Believers with an "I Feel" Doctrine - carnal, selfish

Wayward Christians - Are you one?

Wayward Christians, that's what many are.  Claiming to love God and wanting what is best for others one day then acting totally different another--the truth is far from them. 

The hypocrites (Christian pretenders) lie, steal, and wound others with words and/or fists.  They attend churches, organize family events, participate in prayer circles, or avoid all things Christian while embracing satanic influences.  They justify their negative behaviors while being critical of others.  The inconsistent believer wants respect, but don't give it.  They seek blessings, but they aren't the least bit interested in listening to God.  They tell one another to do what is right, but don't think right.

You may be that Christian who loves God when He provides for you and dislike Him when he doesn't.  You might be angry, bitter, confused, and worried about so many things, but the world can't tell, because you put on a good act. 

Your foe may not be anyone, but yourself.

Take a moment to pray for yourself and those who have offended you recently.  Ask God to intervene in your situation.  Confess your sins and change your mindset about God.  Read His word and know Him for yourself.

Blessings to you!

Christians Know Better Not to Be a Fool, But Some Still Play the Fool Anyway

They accepted Jesus once, but they don't want to study the Bible or related books to assist them.  They don't desire to learn how to do some things better.  They frown at having to perform research.  They offer unwise counsel while doing and saying wicked things to others.  These individuals are foolish Christians!  Although believers in Christ, these men and women aren't the least bit interested in empowering themselves mentally, physically and spiritually against the attacks of the enemy.

We have all been played by a fool and have acted foolishly in our decision-making since walking with Christ.  But once we received wisdom and knowledge about some things, our Lord expects us to grow, learn from life lessons and trials.  However, so many believers don't!  They lie, steal, kill, abuse, destroy, and more in the name of Jesus.  They are children of darkness that say, "Lord, Lord..." but they are far from Him.  Others are children of light but like a wick starting to go out on a candle, that's how they look to many observers.

Watch as well as pray when you consistently noticed a pattern of foolishness with a so-called Christian or one who sincerely believes but has a funny way of showing it.  Guard your heart and don't be tempted to sin because of them.  Also, do keep in mind those who are sincere believers may have chosen to walk somewhat with God, but stopped.  Unwilling to do anything more, hypocrites, backsliders, and tired Christians are like abandoned vehicles left along side of freeways.  The bodies of those vehicles may still be intact, but inside they are broken down, inoperable and unwilling to drive any farther.

Stay strong, my friend, keep fighting the good fight!  Satan is always looking for one he can devour!

Christmas is the Test, New Years will Define the Outcome

Not every Christian is called to be around relatives and friends this year.  Service comes in seasons and some people don't know when to sit down and be quiet.  So for those who are stubborn, once again they will learn the hard way as for others who have an ear to hear listen to what the Lord says to your Spirit and obey especially around loved ones. 

Christmas is a test for many.  We recognize that there are those who enjoy the holiday because they have been programmed for decades to do so.  We also know that others simply go along just to get along while knowing full well the holiday is rooted in paganism and idol worship.  To all who celebrate, God uses this holiday, as well as other pagan celebrations, to test believers. 

Who are you serving and what are you willing to give up to come and follow Jesus? As we all know, the baby in the manger. grew up and went through much trial to save souls that could have been destroyed.  Some believers want to keep Jesus in the manger.

Tis the season for trial, grief, victory, and an awakening.  Christmas is the trial, but that new year just around the corner is the outcome.  Our Father in Heaven wants praise and glory, don't grieve the Holy Ghost who ushers you to do what's right. 

Come up higher and change your mindset, next year will be here before you know it and will you be doing more of the same?

No Belief in God Talking to His Messengers

Have you ever tried talking to someone about something you knew for sure was the truth?  You gave them detail after detail and fact after fact in an effort to help them with an issue, yet they still didn't want to believe you?  Well, this sort of response is what many of God's messengers face when sharing his truth with believers as well as unbelievers.  We aren't just talking about the Gospel of Christ, but wisdom that speaks truth into one's personal situation/dilemma.

Prophets ought to be strong when giving a person a word of knowledge, prophecy or any other message that God moves on our spirits to give.  Further, we should fear the God we pray to when we don't do for Him!  So many former messengers and followers end up in troubled waters, because they proceed in life thinking God is directing them, despite being wayward in the faith.

Think of the many Christians who end up on planes, trains, buses, cars and even in bars, because they permitted flesh to direct them, while ignoring the prophet's warning, only to prematurely die via an accident, stray bullet, illness, or something else.  We all are going  to die some day, but at least when the time comes, it will because God ordered it and not because of our disobedience that led us to it.

We must trust the words that God gives (even if it hurts) and do accordingly.  But how might we know whether a messenger of God is real?  Consider what you prayed behind closed doors.  Was there any way one would have known what to tell you at the right place and at the right time without God's influence?  Of course, our adversary will have his many tricks, but what do his words provide?  A trip toward a path that leads straight to hell!  We see evidence of this by the many elitists whose minds have gone crazy as a result of shunning what the Almighty God says while welcoming what Satan sings.
