Be Careful that the Light in you is not Darkness! 🧵

Luke 11:35
Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
Do you belong to His church? Are you among the few who are on the narrow path to heaven?

Matthew 7:13
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat.
If you died today, would you go to heaven? If you stood before God and He asked why He should let you into heaven, what would you say?
Luke 13:25-28
When once the Master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, LORD, LORD, open unto us; and He shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in Thy presence, and Thou hast taught in our streets. But He shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from Me, all ye workers of iniquity.
There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
Just going to church does not make you a Christian, anymore than being in an oven makes you a biscuit! And, you are not born into Christianity!
There will be many who even do miracles in His Name, but they don’t belong to Him. False prophets and teachers!

Matthew 7:22-23
Many will say to Me in that day, LORD, LORD, have we not prophesied in Thy Name? and in Thy Name have cast out devils?
And in Thy Name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.
How do you know if you’re His child? If you love Him, you will keep His commandments!

John 14:15
If ye love Me, keep My commandments.
John 15:9-10
As the Father hath loved Me, so have I loved you: continue ye in My love. If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide in My love; even as I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in His love.
Have you turned from your sin to Him? Have you called upon His Name for salvation? Are you walking in His Light?
Acts 26:18
To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to Light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in Me.
1 John 1:5-7
This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is Light, and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
But if we walk in the Light, as He is in the Light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.
A child was once asked how a person gets to heaven! His childlike reply? He dies!

No, although many people seem to think this is the case, it’s not! If you die without Jesus Christ as your Savior, you will face eternal damnation! Eternity burning in the lake of fire!
Where would you spend eternity if you died today?

John 14:21,23-24
He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and He that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love Him, and will manifest Myself to him.
[23] Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love Me, he will keep My Words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him.
He that loveth Me not keepeth not My sayings: and the Word which ye hear is not Mine, but the Father's which sent Me.
Have you passed from death unto life?

John 5:24
He that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
But not only hearing His Word, but turning from sin, following Him and walking in obedience to His commandments!

James 2:19
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
Examine your heart today. Make certain the light in you is not darkness!

Now the serpent was more subtle… 🧵

Lord, Keep our eyes fixed on You, keep our hearts fixed on You. Though we walk through life surrounded by snakes, and by wolves in sheep clothing, help us to have Your discernment, and not to fear.
Thank You that even if a viper attaches itself to us, we like Paul will shake it off, and suffer no harm. That people may marvel at Your great power to Your children.
You said when we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, when we pass through the waters, and the fires, You will protect us. You will keep us from the day of trouble. You hold our hand. You say unto us, fear ye not! Thank You LORD!

Setting Our Will To His — Overcoming Despar!

Sometimes we don’t ‘feel’ like moving forward. Sometimes it ‘feels’ like our lives will always be ruled by our past, or the consequences of our sins.
Sometimes we may ‘feel’ distraught by what ‘feels’ like an endless cycle of hope and despair.

In these times of hopelessness and despair, we must remember that faith is not a ‘feeling’!

Faith is believing in the faithfulness of the LORD and His Word!
The Word tells us that faith supersedes ‘feeling’! Faith believes even when we don’t see or ‘feel’hope!

Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Don’t Shrink Back!

Did you begin your journey with the LORD with zeal and determination to follow Him always, to obey His Word, to love and serve Him with all your heart?
Where are you today? Have you shrunk back from that? Are you continuing to stand up and stand strong against evil, or have you fallen back into it?
Do you speak out about the immoral practices in our world? Things like abortion, homosexuality, adultery, fornication, and others sins, or have you like some accepted these, or even practice them?

The Breath Of The LORD!

Our very breath comes from the LORD! His breath gave man life in the beginning at creation, and His breath sustains us each day that we live.
Genesis 2:7
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Job 12:10
In Whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
Dear child of God, if we truly understood that our life began and continues in this world only as long as He gives us each breath, we would not only fear God, but we would not fear death.

Thy Kingdom Come!

When Jesus taught His disciples how to pray, one thing He said was that they should pray to their Father in heaven that His kingdom would come, and that His Will would be done on earth just as it is done in heaven!
As I thought about this part of what has become known as the LORD’S prayer, it struck me that this prayer won’t be fully answered until Jesus reigns upon this earth during the millennium!
Here is Luke’s account of what Jesus reply was to them about how to pray!

Luke 11:1-4
And it came to pass, that, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said unto Him, LORD, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

Perception!

How do you view the world? How do you view other people? How do you view yourself?

Perception is defined as ‘physical sensation interpreted in the light of experience.’
Often we look at the world, ourselves, and others based on things that have happened to us in the past. Did you grow up in a family that was filled with strife and division? Were your parents divorced? Were you abused?
Our circumstances and experiences in life frame our perception.

Having grown up in a home without a Dad present because of divorce, it was hard for me to understand a loving heavenly Father.
