, He will lead you into some deep mortification that will make you despise yourself and all your good works.

Others will be allowed to succeed in making great sums of money, or having a legacy left to them, or in having luxuries, but GOD may supply you only on a day-to-day basis, because He wants you to have something far better than gold, a helpless dependence on Him and His unseen treasury.

The LORD may let others be honored and put forward while keeping you hidden in obscurity because He wants to produce some choice, fragrant fruit for His coming glory, which can only be produced in the shade.

GOD may let others be great, but keep you small. He will let others do a work for Him and get the credit, but He will make you work and toil without knowing how much you are doing. Then, to make your work still more precious, He will let others get the credit for the work which you have done; this to teach you the message of the Cross, humility, and something of the value of being cloaked with His nature.

The Holy Spirit will put a strict watch on you, and with a jealous love rebuke you for careless words and feelings, or for wasting your time, which other CHRISTians never seem distressed over.

So make up your mind that GOD is an infinite Sovereign and has a right to do as He pleases with His own, and that He may not explain to you a thousand things which may puzzle your reason in His dealings with you.

GOD will take you at your word. If you absolutely sell yourself to be His slave, He will wrap you up in a jealous love and let other people say and do many things that you cannot. Settle it forever; you are to deal directly with the Holy Spirit, He is to have the privilege of tying your tongue or chaining your hand or closing your eyes in ways which others are not dealt with. However, know this great secret of the Kingdom: When you are so completely possessed with the Living GOD that you are, in your secret heart, pleased and delighted over this peculiar, personal, private, jealous guardianship and management of the Holy Spirit over your life, you will have found the vestibule of heaven, the high calling of GOD.

Peace in CHRIST JESUS,

The House of Bread

Bethlehem = Hebrew: בֵּית לֶחֶם‎ Bēṯ Leḥem, Modern: Bet Leḥem [bet ˈleχem], lit. "House of Bread"; Arabic: بيت لحم‎ About this sound Bayt Laḥm, lit. "House of Meat.

Jesus was born in Bethlehem, meaning the "house of bread" (in hebrew), or the "house of meat" (in arabic).  So the Bread of Life, CHRIST, was born in the House of Bread.  Pay attention to details, because GOD's WORD is precise and detailed.

Psalm 50:16  "But unto the wicked GOD saith, What hast thou to do to declare My statutes, or that thou shouldest take My covenant in thy mouth?"

Psalm 50:17  "Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest My words behind thee."

If GOD is Number 1 in your life, you will eat the WORD.  You'll fill up on the WORD, and it's so good, that all you want to do is share it.  Christ is the Light and that's what you share.  What He tells you in the darkness of this world, you speak it in light.  You feed your spirit with the Living WORD, Jesus CHRIST.  For in The Beginning was the WORD (JESUS) and the WORD was with GOD, and the WORD was GOD. 

Your daily bread is the Bread the Life, the WORD of GOD, which feeds and nourishes the spiritually meek and hungry.  So sit down to meat at the LORD's table, and drink from the cup of the LORD, that runneth over with Truth.  Be generous with sharing His WORD.  Generosity should not be limited to yourself and your immediate family, because that would be selfish, cliquish, even greedy.  Jesus said to love thy neighbor as thyself.

Matthew 4:3  "And when the tempter [satan] came to Him [CHRIST], he said, If Thou be the SON of GOD, command that these stones be made bread."

Matthew 4:4  "But He answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of GOD."

The temptation in the wilderness occurred at the very beginning of Christ's ministry and our LORD fasted for forty (the number "40" represents probation) days and nights.  You spent approximately 40 weeks inside your mother's womb, in the water sac, upon being birthed as a crying baby into this flesh world.  The system that you're born into is called the matrix, which means womb (rechem), for that's where conception takes place.  This first probationary period is outside of your control, but the second probation, as a Christ man in the wilderness is based on your faith, decisions and actions.  

Your biggest trials happen in the beginning of your journey as a CHRISTian, just like the temptation in the wilderness occurred at the beginning of CHRIST's ministry.  Jesus showed us how to get things done our FATHER's way.  So the very first lesson CHRIST teaches during His ministry is to eat and live the WORD.  Just like eating... studying our FATHER's Letter to You should occur daily.

