A PERFECT WORK…
 
REVELATION 3:1
….FOR I HAVE NOT FOUND THY WORKS PERFECT BEFORE GOD.
 
HEB 13:21
NOW THE GOD OF PEACE, THAT BROUGHT AGAIN FROM THE DEAD OUR LORD JESUS, THAT GREAT SHEPHARD OF THE SHEEP, THROUGH THE BLOOD OF THE EVERLASTING COVENANT.
MAKE YOU PERFECT IN EVERY GOOD WORK TO DO HIS WILL, WORKING IN YOU THAT WHICH IS WELL- PLEASING IN HIS SIGHT, THROUGH CHRIST JESUS, TO WHOM BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN.
THE WORD TELLS US THAT A PERFECT WORK IS REQUIRED. HOWEVER, CHRIST BY HIS HOLY SPIRIT IS THE AUTHOR OF THE PERFECT WORK. HE GIVES THE INCREASE. HOW DO WE HAVE A PERFECT WORK IF WE DON’T YIELD COMPLETELY TO THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST. HOW CAN WE CALL WHAT WE DO HOLY IF WE ARE QUENCHING AND GRIEVING THE HOLY SPIRIT? WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN TO QUENCH? WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN TO GRIEVE? THEN IN SOME PLACES WHEN HIGH PRAISE COME OR GOOD PREACHING THEY SAY, “THAT’S WAS AWESOME, THE SPIRIT SHOWED UP!” BUT IT WAS MERELY A FORM OF GODLINESS BECAUSE FLESH IS IN THE WAY WITH IT’S OWN AGENDA MOST TIMES AND WE CAN BY NO MEANS GLORIFY GOD IN A PERFECT WORK WHILE FLESH IS PRESENT. HIS GLORY HE WILL NOT GIVE TO ANOTHER. AS A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO REVERENCE THE SPIRIT OF GOD AND SANCTIFY A PLACE WHICH REALLY IS HOLY…FOXES HAVE HOLES AND BIRDS HAVE NEST, YET THE SON OF MAN HAVE NOWHERE TO LAY HIS HEAD…IS THERE REALLY ROOM FOR THE TRUE AND LIVING GOD TO DO A PERFECT WORK IN YOUR ATMOSPHERE? WE CAN STILL STAND FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. THE LORD IS LONGSUFFERING WITH HIS PEOPLE ON THE SIDELINES FOR US TO GET OUT OF OURSELVES AND ALLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT TO DO THE WORK. NO MORE LIP SERVICE. WE MUST STOP RATIONALIZING AND GIVING EXCUSES FOR SHORT COMINGS, DO OUR JOB, AND LET THE SPIRIT OF GOD DO HIS.
