Ægte venskab

LINK

5 Mos. 13:6-12.

John 15:12.

Der er så mange skrifter, der forbinder venskab med døden, hvilket betyder, at ægte venskab kommer gennem døden. For at Gud kunne være vores ven og gøre sine fjender til sine venner, var han nødt til at lægge sit liv for dem! Det betyder, at han døde for at gøre os til hans venner, døende på korset John 15:12, "Jeg lægger mit liv for dig, mine venner". Så ægte venskab begynder fra korset, og i det venskab, korset skal være nummer et og mellem de to venner.

Med andre ord, for at jeg kan være din ven, skal korset bringe os sammen. Vores venskab med hinanden hviler på Jesu Kristi kors.

Gud er vores ven, ikke fordi vi har gjort noget. Gud er vores ven, fordi han har gjort alt. Han er vores ven, fordi han døde på korset.
Der er intet, du kan gøre for at være en ven af Gud bortset fra at modtage det, som han gjorde på korset.

Han er din ven, men han skal vide, at du faktisk vokser i dette venskab.
Filippinerne 3:10, Han tillader forsøg i vores liv, så vi kan blive i overensstemmelse med hans død, der vokser i vores venskab med ham. Man kan kun kende en sand ven, når man har problemer.
Han tillader os at gennemgå prøvelser, så vi kan få følelsen af "Han er min ven".

Hebræere 13:6, kun en ven kan ikke forlade dig eller svigte dig. Kristus siger det, fordi han ved, at vi får problemer. Men i problemer har vi fornemmelsen, at vi har en ven, der aldrig vil forlade os eller svigte os.

Gud er min ven, i mine svagheder, i mine svagheder i mine problemer, og i mine fiaskoer. Gud skærer aldrig sit venskab fra de mennesker, han har leveret, kalder dem venner!

Ordsprog 17:17, han er den ven, der elsker til enhver tid.

Venskab begynder med gud, når det er i hjertet, så vil vi begynde at være venner med hinanden, for der er noget, vi ser i hinanden liv, vi ser Gud i hinanden.

1. Den første kategori af venner; dem, der vil blive sammen uanset hvad indtil døden!

David og Jonathan var venner, de satte Herren imellem dem.

Hvordan bliver vi venner med hinanden? Hvad ser jeg i en person? Ser jeg dem på en naturlig måde?

Venskab begynder med at se Kristus i en person.

Hvert venskab skal prøves. Da David og Jonathans venskab blev sat på prøve, forblev det, fordi Jonathan havde set Gud i David.

Abraham og Lots venskab blev testet, hvordan? Øg i ejendele, Gud velsignede dem begge, men der var strid mellem dem.

Der er et venskab, der kan skilles ad, Abraham og Lot skilles ad. Lots

venskab med Abraham var ikke dybt, men Abrahams Venskab med Lot var

dybt, at selv når Lot var i problemer, ville Abraham tage derhen for at

levere Lot, han ville kæmpe for Lot!

Abraham var en sand og en god ven, vi har alle brug for Abraham i vores liv! Abraham er mulig at have som ven, bliv ved med at se ud over det naturlige. James 2:23, Abraham var en ven af gud, jeg har brug for denne Guds ven i mit liv!

Lot var sammen med Abraham, og han så aldrig Gud i Abraham. Han så Sodoma og Gomorra, og han sagde, at det lignede Edens Have, og han efterlod en god ven! Havde han set Gud i Abraham på trods af alt det, der var sket, var han

blevet.

Da Gud så på Abraham, så han noget, der var meget specielt. Abraham havde også problemer, han fejlede, men Gud skar aldrig sit venskab med ham.

Det begynder med Gud, når først det er i hjertet, så vil vi begynde at være

venner med hinanden, for der er noget, vi ser i hinandens liv.

David og Jonathan var venner, de satte Herren imellem dem.

