Topic: "When you come to me" Psalms 101:2
Galatians 5:17 says, "For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit ..." If you satisfy the desires of the flesh you live against the Spirit and thus you cannot achieve and accomplish what we have been called to do. Flesh and Spirit do not get along even if pretend to unite them; you must know that they do "not" get along. The flesh has its work and that is: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, strife, anger, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like this. Galatians 5:19-21 Something we should know is that WE NEVER PRAISE THE LORD BETTER THAN WHEN WE DO THE THINGS THAT ARE PLEASANT TO HIS EYES. It's something that we should know in this life as believers. It is known if the Spirit is in one because it bears fruit of: LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS, SELF-CONTROL. Galatians 5: 22, 23. "... Against such things there is no law." There is no law because for someone like this the law it is not necessary, as the Word says: "I will understand the way of perfection when you come to me." Psalm 101:2 AND HE ARRIVED! We know that when we are called it is that God IS WITH US, HE IS WITH US. We cannot err in judgment of things nor will we transgress or act against the laws of the Lord with our behavior because we are IN HIM. HIS PRESENCE brings us wisdom, holiness! Perfect is everyone who has all the desirable and impeccable qualities. Perfection, there is the one God calls. If you doubt this you surely live in the things of the flesh. God calls Abraham with 99 years old (Genesis 17:1-2 "Abram was ninety-nine years old when the Lord appeared to him and said, I am God Almighty; walk before me and be blameless. I will confirm my covenant between me and you and will multiply you exceedingly. Abram fell on his face ..."). To prostrate on his face is a sign of humility. Abraham did not presume. The glory of God was particularly directed to him. Thus is with those who meet God: they see His glory, they prostrate, they cannot maintain haughtiness and they fall on their knees with their face on the ground. It is to become PERFECT! Matthew 5:48 "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." The exemplary father is best for a child to imitate him. Our Father is perfect and is whom we should imitate. Our duty is to aspire to perfection in grace and holiness. If we live in the Spirit we are in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance. Otherwise, you have things such as fornication, hatred, discord, jealousy, anger, dissensions, envy, etc.; well it seems that God has not arrived and you have not understood that it is not until He comes to you that “you will understand the way of perfection."
Every human being has to present himself perfect in Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:28 "...whom we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present all men perfect in Christ.") This way of the gospel of the Lord is "admonishing" every man and teaching every man in all wisdom in order to present them perfect in Christ. It is to secure convictions in his mind: to live in love joy, peace...; in all wisdom. The gospel offers all genuine wisdom, true and perfect. That preparation is not improvised in a moment but rather it requires continuous progress, which takes place in the believer who is maturing and becoming an adult spiritually. The apathy of some towards prayer, to congregate and their indifference wonders me. Their infirmities, greed and long hours spent on chatting and talking nonsense are greater than God, while God prepares the best for them. Hebrews 6: 1 "Therefore, leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on to perfection ..." You can remember the first. The first lessons are: when it is believed by faith for salvation, the baptism, the offerings and tithing, to congregate, etc. And all that is the proper. But, now you have to be willing to know that you should be perfect. It is no longer to do as you want, or think like a child in the faith saying: "I fall and I get up and continue little by little." It is now: That you should love TO BE PERFECT! Let go of the milk as a kid and feed yourself with solid food so that you could become robust and strong for what you are called to do. We need to explain and explain to the children, but when we have grown and are already adults we are perfect and we should know everything. Enough of spiritual childhood, when there is mockery and shortage of little perfection is revealed. Christianity represents the full growth. You have already grown and there is a foundation, now: reach out for perfection! Build on that foundation! Let go of the proper of a child and be perfect! James 1: 4 "But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may BE PERFECT AND COMPLETE NOT LACKING ANYTHING." Learn patience in what you live, do not run, do not live like there are no struggles and trials; live what is necessary for you to live. Learn patience this way for the various trials. For the Father there are no trials too big, that is if we learn from our sufferings. If the trials are removed or not, well amen! We can acknowledge the God who carries out everything. The reason for such great treatment is how God leads us to perfection. We have to learn patience through trials and difficulties, that is how we become perfect and with a right mind (correct, complete) and will lack nothing. We are not a sack of insecurities, or of whining, or shouting, or silliness; let us be perfect and we will know what we have to do. "I will understand the way of PERFECTION when you come to me." Psalm 101:2 And he arrived! Amen.
