God is for …Jesus

🎤🎼”God is for me, I am who you say I am”🎹

There is a sliver of Christian truth to these lyrics, but only…if applied to the ecclesia.

But there is also a massive amount of over applying and misapplying this truth to every thing and everyone labeled Christian.

To be clear, God is FOR Jesus Christ exclusively. And he is FOR the living breathing community of Jesus Christ.

He is not FOR religious individuals who fit right into Satan’s world system. Be it his Christian religious money-system we sometimes call church or ministry. He is not for individuals who refuse his painful discipleship with their pursuit of ease and pleasure with wealth and who are living according to the pride of life or the lust of the flesh.

If that applies to you, don’t waste your mental energy applying those lyrics to yourself.

But IF Jesus Christ can be absolute center of your life, if he personally is your connection to others. If knowing him is your source of love with and for others. If he is why you gather and is not just your religious mascot. Then grab some mics and sing it loud “He is for us, not against us, we are who You say we are”

Serving For Happiness

Ever hear Christians say this? “Serving people makes me the most happy.”

Might be true for some people….sometimes, depending on their mood and outlook.

If it’s limited and in their control ? Or maybe I’m being cynical, or maybe not.

Nevertheless, since when should “what makes me happy” be the guide for the Christian life? It should not matter what “makes me the most happy” or fulfilled.

When we boast about what “makes me happy” perhaps what we are really saying is that “serving people when it’s on display and I get credit for it (people appreciate or applaud for it) makes me feel good about myself.”

When serving doesn’t “make me happy” that’s when it’s service. Until then it’s probably your religion on display.

When it’s unnoticed and disregarded, when it’s hard and it hurts and it’s sacrificial. When those you serve spit in your face, wipe off the saliva and do it again, serve then. I’ll applaud for that.

Possess by Letting Go

On the one hand the church is to undo and subdue the works of Satan. Possess the promised spiritual land that God has decreed that is ours, like they did in Canaan.

But on the other hand we cannot control much of anything. Like Israel going into Canaan we cannot pick our fights, we can’t go after those that disgust us the most. We can’t avoid the giants and go after the little guys. We cannot decide what we can plunder and what must be burned. Like Israel we cannot decide which cities can be destroyed and which ones we can have mercy upon.

We, like they possess by letting go of control to God and as long as it takes for us to learn, that he will take with us even if our lives pass us by. We possess not by controlling and trying harder. We possess by yielding, and walking in absolute moment by moment surrender. Being careful not to overlook how we disobey, or how we persuade ourselves how we don’t really need to fully obey.

Have mercy on our stubbornness Lord.
