Fixing your Vehicle for the Leader

This simple yet delicate post I am writing right now is all about joy, happiness, and the fact that I see people want to do good in the world yet need a leader to guide them into righteousness. We need a leader because we as mere humans can not know all things to do correctly. If we are going to succeed, really succeed, we need a proper leader to help guide us. There have been many leaders throughout the years, some good, some with great intentions and others were not. Going forward we only need one leader outside of God the Father and that is Jesus. 

     Jesus is the perfect leader for us the people, because he gave his life up for all. He wants to please the Father and do everything in His eyes, so he does not fail or produce bad crops; and because he will never lead people with his selfish intentions. We need a leader as such as Jesus and only Jesus. The Bible says you can not serve two masters. As you will Hate one and love the other. In others words it would equate out because they would against each other and teach two different ways leading to having to only one being the true leader to you. Also its impossible to have two master’s. Its like giving your heart to two different people, one will win out and have your heart and we all know the drama involved with this

     Jesus being my leader is all around a wonderful experience to be a part of (also is a headache because of the world we are in) but I digress. I get so enamored by Jesus, as I praise and worship him and what he has done in a world so washed as we are in. Washed out that is. Not washed clean. Just think if Jesus had flaws he still, through all,  he would go through it all again and again and not want to use others or take advantage of others. What a wonderful soul who truly has earned his victory and rightful place as a leader, which is why he was born into a human world with imperfection and the fact that God turned from him (briefly but still). Just imagine if your Father turned his back on you and you didn't understand why when you was trying to do right all along, cause even if he knew he still must have been in a state of not knowing, if you can understand. 

     However God the Father is wonderful, Jesus is, as well. We need to understand that Jesus is not just all about the good times, he is from His Father and like His Father who is “slow to anger” he is not slow in the fact of how people think but none the less it will come a day where he has to step up to Judge the world and peoples actions how they live here on earth. So its best we understand that some verses in the Bible ring true but still have accomplices. Like for example John 3:16 only works with verse James 2:14-26. 

• For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life

• 14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

• 18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without [a]your works, and I will show you my faith by [b]my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is [c]dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made [d]perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was [e]accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

(I will do a complete article on this topic but the above says it so perfectly to me.)

    Jesus deserves to be our leader as  Jesus wants all saved and to have repentance/to show remorse and change your ways. You can not repent if you do not change your ways; because that means you are not transformed and truely washed clean from that such issue, what ever it may be. In doing so you make way for a fully transformed you. Its like fixing one part of your car at at time, the car being your earthy body. And the driver is your soul(which is your spirit) you let a passenger come in when you accept Jesus and the holy spirit in, so they are telling you you need to change this part of your vehicle, and then once that is done that part is brand new; you never have to replace it again now that you have Jesus. But then you have to replace all your parts to fit this new way and once you do you will not need to repent your change any parts because you are forever fixed/set! This is repentance to a transformed still you, you.

  I hope we can choose just Jesus as our leader! I pray we can update our parts on our own with Jesus as our leader, because we will never steer you wrong, I promise. Even when things look horrible to a follower of Jesus, to death even, It will be worth it in the end. Always. There is so much we can not see and we need to have Faith that Jesus can and is looking out for you!

***2 Peter 3:9 : "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance"

***Nehemiah 9:17  They refused to obey and were not mindful of the wonders that you performed among them, but they stiffened their neck and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt. But you are a God ready to forgive, gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and did not forsake them. 

 ( In the Bible, Egypt is also used as a metaphor for the world, the flesh, and the devil—a place of bondage from which God delivers His people.)

When God turned His back on Jesus is Matthew 27:46 (and Mark 15:34), where Jesus cries out from the cross, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" 

(Jesus took sin of world so by God own standard He had to turn from him)

*** “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”

*** "Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income."   (money symbolizes perceived value)
