Many people when they start out in their walks with Christ…and even for some, well, actually all of us…if were not careful to gain knowledge and wisdom then we will fall away from the truth..which is Christ Jesus our Lord…if we don’t know what the word of God says…and we don’t do our parts as far as praying…reading our bibles and daily doing so..and getting up and finding us a place of fellowship and communion with others..then guys we begin to compromise and fall…we begin to slip back to the ways of this world…and that my dear sweet friends is the easiest thing to do…for we live in a very cruel and evil world…and we live in a fallen world…for the Lord tells us in His word..Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;…Ephesians 6:10-18…for as well the Lord says, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:…Hosea 4:6…for we have to know guys who we are in Christ..and just who the Lord is…we have got to know when someone is leading or trying to lead us astray by false doctrine…you have got to study to show yourself approved unto God a workman that needed not to be ashamed, but rightly dividing the word of God..2 Timothy 2:15…for we go to church to have the word to fill us up…for daily we need filling..for Gods word it is a lamp unto our feet and light unto our pathways.Psalm 119:105..for the Lord tells us not to be forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching…Hebrews 10:25…and I don’t know about the rest of ya..but the days are getting shorter and we will hear the trump of God sound..for it is I believe the worst that it’s ever been in our world in which we all live..for sin is not sin..and wrong is not wrong..it is the great mentality that you can live as you choose…you can do as you want…you don’t have to listen to no one or nothing…that once in grace always in grace…but guys let me say that the Lord says whatsoever way a tree falls that is the way it shall lay..Ecclesiastes 11:3…and I’m not saying that to be mean..but that’s the word…and as well it says that we are to know and choose to do right over wrong…just like the lady in whom was caught in adultery..sure the Lord forgave her..but what else did the Lord say?…He told her you go and sin “NO” more..John 8:11…Hallelujah…so we don’t do this once in grace always in grace..that is wrong..and so very wrong…for each of us are born with a conscience..and no one has to tell me when I’m doing something or saying something that’s not right..for I know..a little one year old knows when their doing something they shouldn’t do…so we all have no excuse..and we should never make excuses for our sins..but we should confess them..and the Lord says that He will forgive them..1 John 1:9..but as well it says do we continue in sin?…the word says, God forbid that we do..Romans 6:1-2…so take heed the bible says least you think your standing for you very well could be falling away..1 Corinthians 10:12..so never compromise the truth…for God He is the way…the truth and our life..John 14:6..and when we compromise the truth…we are compromising against God..and that is a terrible, terrible thing to do…so please the Lord in who you are…don’t look to people to please them..but just please God..for in pleasing God you will live this abundant life that He died that you could live..and that you should be living..for the word says that the Lord came to give us a life and life of abundance…John 10:10…so don’t sow corruption in your life…but do the very best you can and daily do it…just take one day at a time..and as your walking and going along..the whole thought should be to please Jesus…asking of Him, Lord what would you have for me to do today…asking the Lord to lead you…to keep you…and to guide you…always and forever….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
