Do you have peace in your life?
Truly; do you have peace in your life??
If not, you might question who you are serving.
If not, you might want to question where your teasers are stored.
If not, you might consider humbling your self before the Lord Jesus,
Humbly repent of your disobedience of GOD’s word and His commandments, ask to be forgiven, turn from your worldly ways and turn to Christ Jesus, as your Lord, truly repent, turn from your sins, and turn to Jesus.
Or keep going the direction you are headed and go to hell; the choice is yours.
Jesus stands at the door knocking waiting for those who will answer, those who will except His free gift of salvation.
]The liar Saten stands saying come on let’s go play, lets go and make ourselves feel better, lets gather more wealth, lets gather more power, lets do what ever we want, you can still go to church but once you’re through playing church, let’s get back to pleasing our self.
Let’s go watch the ball game, let’s go plan our next business deal, lets get back to planning our life out the way we want it to be, look how wide of a path I give you to travel down, and how wide the gate is, it is wide so that all can enter in.
Take a look at those Christians they walk a narrow path and have to go through that little tiny small gate.
See how much more loving I am compared to GOD; I love you so I will let you do what ever you want the more you bless yourself the more I will bless you for.
So, store up for yourself money, store up for yourself things, don’t share with those in need only with those who view things the way we do.[
It is your choice to make,
Heaven, of hell.
Will you listen to our Lord Jesus or will you listen to satin and his demands? That choice is your will it be Heaven, of hell.
GOD will is that no one goes to hell but if that is your choice, He will not break your will, He will allow you to succeed.
John 3:16
¶ “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.
For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.”
1Peter 5:6-11
¶ Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.
After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you. To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen.
A. Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God,
Matthew 23:12
“Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.
Luke 18:9-14
¶ And He (Jesus) also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt:
“Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself: ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
‘I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.’
But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, the sinner!’
I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
B. casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you
Matthew 6:25
¶ “For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
C. Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
1Peter 1:12
It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which angels long to look.
D. But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world
1Peter 1:13- 2:3
¶ Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance,
but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written,
“YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY.”
¶ If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay on earth; knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.
For He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared in these last times for the sake of you who through Him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
¶ Since you have in obedience to the truth purified your souls for a sincere love of the brethren, fervently love one another from the heart, for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God.
“ALL FLESH IS LIKE GRASS, AND ALL ITS GLORY LIKE THE FLOWER OF GRASS. THE GRASS WITHERS, AND THE FLOWER FALLS OFF, BUT THE WORD OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER.”
And this is the word which was preached to you.
¶ Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander, like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.
Matthew 24:42
¶ “Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming.
James 4: 7-8
Submit therefore to God.
Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Main take a way here:
God loves you, and has the best for you, it does not come with out a bit of trial and tribulation, the word is not going to like you at times. satin is looking to destroy anyone he can.
But we are told resist the devil, stop listening to his lies, and he will flee from you, Draw near to God, humble yourself and turn from sin in your life, stop trying to take part in the world and the things of this world, you can not serve two masters, stop being double minded.
Get off the fence, stop playing church, and find out who you are in Christ.
A quick not from GOD
Proverbs 3:1-7
¶ My son, do not forget my teaching,
But let your heart keep my commandments;
For length of days and years of life
And peace they will add to you.
Do not let kindness and truth leave you;
Bind them around your neck,
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
So you will find favor and good repute
In the sight of God and man.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the LORD and turn away from evil.
The choice is yours to make.
Don’t be deceived, you are making the choice every day,
And you will receive; ether the reward and blessing of hearing those word “enter in my good and faithful, or the most gut-wrenching words any one will ever hear “depart from Me for I never knew you.”
The choice is yours
