The Danger of Being Foolish or Idolatrous Regarding God's Will.

 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
Ephesians 5:17

As I sit here at my computer, I wonder, "How many people actually know God's will?" I ask myself this question because knowing God's will is absolutely the most important information any man, woman boy or girl can assimilate into each ones life's journey. 

However, I do realize that people, who don't know God, through His Son, Jesus, could care less about connecting with this vital eternal information.  I also know that it's so easy, for even Christ Followers,  to just get caught up with the idolatry of all the technological stuff: We have  Smartphones, not so smart phones,  tablets, computers, flat screen TVs, with their myriad of entertainment packages, Cable News Channels, Snapchat, TiKTok, ROKU, Twitter, Facebook, Fantasy Sports, Video Games, YouTube  (and the list goes on and on.) Sadly, these things can be all consuming, and when we allow our time to be swallowed up in these commodities and devices, there is  little time for us to consider The Creator God's expectations that provide bountifully complete lives. Indeed, you can be sure of this: When things digest, or absorb, more of our time, talents and treasure, than does God and seeking to know God's will, we are dangerously close to being idolaters to the gods and goddesses of social media and technology.

Therefore,  not knowing God's will is absolutely and unequivocally foolishness. Here are other ways to say this:  It is "crazy" to not know God's will. It is "insane" to not know God's will. It is "irrational" to not know God's will. It is "ludicrous" not to know God's will. It is "preposterous" to not know God's will. It is "stupid" to not know God's will. And last, but not least, it is completely "unreasonable" to not know God's will." Yet, in spite of hopefully hearing this, there are many who do not have a clue. Our loving God wants better for us. He actually wills for us to know His will, as He permits our free choice.

Each of us has only a finite number of days to travel along on this journey. Let us determine, as we begin this new year, to find out what is God's will. Take it from someone who knows, this journey brings you to old age more rapidly than you can imagine. Don't merely exist erroneously only on your terms. That would be a HUGE bad choice! With God's help, discover God's will. You will be glad you did.

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

Image
   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