Hvordan bliver vi venner med hinanden? Hvad ser jeg i en person? Ser jeg

dem på en naturlig måde?

Venskab begynder med at se Kristus i en person.

Hvert venskab skal prøves. Da David og Jonathans venskab blev sat på

prøve, forblev det, fordi Jonathan havde set Gud i David.

2. Den anden kategori af venner;

Dem, der vil beskytte dig uanset hvad! Abraham og Masser venskab blev testet, hvordan? Øg i ejendele, Gud velsignede dem begge, men der var strid mellem dem.

Der er et venskab, der kan skilles ad, Abraham og Lot skilles ad. Lots

venskab med Abraham var ikke dybt, men Abrahams Venskab med Lot

var dybt. At selv når Lot var i problemer, ville Abraham tage derhen for

at levere Lot, han ville kæmpe.

Dette er muligt i venskab, det kan kun være dig, der vil se ud over og blive

ved med at nå.

James 2:23, Abraham var Guds ven, men Lot var med Abraham, og han så

aldrig Gud i Abraham. Han så Sodoma og Gomorra og sagde, at det

lignede Edens Have.

Havde han set Gud i Abraham på trods af alt det, der var sket, var han

blevet.

Da Gud så på Abraham, så han noget, der var meget specielt. Abraham var vokset i sit venskab med Gud.

David var vokset i sit venskab med Gud.

Daniel var også en ven af gud, han er en mand "højt elsket". Sætningen

taler om en behagelig, dejlig lugt.

Daniel kom tættere og tættere på, Daniel så, hvordan Gud var venlig mod

ham.

3. Tredje kategori af venner;

Dem, der vil lokke dig i falsk tilbedelse. 5.Mos 13:6, der er en ven, som Bibelen siger: "lyt ikke til, hvis de lokker dig til at gå på afveje" gå ud og tjen anden guder!

Normalt er det venner, vi plejer at lytte til, vi lytter ikke til Davids eller Abrahams råd.

Der er nogle venner, der kommer til os, og vi er hurtige til at lytte, for det ser ud til, at vi elsker at høre de ting, de fortæller os, selv om de er kristne!
I dag sniger troende sig ud og øver hekseri lørdag og søndag er de i kirken! Pas på dem, du kalder gode venner, de lokker dig til at tilbede andre guder, nægte hekseri! Jeg vil hellere dø fattig end at blive milliardær på grund af hekseri!

I kirken, kig efter David, Ruth, Esther, Abraham, den slags venner, sande tilbedere af den levende Gud!

Jeg vil være tættere på dem, for jeg ved, at selv når jeg går på afveje, vil Abraham lede efter mig, han vil kæmpe for at sikre, at jeg bliver leveret. Vi ønsker, at den slags venner, ikke dem, der vil lokke os, til at løse de problemer, vi har.

Vi vil have venner, der vil sige " der er Jesus, der helbreder og velsigner liv, hader dem, der gerne vil bringe dig tæt på mænd, der hævder at have Guds magt!

Du har ikke brug for en "Judas". Kristus kalder ham en ven, i Matt 26:50.
Kristus var grunden til, at Judas stadig trak vejret, han havde magt til at afslutte ham, om et øjeblik.

Kristus fortalte ham "Ven, gør, hvad du vil gøre hurtigt".
Der er venner, der ikke kun vil lokke dig, men også vil forråde dig og bagtale dig, pas på sådanne.

4. Den fjerde kategori af venner;

Dem, der vil bagtale dig! Taler om dig med en ond hensigt!
Når du læser 2 Samuel 9, 16: 1-3, 19:25-27. En historie om tre mænd, kong David, Mephibosheth den lamme fyr og Ziba, der var plejetager af den lamme fyr.

