The Compromise of Our Hearts

The Compromise of Our Hearts 1 John 1:6-10 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us If we confess our sins,…

They've Told Me To Apply The Opportunities Given To Me, But What If They're UNWANTED. One Small Choice Determines Most Possibilities.... Or Do They?

[iamnotcoolenough]

So this afternoon on my way home from work I was thinking about repenting. Often I repent for sins and I always say "lord forgive me for the sins I don't even know I am commiting." And at this point I am unsure of what sins I am really commiting as the ones I knew of I have stopped. So I asked "Lord what sins am I still commiting that I don't even know of?"

And the answer was so quick "gluttony and sloth." And it's true. And I felt so convicted I started crying and thanking him for telling me. But the problem is they are two sins I've struggled with my whole life and I tried so hard to do things in my own will for so long. So I asked him to help me because I just can't get over these things on my own. I have always gotten pleasure from these things and I am a sinner and I seek pleasure. I seek happiness in the world and not from God. And I just started crying asking for help because I need it. I can't do it on my own.

Anyways, the point I'm making here is to ask God what sins you're still committing if you don't know, because if you genuinely want to know he will tell you. Ask him and he will give.

James 1:5-8

"5 But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord; 8 a doubleminded man, unstable in all his ways."

VII. THE REASON WHY MANY CANNOT FIND REST

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye doubleminded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep; let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” — James 4:7-10. PERMIT…

But Now

“But now” is an important method when it comes to understanding the Bible. If we straddle prophecy and mystery we will be unstable and doubleminded as things are different now to the way they once were in times past during Matthew, Mark, Luke & John. During the time of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John the law (keeping the Sabbath, celebrating the feast days, adhering to a kosher diet, etc) wasn’t…

7. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;

8. he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

#29 THE LIE OF THE TITHE

Most of us have been taught in a denominational setting that tithing is a doctrine for the church today.  The preachers go to Malachi 3:8-12 and tell the congregation of Christians that they must pay 10% of their gross income to the church or they are robbing God.  They believe they are cursed with a curse if they do not tithe.  Verse 10 says that God’s response will be to “open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing until it overflows.”  The next verse says He will rebuke the devourer from the fruits of the ground and the vine.  This was the Law for the Israelites who were called the Sons of Jacob in the scripture.  

The tithe was to be taken every year for the support of the priestly tribe of Levi and it primarily consisted of food, wine, herbs, goods and money so that the priestly tribe had sustenance during the year. They had to fulfill their priestly duties and did not always have time to do any other work to earn a living.  The Israelites had not been obeying the law of the tithe and the Levites were suffering.  So, God’s words concerned the tribe of Levi and the breaking of the law.

In Matthew 23:23 Jesus spoke of the scribes and Pharisees and how they kept the law of the tithe giving mint, dill, and cumin, but neglected the weightier provisions of the law, speaking of justice, mercy, and faithfulness.  Jesus lived under the Law until His death and kept all of them, being the only person to ever keep them all, obeying all the commandments of His Father and never sinning. Jesus put tithing under the Law of the Old Covenant which changed at Calvary!

There are two covenants.  The provisions of the Old are for the Jews and Hebrews.  The second or New Covenant is for Christians.  The first part of the New Testament is not for Christians. Jesus was under the Law until He shed His blood at which time new provisions came about.  In Hebrews 7:5 the law commands a collection of a tenth from the people, the descendants of Abraham for the sons of Levi who received the priest’s office who had no portion or inheritance among the tribes.

Before the law, Melchizedek gave a tenth of his spoils of war to Abraham as a voluntary offering for one time only.  The law did not happen until God gave it to Moses. In Matthew 5:17 we see that Jesus came to fulfill the Law.  He did not abolish it.  He lived under it and fulfilled it.  He covered all things.  

To receive atonement under the Law the people sacrificed unto God every year and were cleansed for the past sins of the last 364 days.  They gave the blood of bulls and goats to pay for their sins for a year and they repeated it the same way every year for the previous year’s sins. Hebrews 7: 6-8 was written in the present tense before 70AD while the Temple was still in place and the Jews still received tithes.  But now the Temple is gone and there are no more tithes as under the Law. In Christianity we receive redemption and salvation once through the blood of Jesus on the cross.  There is no need for another sacrifice again and again.  The blood of Jesus took care of everything for all of us one time.  It is an abomination to God to be mixing the blood of bulls and goats with the blood of Jesus, His Son.  That kind of sacrifice was under the Law and was not to be done again because the Law has been fulfilled.  This pertains to the Law being fulfilled and part of the Old Covenant and not for Christians.  As is the tithe!  It is done!

It is mentioned in Deuteronomy14:22-26 concerning the tithe that the people should eat the tithe from the field – grain, wine, oil, flocks, in the presence of the Lord where He established His Name so that they could learn to fear the Lord.  And if it was too far to go they were to exchange the tithe of their goods for money and go to where the Lord chooses and spend the money for whatever their heart desires and eat in the presence of the Lord.  Then they were to take their tithe every third year to their town for the priests and widows and orphans.  God gave the crops, goods and flocks to them and He doesn’t want the Israelites to forget that He is the One Who gave this wealth.  He wants them to remember Him.  

Hebrews 7:11 – 28 expands on the theme of the priesthood and their purpose.  The statement is made that if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood or the Law there would not have been a need for another priesthood to arise.  When there is a change of priesthood there must be a change of Law.  The writer speaks of the new priesthood from another tribe which has never been before or officiated at the altar.  Jesus was from the tribe of Judah, not a Levite.  Jesus is proclaimed a Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. Then we read that the tithe is being set aside, a former commandment, because of its weakness and uselessness, or because it was unprofitable (King James).  The Law made nothing perfect, but there is a better hope.  And Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant! The Levites held their priesthood until death and there were many of them. Jesus abides forever and holds His priesthood permanently!  He saves forever and always lives to make intercession for us.  He was sinless and does not need to offer sacrifices daily for Himself and the people.  He did once for all!  The Law appoints men, but the word of the oath appoints a Son made perfect forever!!

