Be Prepared! Be Ready!

 Many people who sit in Christian Churches, here in America, & all over the word, profess to be saved, but never really had the true Salvation experience. If asked when they accepted Jesus, they have no answer. Or they say my parents took me to Church as a child & I have attended ever since. Or even, I live a good life. I tell you, any of these are your answer, you are not Saved!! You do not want to stroll into these last day, on the final day, when the Trump sounds, Jesus is in the clouds, yet you not float up to Him! Not a good time you have fallen in, accounted with, the group of “foolish” virgins!  They lacked oil for their lamps! They lacked the fullness of the Holy Spirit! At that moment, the people left behind will experience fear in the fullness of that manifestation! The “wise” virgins were prepared, prayed up, watching the sign line of Christ’s return, focused & Ready, awake-full Of Faith! The “foolish” were “asleep” partaking in the world, not giving attention to prayer, to Bible Study, watching  for the return of Christ nor building their faith by hearing & hearing by the Word of God! Do not be counted with the “foolish” virgins! Work out your own Salvation! Stay alert & keep standing firm in faith! It is up to you!

Matthew 25:1-13) (AMP)  “Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom.Five of them were foolish [thoughtless, silly, and careless], and five were wise [far-sighted, practical, and sensible]. For when the foolish took their lamps, they did not take any [extra] oil with them, but the wise took flasks of oil along with their lamps. Now while the bridegroom was delayed, they all began to nod off, and they fell asleep. But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Look! The bridegroom [is coming]! Go out to meet him.’ Then all those virgins got up and put their own lamps in order [trimmed the wicks and added oil and lit them]. But the foolish virginssaid to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’ But the wise replied, ‘No, otherwise there will not be enough for us and for you, too; go instead to the dealers and buy oilfor yourselves.’  But while they were going away to buy oil, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut andlocked. Later the others also came, and said, ‘Lord, Lord, open [the door] for us.’ But He replied, ‘I assure you andmost solemnly say to you, I do not know you [we have no relationship].’ Therefore, be on the alert [be prepared and ready], for you do not know the day nor the hour [when the Son of Man will come].

Where Is Your Focus?

 We as Christians live in very troubling times. We as Christians are & have been pulled away from Jesus, His Word & walked straight into, took a seat, in the drama, the filth, the cares & fear of this present evil world! Many Christians have entangled themselves deeply into this world! I hear more & more Christians so embedded into the controversies concerning the 2020 elections, they see nothing else. If we believe the Bible, then we must understand God puts the leader in place! Now refocus, & be about Father God’s business of building His Kingdom! Share Jesus, pray & walk upright as His Ambassadors in this dark, cruel world! Let the light of Christ shine brightly into this dark lost & dying world!

Romans 13:1-2 (AMP) Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God [granted by His permission and sanction], and those which exist have been put in place by God.Therefore whoever resists [governmental] authority resists the ordinance of God. And those who have resisted it will bring judgment (civil penalty) on themselves.

Stay Planted On The Narrow Path

 We have reached a point where many uneasy things are taking place. It is a sad time in this life, but these things need to happen & Bible Prophecy will to come to pass, right before our eyes! 

1st Timothy 4:1-2 (AMP) But the [Holy] Spirit explicitly andunmistakably declares that in later times some will turn away from the faith, paying attention instead to deceitful andseductive spirits and doctrines of demons, 

[misled] by the hypocrisy of liars whose consciences are seared as with a branding iron [leaving them incapable of ethical functioning]. There have been many leaving Christianity for the Muslim Faith. Many-Many more will continue leave for The Muslim Faith! It is a very dangerous thing to take one’s eyes off Jesus, to stop studying the Bible & stop the nurturing of one’s personal relationship with Jesus! Those, failed to examine themselves to confirm they are in the Faith! (2 Corinthians 13:5). We must stand firm in our faith! We Must must stand firm on the Word of God! Do not drift right, do not drift left. Keep yourself on the narrow Heavenly Path, holding on to the Truth, to sound Doctrine found in the Bible!

Proverb 4:23-27 (AMP) Watch over your heart with all diligence,

For from it flowthe springs of life.

Put away from you a deceitful (lying, misleading) mouth,

And put devious lips far from you.

Let your eyes look directly ahead [toward the path of moral courage]

And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you [toward the path of integrity].

Consider well andwatch carefully the path of your feet,

And all your ways will be steadfast andsure.

Do not turn away to the right nor to the left [where evil may lurk];

Turn your foot from [the path of] evil.

Will You Be The Lord’s Vessel?

 We, as Born-Again Christians, face a great dilemma. Many, way too many times, this comes upon each of us & we really have no clue we have stepped over the line, we have been deceived. Even the most careful, the most cautious Christian is duped into. I know it has happened to me, way too many times. I am supposed to be a guy well versed in the works of the enemy, but my flesh can rise up & BAM! I lost some ground to the enemy! We are to be, as Born-Again Christians, “vessels” for our Lord to work through. But too many times, anger rises up through our flesh. Road rage is a perfect example of this, talking about politics is another that the enemy loves to work through. But anger in general is a mighty work of the enemy! One of Satan’s favorite tactics or powerful weapons, is the attempting to work anger through our flesh! We have power over it. We can reject it. But for some reason we miss it, we are blindsided by it & it flows, overtaking our walk of peace & sound mind! Anger is of hate not love! Once, we succumb to that initial dark spiritual move of anger into our flesh, if we allow it to flow, at that point we become one of Satan’s “vessels.” Let that sink in! And OH, how easy it flows! Anger if not rejected, turns into rage, then the words we speak lead us deeper down on that slippery slope of sin! We must stay alert! We Must crucify our flesh daily! We cannot be deceived & become “vessels” promoting the “fruit” of Satan! Give him no place, do not leave a door even cracked open! He will persist, he will sneak around, just waiting, looking for any opportunity to slip into your flesh, moving you off the Triumphant Christian Lifestyle! Remain a “vessel” for Christ!!

