Acknowledge your
complete needfulness for God and inability to reach Heaven and escape
the consequences of sin on your own power. Repent of every sin.
Acknowledge Jesus as the risen Son of God and beg Him to wipe you
clean. Commit to Him that He will be Lord and Master and that He
alone will direct you. Without any reservation or evasion, you must
mean that you intend to seek Him and do as He leads - even if it
means discomfort, abuse, sacrifice, change, suffering, separation or
even death. Ask for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in as great a
measure as He is willing to give you. Don’t seek gifts for the
sake of gifts, seek God - and He’ll decide on the gifts for you.
Be willing to chase holiness - to strive and urge forward for it
everyday. Go and sin no more.
If you mean that
Christ is Lord, then you must mean that His Word is the final
authority. Spend most of your time in praise and worship of God
because He is holy. This is the most pure expression of our love -
for this we were made. Seek out anybody else that is absolutely
committed to doing as God directs and is willing to speak only Truth,
even if it's hard. Spend time together praising God and seeking His
face. Each of you be prepared to minister. Don't rely on a paid staff
person to do it.
The ultimate
source of Truth is God's Word. Learn to love it, take it everywhere,
read it and ask the Holy Spirit to explain and teach you what you
need. Practice speaking pure Truth with no hint of Man inserted. Test
everything against the Word of God.
Hold onto the
good, run from evil. Learn to have no love for any created thing that
exceeds your love for the Creator. Work hard. Whatever you do, do it
as if you are doing it for God. Pray that God will help you have as
large a positive impact as possible. More than anything else, God
want's to first restore His people and convert all the altars back to
the worship of God. Pray for the churches.
Take big arm loads
of Truth and begin feeding the hungry. Go out as missionaries to
speak into the hearts of the people where God leads you. Always speak
in love and humility, pointing the way to Christ alone. Remember, you
are trying to save eternal souls - never focus even for a moment on
the immediate, always on the eternal.
Find those who can
also commit themselves fully to Christ and involve them in your
Fellowship. Praise God always for His use of you to save others. As
your act of obedience, divert all available resources and assets only
to those individuals and organizations most efficiently converting
earthly treasure into heavenly treasure - that is, feeding the
hungry, reaching the lost, caring for widows and orphans, supporting
the Brethren in the hard places, equipping missionaries to push back
the darkness - the same priorities that Christ has. Anyone that shows
a "love of money" should be instantly suspect of being
ensnared by the enemy and should be prayed for desperately - that is
the root of much evil. God has already prepared many who are no
longer susceptible to attack from that direction - find them and give
them what they need.
Seek out other
Fellowships and submit to each other in love. Seek to support the
members of your own Fellowship as they go to serve or split off to
start more Fellowships. Seek unity through harmony. Don't get
distracted for a single moment by secondary issues or debates. We
don't want everybody singing the melody, we want everyone in harmony
and singing the part written for them by God. We need all the pieces.
None can be wasted. But be willing to rebuke as God directs, and
forgive if they repent. Expect wolves and spies and infiltrators.
Expect the enemy to be sneaky. This is war.
As you stay inside
of Truth, get to know the will of God and use all your gifts and
talents within His will, amazing things are likely to happen. Expect
miracles. Beg to be filled with the empowering of the Holy Spirit and
use what gifts He’s given you. Stay filled by a constant focus
on holiness and purity and praise. Then pray that God will enlarge
you so you can hold more. Pray for the greater gifts - those that can
do the most damage to the enemy.
Obey God only.
Time is short - so don't waste any. Go in love - and never give in.
