Doing The Right Thing the Wrong Way



Doing The Right Thing the Wrong Way

Matthew 20:20-

Motivation: it’s important that we go after and achieve our dreams. To just exist is just a waste of days. Every day God gives you is an opportunity to manifest the dream He’s placed inside of you. No matter how diverse the placing is you need to bring out every creative gift He has placed inside of you. To maximize your potential is to minimizing your liabilities. We need to focus on our objectives and move progressively forward. I want to be motivational because it has taken motivation to move me from where I was to where I am now. From the struggles and chaos and the many woundings of life and the many odious remarks that have been said against me from childhood on I had to rise up above those circumstances and build upon what God placed in my spirit.

Motives: Beyond the word motivate is the root word motives. I find that you cannot move people beyond their motives. Motives require that you have the audacity to confront yourself. Examine yourself and ask yourself why do I do what I do. Ask yourself are my motives in the right place. I’m convinced that we spend too much time trying to examine the motives of other people in so much that we don’t examine ourselves. We spend a lot of our lives trying to change the minds of people about us. Our goals in life become tainted by the need to prove ourselves to people who have tried to assassinate our character. When in reality people are going to think about you whatever they want to think. You have to become comfortable that there are going to be adverse opinions about you in your life. So stop trying to change somebody’s mind about you. Just know that God will bless you in the midst of your enemies. You can be like Christ, a root springing up out of dry ground. Your environment doesn’t have to be conducive to your development.

We spend too much time waiting for the right atmosphere and environment to be right to do what God has called us to do. You must look inside of you. we spend the vast majority of our time praying about external things. While the things we do merit much prayer sometimes. The greater challenge is pryaing about why we do the things we do. The Bible says in Hebrews 7:1 having these great and mighty promises let us cleanse ourselves from the filthiness of the flesh and of the spirit. In the church we often talk about the sins of the flesh but very seldom talk about the sins of the spirit. We don’t care if you are right as long as you look and act right. You can have all of the outer extremities right and still be frustrated and sick inside. The greatest enemy is in me. Its very difficult to confront yourself because you cant escape yourself. you cant expect anyone else to live you when you don’t love you. no one will appreciate who you are until you appreciate who you are.

Sometimes we just need a makeover, not one on the outside but in my spirit, personality, attitude. Fix me up in places people don’t even recognize. We should pray Lord get my heart right. Even if no one notices a change outwardly. We can function right outside but be full of hatred, envy, malice, and bitterness, strife, jealousy, pride and contention.

Spiritual Makeover

You can look right and do everything right outside but miserable inside. When a bomb detonates it doesn’t detonate because of what’s on the outside. It goes off because of what’s on the inside. You can paint it however you want on the outside but it wont stop the bomb from detonating. People are in here today on the verge of exploding; full of trauma and inner turmoil. People think they know you but they don’t have a clue. Some of you have been waiting for prince charming to come and make everything better. You dropped your handkerchief down the proverbial window waiting for the perfect man or situation to come your way. You thought if you did everything by the book and plumbed the line perfect that God would send you someone without flaws to rescue you from yourself. at the risk of getting on your nerves I am compelled to tell you that no one is coming to get your handkerchief. Get your own handkerchief and work on you if no one else does.

Sometimes your makeover cant be seen by human eyes. But the change you need is inside and as long as you can go to bed at night loving yourself. you can look at yourself in the mirror and like what you see. As long as your heart is pure and you know in yourself that you are positioned in right standings with God. You should pray God help me with me. Im through blaming other people. Im through spending the rest of my life comparing everyone in my future to the one who hurt me in my past. I refuse to let my history destroy my destiny.

It’s a tremendous opportunity for us to be able to worship Him this way. We serve a mighty God and He is seeking a worshipper so He can bless their socks off. Im talking about Jesus…..He is Marys baby, seed of Abraham, root of Jesse, Ezekiel wheel, davids star, ruths kinsman redeemer, prophet of moses, rock in wilderness, joy in sorrow, peace in confusion, hope in ages past, fortress, shield, buckler, wave offering, drink, meal, feast of taber, unleavened bread, Passover lambe, barley loaves, sacrifice for my sins, deliverer, propitiator, daystar, peace, trumpet, mighty God, everlasting Father, prince of peace, etc.

No matter where you are you can call Him and He’ll be right there. He will be whatever you need Him to be.

She Came To Jesus

This woman came to Jesus with her two sons. They were the sons of Zebedee. He was fluent and the CEO of a fishing company. She was the first lady of the corporation and she still had to come to Jesus. I came to Jesus as I was I was weary wounded and sad but I found in Him a resting place and He has made me glad. I may have been all the things you said I was but I came to Jesus. She knew something about Jesus and what it took to tap into His miracle working power. God loves a worshipper, He seeks a worshipper. God loves worshippers so much so that when Hezekiahs time had come to die and Isaiah the prophet came to pronounce judmgnet on his life. Hezekiah began to talk about all of the works he had done and how he kept the law but the judgment was still decreed. But then he turned his face to the wall and said Lord the grave cant praise you. God said if you’re going to praise me I’ll add 15 years to your life. If you worshipping God correctly He will restore you.