Jesus represents a new covenant and priesthood. Hebrews 8: 4-5 states that the priests under the Law serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things.  Jesus obtained a more excellent ministry.  He was the mediator of a better covenant enacted on better promises.  The first covenant was not faultless.  There was need for a second covenant!  When He said a new covenant, He made the first obsolete and ready to disappear!  In Hebrews 9 Jesus is seen as the new High Priest Who gave His blood as a perfect sacrifice once for all and became the mediator of the New Covenant.  He becomes the new Tabernacle, not with the blood of goats and bulls, but without blemish He offers Himself to God and cleanses our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.  Chapter 10 says again of the Law that it is only a shadow of the good things to come, and can never make perfect those who draw near.  If it could there would not have been need for continual sacrifices.  In sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year by year.  If the offerings worked to cleanse sin we would no longer have had consciousness of sin.  It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sin.  By this New Covenant we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all!

The Law was fulfilled by Jesus’s sacrifice.  The tithe was under the Law.  It was not profitable and was indeed useless.  Jesus became the High Priest of the tribe of Judah. Change of Priesthood meant a change in the Law.  The lie of the tithe is based on performance and fear of not meeting up to the Law.   Romans 8:2 says that the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set us free from the Law of sin and death.  The Law has not been abolished, just fulfilled.  Jesus was the perfect sinless sacrifice and He died as each one of us and was resurrected as each one of us!  His performance met God’s Law and was supremely important for our lives!   The tithe was obsolete and has passed away.

 We now live under a New Covenant and part of that covenant is shown in 2 Corinthians 8:9.   That provision of our Covenant has to do with finances.  We are made rich because Jesus took poverty.  When we receive Him as Savior, we receive this provision.  2 Corinthians 9:6-15 speaks of offerings to be given as cheerful givers while our provision is received.  Pastors and Ministers are each receiving the same covenant from God and do not need to rely on tithes anymore.  Instead they need to learn the truth and ask God for understanding about how to receive the finances which have already been given.  We are all to ask the Holy Spirit what His will is concerning our offerings.  We say at our church, New Creation Ministries, ask the Lord and do what He says. 1 Corinthians 9:14 states that “the Lord directed those who proclaim the gospel to get their living from the gospel.”   In other words, we all get our living from the gospel, from the benefits of the cross.  Those include righteousness - right standing with God; health – by His stripes you were healed; and riches – by His poverty we were made rich.  It is this gospel which has been given already and paid for by His blood that we all as believers are to live and receive our living!  So, when we give to support the lives of our pastors and their families, we are to give offerings, not tithes!  

The tithe is gone.  It is no longer to be part of the Christian’s life.  The remaining belief systems concerning this lie need to be confronted in spiritual warfare.  I needed warfare to tear down many religious strongholds and the Holy Spirit had to show me what they were and how to deal with them.  The best way to uncover the faulty belief systems is to spend time with God and speak in your prayer language which is direct, pure communication between you and the Father.  He will reveal all that needs to be known through the Holy Spirit.  Salvation means deliverance from conditions and circumstances. Deliverance is a wonderful gift from your Father.  The enemy has a lot invested in each of us, and us learning the truth threatens him. Of course, he doesn’t want you to know about the tithe being obsolete.  He doesn’t want Christians knowing the truth and walking in freedom. Bondage in believers is his protection. And we shall know the truth and the truth will set us free.  If we continue to practice the tithe, we will still be in bondage and denying the truth. Making light of the benefits of the cross is an abomination to God.  So is substituting the blood of bulls and goats for the blood of His Son.  We will not receive the benefits Jesus died to provide because we are double-minded and unable to receive anything from God.  “Be renewed in the spirit of the mind. Ephesians 4:23”   The battle is in the spirit!

THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD This is one of the most memorized, quoted, and useful verses in the Bible. Paul begins with the Old Testament truth that the God of the Bible is the only God who exists. This statement is the Shema, meaning "the saying," the foundational saying of the Law: "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might" (📖 Deuteronomy 6:4–5). The second phase transitions to the concept of a mediator. A mediator is a person who serves as an intermediary between two people or parties. Jesus serves to bring people to God (📖 John 14:6) and is the only way to God (📖 Acts 4:12). 📖 Hebrews 9:15 mentions this same theme, saying, "Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant …" Similarly, 📖 Hebrews 12:24 uses the phrase, "Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant." Paul also highlights the humanity of Jesus, calling him "The man Christ Jesus." He is God in human form, one hundred percent God and one hundred percent man (📖 John 1:1–14). This verse not only speaks to the reality of the Christian God but also that Jesus Christ is the only way to be reconciled to God. No other being, spiritual or human, is needed as a go-between for us and God. The symbolism of the torn temple veil (📖 Matthew 27:51) applies here: Jesus is the way we communicate with God, period. There is no additional step, and there is no other channel. #itiswritten #onegod #jesusisking #doubleminded #falseidols https://www.instagram.com/p/CgOSKohufax/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Double-Minded Christians I wonder how confused the angels of Heaven are when we: Say we trust God... but trust others more. Say we obey God... but disobey Him daily. Say we honor God... but boldly honor the ungodly. Say we love God... but passionately love what He hates. Say we repent of wrong... but ready for the next misadventure. Say we believe our place in Heaven... but all too ready to raise up Hell. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing. James 1:22‭-‬25 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/jas.1.22-25.ESV Be sober-minded; be watchful.
