RESPONSE-ABILITY

Do not run
Do not hide
It’s time to take
response-ability.

You can hide behind
excuses and blame,
but it will not do you any good
because I have X-Ray vision.

Your shame reaction
to a sinful choice
will not hold up in court.
You can drape reasons
over yourself,
but these metaphorical
fig leaves
will not work.
I have X-ray vision
and I can see
right through them.

And you can
point your finger
at another man,
but that response
will not stand.

I will ask YOU
what you how you responded,
despite other peoples' actions.

Think about this:
Has your anger
driven you to sin?
Has your envy
created back-biting gossip?
Has your jealousy
caused covetousness?
Has your resentment
caused slanderous talk?
Has your pride
caused you to blame,
instead of moving on
and forgiving them?
Has your guilt
led you to lie?
Has your shame
caused you to hide
behind even more
foolish actions?
Has your greed
filled your heart with lust?
Do you struggle with
“I need more of this!”
Has a murderous thought
come into your heart?
Have you developed
roots of bitterness?
Has rejection
set you apart?
Have you withdrawn
and given up on people,
or yourself?
Has your depression
caused you to give up hope,
despite knowing that I am good?
Has control taken over you?
Have you held onto anxiety
instead of keeping My peace?

Do you feel any of this?
What is your response- ability?
And this is just one list
of human-centered feelings,
get ready to hear the list
of human-centered thoughts!

“I can’t. I am dumb.”
“I hate them because they don’t love.”
“Nothing ever works out for me.”
“God must not hear me.”
“There’s no point in even trying.”
“Everybody has it better than me.”
“This will last for eternity.”
“I have no choice but to give up on me.”

These are ALL 
thoughts of pride,
although internalized.

This is where human thoughts go,
when humans are placed
at the center of their world.

Humanism is an outlook
or system of thought
attaching prime importance
to the human
rather than a divine entity
known as God.
Humans are put
at the center of their world,
and they become the main character
of their show.
They believe
in their own potential,
instead of relying
solely on God;
and they seek secular ways
to solve human problems.

But the Bible says,
The human heart
is easily deceived,
and the human mind
is subject to sinful intent.
This is because
the spirit is dead,
and without God,
humans live
according to the soul
and the flesh.
But when
we accept Jesus,
the Lord gives us
His blessing back.
And when
the Holy Spirit
lives in us,
we are no longer
slaves to sin.

Jesus is the WORD of God -
and He is the one
who blesses and curses.
"I lay before you
life and death,
choose life so that you
and your descendants may live." 

The day is coming
when you will have to
take the stand -
you must decide
if you will stand
on the WORD of God.

This is why you must forgive,
and this is why you must choose love.

This is why you must repent,
and this is why you must come back.

This is why you must listen to Him,
because the Holy Spirit
will give you strength.

He will develop
a God-centered conscience
to help you overcome
your human-centered-ness.

He is the Spirit of Truth,
and has declared,
“Whosoever believes in Me
shall have eternal life.”

His blood covers a multitude of sin,
that is why He is wringing out His remnant.

Holy Spirit
leads you through
the Valley of the Shadow of Death
where Satan attacks you.
His rod and His staff
will comfort you -
and you will fear no evil.
He has prepared a table for you,
in the presence of your enemies,
and He has anointed you
with His oil, the Spirit of Truth.
His goodness and mercy
shall follow you,
all the days of your life, 
and you will dwell
in the house of the Lord,
forever and ever more.
 
There is no human
who can hide away
from the response-ability
He has placed upon them.

Everyone is accountable to Him.
Everyone will stand in His courtroom.
Everyone will face this righteous judge,
and everyone will receive a final judgment.

God has set an appointed time
for every person to appear
in the Heavenly court.
The day of judgment
is coming soon,
so decide for yourself
what you will choose.

Will you overcome the world
by the blood of the lamb?
Or will you spew up
a false testimony?

Whose banner will you raise?
Does it say “Jesus is King”
or
“I am a the king of my own humanity?”

Every heart is marked
with a permanent certificate of birth.
And when He takes the census
He will be looking
for those names
who are written
into the Book of Life.

I hear the Lord say,
"My judgement is coming soon."
"I endured a terrible baptism for you."
"Now what will you do?"
"Will you pledge your allegiance to Me?"
"Do you believe that I came to redeem you?"
"Do you understand how much I love you?"
"Do you realize that you were cursed,
until I reversed it back into the blessing?"
"It is by my mercy and grace,
that I have saved you from eternal death."

"Now everything comes down
to your response-ability!"

I hear the Lord say, 
"My Children,
pay attention and listen to Me.
Bow your heads
in reverence to Me.
Seek My face
with every choice;
die to self
and lay your life down.
Judgment Day
is coming soon,
and you accuser has been
invited as well.
Do not worry about anything
because I am the lamb
who has overcome him.
Death passes over my  blood 
located on the doorposts
of the human heart,
at least for the ones
who eat the whole lamb
and swallow all of it’s parts.
My blood covers Him,
as he walks faithfully,
even in doubt.
And my cloud and fire
comes day and night,
to guide him into the promised land.
The Land of Milk and Honey
is waiting for them,
as the run the race
on the Highway to Heaven."

So I ask -
Are you a true witness for Jesus?
Do you believe He is the Son of God?
Remember, He has X-ray vision,
and He can see the intent of your heart.
So be honest with yourself,
determine if you have exposed
every hidden thing?
There is no condemnation
for anyone who comes freely,
there is only
a transformation
of the enduring heart.

Do not hold anything back.
Do not blasphemy the Holy Spirit.
Do you want more of Him, 
or do you want more of yourself?

You will need to lay everything down,
including your human-centered
thoughts and feelings.

Are you ready to unveil yourself?
Are you ready for God to search you?
Are you ready to be transformed,
by the renewing of your mind?

Every human has a response-ability.
Everyone will be judged justly
for the choice they make.

​What will you do?