Ziba var jaloux over de ting, som den lamme mand havde fået af kongen. Engang beder kong David Ziba om at tage den lamme fyr med, så de flygter fra krigen, men Ziba efterlader den lamme fyr, fordi han ville have ham til at dø i krigen, så han kan tage alt, hvad den lamme fyr havde . Ziba narrede den lamme fyr og bagtalte ham til kong David. Han fortalte kong David, at Mephibosheth havde sagt, at nu er det tid til at tage kongen tilbage, der tilhørte hans store far Saul! Disse ord sørgede kong David. Men tiden kom, hvor Mefibosheth skal møde David, fortæller Mefibosheth kong David, at han ikke havde noget imod Zibas ord, og hans grådighed eller materielle begær.

Det eneste Mefibosheth bekymrede sig om, var hans venskab med kongen.
David fik åbenbaringen af, hvor dybt hans venskab med Mephibosheth var.

Du er måske i problemer, og dem du er venner med, vil give venskabet tilbage til dig.

Det er vigtigt, kristne at have venner, det kan være enhver af dine slægtninge. Hvis du ikke bliver venner, vil situationer sørge for, at du er ven.

Bed Gud om at vise dig en ven, og husk at venskab begynder på korset og vokser sig stærk ved at dø dagligt!

Må Gud rigt velsigne dig!

ENGLISH

True Friendship"

Deuteronomy 13:6-12.

John 15:12.

There are so many scriptures that connect friendship with death, meaning that true friendship comes through death. For God to be our friend and making His enemies His friends, He had to lay down His life for them! Meaning He died in order to make us His friends, dying on the cross John 15:12, "I lay down my life for you, my friends". So, true friendship begins from the cross, and in that friendship, the cross must be number one and between the two friends.

In other words, for me to be your friend, the cross must bring us together. Our friendship with each other rests upon the cross of Jesus Christ.

God is our friend, not because we've done anything. God is our friend because He has done everything. He's our friend because He died on the cross.
There's nothing you can do to be a friend of God apart from receiving that which He did on the cross.

He is your friend, but He needs to know that you are actually growing in this friendship.
Philippians 3:10, He allows trials in our lives so that we may be conformed to His death growing in our friendship with Him.You can only know a true friend when you're in trouble.
He allows us to go through trials so that we can have the sense of "He is my Friend".

Hebrews 13:6, only a Friend cannot leave you nor forsake you. Christ says that because He knows we are going to be in trouble. But in trouble we have the sense, that we have a Friend that will never leave us nor forsake us.

God is my Friend, in my weaknesses, in my frailties in my troubles, and in my failures. God never cuts His friendship from the people He has delivered calling them friends!
Proverbs 17:17, He's the Friend that loves at all times.

Friendship begins with God, once that is in the heart, then we will begin to be friends with each other, because there's something we are seeing in each others lives, we are seeing God in each other.

1. The first category of friends; those that will stay together no matter what until death!

David and Jonathan were friends, they put the Lord between them.
How do we become friends with one another? What am I seeing in a person? Do I see them in a natural way?

Friendship begins with seeing Christ in a person.

Every friendship is going to be tested. When David and Jonathan's friendship was tested, it remained, because Jonathan had seen God in David.

Abraham and Lot's friendship was tested, how? Increase in possessions, God blessed both of them, but there was strife between them.

There is a friendship that can be separated, Abraham and Lot separated. Lot's friendship with Abraham was not deep, but Abraham's Friendship with Lot was deep, that even when Lot was in trouble, Abraham would go there to deliver Lot, he would fight for Lot!

Abraham was a true and a good friend indeed, we all need Abraham in our lives!

Abraham is possible to have as friend, keep looking beyond the natural. James 2:23, Abraham was a friend of God, I need this friend of God in my life!

Lot was with Abraham and he never saw the God in Abraham. He saw Sodom and Gomorrah and he said it looked like the Garden of Eden and he left a great friend!
If he had seen the God in Abraham despite all that had happened, he would have remained.

When God looked at Abraham, He saw something that was very special. Abraham had
troubles also, he failed but God never cut His friendship with him.
It begins with God, once that is in the heart, then we will begin to be friends with each other, because there's something we are seeing in each others lives.'

