In the book of (James 1 vs 8) it states how "a man of two minds is unstable in all his ways. They are dubious, hesitant and irresolute." The person will be unreliable, uncertain in everything they feel, think and decide. And I write this today on a throwback Thursday to tell some part of my testimony. I will show you and explain to you how I let the world, devil and flesh DERAIL me from God's purpose for my life. This is just a mini- series of a whole movie of this Disciple you see right here. I do this to compel you to want to change and for you to know you are never too far gone to come back. God's grace and mercy is sufficient and through his son and the guidance of the holy spirit you will be cleansed. However, you have to remain cleansed. In (Hebrews 10 vs 26-27) It MENTIONS HOW DELIBERATELY SINNING, THERE IS NO MORE GRACE AND MERCY FOR YOU BUT, GOD'S JUDGEMENT. This is to say that sinning should stop being a culture and daily practice. By now we ought to know better if not, you know now, so STOP.
In (Ephesians 2 vs 8-9) it talks about God's unmerited favor and grace on our lives. He sent His son our savior (JESUS CHRIST) to redeem us and save us out of our sins. When that happens we are changed, freed and delivered. We should never go back because the way back to the light will be even harder. I am saying this because I was once there. I was a THORNY HEART according to the book of (Mark 4 vs 19). I allowed the cares and anxieties of the world as well as the distractions of the age, and pleasures and delight in false glamour and deceitfulness of fun/ riches and the craving and passionate desire for other things to come and choke and take the WORD of God out of my Heart and Mind. I was a very committed "church goer" see the words I say church attender. I was not living out the life that I was reading in the bible or hearing in the preaching and songs in the church I was attending. I just went to church as an event. That is where many Christians go wrong.We should not make Christianity just a religious practice on a Sunday to Sunday basis or other special events your church does. It is a RELATIONSHIP with Our Almighty God. Knowing he is the ONE AND ONLY TRUE LOVER. He sent his son OUR SAVIOR (JESUS CHRIST) to save US out of sin. He is my CREATOR (GOD) and I know I owe him my life.
However, because of this nonchalant attitude I have been through ups and downs, I was once at wild parties, I drank, used slandery, was foul tongue mouthed and greedy which are all SINS. There are some others sins people indulge in that are mentioned in (1 Corinthians 6 vs 8-10) and in (Galatians 5 vs 19-21). You need to check those scriptures out and ask yourself I'm I truly for Christ. IF NOT SURRENDER. Here are some pictures of the ways I thought I was/could represent my FATHER WHO LOVES ME SO MUCH. Looking back at it I know "I LIED TO MYSELF" because what glory and light did these practices bring to God. (John 8 vs. 12) Jesus is Light and when you follow him there is no darkness in him. I have decided to follow him and I want the same for you all so, please STOP, SURRENDER, PRAY, ASK FOR FORGIVENESS and your eyes will be opened you will see that you don't want to go back. Here are two inspirational and empowering songs to help you decide. William McDowell "I won't go back" and "Withholding Nothing". Here is where to find it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsoKRSkg2KA and the other https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdnV75zIQUA. He wants it ALL, SO GIVE HIM ALL AND HE WILL GIVE YOU ALL YOU NEED.
So, My fellow friends if you still do any of these things. It is all WRONG. They are not a Christ behavior and practice. Living for Christ should be a daily practice not a Sunday thing. Don't let the WORLD, FLESH and DECEITS from the Devil TO DECEIVE, MISLEAD AND DIRECT YOU DOWN THE WRONG PATH.He will come to drag you back and mislead you down the same way. See how convincing and deceiving he was that he caused Eve to sin. He came in a animal form which was (a snake). In this time there are other ways he comes to you through a friend, partner, party, song, food, money, job, advice, compromise, attitude, role model and so on.
Therefore, people be strong the practice of Christianity (Christ like) is for the STRONG. We are eagles and we have to live out the commandments of God doing it with our whole hearts. Also, diligently and delighting yourself in his ways. The only rewards you will care for is those in HEAVEN. Like sitting at the feet of God and praising him forever. If you know that song Tamela Mann "I can only Imagine" you will get a little sense of sitting and standing before the KING. Chickens are those who will read this and still decide to be blind to the truth. May that not be your portion in Jesus Name AMEN.
I am praying right now for you that you will understand why I wrote this and I felt it necessary to share my story. I am speaking to all the lost souls who at the edge of perishing. God please rescue them and open their eyes to see the truth, way, life and light so they will choice decisions wisely henceforth. Wisdom is a gift, it only comes with the fear of the Lord. Read (2 Corinthians 5 vs 12-15 ) and you will understand why I share this first short story and why I am bent on helping , encouraging, supporting and guiding people through the right choices in life.
Also in the bible (Hebrews 10 vs 24) it says "let us consider and give attentive, continuous care to watching over one another, studying how we may stir up (stimulate and incite) to love with helpful deeds and activities." Please people do not take this as a way to find faults in me I was once not worthy to be called a disciple but now, I have seen the light. What about YOU, who have you chosen God or the Devil. There is only two sides. Right or wrong, bad or good, dark or light. Choose God now and you will be of good, right ways and walk in the light. Pray and Read the bible ALWAYS. Don't do anything without asking God's will for you. Don't get Mislead. Check out Heather Lindsey sermons, books and blog as well as her husbands Cornelius Lindsey. Look up Jefferson Bethke spoken words on YouTube and most especially for ladies check out HIGH HEELS AND HIGH STANDARDS by Brittjayy she has changed my life so much with her knowledge of the scripture. I thank God for her life. I also encourage you to look for Kendradeelove blog she is mighty and powerful in her words and knowledge of the scriptures. STAY HOLY, RIGHTEOUS, AND GODLY. GOD LOVES YOU.
Remember (Mark 8 vs 35) "For whosoever wants to save his life ETERNALLY will lower his earthy life and whosoever gives up his life on earth for My sake and the Gospel will save his higher and spiritual life in the eternal kingdom of God". The life we live is not ours it is God's we were purchased by him so we have to live it according to his will Read (James 1 vs 22) That we should be doers of the word not just hearers and readers. Also read (James 4 vs 15- 17) and seek understanding of all scriptures you read. Make sure You seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness ( His ways and truth) and then all things will be added on to you, (Matthew 8 vs 33).
I love GOD and that is why I share "Woe is me if I do not preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ" I will be held accountable on judgement day also, if you do not change soon you will be held accountable too (2 Corinthians 5 vs 10). In fact, NOW is the time because tomorrow may be too late. I pray that will not be your situation in Jesus Name. AMEN. It is the end times and the devil is working harder and harder every day to build more disciples/ followers but you will have to say NO. JESUS IS GREAT AND I WILL FOLLOW HIM. STAY STRONG AND SOAR LIKE A EAGLE. DON'T BE A CHICKEN.
I am here for you and I will love to answer, hear and help with understanding of concerns. So just reach out and ask me. However, I will not argue over the WORD OF GOD. This is BIBLICAL, not philosophy, theology, sociology, psychology or even religious studies. This is the TRUTH and the HOLY BIBLE contains it not books written off of research. Thanks and Be Blessed.
