follow Jesus

Whose Voice?

A tactic of the enemy is to wear out his opponent. When you are exhausted your emotions do not remain subdued. Truth and My Voice are more difficult to hear. Do not allow the enemy to keep you busy with work that is not from Me. Follow only Me. I will not lead you by guilt or condemnation, fear or pride. If you take on work or ministry motivated by those voices then you are following a stranger that wants to rob your time and energy and peace. Follow Me. John 10:27-30  27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one. 2 Timothy 2:4 No one in military service gets entangled in matters of everyday life; otherwise he will not please the one who recruited him. Ephesians 6:13 For this reason, take up the full armor of God so that you may be able to stand your ground on the evil day, and having done everything, to stand. 2 Corinthians 2:10  And what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, 11 in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes. Hebrews 5:14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. John 2:24 But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people. 25 He did not need anyone to testify about man, for he knew what was in man. Isaiah 53:6 All of us had wandered off like sheep;each of us had strayed off on his own path, but the Lord caused the sin of all of us to attack him. Philippians 1:9 And I pray this, that your love may abound even more and more in knowledge and every kind of insight 10 so that you can decide what is best, and thus be sincere and blameless for the day of Christ, Proverbs 16:28 A perverse person spreads dissension,and a gossip separates the closest friends. 1 Peter 2:12 and maintain good conduct among the non-Christians, so that though they now malign you as wrongdoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God when he appears. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God did not give us a Spirit of fear but of power and love and self-control. 2 Corinthians 6:18. . . ”I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”

Keep Your Eyes on Me

When you self-punish for your sin you stop looking at Me and look only at yourself.  You stop listening to Me and listen to yourself. Self-condemnation only leads to more pride, more self-righteousness, more judgmentalism, and more self-centeredness. You cannot follow Me when you take your focus off Me to stare at your sin and unworthiness. Focus on My Love. Romans 7: 24-25  Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.
