IN NEED, BUT NEVER CONDEMNED

Post date: Jun 12, 2013 8:18:49 AM

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by the renewal of your mind, that ye may prove what is acceptable, and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:1-2 God gave you the mind to produce good things that will benefit you, benefit the people with you and the generations after you. Use your mind for good things, for things that God approves of and things that brings the glory of God and not His wrath. Do not let your needs control you and your actions but let it the word of God that controls you always.

Everyone has a need and everyone’s needs differ, but not everyone is condemned and destroyed by the pressure and pains of their needs. Everyone has a need, but not everyone is under a yoke and a curse because of that need. Everyone has a need and there is no need that is too small or too big, and there is no need that is above the power of the Almighty God to deliver you from and to help you overcome them and lived a fulfilled life.

In a direct test of what he will do in times of need, and knowing what he will become when he follows the Lord’s directives, David said in Psalm 23:1 “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” Showing his dependence on God, that is, despite what his needs will ever be, God will never make him to lack his wants, and his needs will never condemn him in any way, any day and in any circumstances.

You are a direct product of your consistent thoughts and actions despite the good things God had promised you, despite what his words say of you, despite your many days and years of consistent prayers and fasting, and despite the laying of hands and the anointing with oil of the prophets and men of God on you. When you change your thoughts, bringing them totally under the control of the word and promises of God for your life, you will definitely change your entire life for your good, change your circumstances, and life in your expectations.

There are lots of people who are condemning themselves, and spending their days in such state of self-condemnation because of their needs not because they are cursed by their needs, but they personally condemn themselves because of it. Please refuse to condemn yourself because of your needs, refuse to live in self-condemnation despite your needs, though the needs are there and are real, God had not condemned you because of them and will not condemn you. Though you have needs, you are never condemned by them. We read:

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live and walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life which is in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has freed me from the law of sin and of death. For God has done what the Law could not do, [its power] being weakened by the flesh [the entire nature of man without the Holy Spirit]. Sending His own Son in the guise of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, [God] condemned sin in the flesh [subdued, overcame, deprived it of its power over all who accept that sacrifice], So that the righteous and just requirement of the Law might be fully met in us who live and move not in the ways of the flesh but in the ways of the Spirit [our lives governed not by the standards and according to the dictates of the flesh, but controlled by the Holy Spirit]. For those who are according to the flesh and are controlled by its unholy desires set their minds on and pursue those things which gratify the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit and are controlled by the desires of the Spirit set their minds on and seek those things which gratify the Holy Spirit.” Romans 8:1-5. It is true you have needs, but your needs will never condemn you in Jesus Name. You will by God’s grace, overcome such needs and be fully restored. Amen. For Prayers Click here
