A Closer Look @ Iniquity – Part 4

(Thoughts That Can Spring from Our Imperfections or Potential Lustful Tendencies)

1. A believer, who will overcome iniquity, is one who has to excel in judging himself daily like Paul did; one who will acknowledge that he still has unknown tendencies to respond to his own lust (iniquity), because he is yet to totally disown corruption or become incorruptible, even by fully partaking of the divine nature (Acts 24:16, Jas. 1:14, 2Pet. 1:4)

2. When God wants to bless or increase authority upon a man, He positions him in a place of service—where he is meant to do everything as unto the Lord (Col. 3:23). And so, anything we do outside this is informed by unknown sins or tendencies to gratify self within us, all because of our inability to use the word of God to see through the motives and intents of what we do and don’t do (2Cor. 4:2, Jas. 4:1-3, Heb. 4:12-13).

3. Going into perfection is moving into a season of higher obedience, where we use the light of love rather than use the light of faith (Heb. 6:1, Jas. 1:17, Rom. 16:19a). While doing so, we would skillfully judge the hidden things of dishonest and limit the adversary from accusing us or laying blame on our service unto God (2Cor. 4:2, Rev. 12:10, Php. 2:12-15).

4. The Father wants to honor everyone who will selflessly seek Him like His only begotten Son once did, by ranking them amongst the elites of the New Heavens (Heb. 11:6, Rev. 14:1-5). Their weapon and shield will be their being content with His promise, and thereby be separated from death—and be reaped as the precious fruit of the earth (Matt. 6:33, 1Tim. 6:6-8, Jas. 5:7).

5. Most buildings and houses on earth were built by men who hadn’t been inwardly built by at least the revelation of the Christ—or of the Son of God; men who were passionately restless—having not known the first rest that is found in Christ the Son of faith, or the last rest that is found in the beloved Son of love (Matt. 16:16, 11:28-29, 16:16, Heb. 3:4).

6.  Like in Joseph, God’s program to hide man from the wicked one or from the working of the law of iniquity begins when we haven’t known Him or called upon Him for salvation (Gen. 50:19-20, Job 33:16-18, Rom. 8:28-30). And so, things actually begin to work together for the good of those who will love God—when we were offered the gospel; from when the devil began to steal life from us, which qualified us to be sinners whom Jesus came to save, even by giving us life and life more abundantly (Jn. 1:12, Matt. 9:13, Jn. 10:10).

7. The season when we commune and repent daily like David and Apostle Paul did, about those ways and hidden natures that we previously didn’t know about, is one when the light of the everlasting gospel has begun to expose a law, love, and tendency called iniquity (Psa. 51:1-19/86:3, Rom. 7:21-24, 2:16, Isa. 6:5-7). Then would God the judge of all keep coming to us with the judgments of everlasting righteousness, to help us see the many sides of the mystery of iniquity—and how it will come to an end (Heb. 12:22-23, Dan. 9:24).

8. The day when Jesus and His holy angels would be able to witness to our selflessness is the day when we would have handled opportunities, privileges, platforms, or things that can wield some form of power—like Jesus did (1Tim. 3:16; Matt. 4:11; Php. 2:3-8). And such is the season when we would realize we never really knew what iniquity was, as long as we haven’t become elites in judging with the wisdom of everlasting righteousness; or surrendered every right that limits us from owning and becoming God’s righteousness (2Thess. 2:7a; 1Cor. 6:3; 2Cor. 5:20-21)
