Sleeping Virgin - Fleshly Achievements — Milton Green

The Futility of Fleshly Achievements

Repentance and selfish ambition he has his fleshly dreams visions and he starts buildings and fleshly achievements and leading people out of fleshly achievements which has no profit against indulgence of the flesh.

Blind Leaders and the Pit of False Righteousness

You never need people overcoming righteousness and all of that. How can a blind leader lead the blind anywhere except to the pit? Are you hearing what I'm saying? And so that's what we're walking in. This is what we're finding.

Now if any of you here are being a little bit offended right here and so forth like that I want you to examine your thoughts because I want you to remind you that I have told you from the very beginning right here that I'm not only talking about you I'm talking about the whole bunch of us have been asleep.

I'm not here to condemn no one in this city. I'll let the Lord's law do the condemning. God's law does the condemning. God's word and so I'm just going to speak the word. I didn't come here to try to start a bunch that was going to get spiritual pride and then start condemning and judging other people.

That's like I told you get out of one ditch and you run over and jump another. If you don't let your light shine you don't know him. That's reason people have been brought from a lot of truth because people taking some truths out of here and perverting so there's another part of the Bible.

The Prince of Peace and the Work of the Spirit

You see how the powers of darkness have worked us folks. How many sense of spirit of God all over this place here now. You know what he's doing with you right now. He's dealing with you. Folks do you know why there's peace all over this building right here.

Not because any man came to town. Not because some Lord wants any man to look good. Because the Prince of Peace is here and when he moves in the powers of darkness move out. He told those demons and by his grace and mercy he's shutting them up so you can hear right now and he can try to deal with your heart and if you're a righteous person you're gonna live by faith and then you're no longer in control your life folks.

Though the joy and glory is letting God for him to control your life through Jesus through the Spirit it will come to pass. That's what grace and mercy is. The law and love are in total agreement because when you walk in love you love the law.

When you don't have a repentant heart the law becomes changed. You don't like it. The Lord's dealing with your heart. Spirit of God is right now. I don't have anything for you to join. I don't have anything to lead you to except Jesus and the Word.

God's Promised Blessings and Possessing the Land

Everything I said down at that point you there. Folks there's a glory. There's a glory and blessings that God is wanting to pour out on us. He's got that closet full of stuff he's wanting to put on us.

We've been walking out like an absolute devil. Repentance is when you have a change of heart and if you can get a heart to clean up a little bit. You know what the gospel does. When you go in and possess the land the enemy don't have anything else in you.

Christ's Holiness and Freedom from Satan's Rule

You know what Jesus said in John. He said the ruler of this world is coming and he has nothing in me. You know why? He said in the next verse he does the commandments of God. So he can't get anything.

We've not been walking in holiness. We talk about to cover being holy things like that but we hadn't been holy. We've been asleep. Our fathers have been transgressors of God's law. Our fathers were deceived and we've had misleading oracles and traditions handed down to us.

Scripture, Tradition, and the Pharisees

And I can show you just this plain from now for weeks writing the Word of God. I'm going to build on up into Revelation last day and it's not because I'm smart obviously. I don't have anywhere I will go to share the Word.

The people are sitting there. They don't have any trouble with the Word. Now I have a problem with them going and leaving there and then having a problem with their tradition. Controversial question now.

There's a problem there because they leave there and they don't come back. They don't want to hear it. They're just like the Pharisees. God doesn't have their heart in the birthplace. Now I'll tell you what folks.

Confession of Sin and the Blood of Jesus

It's an amazing thing that I got into an introduction here tonight and I think we've come to a place where the Lord just wants you to begin confessing these sins. And then when you confess them and you really mean it in your heart, you know what happens?

You put it on the blood. You put it on the blood and then when you put it on the blood, you're no longer a lawbreaker but you're a lawbreaker until it gets on the blood. As long as you're practicing in the heart.

The Heart's Allegiance and God's Discipline

With a heart you either believe in righteousness or with a heart you believe in unrighteousness. Your heart is believing on the nature of Satan or it's believing on the nature of God. You're not going to walk both ways devil-minded.

And then folks, God's wanting to bless us and all these curses and things that came on us in Hebrews 12. It shows us if you're without, in Hebrews 12 verse 8, it says, if you are without discipline of which all, which means the Son of God, have become partakers, you are illegitimate children and you're not sons if you don't receive discipline.
