Chapter 6: The Heart of an Apostle

Page 13

Those with the heart of an apostle respect the words of Christ and

“take them to heart.” The heart of an apostle understands that Jesus Christ spoke directly for God and said only what God told him to say. Further, they understand that Christ only did what God told him to do. To deny the words and deeds of Jesus Christ is to deny God Almighty Himself. It is the

work of the Antichrist that alters the plain words of Christ in Christianity.

Apostles don’t try to explain away Christ’s words and in the process make Christ a liar. Either what the Apostle Jesus Christ told us is truth or it

isn’t. The words of Jesus cannot simply be dismissed because they run counter to any man made Christian doctrine or theology. Any doctrine or theology that has the effect of negating the words of Jesus Christ is NOT FROM God. It is that simple. Further, any fellowship of so-called Christians that do not obey Christ and accept his words at face value do not

belong to Jesus Christ. They will be part of those whom Christ informs at the time of judgment: “I never knew you.” When asked to accept the words of Jesus, the truth squad denied Christ. In the process of refusing to accept what Christ said, they made Christ out to be a liar. More in a moment, but

for now, let’s get back to Apostle Paul in Romans. Paul writes:

“For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no

more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of

my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I

myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.” Romans 7:19-25 KJV

Paul laments that a war wages within him between the flesh and the

spirit. The more you exercise your spiritual muscles, the more your flesh will become subjected to the will of your spirit.
