When we first come to God and accept Jesus Christ we are truly like little children interacting with their Father for the first time. We have such a zeal and love for God that we just want to help where and when ever we can. It is like a father who has a young son and the son is finally old enough to work on the car with the father. As the Father is working on the car the son is excited to hand the father a screw driver and even though the father knows he doesn’t need it or that he may not need it at that time, he accepts it because he knows that the son is trying to please him and wants to do a good thing. God is truly rich in mercy as we start this journey with him. Then our Heavenly Father desires us to mature in His Word and in His Will. At some point God wishes for us to be in tune with the Holy Spirit to do the “God things” and not the “good things”. There are many acts we perform inside and outside the church which are good but they are not God. In order to have works that will not burn under the fire (as they will all be tested) they must be; in God’s Will (Desire), under God’s Unction (Motivation), with God’s Spirit (Execution), and in God’s Timing (Provision), so that whomever witnesses the work never see you but gives God the Glory. We should see our lives as cloths and we only have animation to do “works” when God desires to put us on and move!!! Are you laboring in a “Good Thing” or a “God Thing”??? Please Discern the Difference!!! Have a wonderful life of Labor on purpose!!!!!
John 12
44Then Jesus cried out, "When a man believes in me, he does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. 45When he looks at me, he sees the one who sent me. 46I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.
47"As for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it. 48There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day. 49For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it. 50I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say."
Acts 17
24"The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. 25And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. 26From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. 27God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. 28'For in him we live and move and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.'
29"Therefore since we are God's offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by man's design and skill. 30In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. 31For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead."
