“MEET FOR THE MASTER’S USE, ARE YOU BEING PREPARED?” 2 Timothy 2:19; Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. *This brings us to your being in pursue of the Lord. Luke 9:23; And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take take up his cross daily, and follow me. “MEET FOR THE MASTER’S USE, ARE YOU BEING PREPARED?” 1 Samuel 1:3-17; v3; And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the Lord of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the Lord, were there. *The question is who is going to church, the denying version of you, or just you? Hophni and Phinehas were also the sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord (1 Samuel 2:12). 2 Timothy 3:7; Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. “MEET FOR THE MASTER’S USE, ARE YOU BEING PREPARED?” 1 Samuel 1:5; But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the Lord had shut up her womb. v6; And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the Lord had shut up her womb. *My bothers and sisters these are entanglements of the fleshy being. That keeps you being you. 2 Timothy 2:4; No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. v20; But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of the earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. “MEET FOR THE MASTER’S USE, ARE YOU BEING PREPARED?” 1 Samuel 1:7; And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the Lord, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat. v9; So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the Lord. *Church when you begin to be grieved about being shut up in your womb by the Lord, not being able to produce in him. You’ll start coming to the Lord leaving yourself. Eli a high priest in the sanctuary at Shiloh during the period of the judges. 2 Timothy 2:21; If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work. 1 Samuel 1:10; And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the Lord, and wept sore. v11; And she vowed a vow, and said, O Lord of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the Lord all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head. *When enough of you have left. And you really care about being in the Lord. 1 Peter 5:6; Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: v7; Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. *The Lord can open your womb. So you can be productive in him. 1 Samuel 1:17; Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the Gods of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him. *Your work in the Lord cannot be productive, until he open what he shut. Ephesians 2:10; For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.  “MEET FOR THE MASTER’S USE, ARE YOU BEING PREPARED?” Teaching!

“IT’S TIME TO CHOOSE!” Joshua 24:13; And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat. *Choose, a request to make a particular outcome likely. Matthew 6:33; But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be be added unto you. “IT’S TIME TO CHOOSE!” Joshua 24:14; Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord. *Don’t let the God of last season, be your God of this season. Ephesians 2:2-3; v2; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: v3; Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. *But this season, be honest of mind. Ephesians 4:17-24; v17; This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind. v22; That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; v23; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; v24; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. *Remember it can only be one, at a time! Matthew 6:24; No man can serve two masters. “IT’S TIME TO CHOOSE!” Joshua 24:15; And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. *Evil appears when the mind sees double. This is your typical church goer. 2 Kings 17:33; They feared the Lord, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence. v34; Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the Lord, neither do they after their statues, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the Lord commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel. Titus 1:16; They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. *But when you come to grips with righteousness! Psalm 18:18; They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay. *Deal with it!

“THE TRUTH WILL FREE YOU FROM BEING OBLIGATED TO THE FLESH!” Romans 8:8-13; v8; So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. v12; Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. “THE TRUTH WILL FREE YOU FROM BEING OBLIGATED TO THE FLESH!” Joshua 2:10; For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed. *The first step of being not obligated to your flesh. Is believing that makes yourself know. Romans 10:14-17; v14; How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? v17; So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 2 Timothy 3:7; Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. “THE TRUTH WILL FREE YOU FROM BEING OBLIGATED TO THE FLESH!” Joshua 2:11; And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the Lord your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath. *Second stop idol worshipping, idolizing yourself. 1 Corinthians 3:18; Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. “THE TRUTH WILL FREE YOU FROM BEING OBLIGATED TO THE FLESH!” Joshua 2:12; Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the Lord, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my father’s house, and give me a true token: v14; And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the Lord hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee. *Put on a show! 2 Chronicles 7:14; If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. “THE TRUTH WILL FREE YOU FROM BEING OBLIGATED TO THE FLESH!” Joshua 6:17; And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the Lord: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent. *You have to have a heart for it! Hebrews 10:22; Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 2 Corinthians 4:2; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. “THE TRUTH WILL FREE YOU FROM BEING OBLIGATED TO THE FLESH!” The absence of you being obligated!

