We live in times that are very discouraging for the believer in Jesus Christ. The darkness that has covered the land seems to have dimmed the light of Jesus Christ in the world. Many believers are discouraged and overwhelmed with what they’re seeing in society today, and even within the houses of God.
Many believers have become comfortably numb with the state of the church and the condition of their environment, and even their own relationship with the Lord. I know what I see going on hear in America, churches filled with entertainment and the doctrine of anything goes!
I hear the cry of many wanting a leader to lead them and challenge them spiritually!
I tell you to wake up out of your slumber and self-righteousness, and look to the only One Jesus Christ. Lift Him up in all things!
John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
Lift up the Lord Jesus Christ in all things and conversations!
Stop looking for vices, stop looking at regulations, and religion to satisfy your burdened soul. Stop giving in to temptation!
Pick up your cross and follow Jesus Christ!
Do you realize that He is coming soon?
The modern day church is filled with the world and has no power of Jesus Christ!
We have taken God and His Word out of the Church and, out of our lives.
Once again we have looked to the world for our council. We’re seeking advice from the world. We have considered the ways of the world to replace the standards of God. We have taken our time of prayer, and studying the Word of God, and have replaced it with the new thing that we feel is effective and it feeds our flesh.
Many have become so engrossed in there religion that their eye’s have become spiritually blind and their heart’s have become hard and cold as ice.
Many have become worse than lukewarm and they are cold and their hearts are hardened from the truth. The conviction of the Holy Ghost no longer affects them.
These things can be very disappointing and discouraging to the true believer in Jesus Christ.
Walking in the truth and choosing to separate your self from the evils that are consuming many believers will bring persecution from many.
The truth is hated and despised by the majority. Because the truth is convicting and the revelation of reality is brought forth like a mirror to reflect your true image and state of being. It exposes the sin that is in your life!
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
You might say Dan I’m fine!
God’s Word is final and your sin is killing you, sometimes hard and sometimes softly.
It’s time for Christians to wake up, pick up your cross and follow Jesus Christ.
The time is soon coming when you will be faced with a decision to stand for Jesus Christ or to deny Him.
In all truth a life filled with self will instead of God’s will is binding evidence against you for denying Jesus Christ already.
The problem is that many have turned away to return to a life they once lead or to just follow the world.
John 21:1-25 1 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.
2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.
3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
If the Lord Jesus Christ is not the center focus of the Church and the Holy Ghost is being restricted from oper
