A Place Of No Reputation .mp3

Moses had once been an esteemed member of the royalty and powerful rulers of Egypt yet when GOD met with him at the burning bush and revealed Himself to Moses as The I Am That I Am, together with His call on Moses, he was unknown and of no name or reputation, had no influence or power and in his heart had relinquished all of that past way of life of self reliance. He then stood on Holy Ground. We see the supreme lesson of submission and obedience in our LORD Jesus Christ and the direct opposite of Satan's 5 "I wills" of rebellion against God which is also the way of the world system. The "5 i wills of Satan" are five statements of prideful rebellion found in the biblical book of Isaiah 14:13-14, which describe Lucifer's desire to usurp GOD's authority. They are: "I will ascend into heaven," "I will exalt my throne above the stars of GOD" "I will also sit on the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north," "I will ascend above the heights of the clouds," and "I will be like the Most High". These statements reveal Satan's self-sufficiency, pride, and ultimate intent to be equal with or greater than GOD. The world system in which we live and fallen man follows this code of lustful conduct. Rather than give worship to Elohim his Creator, Satan sought to grasp and gather worship of himself. But he is brought down by The LORD to the very lowest place. In contrast, Philippians 2:5-11 outlines a pattern of humility and emptying of self sufficiency through Messiah's example also in five key stages: 1) Christ did not grasp onto His Divine equality, 2) His voluntary self-emptying, 3) His servant-like human form, 4) His obedient humility to death on the crosd and 5) His exaltation to the highest place not by Himself but by The Father. This is our pattern, mindset and example to follow which is ways in direct antithesis to the fallen human nature and the anti Christ world system in which we are currently living in where reputation and glory are lusted after and grasped for, but it is the grasping of wind.... To have Christ Himself is to have all. Selah... Shalom
