Do you really LOVE the Lord?

Do you really love the Lord that is the question? Yes I did and as a child I had all the love in my heart. I got saved when I was 12 at the AWANA program in Steilacoom at that church next to Albertsons and in my twenties I soon began to fall away from the Lord. I loved making money, kicking it with my homies, and getting females. Did I really love the Lord? I though since I was saved and that justified loving the Lord. In truth I didn't love the Lord, I loved the world. I loved doing what I wanted to do,  I loved kicking it, and loved making money. I still was a Christian going through struggles and living the double minded. Proffessing a love for Jesus but doing a total opposite of what he preaches. You know the saying actions speak louder than words is so true. With my actions I was pledging my alligence with the devil.  I was a blinded prisoner of the devil that was lost and my love for the things of the world  was stronger than my love for Jesus.

Our God is good and Jesus never left my side. The holy spirit began working in me and the things that I loved before wouldn't interest me anymore. When I did partake the holy spirit would convict me and I would feel bad after. I soon began to read the word, study great evangalists, and even write down some of my thoughts. God began to take the blindfolds off my eyes and break the shackles off my hands. I looked at bible verses like Mattew 22:37 which states the greatest commandment is to love the Lord with all your heart and John 14:15 which Jesus says if you love me keep my commandments. These two verses inspired me to write this post, God showed me that I am a sinner and I must ask for forgiveness. We all fall short of Gods glory, we must repent for our sins and keep the Lord Jesus Christs commandments. By keeping the Lords commandmends we show our love for the Lord Jesus Christ. Do you really love the Lord?

May God Bless!!!

No middle ground.

What's going on everyone today the Holy Spirit has lead me to talk about middle ground. The subject of middle ground caught my attention and I noticed several people believe that there actually is a middle ground. The Jesus states in Mathew 12:30 that if you are not for him then you are against him. Many have been lead astray by the lies of the enemy. The devil wants you to believe that there are many roads that lead to God or that if you be a good person that is enough to get you to Heaven and that there is a middle ground to stand on. My people DO NOT BELIEVE THE LIE. If you do believe some of the lies that are out there you choose to side with the enemy. I look at biblical history and look at Eve. She lived in paradise talked with GOD and had dominion over all living creatures but her downfall was that she believed a LIE of the devil which made her rebell against God. Could you imagine talking to GOD everyday and still get tricked into believing a LIE. Man that was in the beginning and in our time there are so many lies out there it is much easier for people to get led astray. Jesus is the TRUTH, the WAY, and the LIFE. There is no middle ground, you are either with Jesus or against him. Man I love my people and if you do not have a relationship with Jesus and accepted him as your Lord and Savior now is the time. Don't keep standing on that middle ground my friends.  Feel free to message me or call if you need prayer. God Bless!!!

We are all going through it.

As I continue to talk to others about the Lord I begin to hear a common theme on why they are not saved. People tend to look at Christians and think once we are saved we don't go through the same struggle as those who are not saved go through. Our flesh is still part of us and we all have battles we are going dealing with until Jesus returns.  Are you ready for spiritual war? Ready or not we were all born in it and battle everyday between the flesh and the spirit.

The enemy continues to fool the world, we must break the cycle of LIES and believe the Truth which is Jesus Christ. Like I said before we are all going through battles and the LIE that those who are not saved continue to believe is that of our Salvation. What Salvation is defined as is DELIVERANCE from sin and its consequences by faith in Jesus Christ. For example Bill may see his friend John at local bar. Bill is unsaved and John is saved. John has been battling alcohol addiction for years and continues to struggle to the hold the enemy has on him. John is saved so he is covered in the Blood of Christ. His sins in the past, present, and future are already forgiven through Jesus Christ. John's Salvation was paid for once Jesus died on the cross and John put his faith in Jesus. Bill sees John at the bar and knows John is a Christian. This is where the enemy begins to work to Bill believes the LIE. Bill says to himself that is why I don't go to church and am not saved. I see John over here at the bar today and then at church on Sunday. Bill is believing the LIE of the enemy on Salvation. Bill sees John and says to himself John is at the same bar I am at so what is the difference. Bill only sees in the flesh and doesn't see in the spirit. Bill would rather continue doing things on his own and not getting help from The Lord. He would rather believe a LIE of the enemy than accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Bill looks at John and finds a reason to justify why he isn't saved, he also is willing to risk his own Salvation because he believes a LIE. I have to come back to Ephesians 6:12, our battle is not flesh and blood it is with powers of darkness in Heavenly Places, so Bill is fighting a enemy he can't even see. He is seeing with the fleshly eyes to justify matters of the spirit. The Holy Spirit fights the battle for us in the Heavenly places and is a gift that God gives freely to all his children. The Holy Spirit lives in John tries to guide him in the right direction and leads him to asking The Lord for forgivness of his sins.

The point of the story that we ALL are gonna go through it until Jesus returns. We ALL battle everday with our flesh and spirit.It is all about your relationship with God. Whatever Christians and non Christians are doing is between them and God alone. Who are we to judge? Whether you believe in the devil or not he is still gonna attack you Christian or not.  Don't be like Bill, put your FAITH in Jesus Christ and get the gift of Salvation. If anyone need prayer I am availible just shoot me a message. Let the road to Salvation start today. May God Bless!!
