Be Reconciled and Restored to Yeshua Jesus While There is Still Time

Before I begin, let’s set some ground work for direction for this sermon. Let’s look at the terminology for two key words: first the word reconcile. 

Reconcile: in Greek is ‘Katallasso’ which denotes “to change, exchange” (especially of money) hence of persons”;  “to change from enmity to friendship, to reconcile” with regard to the relationship between God and man. 

Now, the second, restore: in the Greek ‘Katartizo’ means “to mend, to furnish completely.” It is translated “restore” in Galatians 6:1 metaphorically, of the restoration by those who are spiritual, if one is overtaken in a trespass, such as one being as a dislocated member of the spiritual body. 

Now that we’ve got that established, let’s move a little deeper into the subject.

All of you at some point in time or another have disassociated from someone, whether it be family or friends for some reason or another; and this left a bitter or a negative, heartfelt moment in your life. Some of you are dealing with the emotional repercussions of the falling out. And sometimes these emotional repercussions can have a devastating effect upon one’s mental, physical, and spiritual awareness as they try to move on towards growth in their life. Know this, that these emotional events can, and in most cases will, stunt their growth in other areas of their life. As I said, it can affect these areas in your life. For instance mentally: you can focus on the problem, or take things quickly to the heart of what others may say. Physically: your body begins to experience external manifestations of the internal emotional state. For example, you might experience headaches, break out in hives, nervousness, chronic pains, and sickness. Next spiritual: some of the most common spiritual symptoms are not being able to stay focused on the Lord/Yeshua/Jesus, constantly worrying about your walk in Christ, self-condemnation, inability to have an effective prayer life, and lastly, constantly being vexed in your soul. The only way to resolve this is by getting to the root of this emotional repercussion and asking Jesus for His forgiveness and then forgive yourself. Then you can be reconciled, restored and healed.

Now let’s see what the Word has to say about these two understandings in the book of Matthew 5:23-25: 

23 “Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 24 leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. 25Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.”

Just as Jesus, after Adam and Eve had sinned, God had to reconcile us back to Him.

Read 2 Corinthians 5:15-20:

15 “And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. 16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.”

You have to believe and understand that we are no longer citizens of this world, but are citizens of heaven. Let’s read in His word in the book of Romans 5:8-12:

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. 12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”

In my conclusion, let all of us understand this one thing, and that is, if you are holding in your heart any form of animosity, hatred, or even deep emotional anguish towards someone or situations, then you definitely need to reconcile your differences for the good of your spiritual well being.

Read 1 Peter 5:5-8:

5 “Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 7 casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:“

I thank you for your attention these last days in Yeshua/Jesus’ name it is so.

Your Mind is not FIFO in this World, or is it?

FIFO- First In First Out

It’s dealing with your mind. The perception stores the knowledge of memories. memories are events of the past we tend to hold onto in the future. What does “mind” mean? To distinguish from a sensation. Your mind and thought pattern is more than a sensation, it is the creative understanding. The older generation would get up there and sing “My mind, my mind, my mind is gone.” Well the older generations was expressing that their mind was gone in Jesus. The terminology and words of the past have been corrupted; the thoughts the memory patterns of the past have re-determined the meaning. They are doing it to Christ in our minds and hearts. The song says “When I think of His goodness and all He’s done for me, my soul cries out hallelujah, thank you for saving me.” They’ve turned the words around and have said “when I think of what He has done for me, my spirit cries out, thank you for saving me.” They have exited out Jesus, exited out the in filling of the Holy Ghost…They don’t want you to know the value of believing in Christ.

Like everything else in your life there is always someone better and faster than you are. A lot of times we think in our minds that “we have this…I’ve got this.” The first information you receive from people interests you, the second part captures you, the third marks you, and the fourth part locks you. Your locked into that person and the information. The point is this, first in first out (FIFO). The first information that people try to give captivates you, they pull you in closer, then they lock you down into what they want you to do. You have to be careful what you listen from them, because that will come out in you. If someone puts filth inside of you, the first thing that will come out of your mouth will be filthy. They may mean well, but do they mean well? People talk about things that they like talking about. To captivate you in a subject in your thoughts, to captivate you period brings you into their world, and they instruct you on how to operate and be in their world. The first thing that comes into you is them and their emotions. The second thing when you’ve been captivated by them is it becomes alive in you. Then you begin to add-on to and relate to that story, so when you explain to someone else that story, you’ll be surprised how much detail you’ll retain. FIFO. So when we go and tell someone something, its a conglomerate of what they said and also what we think. People add their emotions to stories.

