By the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit our lives are to be poured out in service, worship, wholehearted devotion to our God and Savior, and for the souls of a righteous harvest.
- See Philippians 2:17 -
Our short stay on this earth is the glorious opportunity to be “born again” as “children of the Living God” who grow up to become like our Savior. (John 3:3, 1 John 3:1) By His indwelling Holy Spirit He gives us the privilege and freedom to pour out our lives as a “drink offering” so that others can know Him and live. (Philippians 2:17) Nothing will stand and testify against us when we stand before Him if we followed in our Savior’s footsteps. Our lives are to be poured out in service, worship, wholehearted devotion to our God and Savior, and for the souls of a righteous harvest. Sadly, there are so many “professing believers” who don’t understand that only those who are “born again” through repentance of sin and faith in our Savior’s atoning cleansing blood, will truly surrender their lives to Him in order to walk obediently. As it is written, “the gift of the Holy Spirit is “given to those who obey Him.” (Ephesians 2:8-9, John 3:36, Acts 5:32) One time of repentance of sin is the beginning of “working out our salvation”, which is “the good fight of faith” against the flesh. (Philippians 2:12, 1 Timothy 6:12) Only through daily and continual repentance is there victory over the flesh, its sin, and the pull of the world.
Yahshua (Jesus) proclaimed, “whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.”
- Matthew 16:25 -
When the Holy Spirit lives in us, because we are “new creations”, only then can we recognize our fallen flesh nature as our enemy. (2 Corinthians 5:17) We see the flesh from the vantage point of being in the Spirit and recognize that it is continually in opposition to the Holy Spirit. Our flesh is always trying to pull us backwards to stay in our old self nature, that loves the things of this perishing world that Yahshua (Jesus) redeemed us to come out of. As it is written, “For the desire of the flesh is against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another …” (Ephesians 5:17) As Yahshua (Jesus) proclaimed, “whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.” (Matthew 16:25) We are to continually rededicate our lives on Messiah’s holy altar so we don’t forget who we belong to.
We have been redeemed with the most costly price, the precious “blood of the Lamb” of God, and our “lives are not our own.”
- See Revelation 12:11, 1 Corinthians 6:20 -
Those who are supernaturally “born again” are learning to live in the Spirit of truth by denying the pulls of the flesh and its desires for this temporary world. (John 3:3, Galatians 5:17) They are one with Messiah, and one in Messiah. Their life is spiritually “hidden in Him” if they are “born again”. (Colossians 3:3) “For you have been born again [that is, reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose] not of seed which is perishable but [from that which is] imperishable and immortal, that is, through the living and everlasting word of God” who is Yahshua (Jesus) the Messiah. (1 Peter 1:23 AMP) We have been redeemed with the most costly price, the precious “blood of the Lamb” of God, and our “lives are not our own.” (see Revelation 12:11, 1 Corinthians 6:20) We are to “glorify our God in our body” by wholeheartedly serving Him in word and deed. (Colossians 3:17) This is the work of the Holy Spirit in and through us, teaching us to serve as Yahshua (Jesus) served. We read in Scripture, “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45)
The righteous redeemed remnant will follow Yahshua (Jesus) and forsake everyone and everything that would hold them back to the flesh, the world, and sentiments of this natural life versus passion for eternal life with the One who is the ultimate love and desire of their hearts"
-See Matthew 16:24, 19:29, Revelation 2:4-
Messiah’s redeemed children, filled with His Spirit, consider others as more important than themselves. Apostle Paul speaking to “professing believers” then and now, sorrowfully stated, “for all seek after their own interests, not those of Messiah Yahshua [Christ Jesus].” (Philippians 2:21) It is written, “Do nothing from selfishness or selfish ambition but with humility of mind consider others as more important than yourself.” (see Philippians 2:3) Human nature will always ask, “how can someone be more important than myself?” Those who are truly “born again” are living spiritually in the newness of resurrected power, they are a supernatural “new creation” being “conformed to the image and likeness of their Savior.” (John 3:3, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Romans 8:29) Yahshua (Jesus) said if anyone truly wants to be My disciple, which means to be taught and transformed by Him, He specified a fundamental vital requirement saying, “… let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.’” (Luke 9:23) There is only a tiny little remnant with a kindred spirit who have that all inclusive love for Yahshua (Jesus) and Him alone. At any cost they will continually lay down their lives as He did. This righteous redeemed remnant will follow Yahshua (Jesus) and forsake everyone and everything that would hold them back to the flesh, the world, and sentiments of this natural life versus passion for eternal life with the One who is the ultimate love and desire of their hearts.
When we pour out our lives so that others can live, Yahveh is glorified through this act of selfless worship and service to Him and to others. It is seen as the highest form of worship, because we are withholding nothing as Yahshua (Jesus) withheld nothing"
Apostle Paul compels us saying , “… I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.” (Romans 12:1) As Yahshua’s (Jesus’s) servants we “die daily”, meaning we deny our flesh in order for the indwelling Holy Spirit to be manifested in and through our words and deeds. (1 Corinthians 15:31) When we pour out our lives so that others can live, Yahveh is glorified through this act of selfless worship and service to Him and to others. It is seen as the highest form of worship, because we are withholding nothing as Yahshua (Jesus) withheld nothing. We are pouring it out in service to Him, service to others, and the sacrifice of our earthly lives and its desires. Then we can fulfill the purpose for our redemption down here and eternally, to serve Him and to co-labor with Him to bring other sons and daughters to the Kingdom.
In wholehearted diligence to deny ourselves, we are fulfilling the biblical requirement to be “crucified to the world and the world to us"
- Galatians 6:14 -
This is the “working out of ones salvation”. (Philippians 2:12) There will be those who will cry out with repentance who see all the things in the way in their hearts and Yahveh will help them. He will get them to the place where He is the all in all, and they will learn “to live, move, and have their being” in His loving Spirit. (Acts 17:28) His tiny remnant will long for this blessing and know the process will require a lot of tears, repentance, blood covering, and crying out. They know “He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” and that He will answer them. (Hebrews 11:6) In wholehearted diligence to deny ourselves, we are fulfilling the biblical requirement to be “crucified to the world and the world to us.” (Galatians 6:14) This allows Yahshua (Jesus) in us, the only “hope of life changing glory” to be exalted in and through our redeemed, surrendered, obedient lives. (Colossians 1:27) Our Messiah came that we would “have life in abundance” and fill His Father’s Kingdom with redeemed born again sons and daughters who bear His likeness. (John 10:10) If indeed “the Holy Spirit lives in us”, and our lives are in Yahshua (Jesus), we will be motivated through His compelling love, to “pour out our lives as a drink offering” as He did, so that others can receive the gift of eternal life. (Romans 8:11, Philippians 2:17) Yahshua Messiah speaks directly to our hearts emphasizing, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends” and others. (John 15:13)