Manipulation

Maybe she had seen the caananite woman worship, or the woman who had a daughter who was greviously vexed with a devil worship Him, or maybe the man at the tomb of gaderenes worshipped Him. So maybe she knew what she needed to do to get what she wanted from Him. Its dangerous for people to think they know what you need. They will give you what you need but they wont mean it. They will do the right thing but for the wrong reason. They will playcate you and give you what they think you want or need for a season. They wont do it long because their motives aren’t pure. So she worshipped Him but she couldn’t do it long before she said now you see them two boys over there…..likewise.

There is a spirit of manipulation that has hit our lives. We become dangerous because we give God worship but He’s got to give us something. Once you realize how any system works if you are a manipulator you will scheme your way into it. People have figured out the system of the church so they still come but they have a hidden agenda. They come into worship services and serve as a form of worship but they don’t worship. Some of you have never done anything unless you are going to get something in return. Once people learn what you need they know how to go through the motions. The only person a manipulator likes is someone they can manipulate.

Hallf of the things that pass for worship isn’t really worship in the church. If real worship hit the church no one could perform their function (deacons, ushers, singers) because of the awesomeness of the presence of God. Praise thanks God for what He’s done. Worship thanks God for who He is. If I don’t have any of the things I praise you for I worship you for who you are. You don’t have to perform or impress me. Just because you’re God you mean so much to me. I’ll tear up my face, shake down my hair, mess up my suit. Because your presence, love, joy, peace, is so valuable I just want to be in your presence.

Manipulators do the right thing for the wrong reason. Their agenda starts to come out after a while. Your hidden agenda will always come out if you’re here for the wrong reason. Manipulators always try to bypass the process for progress. But there are no short cuts in God. People always want a double portion of your spirit for selfish reasons. They want the short version of the anointing. But they need to stop tripping. There are no short cuts to success. You’ve go to to through your go through. If you don’t study you wont understand it, if you don’t pray you wont have power, no matter how many hands get laid on you, there is no manipulative move to get to God. You must come in at the door.

There are some manipulators that despise you and send out spirits on you every chance they get. They can be feeding you the whole time hoping you choke off of your food. But all manipulators aren’t evil some are just misguided. If you let people just keep talking you will hear what is on their heart by the words that come out of their mouths. They cant help but to say what they really feel about you.

Worship Him

Stop worshipping God with secret motives. But start worshipping God because He’s worthy, a waymaker, deliver, a healer, and mighty. Jesus said can you stand to be baptized with the baptism im baptized with. Hes not talking about water. Hes talking about what water is a picture of. It is a metaphorical illustration of the death, burial, resurrection of our Lord. He’s saying woman you’re tyring to get your sons to reign with me when they haven’t suffered with me. Don’t let anybody reign with you if they haven’t suffered with you. I know people have told you that you wont have any trouble in your life but the Bible says they that live godly shall suffer persecution. No matter how much you pray, read, fast and meditate you will have to go through sometimes. You wont have any power if you never go through anything. but after you’ve suffered awhile God will stablish you and make you perfect.

Stop trying to short cut and jimmy the lock but press your way through it. God cant bless you till you learn how to press your way through it. Press through it don’t stop in it. You’ve got to learn to praise Him even in the middle of a press.

Even if help don’t come I will bless the Lord at all times. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. Don’t panic or be histerical. He may not come when you want Him but Hes right on time. He knows what Hes doing. Stop manipulating and let God arise. Manipulation is born out of bitterness who feel like you gave up so much and got back so little. But nobody in here gave up as much as God gave up to get you. John 3:16. if you could just stay with God even when it doesn’t seem fair or your life is working out. Just stay with God and He will make a way out of no way. Never let the devil see you sweat or he will send a spirit of manipulation on you. but while other people are tying to manipulate you just worship God in spirit and in truth. For the Lord saw a woman at the well and He told her the Lord is a spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. There are a whole lot of people here but only a few worshippers. If the true worshippers would stand up and give God some real worship for being a wonder in their soul we could change this atmosphere. The power of God would enter into this room and the shekinah glory will fall heavyin here. Worship Him for staying with youwhen everybody elseleft. For keeping my children. For keeping me from losing my mind. For my salvation. For His plans. For He never left me. He is God all by Himself. I’ve fallen in love with Jesus. I love Him, His word, His name, touch, voice, who He is. He rides to work with me, kept my secrets. Lifted my mind. Healed my body. Worship Him with no hidden agendas, just let go and let God.
