Disqualified

Our limitations have been interwoven into our thinking.  Fear, uncertainty, and doubt are the biggest hindrances to us completing the “book” which has been written about us by FATHER.  How do we deal with fear?  The Beloved Disciple recorded by The Holy Spirit in 1 John chapter 4:

17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of  judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 19 We love Him because He first loved us.

The same life-giving power which raised Jesus from the dead is in us.  Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

Our mindset must be changed and brought into full agreement with The Word.  Many want to be known as Sons of GOD but if their mindset has the world interwoven in their thinking, they are not qualified to be Sons.  We must put on the Mind of Christ and take on the same ministry as Him.  We must walk in the same manner as Jesus and have the same priorities He displayed during His earthly ministry.  Our life should not reflect a passive consumption of Biblical studies without any visible fruit.  Our actions should reflect our revelation.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians chapter 9:

27   But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

Yes, you can be disqualified by failing to bring your soul and body into subjection.  If you are not truly Spirit-led, you are disqualified from the reward of being a Son.

In 2 Corinthians chapter 13:

5 Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified. 6 But I trust that you will know that we are not disqualified.

We must not take on a reckless attitude because some preacher has proclaimed us to be included in the Sons of GOD group.  The path is straight and narrow thus not all will enter in.  Only those who take on the Mind of Christ and are led by The Holy Spirit continue to be qualified.  If Paul could be disqualified, then you and I can be disqualified.  I am “all in”, what about you?

The Holy Spirit tells us the difference between Sons of Our Heavenly Father and sons of the evil one in 1 John chapter 3:

10 Here is how God’s children can be clearly distinguished from the children of the Evil One. Anyone who does not demonstrate righteousness and show love to fellow believers is not living with God as his source.  TPT

Without Love, you will be disqualified so I strongly urge you to focus on Agape Love and Its fruit.  The good news is that when we receive The Word and repent, we can become “re-qualified”.  Let us not be passive in this critical area.
