So last night we had a really bad rain storm come through and this morning I had gotten up and looked outside and there were sticks all over our yard, so I went out to start picking them up and there were lots of them…and the Lord speaks to my heart and He says this is how your life is and daily you must keep it cleaned up…for you see guys just as that storm that came blowing in last night…the same happens with our lives things begin to come and come quickly…we get bombarded with obstacle after obstacle in life…and if not careful we will begin to slip from the place that we should be in our walks with Christ..and as well we will begin to compromise with things…for sin always starts out very simple in all of our lives…but when we let things go and we overlook things then they begin to build up and they begin to take over our lives…for you see that’s the devils purpose in all of our lives and that is to kill, steal and to destroy us…John 10:10…he doesn’t ever want us to get to the place to where we care…and we care about everything God cares about…for you see our homes are the number one place that we should constantly and continually be working on…never to let our guards down when it comes to our homes…Praise God…for just like that storm that blew in last night…and caused such a mess in the yard…the same way with the storms of life…they blow in very quickly in our lives…to cause destruction…to bring harm…and to completely destroy anything and everything in it’s pathway…but when we Gods children do our parts and we daily get up and take care of them things in our lives…we make sure theres nothing coming in our homes and in our lives that should not be there…for we guard our lives…for the word of God says above all guard your heart for out from it flows the issues of life…Proverbs 4:23..so we don’t grow weary in our well doing…Galatians 6:9…but we get up determined that were gonna live a victorious life for Jesus Christ our Lord…were gonna live this life that He died that we could live…for see the promise is this in scripture…its says..Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock….Matthew 7:24-25..but as well it goes on to say this unto each of us..But every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it….Matthew 7:26-27…so my question to each of is this what are we building our lives upon?…for the storms and the rain they do come and they will come…but if were building upon the Lord our God for He is our rock that firm and solid foundation then we will stand and we will make it…Hallelujah…but if were living our lives whatever way the winds blow..and doing our own things..and never thinking of the consequences…never considering what it is that we are doing…then our lives will fall and the word says great will be the fall of it…so guys let us all get very serious in our homes and in our lives…in our relationships…and in everything it is that concerns us and who we are for the Lord…because everything that any of us ever do or ever will do in all of our lives matters..and it matters greatly…for we all can and should be making a difference for Christ….so make sure to keep your life cleaned up…and daily cleaned up don’t compromise…and don’t get lazy…but you get up and you be willing and determined to live a life that is pleasing unto our Father in which is up in heaven…in everything you do and in everything you say….for once again everything we do and everything we say…matters..and matters greatly…for the bible says that death and life are in the power of our tongues and they that love it will eat the fruit thereof…Proverbs 18:21..so let us watch how we live and let us watch what we say…let us pray that the Lord would set that guard over our lips…Psalm 141:3…In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray…Amen and Amen…Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
