Choose Your Side In Matthew 12:30 Jesus said: “He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattered abroad.” You can not be on both sides of the fence. You have to take one side or the other. You are either with Jesus or you are against Him! You are either gathering with Him or you are working against Him! You can not do both. You have to make a choice. It all has to be in favor of Jesus because He showed that He was all in favor of you when He died on Calvary’s cross. He paid the price. There is no middle ground; you are a Christian or you are not. I am sure you have heard the old saying: the only thing in the middle of the road is a dead skunk. Now, having said that, look at verse 21: “And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.” We need to trust in the LORD even in His name. It is a requirement in both the Old and New Testaments. In Proverbs 3:5-6 it states: “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” There are times when we do not understand but it does not matter; just trust Him all the same. I have been in places where I was lost, geographically speaking, and I would stop and pray. I would ask the Lord which way I should turn and before you know it I would be just exactly where I was suppose to be. I firmly believe that in more ways than one, the Lord does direct our paths if we truly trust Him to do so. We need to trust God both as a church and as an individual because there is nothing too hard for God. However, like I said before, you can not straddle the fence! Look at verse 25: “....Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:” Then Jesus goes on to say “And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?” You see, Satan also has a side. If you are not on Jesus’ side the only side left is the devil’s. And that was the problem here. The Pharisees were trying to walk along with the devil and walk along with the LORD at the same time. It can not work that way. Do you think that Satan is

going to cast out Satan? Of course not! Verse 27: “And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.” Jesus was saying that because they did not believe but their children did, that their children would be their judge. We need that childlike faith! In Matthew 18:3 Jesus said: “...Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Believing in Jesus Christ is not complicated. If it were He would not have said: “...Except ye be converted, and become as little children...” It is just a matter of believing like a child does and having a childlike faith! Adults are the ones who try to make it complicated. You know what to do; just do it! Just trust the LORD with all your heart just as a small child naturally trusts his parent. How complicated is that? The problem is letting go of your doubt. We know what to do but actually doing it is another thing. The Bible tells us in James 4:17: “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” You can not have one foot in the world and the other in the church. You must pick your side. These Pharisees believed in God the Father but not Jesus the Son. I John 2:23 tells us: “Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.” In John 8:42 Jesus said: “If God were your Father, ye would love me...” Verse 44 of John 8: “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do...” Which side are you on? If you’re not with Jesus you are against Him and your father is Satan. So choose your side! Which will it be, Jesus or Satan? Those are the only two choices!
