Many people seem eager for the end times to arrive, and, again, I have to ask, "Are you ready to meet your MAKER?"...While reconciliation has been established through CHRIST JESUS, much of what binds us to this reconciliation, has been ignored, pushed aside, even, denied, leaving us in a position of the possibility that *GOD* will not be satisfied with our part in the covenant. Come on, now, you KNOW that we are negligent, in MANY ways! We CANNOT for the life of us, embrace, and, utilize the imperative commandment of LOVE! We are at fault, thus, at risk! JESUS said that if we say we LOVE HIM, but, hate our Brother(s), we are liars, and, therefore, NOT of HIM! LOVE IS the proof of our inclusion in the eternal order, and, we had better learn what this means, WHILE we have the chance to do so!!!
Never forget, HE grafted us into the VINE, CHRIST, TO BE FRUITFUL! Being fruitful means to be one with the whole, righteous, and, growing into spiritual maturity, IN the mentality of BEING one with *GOD*, WHILE being an example of the kind of human *GOD* as CHRIST was, in the flesh. Remember, HE has said that as were some of the original/natural branches were pruned away, so then, also, can be those grafted in, for it IS IMPERATIVE that ALL work together to GLORIFY *GOD*! This means that in thought, action, and, reaction, we are working to exemplify the *GODHEAD*, FOR the whole of GOOD!!!
Yes, *GOD* has stated that HE MIGHT, in the case of those who DID apply themselves, but, made errs along the way, even serious ones, give them one more chance in that final day, however, HE clearly stated, that HE might, so, don't count on it, and, the rest of the message includes turning to HIM with your whole heart(being), which would mean, TRULY, letting go of the world, and, aligning to HIM, HIS WORD, HIS WAYS, HIS WILL! None of us can second guess *GOD*, HIS GENIUS, and, INTENTIONS, and, WAYS are so far removed from us, we can barely understand anything about HIM, let alone what will occur that day of days, and so, to me, it is imperative that we make amends, and, reconcile with HIM, in a spiritually mature, and, reverently, sincere, way! Even IF it weren't required of us to LIVE, totally, in righteousness, for HIS honour, doesn't it make sense to become as wholesomely good as is feasible? I mean, really, HE has done a LOT for us, don't you agree???
FEW seem to understand that in baptism, we are DEAD to the world, therefore, the world should have no holds on us, and, yet, we want it both ways! Scripture after scripture tells us that we should seek that which is of the SPIRIT, and, NOT what is of the world, and, yet, people are so arrogantly, self-assured that they have been saved, that they do not have to become anything than what they are, carnally! CHRIST JESUS, and, *GOD* INSIST that we pattern our lives AFTER their example, so, what does it mean, when *GOD* says, "BE HOLY, BECAUSE I AM HOLY."? Does that mean anything to anyone these days? Does that touch anywhere in your conscience? Does that bring up any fear, or, sorrow, or, regret? In me, it most certainly does, as, I KNOW that I have failed, time, and, again, HOWEVER, that I am TRYING, is a large part of the equation, which I WOULD, because *GOD* means that much to me, and, while I can NEVER repay HIM for ALL HE has bestowed upon me, I CAN HONOUR HIM by becoming the BEST of what lies within me; I can eradicate as much of the worldly hold on my soul, as is feasible, I can learn, constantly, that I am ready come that day when the evil forces WILL come hard, and, fast at those who claim to be safe in *GOD*!!!
*GOD* IS a MOST MERCIFUL, and, FORGIVING *GOD*, for those who have PROVEN themselves to be repentant, sorrowful, humbled, and, regretful of that which they have done against HIS HOLINESS! HE DETESTS sin, sinner, and, all associated with that which is against HIM, and, rightly so, as such behaviours, and, actions, mar what is perfectly beautiful, senselessly, and, emptily! What do you gain from going against *GOD* in even the slightest way? You have much to gain by being WITH HIM, and, even more to lose, should you be found, going against HIM, in those final hours of this life!!!
Do what you have to do, but, seriously, READ, and, DIGEST the ENTIRE WORD, which IS *GOD* exemplified, then, you will SEE that, really, IF YOU DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, you are NOT of HIM! Free will gives you choices, true, but, *GOD* IS HOPING THAT THOSE CHOICES will be geared towards serving, and, LOVING HIM so much, that you will comply to HIS wishes, instructions, and, authority, for this is where TRUE life lies! HE LOVES us so much, HE wants all of HIS Chosen to return home to HIM! To CHOOSE to live in *GOD* IS HEALTHY, REWARDING, COMFORTING, BLESSED, and, RIGHTFUL to whom you really are! All else is distraction, noise, sickness, stress, fear, and, all things negative, BECAUSE they are NOT of *GOD*, instead, of deception, which wants us to fail in our attempts, that we lose the rights of our inheritance!!!
FAITH is part of the covenant, being FAITHFUL is a large part of it, as well! Being FAITHFUL entails a life patterned after the CREATOR, CHRIST JESUS, and, being led by the HOLY SPIRIT, right to eternity! FAITHFULNESS includes LOTS of things, but, mostly, it means that we are willing to BYPASS pleasures of the world, for pleasures of the eternal inheritance! It means we are CONTROLLED, CONSTANT, CONSISTENT, RESISTING, DEVOTED, DELIBERATE, and, otherwise, INVOLVED IN OUR RIGHT TO SALVATION; it means we are PROVING that we 'get' it, and, are, 'with' it!!!
Be careful what you wish for, for IF ALL the inner workings are not suitable, what you wish for, could be the exact opposite of what you imagined; and, since we are working on the premise of FAITH, why leave anything to chance, or, arrogance, or, defiance, or, to unwillingness to comply to what IS the most beautiful BEING in existence? Just something to think about; I do not come to change people, but, to arouse in them, pertinently sleeping facts which, exist within...
*GOD* BLESS, and, be with us all, PRAISE HIM forevermore, AMEN!!!
