“God is answering my prayer, I know God is with me” 🙏🏼 🙏🏾
I hear what you’re saying 📢
BUT, even so, you could find yourself LOST for eternity 🔥
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
IF YOU don’t READ ALL what is written here,
you may MISS an important message!
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
FOR
God says in the Last Days,
“ALL those who call on Me, I will answer” ☎️ 🔻1
BUT
God also says,
“you have made Me to serve WITH your SINS” 🔻2
AS you can see, God may be ANSWERING your prayers,
but that’s NOT a sign you are “saved”!?
Well no.
That could be a sign that God is
answering your prayers, in spite of your sins.
AND
if you die, without opportunity to confess your sins – or if you are stubbornly clinging to sin when your TIME runs OUT, then you will have THROWN away the greatest FREE gift that has ever been given to mankind 🔻3
NO ONE is saved ONCE – we are saved DAILY – “I die daily,” writes Paul, For Jesus told us in Matt.24:13, “only those that endure to the END, shall be saved”! This statement can ONLY be understood in the context of “dying daily” – NOT just ONCE when you were baptized! (As important as that is, as the first step towards perfection) 🔻4
Perfection is a daily walk.
But your walk is slipping backwards, if you know a thing is sin, and you foolishly cling to it, thinking – “Oh, it’s just a small thing. Surely God will overlook it” ….
DID God overlook the small sin of Adam and Eve? 🔻5
After all, in our society today, we see nothing wrong
with the eating of a good piece of fruit, now do we?
Yet, if we are gluttonous, we are in sin eating fruit.

EVEN
Jesus’ apostles were in danger,
for He said to Peter, “Get behind Me Satan….”. “Satan hath desired
to have you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for thee,
that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy
brethren” 🔻6
Jesus asked Peter, James and John (His closest apostles out of the 12)
to “watch and pray.” When He found them sleeping, instead of praying,
He said, “the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak” 🔻7
THAT was NOT an endorsement by Jesus for a “weak” spirit.
In fact,
Jesus knew that their “faith may fail” (Luke 22:32)
He then advised them to sell a garment in order to buy a sword, which is not an ideal place to be – because, He also warned, “they that live by the sword, will die by the sword” 🔻8
If, our faith is that weak, and we are in danger of dying in our sins, then we need to defend ourselves with swords, or guns 🔫
Jesus want us to have strong enough faith, that we may be ready to face death head on, because we have confessed every sin, and have made ourselves ready for the outpouring of His Spirit! 🙋🏽 🙋🏼
We don’t have the luxury of time on our side any more.
Time is running out ⌛️. We need to learn from the lessons of Peter, James and John, not use them as an EXCUSE for sin.
Paul tells us that these things which happened in the past are for “examples” for us living in the present (I Corinthians 10:11-15) 👈🏼 👆🏾 👍🏻~~~~~~~~~
IF evil is entering into your gates 👹, there are only TWO reasons why evil is there:
A. for TESTING:
— as in the case of Job, who God told Lucifer, “My servant, Job…is perfect”
— or Abraham, who kept failing, UNTIL he finally passed the last & greatest test 🔻9
B. or, because you open the door to evil,
— when you do NOT “die daily to self” first thing every morning(I Cor.15:31)
the demonic realm is “default” setting for your life that day(I Pet.5:8)
The division between good and evil is growing greater and greater. We will either be pulled in one direction or the other. 🔚🔜
We are not clever enough to escape the traps devils have set out for us ♨️ – for,
“if it were possible, the very elect would be deceived” (Matt.24:24)
Jesus said, “He that is not WITH Me is AGAINST Me; and he that gathereth not with Me scattereth abroad” (Matt.12:30)
Each morning we ARE deciding to be “for” or “against” God.
Even, if we make no decision. No decision is a decision “against” God
If on the morning you wake up and you have NOT cast your vote to stand WITH Jesus, then that just may be the morning you are LOST forever.
IF you do not FIRST fill your mind with God’s word, then you allow your mind to be left open for the EVIL to waltz right in to FILL the void.
And, if during the day, you allow your mind to dwell on impure images, then you are going contrary to Philippians 4:8 (“whatsoever things are pure…think on these things”)
Pray immediately upon waking, and study God’s word before you do anything. Your day will be filled with less worry or stress. And you will find more time to complete ALL you have planned, according to God’s will 😚
Just remember this – God loves you and will do ALL in His power to save you, for “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation [Substitute] for our sins.” (I John 4:10)
