Lend Me Your Ears

Ask yourself in a weeks time how much of your time, mental & physical energy goes to each of these things that Christ named? All I ask is that you be honest with YOURSELF. Luke 21: 34 says, "And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting (over indulgence), and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. Jesus warned of these things overtaking our hearts and tells us to be on guard and NOT allow them to do so. If you examine our world today especially our American society it seems that everything that Jesus said to guard ourselves from doing is pretty much a NORMAL way of life. We generally are consumed with surfeiting. We overindulge in whatever feels good. There is this underlying theme in today's culture of do what thou wilt. What ever "feels" good do it. Whatever "feels" right do it. We constantly want more, more, more. Contentment is a lost virtue and we tend to work ourselves into the ground trying to indulge in our hearts delights. 

And what about drunkenness? Have you noticed that just about EVERY show on TV promotes drinking? Let's go deeper they promote drinking especially AS A WAY OF COPING with hard times. When you have a hard day, or need to unwind don't turn to Christ the source of peace, the source of strength & comfort, grab a beer or a glass of wine and drink your problems away. 

And here is the big one... the one that really jumps out at me in the verse. Christ mentions THE CARES OF THIS LIFE. People are so BUSY with the cares of this life, JUST TRYING TO LIVE that they don't have time to invest anything into their eternal life. Our lives are so filled with distractions and vane efforts and responsibilities that we don't have time to seek Christ. Some people will put more effort into not missing their favorite show than they will into not missing church.

I ask you again, in a weeks time how much of YOUR time, mental energy and physical energy goes into each of  the things that Christ named? Once you figure that out compare that to how much TIME, mental and physical energy you invest in learning about Christ. Jesus is coming back for his church and the Bible says no man knows exactly when so we should be ready at all times. I encourage you to start on purpose seeking Christ. He said all those who hunger and thirst after righteousness shall be filled. He also said he has given us the Holy Spirit who will lead and guide us into ALL truth. I urge you TODAY make a decision to LEARN about Jesus Christ and what his death, burial and resurrection actually means. 

I love you guys and I hope you have an ear to hear. My intent is to reach as many people as possible to influence them to seek after Jesus Christ. HE is the ONLY answer to what plagues mankind, and in these troubled times that we live in HE IS OUR ROCK! 

Be blessed Guys!

From My Heart to Yours

Grace does not remove judgement, grace is God judging Jesus for OUR sins. If you are not found IN Christ then you will have to answer to God for your sin. Because of what Adam did in the garden all of us are sinners. Not because of acts that we do but because we were born with a sin nature- our very nature IS the sin. We were born dead in another form different from what God originally created. However, through Jesus Christ we can have new life & live in & fellowship with God as new creations in Christ Jesus. We can be born AGAIN through faith in him. So right now there is no judgement coming from God. The pains, trials, and sufferings that we see in this world are the results of two things: 1. Fallen mankind & us ruining the planet by not knowing how to manage & tend it.  2. The result of things that were set in place thousands of years ago before any of us were here. Things that happened in the spirit that the Bible speaks of that we can not yet fully understand (Matt. 24:4-8). Right now these are the causes of what we see, but ladies and gentleman please hear me clearly, He that have an ear let him hear, there is a judgement that is coming that IS from God; and when it comes there will be no mistaking, or wondering is this God. When God judges his judgement is Noah and the Flood, Sodom and Gomorrah- he DESTROYS cities and all that are in them. The casualties are not a few hundred people, the casualties are ENTIRE cities. (Matthew 24:2-22) This judgement IS going to happen, however we don't have to be a part of it because CHRIST was Judged at the cross for all of mankind. We can place our life in him and find protection from the coming horrors. Those who are found outside of Christ WILL FACE the judgements of those in this world. Even if you feel you are a good person and do good deeds. Our goodness does not equal righteousness. Righteousness only comes by FAITH in Christ. (Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe... For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified FREELY by his GRACE through the redemption that is IN Christ Jesus (Rom 3:21-28 emphasis vs.22-24) ). God doesn't deal with mankind according to our good deeds because none of us can measure up to his standard. His standard is perfection. That is why he sent Jesus to pay the price of sin FOR us. So you see there is no salvation for the man that rejects the free gift of salvation.  To reject Christ is to say to God that you don't need a savior and you can answer for your own Sins. Every man has that choice. God will not make you believe & he will not make you accept his gift of salvation, it's YOUR choice. But in choosing know this, EVERY MAN will die eventually, every man will give account of the deeds done in their physical body, and this world will experience the great tribulation that Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24.  Everyone who has not placed faith in Christ will be apart of this tribulation. (2 Thess. 2:1-17 emphasis on vs. 9-12) ... because they RECEIVED NOT the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them a strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. The bible warns of a coming tribulation that will be a horrible time and I don't want ANY of you to have to endure that. I urge you go to my church's website www.totalvictoryexperience.com,  or visit our YouTube page totalvictoryexp and listen to any of the many messages that we have there FREE about Jesus Christ. Also, pray and ask God to reveal to you whether what I am saying is the truth or not, and PLEASE reader if you feel a prompting in your heart as you read this don't ignore it. Put faith in Christ while you still have a chance.
