If I Am A Man Of God

The man of God did at last go to the principal involved in the Word of the Lord. Do you see the man of God who speaks the Word of God with boldness? He will be compelled to stand boldly before the power brokers who are offended. And when he does stand before them, he will speak the truth. He will speak without fear because he has already stood in the presence of the Living God. Underscore that thought in your mind—that one who has stood in the presence of the Lord will speak the truth without fear because he has already stood in the presence of the Lord God.

Let’s review what we’ve seen in this message.

• The man of God will hear the command of God because he is speaking with the Living God.

• The man of God will stand firm against evil because He fears God far more than he fears evil.

• The man of God will speak God’s Word because he will not dishonour the One who appoints him.

• The man of God will be fearless before the threats of the godless because He knows that God is with him.

• The man of God will demonstrate the power of God because he has experienced that power in his life.

• The man of God will speak the truth because God’s Word is true.

I’m calling the people of God to determine that they serve the Living God. Among us today are men and women who to this point have not been challenged in their service. I’m calling each one to present himself, to present herself, before the Lord God who equips and appoints to be used as He determines. I’m calling on each one to seek God’s appointment to stand firm against the culture of death that marks our world today.

For those who are now standing firm against culture, let the message serve to encourage you, lending firmness to your stance that you take each day. Your service is making a difference in the lives of others, though you don’t necessarily see that difference each day. Know that the Lord is using you, even when you feel the loneliness of your labour.

Listening today may be someone who has never known the Living God. Somehow you know in your heart that the world is dragging you down, turning you away from the life God desires for you. Your great need is to look to Christ, the Son of God, the divine sacrifice for sin, receiving Him as Master over life. The Word of God promises, if you openly confess Jesus as Master of your life, believing with all your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be set free. You see, when you believe this truth that Christ lives, that He tasted death because of your own sinful condition and that He has conquered death, you enter into a right standing with the Living God. You have freedom to know Him and to be accepted by Him as His own child. Because of your faith in Jesus the Lord, you enter into a living relationship with God. Your open confession will result in freedom so that God no longer condemns you. You will then be set free to know God and to enjoy Him forever. Amen.
