AbbysAunt metioned a scripture I want to elibrate on a little further with you if I may.Rom 13:11-14 What is presently happeneing in Egypt is no accident,I said at the beginning of this year something major was about to happen,and this is the opening act to it. Our media and stock Market tell us all is well,that things are in proving.Well my brothers and sisters this could not be further from the truth.In times of War the Goverment of a Country puts out what we in Black Ops call a cover Story, a smokescreen,and elibrate russe,something spoken to keep the people calm.We are on the Battlefield,if fact my dear Brothers and Sister we have never left the Battlefield.This is not meant to cause fear in any of you!!This is meant to do what Rom 13:11-14 say wake up those who are sleeping! In the coming days and months people are going to be pushed off of there lukewarm position,and fall on one side or the other,they will either draw very near to the Lord,or very far from him.I am here to draw you to Jesus,all of us are coming through a battle of our own,matters not what others think or say about them,they are in fact our Battle,and as the Body of Christ,we do not judge how you are to fight them,just that you win in doing so!The enemy who is the devil will use any person, or circumstance to unsettle us in any way possible,it is just his nature,to steal,or rob from us,that which we hold so dear! Our LOVE!! one for another! Now is the time to get right,NOW is the time to get into the Word and stay in it,because without Jesus,and without full Faith in what he has told us,many will fall by the way side. Over the past weeks the Holy Spirit has really been teaching me what Faith really is! And what faith is not! Hebrews 11:1 Faith is the assurance of things hoped for,the conviction of things not seen.To me, it is clear what Faith is! As we all know and many are the first to jump in and tell us We are saved by grace!!( Eph 2:8-9!! AMEN!! Praise God we are saved by grace and never by works,ah but wait just a second here!!! Does this grace mean we do not have to have an active Faith? No where in God's Word does is say, we can live anyway we want to and still make it to heaven because of this one scripture!! NO WHERE! quite the opposite!! when you consider such scriptures as Matt 7:21,these people believed!! They are not the so called unsaved many say they are,these people believe just like you and me, that they are going to heaven! So why don't they? Saying I believe in Jesus Christ as my personal Savour does NOT!! I repeat NOT!! SAVE YOU!! James 2:19 says demons believes God is one!! and if you read further!! they have sense enough to fear and tremble!Now some Hard cold truth!! And I say this in all love!! But it is time to wake from your sleep! If we say we believe on Jesus Christ,we are required to DO something about what we profess! When I was drafted into the Military I said I was a Warrior,a Soldier,but saying this did not make it so!! Being in Battle did make it so!! you see action!! James 2:20-26 speaks so much of what real faith is,and what real belief in Jesus really is! Let us look what faith really is!! we know in James 1:22 which I have quoted to you many times,here BE YE what?? YEP doers!! If we say with our Mouth Jesus Christ is Lord,and confess him as Lord,don't we have to act like this is a true statment from our own mouths??YES!!! we do! Abraham Believed God as well!! was his confession good enough??HUMM let us look and see! Let us take a long hard look at father Abraham and see for ourselves shall we? Gen 22:1 God tested Abraham!! verse 2 Take you son, you only son Isaac and go to a land of Moriah and do what???? you guessed it offer him up a burent offerning!!! please read on to verse 9 Abraham bond his own son! and laid him on the alter!! as he streched out his hand to kill his only son,THEN!!! verse 10!! verse 11 The angel of the Lord called to him,not in a whisper either!! he yelled to him!!! This my brothers and sisters is true faith! WORKS!!! perfects our Faith! James 2:22-23 Abraham was called the friend of God not because Abraham said he believed!! but by what he did because he believed!! As are we! Shocking? perhaps,but many churches have taught an easy religion,just say you believe and you will go to heaven! YEA??? Well good luck to them!! because the Word of God teaches something far different! Of course we make mistakes!! Of course we many times fall short of the mark,that is why we have the Blood of our Precious Jesus to wash our sins away!! But NEVER!! EVER stop striving in Jesus!! We are always examining ourselves( 2 Cor 13:5) we are always working!!! out our salvation with fear and trembling!! ( Philp 2:12-13) If we were saved by words alone, why is this scripture in here? You get my point!! I myself have been guilty of taking Jesus much lighter then I should,and I am WORKING on that as well! I more then you all, need to know this truth, and keep it ever present in my mind,so I to do not fail the race!! ( 1Cor 9:23-27) I know there are many here who believe in Once saved always saved,and this I have no problem with as long as we are always working on our Faith,for it is by the working of our Faith that saves us! Not by simple saying ,well I believe in Jesus! Faith without works is!!!! James 2:26!!! DEAD!! Meaning that ones faith NEVER started to begin with! YES!! I want to cause you to think! I want to in love awaken you from your sleep! TIME is something we do not have much of left,and if you are a warrior for Jesus,you are going to be faced with attack!! Is you armor on? ( Eph 6) are you ready to battle? You have some time left,please Get ready! because if one goes to battle with no armor on,and no Word from our Almighty God like David GOT!! ( PLEASE read 1 sam 17!!) then you will not only be defeated by the enemy,but your defeat will be an eternal one! Confession with our mouth,YES!! THEN!! ACTION!! ALWAYS!!! May the Power of our Jesus revel this truth unto you,so that!! 1 Cor 2:5!! So that! YOUR FAITH! would NOt rest!! on the wisdom of men!! But on the POWER of GOD! Power acts!! wisdom of men does not! Blessing to you all!! I just want to wake you,not hurt your feeling in any way!! Jesus in me LOVES each of you!! Because I could never love you,if Jesus had never first loved me!! LOVE creates,let Jesus create in you,don't take Jesus and put him on some book shelf,Jesus came to live inside of you! Will you open the door and let him in? Rev 3:19-22 REPENT!! Open the door ,and let Jesus make you an overcomer in him!! To his Glory!! amen!
