I know we all have probably heard it before and maybe for some you haven’t heard it…but the saying goes like this…”You cannot out exercise a bad diet!”…and for  me when I hear this..I don’t think in concept of out exercising a bad diet..but I always think spiritually when I hear that or I even read that statement…my mind always says…and yes you cannot out run bad habits…in other words you cannot straddle the fence in your walk and in your relationship with Christ..you cannot be hot and cold..up and down..round and round so to speak…but you have to daily do your very best to live a life that is pleasing to the Lord…you cannot expect to grow and be who the Lord desires for you to be…when your still living your life in the world..and acting as the world acts..and talking and going where the world goes..because the word of God says to come out from among them and be ye separate says the Lord..2 Corinthians 6:17…for it says what fellowship does light have with darkness?..2 Corinthians 6:14..it says be ye holy as I am holy..Leviticus 11:44…for you have been called out from darkness into the Lords light..1 Peter 2:9..so we don’t live a life that is totally against what the word of God says to us..because we can’t both yield the bible says sweet water and bitter…no more can a fig tree bare olive berries..James 3:11-12…we cannot walk around living our lives the way we so desire to..we are to be salt and light in this world..Matthew 5:13-16..that others may desire to want to come to know the Lord..for some we are the only bible in which case that they ever will read..so when you live your life in a whatever state of fashion..and your living and doing things like this world..well then they as well live that way..or they as well will say their no different then me..so why would I need to become a christian…I mean their cussing…their fussing…their living their lives in the bar…their drinking..their doing more than what I’m doing..so I don’t need to know the Lord..I don’t need to be saved or be a christian..and guys that is  what others say…we are to represent the Lord…I mean we are to walk the walk guys..totally committed to Jesus…we should never be a stumbling block to our brothers or sisters..1 Corinthians 8:13…I mean when we know sin and then we continue in it..that is the bad part..for some the Lord keeps on and on with them..so they keep on living however..all because they hold on to the fact well I will just ask for forgiveness..but you can’t willfully sin and do so all because of Gods grace…for the Lord tells us all to go and sin no more..to know to do good and not the bible says is sin..John 8:11..so to willfully be doing so is ever so wrong..so today question your motives..question yourself in your life and the way you live your life for the Lord..and the way you live your life in front of others…the way you act..the way you talk…the things you do..for we are to be different guys..we are to be a light that shines in the darkness…we are to walk that narrow pathway…and stay far away from that broad one..for it says to 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: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it…Matthew 7:13-14…and the word of God says for us to examine ourselves to see whether or not we are in the faith..2 Corinthians 13:5..for it says to take heed least you think your standing you very well could be falling..1 Corinthians 10:12..so work on you…and work on the person that the Lord needs for you to be…quit walking in the flesh and pleasing the things of your flesh..because when we you do your not pleasing the things of God..for if you walk in the flesh you will mind the things of the flesh but if you walk in the sprit you as well will mind the things of the spirit..Galatians 5:16/Romans 8:5…Amen..there’s no time to lay around and play games when it comes to your salvation and who you are for Jesus..so take heed guys over your life..and over your relationship with Christ…because it is very, very important..so be a light for the Lord..and live your life in the light of the Lord..always walking and abiding in His presence…living to please Him in all that you do..and in all that you say..and in all of the places that you go..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
