Fruitfulness Part 2
God’s will for us is to be light to all demonstrating right standing with Him. The Bible says Enoch walked with God not that God walked with Enoch. That is the correct relationship in which we should exist with God.
Fruitfulness Part 2
Ephesians 5:3-14
3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
God’s will for us is to be light to all demonstrating right standing with Him. The Bible says Enoch walked with God not that God walked with Enoch. That is the correct relationship in which we should exist with God.
Ephesians 5:7
7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
That doesn’t say forsake them or avoid them or hate them. It says to not partake or participate or be partners in their disobedient behavior.
Ephesians 4:30
30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Today sin is paraded and broadcasted. The church needs to speak out about what we stand for. If our nation doesn’t return to a respect for God, we are doomed. The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night. God has on His calendar an appointed day that the Lord Jesus will come back. He is coming after a glorious, anointed church; holy and without spot.
Have no communion with those things of the darkness. We are children of light. If you feel you can’t lead someone to the Lord, just tell your story of redemption and His saving grace.
Verse 11 says to expose the fruitless deeds of darkness; not the debtor but the deed.
1 John 1:7
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
The remedy?
Ephesians 5:14
14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
Colossians 1:12-14
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hate made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdomof his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood even the forgiveness of sins:
