4.17.2019 OTHERS MAY , YOU CANNOT by G. D. Watson (www.BulletinInserts.org

'if anyone wishes to come after me. he must deny himself, and TAKE UP HIS CROSS  and FOLLOW ME.  for whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. Matthew 16.24,5

IF God has called you to be truly like Jesus in all your spirit,
HE WILL DRAW YOU INTO A LIFE OF CRUCIFIXION AND HUMILITY. HE WILL PUT ON YOU SUCH DEMANDS  OF OBEDIENCE THAT YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO FOLLOW OTHER CHRISTIANS. he seems to let other good people do things which he will not let you do.

others who seem to be very religious and useful may push themselves, pull wires and scheme to carry out their plans, but you cannot.
if you attempt it. IF YOU ATTEMPT IT, YOU WILL MEET WITH SUCH FAILURE AND REBUKE FROM THE LORD AS TO MAKE YOU SORELY PENITENT.

others can brag about themselves , their work, their successes, their writings, but the Holy Spirit will not allow you to do any such things.


others will be allowed to succeed in making great sums of money or having a legacy left to them or in having luxuries, but God my supply you only on  a day-to-day basis, because He wants you to have something FAR BETTER THAN GOLD,  A HELPLESS DEPENDENCE ON HIM AND HIS UNSEEN TREASURY.

 the LORD may let others be honored and put forward while KEEPing YOU HIDDEN IN OBSCURITY BECAUSE HE WATS TO PRODUCE SOME CHOICE, FRAGRANT FRUIT FOR HIS COMING GLORY WHICH CAN ONLY BE PRODUCED IN THE SHADE.

GOD MAY let others be great, but KEEP YOU SMALL.  He will let others do a work for Him and get the credit, but HE WILL MAKE YOU WORK AND TOIL WITHOUT KNOWING HOW MUCH YOU ARE DOING. then , to make your work still more precious, HE WILL LET OTHERS GET THE CREDIT FOR THE WORK WHICH YOU HAVE DONE ;  this to teach you the message of the Cross, humility and something of the value of being cloaked with His nature.
THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL PUT A STRICT WATCH ON YOU  AND WITH A JEALOUS LOVE  REBUKE YOU FOR CARELESS WORDS AND FEELINGS , OR FOR WASTING YOUR TIME, which other Christians never seem distressed over.

SO MAKE UP YOUR MIND THAT GOD IS AN INFINITE SOVEREIGN  AND HAS A RIGHT TO DO AS HE PLEASES WITH HIS OWN ,  and that he may not explain to you 1000 things which may puzzle you r reason in his dealings with you.

GOD WILL TAKE YOU  AT YOUR WORD.
IF YOU ABSOLUTELY SELL YOURSELF TO BE HIS SLAVE,
HE WILL WRAP YOU UP IN A JEALOUS LOVE
AND LET OTHER PEOPLE SAY AND DO MANY THINGS THAT YOU CANNOT.
SETTLE IT FOREVER,
YOU ARE TO DEAL DIRECTLY WIT THE HOLY SPIRIT,
HE IS TO HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF
TYING YOUR TONGUE OR
CHAINING YOUR HAND OR
CLOSING YOUR EYES
IN WAYS WHICH OTHERS ARE NOT DEALT WITH.
however, KNOW THIS GREAT SECRET OF THE KINGDOM:
WHEN YOU ARE SO COMPLETELY POSSESSED WITH THE LIVING GOD
THAT YOU ARE,
IN YOUR SECRET HEART,
PLEASE and
DELIGHTED OVER
THIS
PECULIAR,
PERSONAL,
PRIVATE,
JEALOUS
GUARDIANSHIP AND MANAGEMENT
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
OVER YOUR LIFE,
YOU WILL HAVE FOUND  the vestibule of heaven,
THE HIGH CALLING OF GOD.