“HURT TO BE DELIVERED!” Genesis 19:17; And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed. *We are living in a time where church folks don’t want to go through the hurt of leaving themselves!It’s called delivered!1 Corinthians 1:26-29; v26; For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: v29; That no flesh should glory in his presence. “HURT TO BE DELIVERED!” Genesis 19:18; And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord; v19; Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die. *It hurts to leave the way you see yourself. James 1:22-24; v23; For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: v24; For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. Genesis 19:20; Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live. *When there is an absence of being hurt. Your life yet exist. Mark 8:34; And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. v35; For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. “HURT TO BE DELIVERED!” Hebrews 11:24-27; v24; By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; v25; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; v27; By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. *It hurts, but you’ll come down, to be another way. Romans 8:18-21; v18; For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. v21; Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. “HURT TO BE DELIVERED!” 1 Peter 4:1; Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; v2; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. *Hurt, the form of being corrected! Hebrews 12:11; Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. *Hurt, let it bring you down right! 2 Corinthians 4:7-17; v17; For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. “HURT TO BE DELIVERED!” Teaching!

“WHAT GOOD MANNERS DO!” Galatians 2:2-8; v4; And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: v5; To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you. v6; But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man’s person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me. *Being polite in your saying in the Lord, in a building or outside it. Means nothing if you’re acting another way. 1 Corinthians 15:33; Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. Galatians 2:7; But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; v8; (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:) *Good manners in the Lord should take shape within your being. Philippians 2:12; Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Galatians 2:11; But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. v12; For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision. v13; And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. *Having bad manners will cause your being in the Lord not to matter. 1 Corinthians 8:9; But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. Galatians 2:17; But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. v18; For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. *Good manners exist, only if your actions are right. 1 Corinthians 9:27; But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. “WHAT GOOD MANNERS DO!” Acts 17:2; And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures, v3; Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ. *Good manners is the showing of another being. 2 Corinthians 5:17; Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. “WHAT GOOD MANNERS DO!” Luke 8:25; And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him. *Good manners is a show of a product that produce. 1 Timothy 4:8; For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. “WHAT GOOD MANNERS DO!” Teaching!

“REASON FOR EXAMINING YOURSELF!” Lamentations 3:40; Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord. “REASON FOR EXAMINING YOURSELF!” Jude 1:11; Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain. Gone in the way. Genesis 4:3; And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord. Here is a demonstration of attempting to please the Lord, but be yet earthly. Romans 8:5; For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. Genesis 4:5; But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. This exhibit the fall in your walk with the Lord. It shows the word you’re not subject too. Romans 8:7; Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. Genesis 4:6; And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? v7; If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. You can not serve the Lord your way. Romans 6:16; Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? “REASON FOR EXAMINING YOURSELF!” Jude 1:11; Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward. Ran greedily after the error for reward. Numbers 22:7-22; v7; And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak. v9; And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee? This is a run by church folk, with another being trying to change, how your life is defined. Galatians 5:17; For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. Numbers 22:11; Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out. v12; And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed. v16; And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me: v17; For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people. Flesh has a plan, to drive you out of your walk in the Lord, with uncertainty, a wandering which promise has the greatest reward. Colossians 2:18; Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, v19; And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. v20; Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances. “REASON FOR EXAMINING YOURSELF!” Jude 1:11; Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. Perished in the gainsaying. Numbers 16:12; And Moses sent to call Dothan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up. v23; And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, v24; Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. A building contradicting of the word of God. Psalm 127:1; Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Numbers 16:29-32; v32; And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. v33; They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation. When what you say how to live contradict what God says. Romans 10:3; For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. “REASON FOR EXAMINING YOURSELF!” 2 Corinthians 13:5; Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves.

Matthew 26:40; And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? *Being a participant of the word along with participation, is what being whole is made up of.
