LET GO AND LET GOD!
By
Preached at Banner Elk, NC
Years
ago, a committee of ministers in a certain city was discussing the possibility
of having D.L Moody to serve as the evangelist during a city-wide evangelistic
campaign Finally, a young minister who wanted to do the preaching himself got
up and said, “Why Moody? Does he have a monopoly on the Holy Spirit?”
There was silence. Then an old godly minister spoke up: “No Moody does not
have a monopoly on the Holy Spirit; but the Holy Spirit has a monopoly on
Today we will take a look at Ephesians 4 and
verses 31-32. Open your Bibles please to these verses. Verse 31 begins with a
little three letter word “Let.”
Let is a little word froth with meaning! These two verses
have no power without the human will, yet with the will these verses hold the
secret for a happy life, a happy marriage, and a happy future! This little word
“let” is found in many places in the Bible and shows how for sanctification the
will must be aligned with the power of God. We cannot save ourselves by any
works we can do – both the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy make this clear.
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest
any man should boast.
Galatians
2:16
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith
of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be
justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the
works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
“I ask, how can I present
this matter as it is? The
So
it is plain that nothing we can do can add to our salvation – or even have a
part in it. Then why the importance of this little word “let”? Well here it is,
“by the works of the law, shall no flesh be justified.” BUT
– Everyone who will be saved and sanctified must have “works of the will.”
What are works of the will? Here they are: believe, repent, come unto Me,
confess, be baptized, resist the devil, reckon yourselves dead to sin, let not
sin reign in your mortal body, let this mind be in you which was also in Christ
Jesus. These are works of the will, and when you have a will to serve God and
to live a holy life – Yahweh adds to your will and gives you the desires of
your heart! He works in you causing you to “will and to do” His
good pleasure! Inspiration tells us, “Everything depends on the right
action of the will.” And so our two Scripture verses for today start
with the word “Let.”
The two verses in Ephesians 4 tell us to let
certain things be put away from us – put out of our lives. We are to let six
specific things go
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger,
and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
And we are to do three vitally important things!
32And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted
(affectionate), forgiving one another, even as God for
Bitterness is holding a grudge. Bitterness has
destroyed many marriages and ruined many lives! Bitterness is like acid in a
wooden cup, it does more damage to the cup holding it than to anything else!
Bitterness is so poisonous that the Bible says it can cause many to be defiled.
Turn with me to Hebrews 12, verses 14 & 15.
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no
man shall see the Lord: 15 Looking diligently lest any
man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble
you, and thereby many are defiled;
To be
defiled means to be lost because it says in Revelation that nothing that
defiles will enter heaven! Notice it mentions a “root” of bitterness –
roots are hidden deep in the earth. A root of bitterness can be hidden deep in
the heart and only the heavenly Surgeon with the surgical knife of His Word
that can divide between bone and marrow and discern the thoughts and intents of
the heart can remove it from your heart. The Bible says in Jeremiah
17:9:
The heart is deceitful above all things, and
desperately wicked: who can know it?
Even
your own heart can be fooling you – there is a way that seems right, but the
Bible says it’s all wrong! Ephesians 4 says let all bitterness go! Put it away
from you for heaven’s sake!
The next
thing Ephesians
Proverbs
19:11 The
discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a
transgression.
Proverbs 27:4 says “anger is
outrageous.”
Wrath
and anger is an outrage against heaven and against holiness and invites the
devil to rule the mind! Uncontrolled anger has led to much pain and many deaths
both to the angry one and the one who receives the abuse of the angry one. I
recall reading somewhere in the Spirit of Prophecy writings that when a person
is controlled by anger, they are possessed by the devil! We can pity those who
let the devil control them, and also realize that the devil is the one behind
it.
When
someone is angry, try and use the Bible way to turn away wrath – it is a quiet
answer. Trying to argue back or yell back at someone who is angry is like
grabbing a tiger by the tail! Like bitterness, anger can have roots hidden deep
in the heart.
I saw
in a store an “anger ball.” When you’re angry you throw it and when it hits
something it sounds like glass breaking. As followers of the Savior, we don’t
need “anger balls” – we have the Holy Spirit! Yahweh our heavenly Father will make
a way to escape. Use prayer, and a quiet
answer. In Proverbs
29:22 it is written: “An angry man stirreth up strife and a
furious man aboundeth in transgression” Friends, today you can let
bitterness and anger go by the grace of God!
Ephesians
The verse
also tells us to put away “evil speaking.” The Greek word used there is “blasphemia.”
This is speaking evil against Yahweh, or His servants. It is gossip and
tale bearing with a religious slant aimed at Yahweh, His Son, His church, or
His servants or fellow believers. Remember
If the
Lord does not forget even a cup of cold water you give to His servant –
promising a reward for the kind deed. What will he think of those who cause
harm to, abuse or slander His servants? He won’t forget that either and it will
be paid back. In Psalm 105:14, talking about His people, Yahweh
our heavenly Father said: “I suffered no man to do
them wrong: yea, I reproved kings for their sakes; 15 Saying,
Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.” Brothers and
sisters let evil speaking go! Put it away from you!
Lastly
the verse tells us to let “malice” go. The Greek word translated “malice”
is “krakeeah” and it means “depravity and wickedness.” Years ago
We are to let that go – let it be put away! The
Holy angels won’t stand by to witness that kind of “malice” against the
Lord. Evil angels are drawn to that and the mind created to be noble and seated
in heavenly places in Yahshua the Messiah is reduced to depravity and malice.
Ephesians 4:31
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put
away from you, with all malice:
Let it
go and let God create in you a clean heart and renew a right spirit. What is
done in the dark will be shouted from the house-tops
In
verse 32 of Ephesians four, the Lord tells us to do three things. First he
says, “Be kind” to one another. Kindness is one of the greatest
Christian virtues. We are told this: “The
Be ye kind! Husbands be ye kind to your wives. Wives,
be ye kind to your husbands. Parents, be kind to your children. Children, be
kind to your parents. Be ye kind!
When
In Ephesians
Husbands be affectionate to your wife and
to your children. And the same with wives and mothers! One day
Genesis
33:4
And
Genesis
45:14
And he fell upon his brother
Genesis
46:29
And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to
Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on
his neck a good while.
Luke
15:20
And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his
father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed
him.
Like the father fell on his son’s neck, so your heavenly Father longs to
hug you and I. He is always affectionate to us. Let us be affectionate to one
another!
And lastly in Ephesians
Remember the story of the man who was forgiven a great debt, and then
when and choked one who owed him a tiny amount. When the ruler heard of this,
all the debt cam back on the man and he was thrown into prison till he paid the
last penny! Listen to what the Lord told
us about this story.
Oh if
the words of Ephesians 4:32-33 were let come to pass in the lives of God’s
people, what a change would take place in the Israel of God! Let all bitterness
go! Let anger and wrath go! Let evil speaking go! Let shouting go! Let the
perverseness of malice go! And let Yahweh the Creator put in your heart kindness,
affection, compassion, and forgiveness!
