What defiles a man

Matthew 11:28-30
Come unto me...my yoke is easy, and my burden is light
What defiles a man?

CERTAINLY 

"Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man." Matthew 15:11

BUT

These are the things which defile a man;

"those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man..... evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies" Matthew 15:18-19.

Who is a blind leader?

Hear and understand;

Any who teach for doctrine the commandments of men is a blind leader, these are they who Jesus said, "in vain they do worship me" Matthew 15:9. 

What are commandments of men?

The commandments and doctrines of men are rudiments of this world, which aren’t spiritual put by men  to have you submit to their regulations, things such as saying; "Touch not; taste not; handle not; Which all are to perish with the using" Colossians 2:21-22. These things have a reputation for wisdom but promote only self-made religion, false humility, and self-indulgence, and the Lord said, "This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. They worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines human commands."

Blind leaders rather hypocrites neglect the truth, and consentrate on the less unimportant, but remember my friend it's not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth - this defiles a person.

The worship of those who substitute human religious traditions for the Word is vain, it’ll accomplish nothing, it will have no result, and will be as though it never happened. No good comes, no prayer answered unless we conform to the Word.

So what shall we do?

He replied, "Every plant that my heavenly Father didn't plant will be uprooted" Matthew 15:13.

Resisting Jesus’ ministry will never work, will have no accomplishments. But you and me should strive to be counted on to lead others safely in spiritual matters. He said, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30.


God bless you,

Who is a blind leader?

And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way. And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words. And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? Mark 12:12-14 KJV.
They came to Jesus saying flattering things about him, and all they wanted was to trap him.
When they came, they said; He was truthful and didn’t care what anyone thinks,He was not partial to any, he did not regard the person of men, but  that he taught the way of God truthfully, and then they asked, Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Although it’s true Jesus was truthful, that he taught the way of God truthfully and does not show partiality, but it’s not true that he doesn’t care what…

Called to be sons!

We’ve all been called to preach, to proclaim or tell the Good News of the Kingdom of God. He won’t change His mind about what He has called us to do, to go tell unbelievers that there is God. So let’s all obey God and answer the call to preach and  help people get saved.
We have to be faithful, obedient, and patient in order to fulfil God’s call. God may temporarily lead you to do something. That doesn’t mean the gift is gone or that the calling has disappeared, because the gifts and callings of God are without repentance. In other words, God doesn’t change His mind!
According to 1 Corinthians 12:27, you and I are the Body of Christ and members in particular. Each member has a role to play in the Body, and yourself my friend must know what God has called and gifted you to do.
You may not have heeded or discovered God’s call on your life in the past, but that call is still there my friend. The gifts and callings of God are without repentance! Make a decision today to stir up the gift with…
