God's
Path
Jeremiah
6 : 16 - 20
"Stand
at the crossroads and look , ask for the ancient paths [paths of old]
ask where the good way is and walk in it . You will find rest for your
souls . BUT THEY SAID "we will not walk in it" .
Many of God's people are standing at the crossroads , spiritually . They
know the truth of the Old Paths , but find themselves not fully
persuaded to go back to them . There is a new path craved out by man
that they have embraced . The Spirit of God is calling God's people to
come back to the paths He ordained many generations ago . The presence
of God , His Son and the Holy Ghost abides in the Old Paths . Anything
we have need of can be found in the Old Path .
Through the years many
"spiritual waves" have come across the body of Christ . Some
from God , some from man . The "waves" of man have come to
exalt flesh . Man says he has seen a vision , writes a book and declares
God spoke to him. Those who are anchored in God's word will not accept
man's words . This is where false teachers and preachers deceive God's
people . Try the spirits and see if they be of God .
1
John 14 : 5
God's
people MUST be fully persuaded in the Old Paths , not looking for new
ones.
Romans 14 : 5
"Let
every man or woman be fully persuaded in their own minds..."
God's word is in the Old
Paths , that gives spiritual life . It is the Holy Ghost taking God's
word and creating spiritual life in our soul and spirit . Man's books
have no life in them , they can inspire and bless , but they do not give
Eternal Life . We will all be judged by God's living word , thus saith
the Lord . God's word is sacred!!! Read
Deut. 4 : 2 do not add or subtract from the commands given The bottom
line, God's word is sacred and all who alters it , is in deep
trouble .
Preaching of the cross,
1
Corinthians 1 : 17
Preach
the gospel , not in human words , lest the cross of Christ has no power
. The cross was the final altar of sacrifice for mans sins . We must go
back to the cross , the starting point of our journey to our heavenly
home .
Blood of Jesus . God has
required a blood sacrifice for redemption . It was animals until the
final sacrifice , the Lamb of God , Jesus the Son of God , Hebrews 10 .
Born again experience , where
the Holy Ghost creates God's word in our soul and spirit , as stated in
John 3 : 5 - 8 . Thus produces a new creature in Christ Jesus . Flesh
and blood will not inherit the kingdom of heaven ,
1
Corinthians 15 : 50
Confession and repentance , a
path that gets the ear of the Father and the Son . It is confession of
sin and sorrow of repentance that ushers in the forgiveness of our
merciful Heavenly Father . Pride has kept many from this path . May we
not be so foolish as to not confess or repent when the Holy Ghost deals
and our candlestick be removed , Rev. 2 : 5 .
The person of the Holy Ghost
. The path of His teaching and preaching IS A MUST for God's people .
His ministry is mostly to the redeemed , He has only one ministry to the
world , convict of
sin . He dwells in the path of righteousness where the Father and the
Son dwell . Many are allowing a mixture of heavenly wine of the Holy
Ghost and flesh . Flesh and the Spirit of God DOES NOT
MIX!!! The Holy Ghost will depart!!
Path of worship . Worship has
gotten off into many paths . Something's called worship , God calls
false worship . Jesus tells us what is true worship is , John 4 : 21 -
24 .
This is only some of the Old
Paths God is calling His people too . There is paths of fear , reverence
, Godly wisdom and more . God led me too a scripture after I struggled
with this
message , it is:
Isaiah
58 :1
"Cry
aloud , spare not , lift up your voice like a trumpet and SHOW MY PEOPLE
their transgressions and sins.."
We are the voice of God , He
is calling all who knows what the Old Paths are , to lead His people
back to them . Those who handle the truth of God's word will give an
account of how we handle it and how we ministered to God's people .
This is not a message to the world , it is a message to God's people . A
call to God's own to go back to the Old Paths that God ordained for his
people to walk in , to get to their heavenly home!!
