Walking in Truth

Jesus said that He is the only way. Many people in our society claim to “like” Jesus, but they aren’t going to follow Him. They’re too attached to the comforts of the flesh, entrenched in a selfish way of life, where the focus is all about serving their own desires or egos. As Pastor Johnny will remind you in today’s message, no matter how “good” you think you are… no matter how generous or kind you are, if it’s all done apart from the love of Christ, it lacks any eternal value.

Where is your focus? If you’re driving a car, your attention is hopefully on the road in front of you. If it drifts onto that last text notification or to adjusting the climate controls, the results of that momentary diversion can be catastrophic. As Pastor Johnny addresses the issue of distractions in our Christian lives, he reminds us of the importance of focus. As you walk the narrow path with Jesus, it’s vital that you keep your eyes on Him, because the consequences of a wandering heart can be very painful.

Most of us long for power in some form. Whether it’s in your relationships, careers, or even just over your own emotions, nobody likes to feel helpless. Many people spend their entire lives running after that sense of control or authority. Some are successful in attaining that superficial position, while some are not. Regardless where you fall, as Pastor Johnny will explain in today’s message, the only true source of power is God, and anything else will leave you empty and disappointed.

Today, Pastor Johnny will be challenging you to test yourself to see whether or not y ou are in the faith. Going to church won't save you, or get you into Heaven. Trying to be a better person than you were, won't get you into Heaven either. The only way you can be saved is through the grace of God alone. Once you are saved, you're in a constant state of being sanctified. You will always be a work in progress until the Lord comes again, or takes you home to be with Him!

As Pastor Johnny continues his teaching series through the Book of 2 Thessalonians, he'll be warning you against hardening your heart toward the things of God. The main characteristic of those that will be left on the Earth during the tribulation period is hardness of heart. As a Christian you still need to purpose to keep your heart softened to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Choosing to participate in deliberate sin will take you down a dark path, and ultimately you're heart could grow cold toward the things of God.

Have you ever looked around at whats happening in current events and how humanity is becoming so much more violent, and thought to yourself, the End has to be near? Today, Pastor Johnny will be exhorting you to be the salt and light in this wicked world. There will be a time when the Holy Spirit stops restraining the Anti-Christ and He will take you out of this world to be with Him. Use this time while you're still here to preach the Gospel to the lost, and to guide people to Jesus.

If you've ever been confused about what's going to take place prophetically regarding the End Times, Pastor Johnny will be clarifying them to you today. In the letters Paul wrote to the Thessalonians, he constantly encouraged them to live as though Jesus was returning at any moment. That encouragement wasn't just meant for the early church, it's even more so meant for you! You're living in even more interesting times, now that Israel is a nation again, the prophetic time table has already begun.

As Pastor Johnny continues his teaching series in the book of 2 Thessalonians, he'll be challenging you to forsake all known sin and to whole heartedly follow after the Lord. The Bible say's that you need to receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior before you see Him face to face. The biggest lie the enemy can tell you, is that you have enough time to repent and follow after Jesus. Don't allow your life to be filled with living for yourself and fulfilling the lusts of your flesh. True satisfaction comes from the Lord.

When you see an attack on the institutions that God has established, or an attack on what God calls holy, it's not because of politicians and wicked people. It runs way more deep than that, it's because of Satan and his demonic forces. You don't wrestle against flesh and blood the Bible say's, you wrestle against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness! Today, Pastor Johnny will be explaining to you how the world is setting the stage for the coming of the Antichrist.
