A SAVED MAN


A SAVED MAN BY SHANE ROESSIGGER 

What is a saved man?

Saved from destruction and hell! Never saved from liars, persecutors, and hypocrites! I have been young and I have been old, but I have never seen the righteous forsaken! Every one of us has a past, and every one of us has flesh! This is why God said, “Do not judge lest you be judged!” He spoke of a parable about a man who had been forgiven all his debt and was pardoned! We all know He was speaking about every one of us who are born again and have had all our debt paid for on the cross. I have come to realize and have met some who still are judging people’s pasts. Actually, they themselves are so not perfect!

I even know a person who became one with a prosecutor to destroy a brother’s life, using his past before Christ to determine who he is now! Overnight, brethren are being persecuted not for who they are now but for what they believe. These Pharisees go from the table of the Lord to the table of the devil in a heartbeat. How does one become a Judas overnight? No, it was not overnight. It just looked that way. They have always been that way, wolves in sheep's clothing. They do not need to be prophets or teachers, just imposters. It’s when their agendas and plans get foiled by God and when self-righteousness starts to stink so bad that God turns them over! Judas did not turn overnight. It was a continued hardened heart. The betrayal was just the end fruit of a self-righteous life and attitude that we can do it better than God! An attitude of our way makes more sense than God's ways and plans. It is listening to wrong voices and strange voices that get us so far away from the cross, and offenses that are never dealt with will turn the prettiest flower into the ugliest weed! The victim of this crime is Satan's slave who becomes changed and deceived and never even realizes it. 

Betrayal is one of the most demonic sins that God hates! Because it is all dark, all hidden, and all demonic! If you are fake, you become a son or daughter of darkness! You forget who and what you were before Jesus, before His mercy, and before His Grace, and what you are capable of! We must never go behind and defraud our brothers and sisters. I saw with my own eyes one of the most demonic plows, and I saw a woman give herself over to Satan and who is being used by the devil to judge and now is being judged by God because of betrayal. God says when we betray one another, we betray Him! See, when one does not fully surrender, they are still their own God! When you are your own God, you are incapable of healing yourself and delivering yourself!

How does one person go from following Jesus one day to following the devil the next day? Simple! It was never real salvation to start with! By their fruits, you know them! Some who claim to know Jesus and judge a brother or someone’s past before their salvation and change of direction is a hypocrite and still under the law! They are self-righteous, religious, and reprobates to grace and truth! The scriptures are very clear! Runners always run! We cannot run from the truth or from our own delusions. They will follow us wherever we go! 

Can you imagine Paul, a murderer before Christ, but now considered a man full of faith and power! He went around telling every of who is was and who is is now because of the blood of JESUS and because of the power of God unto salvation! Imagine people saying, “Don’t listen to him. He used to kill people.” “Don’t follow him. He was so bad!” No! People who betrayed him are mentioned in the Bible, and some who came against him and his ministry became blind. His past and testimony were unto the Glory of God! If someone proclaiming to follow Jesus came against the Glory of God, they are not a friend of Jesus but an enemy of the cross. They have not understood between flesh and Spirit, between blessed and cursed, or between righteous and unrighteous. It was Paul’s past that made his future so real! It was Paul’s past that made religion so bad. It is the Spirit that testifies of the Spirit. Not man but God.

Now I see clearly how love is the only way to be in the truth! Truth without love will always become a lie! No matter if the lie is to yourself. Deep down you know it, and you run from yourself but you’re always there! When you smash the mirror, another will appear!! You cannot hide from you even at night when you take off your mask. You know all day who is under it!  Betrayers don’t stop betraying. It is a slippery slope to Hell! The fear of God has no place in the life of a betrayer. If that's you, turn and find rest because the cross was made for you. Drop your stones and realize you have been stoning you! Repent while you still have breath! Humble your self under the mighty hand of God! Let Him make all things new in you! Any in Christ is a new creation, not any under the law!
