John was dedicated to God from his youth. He cared not for this world or its fame platforms. Nor did John admire any of the worlds forms of pleasures and fun as to desire it. He separated himself unto God and unto the work God called him to do, to be full of the Holy Spirit daily. He was disciplined in his food intake. He fasted and stayed in fellowship with God from his mothers womb all the way thru his appearing to Israel and until he paid the price for being hated by this world. He knew who he was in the scriptures. He desired Jesus to be magnified FAR ABOVE HIMSELF. He said Jesus must Increase and I must Decrease.
His trademark message was one of the importance of bringing forth the fruit of true repentance and to believe in the one (Jesus the Messiah) that was to come after him whose shoes he was unworthy to untie. He preached from the Holy Spirit that men are to be content with their income, and to be givers to those in need. He preached and warned people of the great day of Judgement that was to come and that all people must be prepared to give their account to God. He preached about how God was going to clear His creation of all evil spirits and evil people. He preached about the wrath of God to come.He cried in his sermons his warnings for all to flee from the wrath of God. Repent he would tell them. Repent. He even preached about the church being gathered together to be with the Lord. And he preached on the souls being cast into unquenchable fire.
For Johns love for the Lord and for His daily living sacrifice of His life so separated unto God for the Maters use and for all these sermons we just mentioned, Jesus said John was the GREATEST man ever born from a mothers womb.
What are you preaching and declaring all the time? Do these same sermons subject have their place on your lips from time to time???? I must say by the holy Spirit that itching ears want allow those kinds of sermons much any more, if ever at all. Things to ponder and think about and more..........deno......share freely.
