What does this mean .
OH LORD give me neither riches nor poverty , lest I become full and deny thee, or lest I steal and take thy name in vain.
STEAL and take they name n vain . Steal and take thy name in vain .
We see where it is written that they could sing praises like david , yet they were not heard , due to it was mouth only and they brought their inquities with them .
So we need to deeply understand this . It is why JESUS says , to those who used his name and did even many wonderful works and cast out demons ,
THAT HE never KNEW THEM and to DEPART workers of inquity . FOR ON HIS DAY , many will hear that .
SO what does to take HIS name in vain really mean . Its like the summation of the lukewarm church.
THEY call upon the name of GOD , they do can even sing praises , but while they call upon Him , they honor other gods , they walk in sin .
All of that is taking the name of the LORD in vain. FOR Stealing is SIN , and Remember JESUS came to set us free FROM SIN , the POWER of Satan
who held us in bondage and captive to sin , THROUGH our flesh .
Many a folk is not understanding this . YOU walk in sin , it simply does not matter , you are taking his name in vain . ITS VAIN , it was never from the HEART .
This is why error must also be corrected when seen in any who does call upon the LORD and yet walks in error.
ALL those letters written in the bible , would really help us , IF we would focus on them and HEED the SPIRIT .
And the apostels and others knew how deadly sin is to the walk . Just look at how pual warned the Corinthians and others .
Look at HOW GOD warned the churches . FIRST saying the good things , BUT NOTICE , an error was spoken against with great gravity FROM GOD .
If folks really knew HOW dangerous sin is , and being lukewarm really is they would flee fast from error , taking heed to the ONE who is able to keep us from falling .
WHICH IS CHRIST . But many pump out a mindset of GOD that focuses on a love not compatible with GOD .
They are not grave about sin and error . THEY are not serious . And they know not HOW MUCH THEY TRULY NEED the SAVOIR who is able to keep us from falling .
Tell folks we cant outsin Gods grace and they just wither away . TELL it like paul did , Let not these things even once be named among you as becomes saints .
Anyone see the difference in THAT . This is why I say read that bible . IN this world and all over the place , all we are seeing , hearing is evil
and what a vexation to the soul . IF WE read the pure words , NOTICE how it sharpens and reminds and polishes the inner being .
We got way too many men and others , teaching way too much of the mixture , which is helping NONE , only doing great harm .
Look at how serious JAMES was too . He even said , If you love your neighbor you fulfill the royal law , HOWEVER if you even have respect of persons
YOU commit SIN . YOU ARE CONVINCED of the LAW as ................................TRANSGRESSORS .
NOT GOOD . NOT GOOOD at all .
VERY SERIOUS they were . VERY SERIOUS INDEED . We need this back. WE NEED THIS BACK . WE TRULY NEED THIS BACK .
And it just seems the longer this world goes on , THE WORSE ITS GETTING and so too as the world are many of the churches .
I am going to put a lil fearful reminder into us today .
Imagine standing on HIS DAY , only to hear , I NEVER KNEW YOU . you just ponder how that would FEEL .
NOW the solution is real simple . For this is not a message of condemnation , BUT A REMINDER to BE YE HOLY as HE IS HOLY .
A reminder to POINT to JESUS who is able to KEEP US FROM FALLING .
A REMINDER to feast on that bible . WE TRULY GOT HOPE N THE LORD. BUT WE BETTER FULLY KNOW ITS THE JESUS OF THAT BIBLE WE ARE FOLLOWING
and not men or our own carnal ideals of what we think jesus is .
