Let's not be Lukewarm Christians

We mention the name Jesus often but constantly deny the power behind the name and any connections that come with it. We want to be saved but still refuse to allow God to carry out his plan in and through us, because we still want to remain lukewarm and philosophically tolerable.

We want to encounter the wholeness of God’s power and blessings in our lives, but refuse to be in a relationship with Him.We want to go to heaven, but we are still under the curse of unforgiving because we have allowed bitterness and anger to reign supreme in our lives.

We say we are saved, but we still allow profane talk, godless chatter, and curse every time things do not go our way.

We condemn those who are "living in sin" based on our own righteousness only because they sin differently from us, and we forget that before God, sin is sin, and with that, He does not and will never compromise, because that’s why he gave us His best. We are slowly becoming the microwave generation that is used to getting things pap and staying away from the process.

We have tainted the gift of marriage by turning it into a selfish bond where we get into it for our own desires and it barely has God as the center of it. We want to live for God but are still bound to the ‘old self’ and its ways.

We want to live right but are still too scared because we are still more concerned with what people think about us instead of what God says about us. We do not want them to say we are "too saved" and boring.

As ladies, we have let go of the gentle and serene spirit that blesses God’s heart but has become vicious and wild and we can barely keep our homes together because we are constantly pulling each other and our spouses down with our words and actions. We want worship to be our lifestyle, but we pull heavens down in prayer and praise on Sunday but during the week, we are nowhere in God’s presence.

We cannot continue to live like this because a time will come and we will have to choose..either Christ or the devil, white or black....no more GRAY!!! No more sitting on the fence, no more trying to fix ourselves up because we feel too messed up to be saved as we are, because if that was the case, then we would not need grace. 

No more loving God, yet living a life of sin using "no one is perfect "as an excuse. No more saying no to Jesus because we do not want the "drama" that comes with salvation. It just doesn’t work like that... We have to get it together.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against ...

Wait upon the LORD

  Life resembles a route. Additionally, there will be stop signs and speed limit or increase signs along the route! I chose to use this analogy because there are times in life when all you have to do is wait on the Almighty. And just get more prayer done when you feel like a situation has triumphed over you. Simply put on the gear and switch it out. There are moments when we may feel as though the Lord is not seeing us, hearing us, or responding to our prayers. We can place all of our faith and belief in the living God at these times. Knowing that the Lord is with us and in charge of our lives allows us to wait on Him with great anticipation. He is going to fulfill his promise. He is going to save us. Even when we are not aware of Him, He is constantly at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Waiting on the Lord is something we can learn through prayer, seeking, active trusting, patience, and courage. When we wait on the Lord, we confidently anticipate a favorable outcome, for which we ...
