What If ?

What If?

In our lifetime there is always challenges, choices and decisions. But there is one question that some may ask. And it is, " Suppose this was my last day on earth?" How would I really act? Would I go and call friends and loved ones? Would I give everything I own away? Maybe I would fast and pray for direction from the Lord. This could be a very hard decision if we didn't  know whether we are going to Heaven or not. This could be a place of examination of our actions and how we've treated others. Could repenting to God make this easier? What If?

      Through the short time we have on earth. I am reminded of God's  instructions on how we should live by His Word. One scripture that makes this point is  in,

2 Peter 1:3-4 

"His divine power has given us everything we need to experience life and to reflect God’s true nature through the knowledge of the One who called us by His glory and virtue. 4 Through these things, we have received God’s great and valuable promises, so we might escape the corruption of worldly desires and share in the divine nature."

* God took the first step to rescue us from this corrupt world. He has granted us His power, revealed to us true knowledge, and spoken to us great promises. He has done all this for a reason: that we might participate in His own nature and reflect His own life. But we are not passive observers of God’s saving actions. We must receive His grace, grow in knowledge, and join Him in this work of redemption.

   So the answer is clear to, What If?  We serve a Loving God that rescued us from death unto life. And  He gave us everything we need through this transitional stage of life. We don't have to wonder,  What if God gave us one day to stay on earth.

 God has made it simple be  obedient and live according to His Will. 

If you have a question about where you are spending eternity. And you haven't  received Jesus as your Lord. Repent of your sins and invite Him in your life today. And you will never have to live a questionable life. Amen

Be Not Dismayed!!!

While we as Christains can see by the signs of the times, we are in the Last Days.  Ok some may say for generations people have said the same words. People its worst, darkness is covering the earth. And we must maintain our light of God to beam bright in a sin sick world. I want to encourage those that are working in this last harvest. Do not be discouraged in your heart and minds. God will strengthen everything we put our hands to. He will be glorified! This is Gods answer to these things....

Words of encouragement to drive out Discouragement! 

 

Joshua 1:9

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

John16:33

I've said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

Romans 8:31

 When shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Philippians 4:8

  Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Colossians 3:1-4

 

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

Preparing for Battle

Preparing for Battle

As prophecy is being revealed at a  rapid speed. We can look back and see how the enemy has been setting up events for this moment. Weeks ago a well known celebrity chose to come out as another gender. Then weeks later the Supreme Court ruling on Same-Sex marriages. And before we can get over this news, here comes more wickedness. A man walks in a Church, ask for the Pastor( Which they accept with Love in their Bible Study) guns down 9 people.  Now we are faced with more terrorism  by the burning of Churches here in the U.S. as if it's 1960's. News agency's are now preparing us for terrorist attacks from Isis at Holiday Celebrations. Weather patterns  are changing before our eyes. And people are in fear blaming men instead of seeing who is really behind these acts. God has warned us in His Word that these things must come to pass. 

        Just this week I had a mini vision, " That we must be sensitive to the Holy Spirit to receive direction in this hour." There are Spiritual mine fields that are full of snares and traps of the enemy that awaits our every step. We need the Holy Spirit to reveal where they are by shining the Light of God on them. As we go deeper in these last hours we must walk in the Spirit and  choose to stay in Love. Not by the way we feel but by choice. It's the only way we will be victorious. Arm yourselves in the Word of God and the leading of His Spirit. Stay Blessed!

Here's a translation from the Message Bible that goes in detail...

Ephesians 6:11-18The Message (MSG)

A Fight to the Finish

10-12 And that about wraps it up. God is strong, and he wants you strong. So take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws your way. This is no afternoon athletic contest that we’ll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels.

13-18 Be prepared. You’re up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it’s all over but the shouting you’ll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You’ll need them throughout your life. God’s Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other’s spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out.
