Pleasing Man Or God Through The Leading Of His Spirit

Who are you trying to please?
Before our Lord's cruification there was a choice to be made, to please men or to choose the
truth and listen to God.
Before the cruification of Jesus, Christ was brought before Pilate, a King, which had power to put Christ our Lord to death or all power to release him.
Pilate sought the people to release Jesus, saying unto them I find no fault in the man.

John 19:12
And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out,
saying If thou let this man go, thou are not Caesar's friend: Whosoever maketh
himself a King speaketh against Caesar.

So Pilate therefore worried about what man's opinion was and delivered Jesus unto them to
be cruified.
Even in past times, people feared what man would do or what man thought more than taking
a stand on what they knew to be true. ( God )
Wanting to be liked and respected of man no matter the cost.
So many wrongs done against what is right just to feel as though we are accepted.
We refuse to make our stand for our Precious Lord because we are scared of the rejection of people, but we need to understand that when we do these things that we know in our hearts are not right, we sin against God, we begin to fall away, little by little.
We sometimes find ourselves intimidated by men and we hide our light before them, we let fear
enter in, fear of conflict.
We feel like our strength is gone and our words fail us, we revert back to our old nature.
Taking our stand for CHRIST JESUS is not always easy ( but it is worth it.)
Where would you or I be if someone had not taken a stand ?That we might know of the love and mercy of Jesus.
The fear that tries to overtake us is nothing more than Satan trying to make you feel powerless.

Hebrews 6:10
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love,
which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

If we must fear, than fear what will happen to the souls of people, they will be forever lost if
we do not stand and proclaim the Good News Of The Gospel " Jesus Christ" The Savior
Of The World..........................................
We are weak within ourselves but we have strength from our Lord, His Holy Spirit
living within us ( God's Children )

1 John 4:4
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them:
because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Hebrews 13:6
So that we may boldly say.
THE LORD IS MY HELPER, AND I WILL NOT FEAR WHAT MAN SHALL DO UNTO ME.

We need to stop trying to fit in with a world of darkness and stop compromising our beliefs and
not worry whether man is on our side or worrying about the friends we think we may lose, because if we truly love and care about them, we will take our stand in Christ and if we are hated
for it count it all glory for God.
The world hated our Lord also and we are no better than out Savior.

Romans 8:31
What shall we then say to these things?
If God be for us, who can be against us?

If you gain the respect of the world and let Christ be hidden and they glorify you
rather than Jesus, What is it all for?

Luke 9:25
For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

Lets take a lesson from Pilate, and not worry about what people will think about
us , God will lead you in all things and give unto you the right words to speak.
Let the world hear and know, This is indeed THE TRUE SON OF GOD, THE LIVING GOD TO WHOM YOU WILL SERVE AND WHOM YOU DO BELONG TO AND TO WHOM YOU WILL MAKE YOUR STAND........
Lets love the Lord with all our hearts, and share his love to the world.
Who will work the harvest?
Will you do the work of you Father?
If you are willing God is able.
I pray Lord send me, make me a laborer for You.
