“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. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? “REASON FOR EXAMINING YOURSELF!” Teaching! Overseer/Apostle
