M alachi 3:14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts?

Matthew 6:16 (KJV) Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Matthew 11:30 (KJV) For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

BACKGROUND:

Malachi the minor prophet was a mystery to Israel, apart from the meaning of his name, nothing is known of him. His book was written 5Th century B.C. His ministry and burden as a prophet was no small task. He was sent to pick up a discourage people, a people who were finding faults of God. In chap 1 and verse one the Lord say he love Israel, but Israel question that love. Israel was having difficulties serving the lord, difficulties base on a bad starting out.

INTRODUCTION:

A squadron of Japanese solders was cut off from their main command, their radio was messed up, and they could not hear from High command, they continue fighting for many years later and never even know that the War was over. A solder life depends also on his radio, just like his food, helmet, bayonet, boots, compass, maps, and his comrades. With is radio he can call for help, received command, and received warning about an ambush up a head.

The Holy Spirit is the Christians radio, if a Christians cannot and will not hear from the Holy Spirit whom Christ sent to guide us into all truth, and to relay to us what He hears from God in the heavens our life will go off the path.

A solder need good physical training, including keenness of persecutions. The same thing with the Christians, our spiritual ears and eyes must be available to the Holy Spirit. Many of the things that bring Christians down. Are, falling prey to cults, and their bad doctrines. Becoming members of organizations that have devils in there posing to be the Holy Spirit. Falling prey to bad marriage. Getting married to one of Satan children that he has camflauge in the church as Christians. Get Married base on looks. All these thing are things that the Holy Spirit is there to warn us of, if we are in tune with him.

1 Cor. 2:12 (KJV) Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

John 16:13 (KJV) Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

Isaiah 30:21 (KJV) And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

HALF THE PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH THAT CLAIMED TO BE CHRISTIANS ARE NOT.

Matthew 25:1-4 (KJV) Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. [2] And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. [3] They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: [4] But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

Galatians 2:4 (KJV) And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

2 Cor. 11:26 (KJV) In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;

Matthew 7:22-23 (KJV) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? [23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Rev. 2:7 (KJV) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

Rev. 2:11 (KJV) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. Rev. 2:17 (KJV) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

Rev. 2:29 (KJV) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Rev. 3:6 (KJV) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Rev. 3:13 (KJV) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Rev. 3:22 (KJV) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. 1 Cor. 6:19 (KJV) What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

YOU ARE NOT YOUR OWN:

When a person gives their life to Christ, the person is not their own anymore. You cannot go make big decision on your life before consulting with God and know what he wants you to do. Whatsoever you and I do must be in line with what he called us to do. If we run off, we will end up like dead fish.

Some people were raped as a child, abused by their father, cousin, brother, uncle, and mother’s boy friend. They are hurt and cynical of men. Unfortunately, your love will not be able to cure this person. You the child of God will not know what you are jumping into unless the Holy Spirit revels it to you. One young boy wrote to the gleaner and say” Dear pastor, I am my uncle sex slave” One young woman came to our church, she was in spirit all day, she was pretty and well shaped. We the young men could not wait to get to meet her. When we found out, she married seven times and divorce.

Living the Christians life can be as easy as taking a candy from a baby, and it can be as hard as fighting a crocodile. However, you must purge your life and you must learn to hear from the holy spirit and fallow his leading. This take some time and training. You must be able to know when it is your mind talking to you is when it is the Holy Spirit. You must know when it are demons are the people.

(1) PHYSICAL TRAINING IN BOOT CAMP.

A solder in boot camp must first learn the physical training, he she has to first build up their physical life. The solder is going to fight a war in his or her physical body and that body needs to be builded up.

THE CHRISTIANS SOLDER MUST FIRST PURGE THEIR OWN LIFE.

The new Christians must examine himself, prove himself, and purge himself, from dead works.

2 Cor. 13:5 (KJV) Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

2 Tim. 2:21 (KJV) If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

WHAT ARE THE DEAD WORKS?

You and I cannot serve God with dead works in our hands and lives.

Hebrews 6:1 (KJV) Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

Hebrews 9:14 (KJV) How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

DEAD WORKS.

Proverbs 14:30 (KJV) A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.

Proverbs 23:17 (KJV) Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long.

Eccles. 9:6 (KJV) Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.

ENVY MADE US SAY AND DO BAD THINGS TO OTHER PEOPLE.

Psalm 106:16 (KJV) They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the Lord.)(The people gave Moses trouble because they envied him.

Matthew 27:18 (KJV) For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.)(Jesus was delivered up because the chief priest envied the power that was up on his life.

Mark 15:10 (KJV) For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.

Acts 7:9 (KJV) And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,

)(Joseph brothers sold him into slavery because they envied him.

Acts 13:45 (KJV) But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things, which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. )(They Jew contradict Paul’s teaching because of envy.

Acts 17:5 (KJV) But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.

Philip. 1:15 (KJV) Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: The problems why some preachers of the gospel cannot get along in envy. The problems between white and black people are envy. The black men new freedom is envied by his counterpart, he should not be free but remain in servitude forever.

HOW ENVY AFFECT AND BRING DOWN CHRISTIANS.

It keep you and I from hearing from the Holy Spirit, if you and I do not hear from the Holy Spirit we will fall into bad decisions up a head which will ruin our life in years to come. A solder on the battlefield cannot let his radio be misted up, or else he will never hear from high command. A group of Japanese solder was cut off on a certain Island keeps fighting some ten years after the war was over, because they could not hear from high command.
