A Bit More About Godly Character- Proverbs 11:3










"The integrity of the upright guides them,
    but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity." - Proverbs 11:3

This verse leads to want I want to talk about today - Godly Character. Godly character is when we are Christ-like which we need to be all the time. If we call ourselves Christians our actions must be those of Godly character. People look at your life - who do they see, someone holding fast to their integrity or someone who leads and others to and dwells in deceit.  Philippians 4:8 says, :
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is fair, whatever is pure, whatever is acceptable, whatever is commendable, if there is anything of excellence and if there is anything praiseworthy—keep thinking about these things."

This describes Godly character - many more verses here: https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Bible-Verses-About-Christian-Character/

Godly character dwells in the things God has done for us and what is good and of 'good report'. If we keep on dwelling and getting worked up on the situation around us, we're not going to get anywhere. But when we believe and keep our faith strong in God, something will happen after a while
(Further study: 1 Peter 5:10, Ephesians 6:10-12)

"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world."- 1 John 4:1. Godly character does not believe every word they hear.

"and he will delight in the fearof the Lord.
He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes,    or decide by what he hears with his ears;" - Isaiah 11:3

Christ lives in us (2 Corinthians 3:5)  , which means we are like Him, like Paul said:
" There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus." - Galatians 3:38 . We are all ONE in Christ Jesus! So, we, like Isaiah 11:3 says do not decide disputes from what we hear, (Note: Isaiah is talking about the Messiah here)
but must test the spirit inside a person (1 John 4:1) for everyone has a spirit. How to know if the Spirit is of God:
"By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God" -1 John 4:2. When we confess, the Holy Spirit which is in you, will tell you if a spirit is truly of God. This is what John is trying to explain. Because Satan is very good at pretending! He has no power! He can only twist - and erase - what God has planted in your life!

CONFESSION:

I am a heir of God and the spirit of Jesus is in me, taking me to new levels of glory. I am walking in the light just as Jesus is. I restore everything the devil bad taken in my life - I am a conqueror. In Jesus name, Amen!

Revere Christ as Lord!

"But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." - 1 Peter 3:15. Whenever we are being trialled or tested for our faith, we should never deny it. Take the opportunity to tell them about God. Preach to them and give them the chance to hear about God. It may work, it may not. But all you know is, you accomplished your part of the mission. You've preached to them. Now it's there decision to come to Christ. Notice the Bible says do it with GENTLENESS. We don't use violence to try and preach the Gospel. We don't force people to believe in our reality. We use one of the fruit of the spirit (See Galatians 5:22 for a full list) Now you may wonder why Peter says 'with respect' when God says: "Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:" - Acts 10:34.

Most Powerful

8 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. (‭Psalms‬ ‭16‬:‭8‬ KJV) In this verse, David is actually having a revelation about Jesus from the Holy Ghost. Let me explain. You see- as Christians, Jesus is the one who is before us. The One we follow. He is at our right hand and protects us. And because of Him, we are not moved. The Lord is you Leader, Provider and Guide. Without him, your steps would be without guide and you would have no knowledge of the path you are taking. You would be vulnerable to Satan and he will be able to destroy you. But-thank God- he can't destroy us. Christ lives in us, the most powerful Thing ever!
