In each of our lives we all have one goal in mind as being a christian and as being that child of God and that is heaven..for heaven is our eternal glory..heaven is that place as to where there is no more tears, no more sorrows, no more pains..no more sickness..but heaven is that place as to where we live on forever and ever with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ..for the bible says this..that the streets are made of pure gold..that the gates of that city is one great big huge pearl..Revelation 21..that there is no need for light for the Lord our God is the light..Revelation 22:5..Amen..so daily our focus and our attention is on heaven..and making sure that our names are written in the Lambs book of life..for you see the word says that the righteous are scarcely saved..1 Peter 4:18..for some people believe that once in grace always in grace..but guys we know the word says a lot about back sliding and falling away from the Lord..Proverbs 14:14/Jeremiah 3:22..it as well says in word of God that not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 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…Matthew 7:21-23..for as well the word of God says that whatsoever way the tree falls is the way the tree will go..Ecclesiastes 11:3..for we are told that we are to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling..Philippians 2:12..so the thing for us and each of us is to daily do the right things in our lives..we shouldn’t live our lives the way we think we should be..but we have to live our lives by the word of God…for God’s word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our pathways..Psalm 119:105…we all should have a godly fear of the Lord..we all should never try to willfully do anything against the Lord..knowing that He would be displeased with our actions..or should we ever just always do what we want in reference as to thinking that the Lord will forgive so it’s okay..but we know as well that the scripture says that..What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?..Romans 6:1-2..see our lives are to be dead in Christ..for the word says for me to live is Christ and to die is gain..Philippians 1:21…for as well it says..I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me…Galatians 2:20..so we live for the Lord..we are to abide with the Lord..we are to walk with the Lord..and daily do so..for it says if we walk in the spirit we would not mind the things of the flesh..Galatians 5:16..for the spirit man wars against the flesh..for the word says the things that I do not want to do is the things that I do..Romans 7:15..that’s why were told to put on the armor of God and daily do so..Ephesians 6:11-18..and for us to pick up our crosses and follow the Lord..Matthew 16:24..for He says follow me and I will make you fishers of men..Matthew 4:19/Mark 1:17..and isn’t that our desires to lead others into the saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ..and we do that through our obedience to Christ..so let us please the Lord guys with everything we do and with everything we say..for yet once again everything we do and everything we say matters and matters greatly..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