When you put in XYZ on a computer, it will give you the result of XYZ. If you put in KGX, then the computer will put out that the information has been corrupted because its not XYZ. When you receive the Word of God, it gets inside of you. If you tell someone else about the Word of God, and you aren’t right…you aren’t right…then the data that you got will not be right, but it will look close. Some of us will say “It will do…its in the area.” If I’m going to your house and you live on block 44 and I’m on black 56, is that your house? FIFO. Some of us has been corrupted with data that should not have been a part. Unusually it’s based on our lifestyle. Corruptions corrupt you absolutely and thoroughly. It corrupts your walk, your talk, even your daily regular experiences. Sometimes Christians walk around being a most corrupted mess you want to see. But they know how to go “Halle, Halle, Hallujah.” How do you fix a computer that has been corrupted? You wipe it clean with a magnet. There is no computer out there that cannot be repaired because if man made it, man can fix it. There is no human being out that God can’t fix, because God made it and He can fix it. If you find that you have viruses in you, you can’t just keep going on. If a virus is in your phone, can you still make phone calls? The corruption of a virus on your software does not corrupt the hardware. When you’re corrupt, it doesn’t corrupt your body, it corrupts your mind and soul. The spirit inside of every man who God gave is a set of instructions for man, just as software is the set of instructions for a computer. God can wipe the corrupt mess from you, but you have to first bring it get fixed.

How many of you examine what comes into your mind? Whether it’s through music or what people say to you. Filters. Filters are ok as long as they are clean. If it isn’t’ clean you will re-circulate the same mess over and over again. If your screen/filter has bacteria and has never been cleaned out, something will slip though and get to you, and make you sick. In us, there is a virus that writes a program in us that prevents us from reaching Christ. By not giving you all the information, that makes you even worse than if you had not information. That will make you dangerous. If you tell a child not to touch a fire and go no further to explain why, what will they do? They will touch it because they want to know why. Not giving you the full information corrupts you totally. What every man or woman allows to invade their thoughts no matter what form it is received in, it makes you a slave to it. Whatever you allow to come inside you whether good or bad, makes you a slave to it. In this world, it’s all bad. So you are a slave to the things around you. Being corrupted from the inside is the worst thing. FIFO. Its terrible when you’re molded with mess. You are like a Bouncing Betty Mine when you go off. Sound has no directional focus, its audible everywhere. So when your run your mouth, it goes everywhere. We corrupt the information that comes in us, and we corrupt it even more when we send it out.

Matthew 15:1-11

Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

That means they could have gotten the right information, and when it came out it could have been corrupted. This chapter is about creating an inner purity so that when you receive something, it comes out the same way. There should be no disturbance of that force. The same thing that went in you should come out the same. Christ said I want you all to speak the same thing.

1 Corinthians 1:10-15

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.

No speak your own mind, speak what’s in you? Is that what this says? No! The same mind, joined together in the same mind, and the same judgement. Are we suppose to do that? Is Christ divided? The bible says speak the same thing. At AOCM we repair software that was originally given to the people. So we have to be on our p’s and q’s. Because there are some broken folks out there, because they want to be repaired. Jesus said I am God and I change not. The same as I was in the beginning, the same shall I be today. That is a discussion that takes place in the Church today. What are you teaching about, at this Church? I’m teaching about how you can put a hat on. What are you teaching about at that Church? I’m teaching about how you can put your shoes on. What are you teaching about at this Church? I’m teaching about how you can put your hat and shoes on and get a new wardrobe. What does the Word say? We are not in unity in the church. At the end of the day we’re not doing our will we’re doing His, so if we corrupt His will for our lives, then what are we doing?

The Lord needs you in ministry. But take the time to clean your filter so you won’t spread corrupt mess. Fix you before you try to fix someone else. Be in the world but not of the world. What does that mean? So they legalized marijuana, does that mean you use it? No. Be in the world but not of the world.