Christ cannot be tempted.  The trial in the wilderness was an ensample of what to do and expect, as a Christian, living in satan's world system.  Satan knew who CHRIST was (YAHVEH'S SAVIOR THE ANOINTED ONE) and so do all of the fallen watchers and evil spirits.  Satan also knew that CHRIST's physical body was hungry after fasting.  

In Matthew 4:3, the devil's saying, "You're the SON of GOD.  Make these stones into loaves of bread."  Satan is the prince of the power of the air, or of this material world.  As the counterfeit christ, the devil promotes everything carnal and flesh as being more important than what's spiritual.  The temptation in the wilderness, with Christ, happened because the Israelites couldn't pass the test, coming out of Egypt.  They were fed by GOD, yet disobedient to Him, but Christ hungered and was obedient, doing everything perfectly.  The tempter, satan, wanted to know if Christ would put carnal health before spiritual health.  If Christ did, which of course he didn't, it would have been contrary to the WORD of GOD.

1 John  2:15  "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the FATHER is not in him."

1 John 2:16  "For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the FATHER, but is of the world."

1 John 2:17  "And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of GOD abideth for ever."

Did you get that?  He that doeth the will of the FATHER abideth forever.  Being a hearer only doesn't cut it.  You must apply what you've learned.  Many Christians fail to even learn the meat of the WORD, because they allow themselves to be bottle-fed with fables and watered down doctrines, processed by the hands of men.  If you don't care enough to want to know what was the real sin in the Garden of Eden, then you don't care about Truth as much as you think or claim.  It's the first major story in the Bible and if you can't get it right, you won't understand the rest of it as a unit.

Mark 4:18  "And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the Word,"

Mark 4:19  "And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the Word, and it becometh unfruitful."

When a person puts himself, or the world first, he becomes deluded by the very things that he cherishes or places before ALMIGHTY GOD.  The hearer only crowd becomes double-minded, when they accept the precepts of men and the knowledge of the world over GOD's WORD.  Their works become reprobate, meaning rejected by GOD. 

The devil will try to take you through the wide, or fabricated, path, which is filled with the carnal cares and ways of this world.  The double-minded, lukewarm believers never pass probation.  They just accepted satan's bargains during their trial in the wilderness.  They call evil good and good evil, choosing the way of cain, and praising satan's children as the chosen people.  The blind and indoctrinated believe that these khazars, kagans (cai-gans - kings of khazars), and fake israelites are God's chosen.  But their god is satan, a counterfeit, who runs this world system through his seedline, a secret cabal (from the word "cabala") that follows the tradition of the elders.

Deuteronomy 8:2  "And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy GOD led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep His commandments, or no."

1 Peter 4:12  "Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:"

Pass probation.  The fiery trial will refine you and try you like gold, if you're of the third part, or remnant and elect of GOD.  If you're going to be a servant of our Heavenly FATHER for eternity, He's going to prove thee, so that He knows you can be counted on.

Deuteronomy 8:3  "And He humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that He might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every WORD that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live."

The ensample and lesson that Christ taught, in the temptation in the wilderness, was for you to live His WORD.  It's your owner's, or instruction, manual for Life.  Christ cannot be tempted; he was showing you how to get things done.

John 6:48  "I Am that Bread of Life."

John 6:49  "Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead."

John 6:50  "This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die."

John 6:51  "I am the Living Bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."

Angel's food can sustain an angelic body, and even a flesh body.  Yet, the ancient fathers ate manna in the wilderness and died.  The flesh body will fade like a flower and wither like the grass.  Eat the Bread of Life and you will live forever.  The WORD was made flesh and dwelt amongst, and He gave His flesh, meaning Himself, to bring salvation to the world.  When you partake of that flesh, the WORD, you'll never die.  The WORD will give you the answers, wisdom and knowledge to serve the Living GOD, and to become successful with His blessings.  The WORD teaches you how to please Him and to live life with purpose. 

The hidden manna, or meat, is within the WORD of GOD and it's the key of David (the master key from the master key holder, Christ) that opens all doors to truth, unlocks the parables, and understanding of the two genealogies, or seedlines.

Deuteronomy 11:18  "Therefore shall ye lay up these My words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes."

You lay up His words by being both a hearer and doer of the WORD.  There's no other way, unless you have a disability that keeps you from performing those tasks.  You don't do as some religious pigeons do and take these words in the carnal sense, meaning literally.  What's behind the eyes and forehead?  Your mind.  Your hand represents your actions. 

Deuteronomy 11:19  "And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up."

This means to live and apply the WORD in all that you think and do, all day, everyday.  Regardless of a good or tough day, do you still eat, sleep and brush your teeth?  If you do, than you certainly have time to talk to your FATHER and spend time in His Letter.  You're to also teach your children about Passover and holidays such as Thanksgiving and CHRISTmas.  Not halloween, easter or other pagan traditions.

Isaiah 50:4  "The LORD GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: He wakeneth morning by morning, He wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned."

To be spiritually awakened, morning by morning, takes study, discipline, practice and consistency on your part.  You need to feed your spirit, because focusing on the ways and cares of this world will dim your spiritual eyes.  In the hebrew language, the word for "in season" is "ooth", which means to hasten, or to apply and deliver the WORD on time.  When you lay up His WORD in your heart and soul, you can react to situations instantly.   

For example, a professional fighter doesn't have the time to go back into an instruction manual, in the middle of a fight, when he forgets a move or technique.  It just doesn't work that way.  The devil's not stupid.  To you, the devil's style of assault may appear chaotic, but it's not.  His style is very calculated and technical, brutal and cunning.  He has many methods of attack.  The hearer only believer never fights.  He's only well-read in fighting, and has heard multiple stories, from fake fighters out to make a name for themselves.  Many things are easier said than done.  You may know or memorize a technique, but if you never get to practicing and doing it, you won't be able to execute it properly and at the right moment.  And so, today, we have many pretend Christians that just sit, and listen, but never do.  Real fighters are humble, because the entire process is a humbling experience.  Yet, there are no supermen and without Christ, the devil will beat you every time.  So who do you want on your side?

You are the Light of the World - pt 2

Zechariah 13:9  "And I [LORD GOD] will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on My name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is My people: and they shall say, The LORD is my GOD."

The remnant and elect comprise the third part of GOD's children that stood with Him, during satan's rebellion, in the First Earth Age.  This third part has been "tested" and "proved" through their loyalty and obedience to ALMIGHTY GOD.  The devil, or lucifer, drew a third part of the stars of heaven (Rev 12:4), which represent the sons (or children) of GOD, in his first rebellion.  Another third were "lukewarm" or too selfish to stand for anything but themselves.  They are the stiff necked sheeple of our day under the sun.

The good sheep know their Shepherd's voice and follow Him.  GOD's sheep come in different colors, shapes, sizes and so forth.  There are no alphas in our FATHER's sheepfold, because He is not a respecter of persons.  The greatest amongst them will do the serving.  If you want to be somebody in heaven, for a certainty, you'll be unpopular and the least in this flesh world.  GOD rewards those who love and serve Him.  The devil can only offer temporal, or material, things and illusions.  The carnal mind cannot be satisfied and lives only for the things which can be seen.

2 Corinthians 4:18  "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."

Satan's world is backwards, where the strong are selfish, carnal rich and prideful men.  Try spending a day in the shoes of someone with a major disability, and then, tell me who are the strongest souls.

With the Holy Spirit within you, GOD will change your habits and give you new goals, according to His will and purpose for you.  Christ's University doesn't issue paper certificates, or degrees, of men.  If you're pliable for Him, He will teach you, through His Spirit and WORD, and help transform your physical, mental and spiritual health.  If you want His Light to shine through you and unto others, first repent, rid yourself of pride, and put in some work towards positive change.  Indoctrination and pride will stunt your spiritual growth and render you useless to ALMIGHTY GOD.  You cannot teach a man who thinks he knows it all.

Proverbs 1:7  "The fear [reverence] of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction."

Fear is better translated as "reverence", for we reverence the LORD and not man.  Fear is reserved for the non-believers, which haven't even started gaining true knowledge.

Proverbs 22:4  "By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life."

Any man who doesn't revere the LORD is a fool.  No amount of worldly riches can compare to loving and serving the Living GOD through His Son and Savior, Jesus Christ.  To know His promises, and calling for you, and to live your life with purpose is more than what any man or system can ever offer.  Men and their systems will fail you.  There's no one thing, quick fix, or the next thing that will bring you true happiness or contentment.  Peace of mind comes from the Living WORD, Jesus CHRIST.

Wisdom dwells with prudence and the Holy Spirit with patience and meekness.  By humility and reverencing of the LORD, riches, honor and eternal life are yours, because He promised them in His WORD.  Have the faith, put in the study and work, to know and claim His promises.  With the LORD on your side, you'll always be content, knowing that you're standing on the greenest pasture, and have the blessings and gifts that can only come from Him.

1 Corinthians 7:20  "Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called."

Never walk away from your calling.  You'll end up spinning your wheels, coming full circle, or falling flat on your face.  You cannot become whatever you want to become.  If that were the case, everyone would be 10x more successful than they are now.  There are no supermen, only unworthy men that need a Savior, and that Savior is Jesus.

1 Corinthians 7:21  "Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather."

The modern day equivalent of a servant is an employee.  The difference is the boss gives your a paycheck, for your work, instead of directly covering your food, shelter and health care expenses, etc.  Yes, masters did care for the health of their servants, because a sick servant leads to a loss in profits. 

There's nothing wrong with having an employer or having employees.  You can share the Light and lead by example, whether you're employed or operate a business.  Caring for family is also a full-time job.  If GOD has given you stewardship over a business, make the best use of it, by serving our FATHER, all the more, and giving Him the glory.  There's nothing like having ALMIGHTY GOD as your Boss.

1 Corinthians 7:22  "For he that is called in the LORD, being a servant, is the LORD's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant."

1 Corinthians 7:23  "Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men."

I'm a slave for CHRIST.  Who's slave are you?  Everyone worships, but all too often, people worship everything else besides the Creator.  You don't have to live off-grid to have mobility within the matrix.  Being a slave for CHRIST, sets you free from satan's system.  Salvation is free to you, if you believe upon Jesus and doeth Truth, which means to be a doer of His WORD.  But Christ paid an awesome price, with His shed blood on the cross, to give you eternal life and forgiveness of sins.  The most important ministering happens in your everyday life.  The little moments and actions add up to the big picture.  GOD is in the details, so make the small details in your life godly, like a smile, or a helping hand, to lift someone up and encourage them in the WORD.  You use your GOD-given gifts.  Serve and give glory to our FATHER in all that you do.  Live the WORD.

Isaiah 64:8  "But now, O LORD, thou art our FATHER; we are the clay, and Thou our Potter; and we all are the work of Thy hand."

Our LORD is the Potter; we're just clay.  As clay, you need to be pliable and that's starts with water, or the Living Water, Jesus Christ.  It starts with the WORD of GOD.  Infants start on a liquid diet, such as milk, and eventually get weaned and introduced to meat.  The same goes with the WORD.  You start off with liquid truths and as you mature, you move into absorbing solid truth, or the meat of the WORD.

For the potter to begin molding and shaping clay, the piece must be properly centered in the middle of the potter's wheel.  Centering the clay is a primary step in throwing pottery.  Clay that is not centered will be off balance.  As a result, when the thrower begins pulling up the piece, he will end up fighting it the whole time.  GOD won't work on you if you're resistant or stubborn. 

Psalm 32:8  "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with Mine eye."

Psalm 32:9  "Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee." 

He is not going to use a horse's bit, either, in order for you to follow Him.  He will only gently lead you in the right direction.  A disciple is disciplined, obedient and humble.

Matthew 10:24  "The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord."

The potter makes the center of the clay by moving his thumb(s) across the lump, until no further friction is felt.  That friction is resistance.  We have to be properly centered in Jesus Christ, before GOD can start to mold and shape us.  If you follow the ways of the world and the traditions of men, your mind and heart will be molded by a counterfeit potter.  In ancient egyptian mythology, the false deity, known as khnum, was portrayed as a potter, forming the first humans on a potter's wheel.  The myth goes that khnum made children from clay and placed them inside mothers' wombs, or matrices.  Khnum is a counterfeit potter and just another name of the devil.  The counterfeit potter molds vessels that give off false light.  Only the True Light, Jesus CHRIST, can light every man that cometh through the matrix.
