Honor or Dishonor

I used to wonder how is it for months and even years there seemed to be an effortless delivery of the Word of God and flow of the Holy Spirit when working with and fellowshiping with certain people

This river would just open up and anointing would pour out and it was great joy.

Then, out of nowhere it is like the fountain was turned off.
I wanted to see the same joy and release but the Holy Spirit was not moving.

I would feel a sour feeling but I couldn't understand why.

Then months later after communication was non existent  the full manifestation would appear and come out of the person.

The spirit of dishonor.

Even though it had not been expressed to me (my soul) my spirit man and definitely the Holy Spirit knew that dishonor was brewing in the heart.

The Holy Spirit is not able to pour into dishonor, usurption, undermining, pride, rebellion etc ... Even if He speaks the hardness of heart and wrong agenda does not let the person receive.
Instead of feeling empowered after speaking with some individuals, I would feel drained.

Once again dishonor.

Dishonor wants what you have but not who you are.
Once it seems you cannot offer what they want, the real manifestation of the heart begins to emerge.

This is what happened to Judas.
In John 6:70 Jesus says have I not chosen you and one of you is a devil?

In the original language it is a progression and literally means one of you is becoming more like the devil.
You did not start off devilish but unfortunately a door was open that allowed a demonic personailty to grow up with you.

Even though the desire of Christ was to impart, teach and develop Judas to be an Apostle, Judas had other ambitions that blinded him to why he was called.
This ambition grew over the coursenof 3 1/2 years until it finally fully manifested at the Passover meal.

Luk 22:3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
Joh 13:2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him
It caused him to dishonor the Lord

John 13:27  And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.

There is a difference between a thought entering into a person and them taking on the embodiment of a spirit.

Judas went from being called as an Apostle to the Lord to being used by the enemy.

He was used to accomplish something that needed to happen but his heart of dishonor cost him his soul.

Dishonor blinds a persons heart from seeing another person for who they are and building genuine relationship.

Pro 30:15 The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things thatare never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough

Once desire is not met the heart grows cold and calloused towards the one they feel did not give them what they deserved.

Christ gave Judas the same power and authority as the other Apostles in Matthew 10:1

He became blinded by his own ambition and derailed his walk with the Lord.

The Love of Christ never changed toward him as he kissed him and called him friend.

Stay true to the Lord Saints and guard  your heart as that will guard your motives.

Why am I doing what I am doing?

Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life

Endorsement

We must guard what we endorse!

To many times we are torn between who a person is and what they do.

We can love a person through and through yet we must make sure we make a clear line of separation between loving a person (as in who they are) and condoning what they do.

All life has value but not everything we do does.

The scripture says we cannot sit at the table of Christ and Belial.
2 Corinthians 6:15

Belial means worthlessness and unyoked.
When a person willingly breaks the Word of God and knows they are breaking it, they are knowingly and willingly casting off restraint.
They are saying that they do not want to be yoked with Christ.
Christ said "My yoke is easy and My burden is light"
Matthew 11:30

This in reference to His Word and Commandments.

1Jn 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous

Grievous means burdensome, weighty, heavy as in something that will weigh us down and cause us to sink.

On the contrary obedience to the Word, unction of the Holy Spirit causes us to rise.

We are not to be involved with conduct that has no worth.

To many times we support people because they have charm, charisma, are funny, gifted, pretty, handsome but they blatantly disrespect the Word of God, the Holy Spirit, the sacrifice of Christ, and the Honor of the Father.
To many times people support someone who is willingly breaking Covenant with God to spare their feelings.
Proverbs 27:6  Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

We as the sons and daughters of God must come to a place where we lovingly let people know we love them, but we will not put our seal of approval on their conduct, actions, or words that are sin that is in direct rebellion with Holiness and Truth.

Paul says 1Ti 5:22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

This has to do with ordaining and commisioning people into ministry, yet we see that because of releasing a person without character, leaders become chargeable.
The person is to be representing Christ but their ways bring reproach and it falls on leaders for launching people to soon. They did not test them in faithfulness, doctrine, word, deed, holiness or fruit.

When we support and endorse that which is condemnable, we do not realize we are participators in their sin and become charged.

So, the next time we go to endorse or support a person, have we shown before the Lord that we approve what He approves and reject what He rejects?

The next time that friend of ours who says they are saved goes ahead against the Word, we need to love them but admonish them that what they are doing is not the Lord.

We must make sure we are not involved with looking like we approve of wrong doing.

2 Timothy 2: 2  And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

In His Love,
Apostle Jesse
