Fanatically Sold Out

Why fanatical? Fanatical we say because we are obsessed and zealous about God’s business. Obsession is not bad when it’s for the cause of Christ. It means we are fixated, fascinated, and preoccupied about God and what He loves. It also means that we allow the Holy Ghost to control our life and we have a compulsive passion for the Word of God. We are in love with Christ and we want that same life He lived for God while He was in the earth. We are willing to suffer persecution and face the adversity of the Devil. We are haunted with serving God and will beset the sin in our lives as we grow closer to Him. We want to be fanatically sold out for Christ.

Go because Jesus commissioned us in Matthew 28:19-20 to go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo I am with you always even unto the end of the world.

Grow because we have the grace of God that we go from strength to strength. We grow because the path of the just is as the shining light, that shines more and more unto that perfect day. We being in Christ grows in His principles as we learn of Him and it takes us on to perfection for Christ is the perfection of the Father. We are like babies that grow up and as we grow we desires the sincere milk of the Word of God. We grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Glow because we are in Christ who all power has been given in heaven and in earth. We are the light of the world as Christ is the light of the world. We are the salt of the earth, we add flavor to the sinners life that they desire the more of Christ. We are a city that cannot be hid; we glow because the Holy Ghost lives on the inside and beautifies the meek with salvation.

We become fanatically sold out because God, Christ, and the Holy Ghost all dwell in us where we are brought before the thrown in heaven. What greater joy can man experience than to experience all of God in His fullness? The love of God is predominant in our lives; we love as God does. We render dominance, supremacy, and control to God without any bias, preconceptions, prejudice or assumptions. This means we come to Him without any other motives and intents other than to run the race set before us. We have precision, exactness, correctness, and accuracy concerning the things of God. We see as God sees, we feel what God feels, and we hear Him when He speaks to us and fall in line. When we realize just how much God loves us and how precious we are in His sight we value the relationship so much that we want to fanatically sell out to Him.

To go, grow, and glow fanatically we must have perfect practice at obedience to God’s Holy Word. We cannot train, exercise, or rehearse salvation in a day; it takes a lifetime of devotion to God. We develop through being skilled in the Word, being able and available at every call of God, and having the proper lessons from experience acquired. We become one that praises God in whatever state we are in. We commend and applaud God even when the circumstances surrounding us; according to the world denotes anger. We don’t live to please our flesh but what pleases God. We endorse Holiness and righteousness. We compliment God for all He is in our lives no matter what or who says we are crazy. We celebrate Him in Spirit and in Truth with honor. We have to live Holy that God be glorified. Our lives preach Jesus Christ, Him crucified and resurrected in us. Yes believe that our lives too preach, teach, discourse, exhort, moralize, informs and addresses the sinner. Jesus addressed the church, the sinner, and us today. We have been blood washed and crucified in our flesh when we submit it to God by way of Jesus Christ and the finished work He did at the Cross. What other reason than this should we be fanatically sold out? The Romans referred to Christ as a rock of offence because his life, teachings, and death were so entirely different from what the Jews had expected as to prove an obstacle to their acceptance of Him as the long-promised Messiah.

The flesh and the blood! The flesh covers the natural body and the blood covers the spiritual body. The flesh is the material body distinct from the soul and spirit. All living beings possess flesh unlike God that is Spirit. The flesh is human nature. The sinner that lives in the flesh is deprived of the Spirit of God and dominated by the appetites of the flesh. They obey the flesh by what their mind says rather than the heart where the Spirit is lacking. Romans 3:20-24 lets us know that the flesh is not justified by the law. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight; for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested being witness by the law and the prophets. Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believes; for there is no difference. For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. We are justified by faith. If we believe that sin came in the world by way of Adam then we also believe we have life by way of Jesus Christ; the flesh and the blood. We don’t have to live in sin it’s by choice we sin. By that same choice we allow sin to reign in our lives. Jesus died that we may live free of sin. Our sin has been covered by the blood of Jesus Christ. The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

For when we were in the flesh the motions of sins which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death; but now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held, that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. We have to become fanatically sold out to God; choose you this day who you will serve. Decide that my heart will be perfect with the Lord the rest of my days. Allow your zeal to consume you. Realize the fruit of righteousness is a tree of life and should be spread among the lost; for he that win souls is wise. We have a call to come to Christ and allow Him to become real in us through and through. Get busy about doing what God has said to do in His Word and do it with all of our might. This day the light has come and the glory of the Lord has risen in us and we are the light of the world. Work the work of the Lord while we have strength in our body and can see. Delight ourselves in the law of God after the inward man of the heart. Don’t be moved by every wind of doctrine; but be stable, unmovable and abounding in the Word of the Lord. Fervently do God’s business, not slothfully but with love and a pure heart. It’s time to girt ourselves up with truth and put on the breastplate of righteousness. Let us not be weary in well doing, don’t faint along the way.

Are we really ready to meet Christ? Are we really ready to stand before God if He called us home today? Are we fanatically sold out? The call according to Revelation 22:17 will be made; the Spirit and the bride say Come; and let him that hears say come. God is calling for His people to be fanatically sold out! If we want to be obsessed about someone or something, let it be God. If we will obey His voice indeed and keep His covenant, then we shall be a peculiar treasure unto Him. We will as God has shown mercy to us will also show mercy to all people. God is saying sell out; if you love me keep my Commandments. To know Him is to love Him; to love Him is to obey; to obey is to keep His Commandments.
