Lust of the World

This is what the Lord says:
Stand at the crossroads and look;
ask for the ancient paths,
ask where the good way is, and walk in it,
and you will find rest for your souls.
But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’ - Jeremiah 6:16
God wants us to be on watch-all of the time for the end time and things that may be ahead. We should be on the good path-no matter what the majority are doing. It doesn't matter about what THOSE people are doing! You are a son of the Most High- A god! You reign with Christ, which is greater than anything else on this world! We have said to God, "No! I will not walk in this path," when He has given us the correct path and we wander off on the wrong one, with danger or death around the corner. God has grabbed us from the brisk of death, and we go and leave Him. Let me tell you a story:
There was once a farmer who was driving down the road. He found an injured dog lying by the side of the road. The farmer stopped and took him to his car and drove home. The farmer nurtured it and cared for it and they soon became friends. One day, the dog was looking out of the window and saw a dog bowl. It suddenly dashed out of the house, leaving the farmer. The farmer thought, I cared for it and it runs away?
The dog in that story is us sometimes. We are found by God, on the brink of death and He saves us and looks after us. But the distractions of the world lure us into sin and we leave the good farmer, to go and live with a bad man. Let's make sure that we stay with God and are not drawn by the lust of Satan.

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!

Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3.  Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers?  Answer: This is because of your heart. Before you ask this question you must ask yourself, am I pure? Have I sinned by mistake and need forgiveness? Or are my thoughts starting to make my light darken? Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...

What is the wisdom of the world to God? FOOLISHNESS!

“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.” 1 Corinthians 3:19 KJV http://bible.com/1/1co.3.19.kjv You see, for new born believers, it takes a while for the fact that they cannot be loved by or be part of the world. Unfortunately, this is usually found out after devastating consequences. In this chapter of 1 Corinthians, verse 19, Paul talks about the Wisdom of God being foolishness to the world. This portrays the relationship between a Christian and the world. THEIR SHOULD'NT BE ONE. No-one can sit on the fence. For those of you trying, you still will belong to the darkness. Until you take a step of faith to reach the light, you and your darkness remain. After becoming a Christian, you are made holy. But maintenance and discipline are needed to keep the holiness and remain pure. People begin to defile this holiness by continuing and re-doing their past life! Don't follow them! Remain pure!  ...
