Time to repent:
Stop stealing, lying, cheating and all dishonest activity.
Stop getting high even if it is legal!
Start praying for GOD’s will not what you want; start
reading your Bible everyday and thinking about what it is saying to you.
Start going to a local Church where the Bible is the focus
of teaching and join in the activities there; Sunday School, men’s and women’s
group, home group, accountability (discipleship) group.
The point: It’s time to stop thinking that something you did
a long time ago is going to save you!
If you are not living in GOD’s Spirit and walking in GOD’s Word
then you are not walking in GOD’s salvation.
Study John to understand GOD and salvation; study Matthew to
understand how to live your life and salvation; study Revelation to understand
the times we live in and salvation; study all of the Old Testament and all of the
New Testament to know GOD and His eternal plan for His creation and salvation.
The time of preparation in the wilderness is almost over and
the time of warfare is almost upon us! Yes they were attacked in the wilderness
and had warfare but mostly they just complained about how much they missed
their old life and tried to hold on to it as much as possible.
We are called to resist the devil standing fast in the liberty
in which Christ had made us free so that the gates of hell do not prevail
against GOD’s Church. This requires us to be conformed to the image of Christ
through the fellowship of His suffering having His mind set of obedience to the
Father even to the death, by the power of His resurrection.
We will be called to stand in the face of overwhelming odds
to deny Jesus Christ and to take the mark of GOD’s enemy. Thus rejecting our
salvation for eternity (this is the real warfare of GOD’s Kingdom).
The timing is the Father’s the obedience is ours:
We can be like the Israelites that were led out of bondage
in Egypt (salvation experience) and wandered in the wilderness never entering
into the promised land because of their desire for comfort and not wanting to
personally relate to GOD but letting Moses and Aaron do that for them (not bothering
to know the Word of GOD and just letting others tell us what to believe). This
resulted in their dying in the wilderness and not entering the Promised Land.
There is a difference between their promised land and ours;
they had to attack and capture theirs and we have to stand fast to hold ours!
You do not have the right to do what you want! GOD created
you, formed you in your mother’s womb gifting and calling you for His Kingdom,
He pursued you to salvation and filled you with His Holy Spirit. He gave you
the choice of salvation or damnation. We were born into sin and eternal
damnation and He, before He created the earth, planned our salvation but He
does not make anyone accept it; His incentives are both pleasant and painful
but they lead away from eternal damnation and to eternal life.
