Hello Everyone,
Can a person really be saved and deny God’s total Lordship over his life?
Can a man or a woman really call Jesus Christ “Lord” and refuse to do the things He tells them to do?
Can you or I really expect eternal life in Heaven when we’ve never bowed before Him as Lord on earth?
To understand this is to understand what being a true believer is all about.
When we summit to Him as Lord we come to see that He supplies all that we need for what ever purpose or task He gives.
Whatever it is, Adonai supplies what His servants need in order to perform their Masters will.
But as Adonai He has a right to expect obedience!
This is why God became angry with Moses at their meeting at the burning bush.
God called Moses to go before Pharaoh and tell him to release His people. But listen to Moses reply to God.
One thing that you might not know. When “LORD” is in all capitol letters, the word is “Jehovah”; the other times it is Adonai.
Exodus 4:10-14
10 Moses said to the LORD, "O Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue."
11 The LORD said to him, "Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the LORD ? 12 Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say."
13 But Moses said, "O Lord, please send someone else to do it."
14 Then the LORD's anger burned against Moses and he said, "What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is already on his way to meet you, and his heart will be glad when he sees you.
Why was God angry? Because Moses was saying, “Lord, Lord”…Adonai, Adonai” but not trusting and submitting to Him as Adonai.
What good does it do to use your lips to say the word Lord and not bow your knee to His Lordship and turn and go the opposite way of what He says?
Jesus said it best Centuries later in Matthew 15:7-8
7You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you: 8" 'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
Where is your heart?
Oh How HE Loves Us!
