Can we look at something please? It’s a revelation I just had: Jesus at 30.
From scriptures, we know that, the HolySpirit came upon Jesus when he was baptized. And the Spirit led him into the Wilderness to fast for 40 days and 40 nights and be tempted by the devil.
But have you asked yourself, “How did Christ live before he reached 30, before the HolySpirit?” We know from theologians that, Jesus started his ministry at age 30. You know, the Bible is not bias.
The Bible tells us the previous lifestyle of Paul (Saul).
So, if Jesus was something evil, the Bible would have told us.
What we know is that, the Jews knew him as the carpenter’s (Joseph) son. We are also told that at age 12, he was seen with the scribes answering questions, and lived with his parents.
We also know that, at that young age, the boy Jesus knew his purpose. [“Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?” Luke 2:49]
Someone would argue that, Jesus was a different kid. I know. Because his coming into the world was through an unusual means (no intercourse). But that didn’t make him less/more of a child or a human being.
Jesus’ life, from childhood till adulthood is to teach us how to live and not give excuses.
I ask this, “Why do we have the HolySpirit now and still live recklessly?”
Jesus didn’t have the infilling of the HolySpirit until 30, but his life before age 30 was without flaws.
Let’s look at Job, like the others in the old testaments, in the Old Testament, the HolySpirit wasn’t poured on all flesh but upon the Called and Chosen ones of God (Prophets and Leaders), but the Bible records that Job was blameless, and without blemish.
How could a man without the HolySpirit be without fault? Was he a Jesus? No.
When Jesus was calling his disciples, he told Nathaniel that, he is a true Israeli without fault. Did Nathaniel have the HolySpirit secretly that we didn’t know? Absolutely Not.
All these people, let me call them the Old Testament people (before the pour of the HolySpirit) had the Fear of God in them: They dared not sin, they dare not be comfortable in their sin. Even though they didn’t see God but only heard him through their leaders and prophets, they still had reverence for their unseen God. They feared a ‘man’ they never saw. No wonder they had notable miracles, because they had faith. Blessed are they that don’t see but believe” says the scriptures.
The scriptures of James tell us that, sin comes as a result of desire. Does it mean that, New Testament Christians (out pour of the HolySpirit) have developed other desires other than the Fear of God? Absolutely!
The Bible says, the natural flesh is enmity to the Spirit. So should your desires come from the flesh and self, you are putting yourself in enmity to God.
Don’t even give the excuse that, you don’t have the HolySpirit yet and don’t speak in tongues. Job and the Holy people of the Old Testament didn’t have the HolySpirit. All they had was FEAR FOR GOD, and they were able to live righteously.
What is happening to the New Generation Christians? “To whom much is given, much is definitely expected.” The Spirit that caused Philip to run pass the eunuch’s chariot, the HolySpirit that resurrected Christ from the dead, the Spirit that created the world IS WHAT IS LIVING INSIDE OF YOU. [Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the HolySpirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20]
What are you still waiting for in order to live like ‘God’ on Earth? Scripture says, “I said, ‘You are ‘gods’; you are all sons of the Most High.” Psalm 82:6. You are not a mere man Sweetheart; YOU HAVE GOD (THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE) LIVING INSIDE YOU. Start living as such. He says in Revelation 1:6 that ye are kings and Priests.
Love as such and don’t settle for less (the world).
Stay Blessed.
Jesus Loves You.
