WHEN IS ENOUGH, ENOUGH?

When it comes to the situations that we are sick and tired of, what will it take for us to say Enough is Enough?  Some resort to murder, theft, and or pray for the downfall of others.  Some types work hard at inventing cruel and evil methods to further their hellish causes?

When will we get enough when it comes to the attitude of the ungodly?  We know nothing good can come from having an alliance with the Devil, and making excuses for our actions will only make it worse.  One of our favorite excuses is old and tried; The Devil made me do it; which also happens to be a lie.

Most of us are capable of making our own decisions, although some claim to be possessed, we know the work of the Devil is done by choice.  And we know by doing ungodly deeds at some point we will have to take responsibility for our actions or we will surely lose our soul?  

Men do not differ much about what things they call evil; they differ enormously about what evils they will call excusable  G. K. Chesterton

The words of men have mostly been in support of themselves, seldom the greater good.  These thoughts of a lesser evil come from a weakness in the mind, and we all know For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.  Romans 3:23

For because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.  Ephesians 5:6

For those who have had enough of living outside of God’s Will, Proverbs 28:13 tells us: People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy.  This is a promise from God.  Enough is Enough; it’s time to turn your life around before it’s too late.  Even God gets fed up.

Did you know when our very being (our conscience, mind, and body) has reached the end of the road, and we have done all we can do, that don’t mean its time to give up and quit?  It simply means it’s time to Go to God in Prayer for a better solution.

Wherefore takes unto you the full armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand your ground, and having done all, to stand.  Ephesians 6:13

God has His own plans for us especially when we have nowhere to go but to him, and we are not always included in them. There is a lot to be said about the battle is not yours.  Just know that with Jesus Christ, we can still be productive and know when to draw the line, give up or just walk away.  Sometimes the battle really is The Lord’s.

Thank you, Jesus!

When working under the proper guidance of your Spirit, you may find yourself to be stronger than originally thought, and know that When Enough is Enough, we have Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to help carry the load, and because of that fact, who can be against us?  ( read Romans 8:31)

So, when enough gets to be too much, Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil.  Ephesians 6:11

War is Hell, so we must securely plant the truth in our hearts and mind.  We must battle injustices with confidence by putting our fears aside and paying attention to the battle at hand. 

But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.  1st Thessalonians 5:8 KJV

Thank you, Lord for lifting us up in the darkest of times, and as always it is in Jesus name that we pray.  Amen!

THE HUMAN SPIRIT!

Being without The Spirit of The Lord is likened to a Black-Hole, it just swallows everything up, everything; especially those we love.

But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.   Job 23:8

Having a Human Spirit make man three-fold.  One is his Body; built to maneuver the Real World using the five senses: sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch. 

Two is The Soul: the giver of our imagination, consciousness, memory, reason, and affections.

Last but certainly not the least, The Spirit: whose faculties are of The Spirit; faith, hope, reverence, prayer, and worship.

Not believing in Jesus Christ and holding on to sin will shut the Human Spirit down, leaving us with a Black Hole in our hearts where the Spirit of God should be living, and allowing situations to come into our lives in all forms and unimaginable horrors, all because of a Separation from God creating a Living Hell right here on Earth.

I have always been under the impression when I saw a mean-spirited individual, they were just that, mean; small-minded and motivated by cruelty or intending to be harmful to others, and I didn’t know why.  Now I know they are in a place void of light, (a Black Hole), even in The Beginning God said, Let There Be Light.  My heart hurt for their dilemma but sin is still sinning; something I try to avoid not create.

Death comes in many forms, it’s just the way of the world, but the loss of one’s spirit is really pricey.  For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.  Romans 6:23   I suggest we all take heed.

The Human Spirit!

It’s the part of us that connects us to the world, we are alive, and conscious of it.  Most of us know we came already Wired with The Spirit of the Lord.  The thing is, we were also given the gift of choice.  I don’t understand why rolling with your spirit, (what you know is right) is so hard, even your Smart Phone will tell you not to disconnect from factory-installed devices for this may cause your system to act improperly.

If the shoe doesn’t fit don’t wear it, so if you didn’t know, you didn’t know, but to the unbelievers and those in the know, including the ones who simply choose to live a life without God, you are already dead.

