No Motivation in Christ / Human Emotion Isn't Power in Christ


There is no such thing as being motivated at all, as there is no free will, much less to 'do' anything in Christ. It is God who non-metaphorically lives in us who performs what He says and desires through us.

Phil 2:12,13 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Phil 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

It is a very great evil and deception to look to each other rather than to Christ Himself and is evidence of being under the sway of anti-Christ to so be done through.

The Corinthians looked to their own deception of what love is among themsleves and in relation to non-new creations in Jesus Christ and fell for the alternate literal of 'Love!' so that they were unable to put out the leaven from among them else they were deceived they would be 'hating' the one put out. The result was that one who slept with his father's wife was counted among them as having commited no error, thus compounding not only the error, but even seeming among them to prove the 'love!' in which they were deceived to have brought emotional opportunity to themselves of what was formerly forbidden:

1 Corinthians 5:1-9 It is universally reported that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not even among the nations, so that one should have his father's wife And *ye* are puffed up, and ye have not rather mourned, in order that he that has done this deed might be taken away out of the midst of you. For *I*, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged as present, to deliver, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (ye and my spirit being gathered together, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ), him that has so wrought this: to deliver him, I say, being such, to Satan for destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Your boasting is not good. Do ye not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, according as ye are unleavened. For also our passover, Christ, has been sacrificed; so that let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with leaven of malice and wickedness, but with unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. I have written to you in the epistle not to mix with fornicators;

But God clearly says as to following another love than Himself:

Proverbs 28:26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

The mantra of anti-Christ as non-creating speech is that emotional opportunity exists somewhere other than where you are now and in some other action than God is performing through you. The sole source of the constant pull toward next and the future as opposed to here and now is the heart of the flesh. What is in the heart of the flesh such that the heart of the flesh manufactures feeling?

Matthew 15:18-20 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.  For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