Joshua 24:15 (AMP)  If it is unacceptable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you live; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

Stop The Anger

 Have you noticed all the anger, all the rage, we face everyday? On social media, in stores, in Churches, in homes & even in traffic, especially on the road. Even among Christians. Emotions go from zero to 100mph in rage not in two seconds, but in an instant anger, but in instant out of control rage! What has happened to self control? To patience? 2nd Timothy 1:4-8 (AMP) For by these He has bestowed on us His precious and magnificent promises [of inexpressible value], so that by them you may escape from the immoral freedom that is in the world because of disreputable desire, and become sharers of the divine nature.For this very reason, applying your diligence [to the divine promises, make every effort] in [exercising] your faith to, develop moral excellence, and in moral excellence, knowledge (insight, understanding), and in yourknowledge, self-control, and in yourself-control, steadfastness, and in yoursteadfastness, godliness, and in yourgodliness, brotherly affection, and in yourbrotherly affection, [develop Christian] love [that is, learn to unselfishly seek the best for others and to do things for their benefit]. For as these qualitiesare yours and are increasing [in you as you grow toward spiritual maturity], they will keep you from being useless and unproductive in regard to the true knowledge andgreater understanding of our Lord Jesus Christ. I tell you this very important point concerning anger/rage is something that is not from God! It is a fleshly thing. Satan works it through your flesh, if we allow anger to rise up, Satan is walking in victory! Hear me, if you can refuse the anger rising up in your flesh, when you feel it coming on, Say: Get behind me Satan, in the name of Jesus! Say, anger, stand down, in the name of Jesus! It will work! Work, every time! There is zero love in anger & rage, they are attributes of the enemy! We prove to the world that we belong, we follow, we are disciples of Christ, by what? Our love for people! John 13:5 (AMP) By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you have love andunselfish concern for one another. Anger will lead to rage & into if possible, deeper sins! Stop it when it first rises up! Shake it off!!

Psalm 37:8 (AMP) Cease from anger and abandon wrath;

Do not fret; it leadsonly to evil.

Walk In Love

 As we walk through this world of hate, of evil & of darkness, we must remain strong in our walk with our Lord. We must not be tainted, not be overtaken nor become like this world that is full of hatred & misplaced love! The Bible is explicit concerning these last days! People of this world will grow more & more ungrateful, unholy & unloving! They will become brutal & haters of those things that are good! We, as Born-Again Christians must NOT follow along, step NOT into the flow of the sensual pleasure seeking world! We must NOT let our love walk slip! We must continue in the love of Christ to overcome the hate, the evil & the calloused ways of this perverse world! John 13:34 (AMP) I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too are to love one another. Love overcomes, love overcomes hate, love overcomes ALL things! Proverb 10:2 (AMP) Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers andoverwhelms all transgressions [forgiving and overlooking another’s faults]. We must walk upright in this perverse world. As we move though this darkness, we absolutely positively must remain in the love of Christ, sharing that love & we must keep the light of Christ & His love penetrating this dark & hateful world, how? Coming forth & shining brightly from our very beings! Walking in the love of Christ, walking in the mercy of Christ & walking in the Righteousness of Christ! When in doubt: Walk in love!

2nd Timothy 3:1-5 (AMP)  But understand this, that in the last days dangerous times [of great stress and trouble] will come [difficult days that will be hard to bear]. For people will be lovers of self [narcissistic, self-focused], lovers of money [impelled by greed], boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy andprofane, [and they will be] unloving [devoid of natural human affection, calloused and inhumane], irreconcilable, malicious gossips, devoid of self-control [intemperate, immoral], brutal, haters of good,traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of [sensual] pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of [outward] godliness (religion), although they have denied its power [for their conduct nullifies their claim of faith]. Avoid such people andkeep far away from them.

Be A Light In A Dark World

 If we proclaim to be Christians, then our appearance should very well appear to be people of Light, not giving the appearance of darkness! A truly Born-Again Christian would not partake, would not touch nor enjoy the things of darkness. A truly Born-Again Christian would not profess Jesus as the Lord of their life, yet, then turn around, commit adultery, start playing around in/with the things that the god of this world offers! Furthermore, why do you profess Jesus as your Lord, but yet, you enjoy the offerings of this present world, which in turn is pleasing to Satan? We absolutely positively must strive to do the things that please our Lord, Jesus! Living the God-kind of upstanding, moral life with emphasis on righteousness, goodness & truth to emulate from your being to penetrate the very dark, very evil world! Some will accept Jesus by your words, but, many will accept Jesus as they watch you, study you, trying to find out why you are different! Do they/will they find you/myself different from the rest of this world, as they watch us very closely? 

Ephesians 5:8-11 (AMP) For once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of Light [live as those who are native-born to the Light] (for the fruit [the effect, the result] of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth), trying to learn [by experience] what is pleasing to the Lord [and letting your lifestyles be examples of what is most acceptable to Him—your behavior expressing gratitude to God for your salvation]. Do not participate in the worthless andunproductive deeds of darkness, but instead expose them [by exemplifying personal integrity, moral courage, and godly character].
