Examine Myself

At first I was using the words our, we, us, you, your, and yourself, but I am going to exchange those words for words to I, me, my and myself because it is about me. Not because I am anybody more special, but because I am accountable for myself and my relationship with Christ. I can't save myself much less someone else. You can read this and take it personal for yourself. But I can't speak for you.


After watching the video Examine Yourself by Paul Washer I took a long hard look at myself and realized that I wasn't doing everything I needed to do to Glorify God and be an example of His Character, not my character.  I am suppose to be a witness to others to show His Character with ways of a new birth in Christ. Not my old wicked ways of Lucifer.  Some may not realize it but God is being Judged Daily. People are watching Him  through my Actions and Daily living. I could be the only Bible someone sees to bring them closer to God.


Lucifer wanted to be just like the Most High. But if he really understood what it was to be like God he would of understood that he didn't have to compete with God. All he had to do was to love and that would of been "Like The Most High" Lucifer didn't understand how close he was to being "Like The Most High"


Isaiah 14:12-14   How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!  For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.


Lucifer  (light-bearer) had an "I" (eye) problem and wasn't looking through God's loving, caring eyes. God is love, merciful, forgiving, caring, understanding, long-suffering (having or showing patience in spite of troubles) and yes a servant. Does He not serve by taking care of me, seeing to my needs, being there for me at my beckon calls. Lucifer  misrepresented  who God really was (and still is) and took one third of the angels.


If Lucifer had realized what that really meant to be Like The Most High, he would of been more like God's Character and would not of  envied God. He would of been a loving and caring angel and "Like The Most High". 


I Claim Christ's name when I say I am a Christian which means I have claim His Character. I know that is a tall order for me to claim but with God all things are possible. All I have to do is claim His promises and give Him myself and everything I own. He was the one who gave them to me even my life. Now I have to give back the broken pieces of my life for Him to fix and protect.