David and Jonathan were friends, they put the Lord between them.

How do we become friends with one another? What am I seeing in a person? Do I see them in a natural way?

Friendship begins with seeing Christ in a person.

Every friendship is going to be tested. When David and Jonathan's friendship was tested, it remained, because Jonathan had seen God in David.

2. The second category of friends;
3. Those that will protect you no matter what! Abraham and Lots friendship was tested, how? Increase in possessions, God blessed both of them, but there was strife between them.

There is a friendship that can be separated, Abraham and Lot separated. Lot's friendship with Abraham was not deep, but Abraham's Friendship with Lot was deep. That even when Lot was in trouble, Abraham would go there to deliver Lot, he would fight.

This is possible in friendship, it can only be you that will look beyond and keep on reaching.

James 2:23, Abraham was a friend of God, but Lot was with Abraham and he never saw the God in Abraham. He saw Sodom and Gomorrah and he said it looked like the Garden of Eden.

If he had seen the God in Abraham despite all that had happened, he would have remained.

When God looked at Abraham, He saw something that was very special. Abraham had grown in his friendship with God.

David had grown in his friendship with God.

Daniel was also a friend of God, he's a man "greatly loved". The phrase speaks of a pleasant, nice smell.

Daniel came closer and closer, Daniel saw how God was friendly to him.

3.Third category of friends;

Those that will entice you in false worship. Deuteronomy 13:6, there's a friend that the Bible says, "do not listen to if they are enticing you to go astray" go serve other gods!
Usually, these are friends we tend to listen to, we do not listen to David's or Abraham's advice.

There are some friends that come to us, and we are quick to listen, because it seems we love to hear the things they're telling us, even if they are Christians!
Nowadays believers sneak out and practice witchcraft Saturday and Sunday they are in the church! Watch out for those you call good friends, they entice you to worship other gods, refuse witchcraft! I would rather die poor than becoming a billionaire because of witchcraft!

In Church, look for David, Ruth, Esther, Abraham, these kinds of friends, true worshippers of the living God!

I want to be closer to them, because I know even when I go astray, Abraham will look for me, he will fight to make sure that I'm delivered. We want these kinds of friends, not the ones that will entice us, to sort out the problems that we have.
We want friends that will say "there's Jesus that heals and blesses lives, hate them that would like to bring you near to men who claim to have the power of God!
You do not need a "Judas". Christ calls him a friend, in Matthew 26:50.
Christ was the reason why Judas was still breathing, He had power to end him, in a moment.

Christ told him "Friend, do what you want to do quickly".

There are friends that will not only entice you, but will also betray you and slander you, watch out for such.

4.The fourth category of friends;

Those that will slander you!speaking about you with an evil intention!
When you read 2 Samuel 9, 16: 1-3, 19:25-27. A story of three men, King David, Mephibosheth the lame guy and Ziba who was the care taker of the lame guy.
Ziba was Jealous of the things that the lame man had received from the King. At one time, King David asks Ziba to bring the lame guy so that they run from the war, but Ziba leaves the lame guy behind, because he wanted him to die in the war, so that he can take all that the lame guy had. Ziba tricked the lame guy and slandered him to King David. He told King David that Mephibosheth had said that now it's time to take back the King that belonged to his grand father Saul! These words grieved King David. But time came when Mephibosheth is to meet David, Mephibosheth tells King David that he did not mind about Zibas words, and his greed or material lust.
All Mephibosheth cared about was his friendship with the King.
David got the revelation of how deep his friendship with Mephibosheth was.

You maybe in trouble, and the people you're friends with, will give the friendship back to you.
It's important, Christians to have friends, it can be any of your relatives.
If you do not become friends, then situations will make sure you're friends.

Ask God to show you a friend, and remember that friendship begins at the Cross and grows strong by dying daily!

May God richly Bless you!
