Moral excellence by outer observation, because of inner revelation.

Moral excellence is lacking in some today, some that call themselves Christian.

It should be by outer observation that others can see that we have received inner revelation. A change in our behavior that is evident by those who know us.

Moral is: right conduct of duties of man, ethical, virtuous, discriminating between right and wrong.

Excellence is : to surpass, especially in good qualities, making worthy good choices.

The divine flow of God in our life, produces moral excellence.  Notice I said divine flow, for something to flow it must be moving and alive.  Just like a river, when it is flowing it goes over rocks and stones, these purify the water.

Our trials and tests are like stones and rocks, as the Holy Spirit like a river flows over us in our training process, we too become purified in our actions.

We are already purified by the blood of Jesus in the new spirit that we have.
Perfect and complete.

It is the souls realm that needs the moral excellence to be manifested in our life.

1Thessalonians 4:1-8
Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort you in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and please God;
for you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
For this is the will of God, your sanctification, that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification  and honor, not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God;
that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified.

(The early Thessalonian church was full of former homosexuals, who were converted to Christ) They had to be trained in the things of God.

(7) For God did not call us to uncleanness, but holiness.  Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit.

Part of the fruit of the Spirit is self-control, moral excellence is produced by self-control.
Moral excellence will take faith, obedience to God's word and followed by our actions.

Proverbs 16:20
He who heeds the word wisely will find good, And whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he.

If you find yourself, leaning into immorality, viewing things that grieve the Holy Spirit, then repent, turn completely away from what offends the Holy Spirit in you, and turn toward God, Jesus is waiting for you with open arms.

Ask the Holy Spirit to help you return to what you know to be right. You don't want the enemy to keep you bound up in guilt and shame.  Be free again in Jesus!!
 
Let your outer observation to others, be evident that you have received inner revelation, to walk worthy of the Lord. Holy, (separated to the Lord)

 Deny your flesh (that old sinful nature) and follow Jesus, where you will have peace and joy and sense God's love for you. He always loves us, it is  when we choose to follow the desires of the flesh, that sense of God's love is not felt.

Walk in moral excellence, the Holy Spirit is there to walk with you.

God bless your day
Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus
Joy

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...

GOD'S LOVE LETTER TO HIS CHILDREN. PART 2

Read God's word and see how many times He chose to bless and not curse His people. God knows our every move and cares that we understand there is obedience to His word that will help us. God's word is a light unto our path.  Psalms 119:104-105 Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. God's word is rest for the weary, when we have not obeyed the word of God, we will become weary, anxious, and fearful, when we choose to do our own thing instead of what God tells us to do. Jesus loves us too much to leave us where He found us.  Praise God that he did find us searching for truth. Thy word is truth and Jesus is that word. So yes, there will be reminders for our spiritual growth that is needed. Will you squirm and try to fight the Holy Spirit? Yes, because the flesh always fights the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lust against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and th...
