God had been showing me for several days now what I should bring but
He really didn't give me the words to say until this afternoon. I
started out with one of the memory scriptures for this month which says…
"The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; pride and arrogance and the evil way and the perverse mouth I hate." Proverbs 8:13 NKJV
Some people wonder why this verse is telling us to fear the Lord.
They don't get the fact that even though God is loving and kind, He is
also just.
Having a Godly fear is necessary to worship God, to serve others, and even to avoid sin in our lives among other things.
In 2 Corinthians 7:1, Paul exhorts the Corinthians to purify their lives.
He says…"Having therefore these promises, dearly
beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and
spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God." KJV
We are to present our ourselves blameless to the Lord and with that
comes a holy fear that makes us want to do that. But do we listen to
God's voice telling us to fear Him?
I think many people try to… but sometimes their flesh rises up and
wants to do things their way.
The way that we conduct our lives throughout the day shows God how
obedient we are to His commands. He sees you behind closed doors. He
sees everything, hears everything, and even knows your thoughts.
The question is…Do we really live out our lives as if we have that fear of the Lord?
Or do we say, "Maybe tomorrow…I want to do something else right now."
Listen, my brothers and sisters in the Lord… There are many people
who are bringing a false witness to others but there is someone who has
the power to bring millions of people down the road to destruction. Do
you want to know who that is? Of all people…Oprah Winfrey. She is
supporting and bringing the teachings of Eckhart Tolle in "A New
Earth". It completely contradicts the Word of God.
As I said…millions of people from around the world are taking these
teachings to heart. We need to have a strong holy fear of the Lord or
we may end up in the same predicament as those people find themselves
in right now.
I know that we all have times when we are dry in our walk with God,
including myself, but I propose that we drink the living waters now
because we are going to be living in a spiritual drought soon if it's
not already here and we need to be glued to His Word.
We do need to wake up and smell the awful stench of the enemy
wanting to come ever so close to our own hearts. We need to be vigilant
and sober in these end times.
Will you choose to wait until tomorrow or will you choose to live a
holy and blameless life now? We don't know when this will happen, but
as you know, the signs are all there and they're showing us that Jesus'
return is closing in fast. |
