For some of us I know that we all honestly know what we need to be doing..what we need to be saying..how we need to be living and so forth..but somewhere in the midst of knowing and doing we get sidetracked..and we somehow let that ole sinful nature arise and take over all that God intends for us to be doing..for you see the nature of that sinful man has got to be gone..in all of our lives..and daily that old man has to be crucified..Galatians 5:24..Amen..it has to be in subjection to the word of God in our lives and it must line up..so once again we take ourselves back to the basics of it all..which in case is first and foremost when you know you’ve done wrong and that Lord has convicted you of the wrong doing..Well, first you ask for forgiveness..Amen..and then you get up and you do better..you get up and you ask that Lord to give you strength..and you ask the Lord to give you the help it is that you need to overcome that old sinful man and nature..for you see we live in a fallen world..and between social media..and between the tv..and life in general we are continually bombarded with things that are not at all needful or helpful..for the world always tries to drown out the voice of God..always tries to get us to live in that state of mind as to where we do to others as they’ve done unto us..it is constantly wanting us to be like it..other than living the way God intends for us to live and in which case I can say have you ever noticed that when people are happy..and people are positive..that others in this world honestly doesn’t know what to do with someone like that..a lot of people get offended..and a lot of people think that if your that way that your intentions are wrong or bad..but you see the thing of it all.is that we live our life for the Lord..and that we submit ourselves under that mighty hand of God..1 Peter 5:6-9..we do everything we do in His name and for His glory..for our Father deserves it all..and when we consider ourselves other than always considering someone else and what their doing..then we can do better with who we are..for we have to be focused on Christ..to live in Him..for when we don’t focus on Him..we lose a lot of joy and peace..we lose a lot of freedom that Christ died to give to us all..for the Lord our God is no respecter of persons..Romans 2:11/Acts 10:34..for once again guys..God loves us all as if there is only one of us..and when we do our parts God always does His..for He makes none of us serve Him..and He makes none of us do anything..it’s free will..and it’s our own choice as to what we do in our lives..but just know that with them choices comes consequences for our actions what we’ve chosen to do..so let each of us always chose to live a good one..in them things that we do..and in the way that we live..Amen..for everything we do matters and it matters greatly..we may never know this side of heaven..but one day we will..so until that day..live a life of happiness and joy..live your life for Jesus..live it pleasing Him first and foremost..for He is ever so worthy of it all..for He is God..and He is forever faithful..and forever so loving and kind, what a magnificent Father it is that we serve..so let us live well..always walking and abiding in the light of the Lord..1 John 1:7..for when we walk in the light we will live there in the light..when we don’t mind the things of the flesh..we will mind the things of the spirt..Romans 8:5..and that’s where we want our lives always to be..always in the light and always in the anointing of Christ Jesus our Lord..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
