Which Jesus do you follow?

 

Which Jesus do you follow?

This Saturday at the Rock of York we had a fabulous teaching from Anthony Chapman. You can find him on twitter at (@rockkiltlifter) To listen to Saturday's message follow this link: (http://www.rockchurch.org.uk/media/detail.asp?ID=242#)

 

There are two Jesus's the one of Abba daddy God or the domesticated Jesus the Jesus we like to shape and mould to be how we want him to be. Stop house training Jesus to not make a mess. Jesus will make a mess in your life but he will mess it up in a real good way. The Pharisees or shall we call them the religious crowd the ones who wanted the messiah. When he actually turned up on the scene they didn't want Jesus they wanted rid of him because he didn't fit the mould or shape they wanted Jesus to be.

Do you have room for the real Jesus?

He will mess up our lives in a real good way your heart connected to his, a relationship with him. Jesus says to people, follow me. Follow me means on the move the are always going somewhere so if your going to follow him you got to be willing to change and become. If you want to follow the real Jesus change has to come about you can not stay where your are or who you are. If you leave where and who you are Jesus will make you. Make you into the person you were made to be. He speaks to you for who you are the need is to follow him. Be willing to follow the Jesus of Abba daddy God not the house trained Jesus. We have become the people Jesus didn't want to be with the people who thought they had it all together just be willing and open. We become the religious crowd and don't want the Jesus of the gospels we want the house trained Jesus stop selling the unreal Jesus. We act like the religious crowd we contend with Jesus we need to deal with our Jesus and work with him. We are so immature lets grow up I don't want to follow a fake Jesus I want the Jesus of Abba.

 

Are you willing to leave the state your in and follow the Jesus of Abba.People need to be willing and hear the sound that connects you at heart level just you and Jesus. Live from the heart do it and your life gets sorted.If you here the sound he will make you stop trying to work things out. Be willing to crucify your Jesus and follow the Jesus of Abba. Don't let him be a religious icon just let him free in your heart God by the spirit wants to set us free.

 

 

There is a time and a season for everything

This Saturday at the Rock of York we had Anthony Chapman speak a fruity message. Anth is available on twitter at (@rockkiltlifter) To listen to Saturday's message follow the link-------> (http://www.rockchurch.org.uk/media/detail.asp?ID=240)

If you do the right things at the wrong time we get straggly bits that are not fruit bearing. But take life from the root from our heart and stop us from growing. Do you get a deep seated resentment for someone because of the straggly bits in your life not everything in life is their for us to be happy. If we ignore the straggly bits it will compromise our fruitfulness and stop us from growing and bearing fruit. There is a time and a season for everything under heaven. There is a time and a season for us to be pruned and for us to bear fruit. God prunes all our straggly bits he cuts away all the dead bits to let us grow. It is a process of making us smaller to make us into something bigger.Fruit is connected to root the straggly bits need to be cut of for our benefit to grow and bear fruit. Your blessedness is being compromised stop standing in front of sinners become friends because we can be pruned.

 

Don't compromise our blessedness there is a time and a season for everything. You are able to recognise the seasons to be pruned and the seasons to be blessed. The straggly bits need cutting up stop not listening and stop closing your eyes. Just be willing open your heart to God and just say I'm am willing to be pruned. God speaks much louder than an audible voice. Let people stretch your love. There is a time and a season for everything if you realise this you can grow and bear the fruits of the spirit. God loves you in all your stuff so just be willing. There is a time and season for everything don't miss your time, don't miss your season and don't miss your time to be pruned or you will mess up your fruitfulness if you do. Take care of business or your fruitfulness and blessedness will be compromised. We fight we don't want to get smaller to be bigger we keep wrestling and fighting with God. The things that offend us the most are to do with god more than the devil.There is a time and a season for everything and in acknowledgment in those things it is revealing. We let him love and prune us it makes us bigger and does not compromise our fruitfulness.

Stop pretending, and let soemthing real and good grow.Take a little time soon to identify and clear out the stragly bits in your life.

Let those fruits grow. Fruits of: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