The Human Spirit is incapable of receiving the things of The Spirit of God-because they are spiritually discerned.  1st Corinthians 2:14    (Not able to perceive or recognize things clearly is to be spiritually discerned.)

It’s my belief and I stand by it, you do you.

For the word of God is living and active.  Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; (body) it judges the thoughts and attitude of the heart.  Hebrews 4:12

It’s something to know and certainly, Something To Think About!

Thank you, Lord, for allowing the Spirit of Jesus Christ to live among and in us.  It is in Jesus’ name that we pray.  Amen!

HOPE IS A DREAM YET TO BE REALIZED!

Fall on your knees and grow there.  There is no burden of the spirit but is lighter by kneeling under it.  Prayer means not always talking to Him, but waiting before Him till the dust settles and the stream runs clear.  F. B. Meyer

Hope is also a type of faith, and a feeling that what is wanted can be had or can turn out for the best.  But in order for our life to really come to life, it takes prayer, purpose, effort and courage, but nothing more important than Believing in and Waiting on Jesus Christ.

Wikipedia tells us Hope is an optimistic attitude of the mind based on an expectation of positive outcomes related to events and circumstances on one’s life or the world at large.  As a verb definitions include: expecting something with confidence, coupled with desires with anticipation.

We have to wake up, hope is more than just dreams and desires and that’s OK as long as we don’t let that be all we have when looking for favorable outcomes. 

The Bible warns us in Ecclesiastes 5:7; For the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: But fear thou God.  (Divers vanities mean full of folly, vain and insignificant things.)

Love the Lord with all thine heart, (Matthew 22:37) for it is written in Psalms 37:4; Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.

What happens in our life will be determined by how well we treat others and how we Obey and Praise God.  The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.  Proverbs 21:5

Don’t allow your hopes dreams and desires to prevent you from enjoying what you have now.  Don’t waste your time on things that are not to be, all because you are placing yourself and other things above God.

Be joyful, your turn will come.  Ask for what you want then Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.  Psalms 27:14 (KJV)

I know a lot of you say I have asked God plenty of times for the desires of my heart, and I have and waited and waited and still I have not received a single thing, that’s because Ye ask, and receive not, because you ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.  James 4:3

Change your attitude!  Be patient about the things you desire, while caring for the welfare of others. 

If I was not the type of person who believed in God, I believe I would be envious of those who do.  The believer in Jesus Christ have what I want; hope, the desires of their hearts taken to another level, faith, joy, love, discipline, instruction with guidelines coupled with grace, including all the godly things we need and dream of having.

Those who want what they want by any means may find themselves on a never-ending Merry-Go-Round, not knowing that God is the giver of all things; But they that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not be faint.  Isaiah 40:31

Wait on the Lord and your hopes and dreams may be realized.  It’s Something to Think About!

To God Be The Glory!  Thank you Lord.  Amen

THE PURPOSE OF LIFE?

Ralph Waldo Emerson say The Purpose of Life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

That’s all well and good for the world but the Bible gives us the true reason for our purpose and the real reason we are here; It’s all for God’s Glory.  In other words, Our purpose is to praise and worship Him. 

Isaiah 47:7 (KJV) tells us Everyone who is called by my name, And whom I have created for my Glory, Who I have formed, even whom I have made. 

Isaiah verifies that we cannot have the quality of life we desire filled with all our hopes and dreams without Believing in and Praising God.  The answer to living a more meaningful and conscientious life.

Through Him, therefore, let us constantly and at all times offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of lips that thankfully acknowledge and confess and glorify His name.  Hebrews 13:15

Spoiler alert: If you want what you want and you think Praising God is all you have to do, think again… Hebrews 13:16 say, Do not forget or neglect to do kindness and good, to be generous and distribute and contribute to the needy (of the church as embodiment and proof of fellowship), for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

I believe The Purpose of Life while Praising God to the highest consist of all godly goals infused into our daily actions, not random acts, or agendas.  We must be clear in the desire to pursue our purpose, asking ourselves what’s important and what is not.

Is God in your desires, is there a meaning for your desires other than greed, do we have a drive and or real compassion for others?  If so, we can achieve success, often on our own terms through the promises of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior who strengthens us.

No goals mean no direction or starting point.  No Praising Jesus means no success.  It is written; I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abide in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.  John 15:5 KJV

Thank you, Lord, for it is in Jesus name that we pray.  To God Be The Glory!
