No Excuses

[excerpt from a brother Samuel Byun's email from Hillsong NYC church]

No Excuses

I'm not perfect. I have all kinds of problems. I don't know the Bible well enough. I have no ability. I don't have any gifts. I'm limited. I'm just not worthy...

Well, did you know that....

Moses stuttered.
David's armor didn't fit.
John Mark deserted Paul.
Timothy had ulcers.
Hosea's wife was a prostitute.
Amos' only training was in the school of fig-tree pruning.
Jacob was a liar.
David had an affair.
Solomon was too rich.
Abraham was too old.
David was too young.
Peter was afraid of death.
Lazarus was dead.
John was self-righteous.
Naomi was a widow.
Paul was a persecutor of the church.
Moses was a murderer.
Jonah ran from God's will.
Miriam was a gossip.
Gideon and Thomas both doubted.
Jeremiah was depressed and suicidal.
Elijah was burned out.
Martha was a worry-wart.
Did I mention that Moses had a short fuse?
So did Peter, Paul - well, lots of folks did.

God doesn't require a job interview for salvation. He's our Heavenly Father. He doesn't look at financial gain or loss. He knows who we are and what we are and loves us in spite of ourselves.

SATAN SAYS, "YOU'RE NOT WORTHY."
JESUS SAYS, "SO WHAT? I AM."
SATAN LOOKS BACK AND SEES OUR MISTAKES.
GOD LOOKS BACK AND SEES THE CROSS.
​

There are lots of reasons why God shouldn't call us. But if we are in love with Him, if we hunger for Him, He'll use us in spite of who we are, where we've been, what we have done, or the fact that we are not perfect!

We all dwell a short time in weak sin filled bodies [Flesh] No one or anything else we see onn this planet is perfect or as GOD had made it !It all defiled by Sin ! that why our flesh mind and body die! but what He does perfect ,is our Spirit man ! That why He wants us living thur our spirit! It hates sin ! It has no use for sex or money or anything else onj this Planet ! It only wants to please the LORd , it hates hate! I found if we Fast three days water only reading the Bible and Praying , we will walk Much more in our spirit and not full fill the lust of the flesh!
Gal_5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

He makes three promises if we will FAST? He will cause us to break every yoke! Meaning anything that holds us back from serving HIM perfectly and Hearing HIM WELL! 2- He will heal our flesh body ! 3- He will come and talk with US!
We then Can Ask Him anything we want?

GOD wants too use us All to help others in this life and help too free them! many are in bondage! The Truth SETS US FREE ! lies hold us and bind us! Jesus came to SET US FREE!

Joh_8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

We need to Only hear HIm and Follow Only HIM!
Many are bound by religions or pastors or books !

 

[David777]

Thanks Spirit1st, I will fast for three days and tell
you the outcome. I have a thorn in my flesh that I
have been unable to deal with. Will let you know the
outcome.

 

[spirit1st]

We Do all things as unto the LORD for his Glory and honor1 We fast because we want to please him and be the being He wants us to Be! our reasons must be for HIM! I pray he blesses you greatly and uses You in a mighty way ! touching many lives for the kingdom of GOD! in the mighty name of our LORD JESUS CHRIST!

Isa 58:6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
Isa 58:8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.
Isa 58:9 Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am.

Luk_5:35 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
