LIVING IN THE LIGHT OF CHRIST'S RETURN
Greetings in the name of Jesus:
In Thessalonians 3: Paul writes: " Finally, brothers, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you. And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men, for not everyone has faith."
I am thinking that needs to be our prayer for each other in the days ahead of us; because we see the wold changing before our very eyes with regard to having faith in God. More than ever before these are becoming confusing times with people from all directions shouting from the roof tops that they have the real truth...when all along the real truth was that first truth from God which has been with us from the beginning with Christ Jesus. It has been that truth which has been tested and tried for over two thousand years now; and which in my own life has been proven real over and over again.
There is a fearce battle that rages just below the surface of the lives that each one of us live. While I find myself praying for protection from the evil one; my main concern is that the world around me will not fall to the many claims that are flooding the media waves across this world today that literally are taking all hope away from people for an eternal life with God through making claims that we are merely beings that have been created by other being such as we are, and that there is no God involved at all! While in my own mind I have to ask who then is responsible for their creation? I know that such a message from this world is meant to be destructive to the truth from God's word by simply posing yet another question that has no immediate answer; I also know a scam when I see one.
We can easily go back to Romans 6: 10-19 to read about the armor of God in protecting ourselves from these attacks on our faith, but we also may want to pray and teach a few other things:
1. We need to take these attacks from evil seriously. 2. We need to pray for a continued help and strength from God, not just when we feel we are being attacked. 3. We need to make ourselves get into the habit of reading (and studying ) the bible on a daily basis so that it is a source that we can turn to no matter where we find ourselves. 4. There are scriptures that we need to memorize so that the power of God's word cannot be stripped from us under any condition. 5. We need to begin to associate with people who speak the truth because we will become like those whom we allow to teach us. 6. We must put into practice those things we are taught through the truth of God's Spirit; and I believ with all my heart that we can know the truth from a lie when we pay attention to what is being presented to us in this world.
There are many very lazy people in this world who will simply take someone else's word for truth because they are too weak to find the truth for themselves. These are the majority of people who will pay someone else to think, act, or pray for them instead of seeking a personal relationship with God for themselves. My friends these are the people who will wake someday soon being very disappointed when Christ tells them: "DEPART FROM ME...FOR I NEVER KNEW YOU"! I pray that we can keep this truth in front of those who so desperately need it in this world. May you richly bless God through your life in Him.
