Folks, TODAY, More Than Ever Before In Human History, We Are Bombarded With Multiple Distractions; From Our Cellphones, To Our Televisions, To Our Computers (For Those Of Us, Who Still Use Computers), To The Entertainment Industry, And EVERYTHING In Between! For MOST People THESE Days, Their Cell Phones Have Become Their OVERWHELMING Form Of Entertainment! WOW! From Social Media (Social Media Websites, Videos, Blogs, etc.), To E-Books And Audible Books, To Games (Including, “Video” Games, Game Apps On Our Cellphones, etc.), Streaming Music, Movies, TV Series, “Binge” Watching, Watching Sports, And So Much, Much More! ALL OF THESE ARE DISTRACTIONS!
Folks, Have YOU Ever Thought About THIS? We Each Have 24 Hours In Our Day, And Let’s Say, That We Sleep 8 Of Those Hours, That Leaves 16 Hours To Do, Whatever We MUST Do (Example: Work, School, etc.), And The Rest For Whatever We WANT To Do!
So, HERE’S A Convicting Question For Each Of Us (Myself Included); How Much Time Of These 16 Hours Do We (The Body Of Christ, The Bride Of Christ, ALL Truly “Born Again” Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Set Aside – For GOD Almighty (And Jesus Christ); For One-On-One Time In Prayer (Communing With GOD Almighty), For Reading, Studying, Praying Upon What We Read, etc., THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH (The ENTIRE Holy Bible, And Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ; Including, Holy Bible Prophecy), For Sharing The SAVING Knowledge Of Jesus Christ (Through The Gospel Of Jesus Christ) With EVERYONE We Possibly Can, For Encouraging And Sharpening Each Other, etc.; When Was The Last Time (If EVER), YOU Walked Into THE THRONE ROOM (Into GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence) – Through Jesus Christ, Reported For Duty (As A Good Soldier Of Jesus Christ), And Asked GOD Almighty (And Jesus Christ), “What Can I Do For YOU – TODAY?”
Something To Think About, Huh!
Well, Would Your Answer Be (Maybe) 90 Minutes On Sunday (If That); OR ONLY On Christmas Eve (OR Christmas Day) And Resurrection Sunday? Would It Be 15-30 Seconds, 3 Times A Day (i.e., Before Each Meal)? OR Would It (In Reality) Be, “Well, I Live A Busy Life, And I Spend Time In Prayer, OR In “The Word”, etc., When I Get A Moment, Once In A While; BUT, GOD Almighty (And Jesus Christ) Understand!”
WOW! Talk About Priorities!
Folks, Jesus Himself Defined Our Priorities – For Us!
Mark 12:29-31
JESUS ANSWERED HIM, “THE FIRST (The Foremost) OF ALL THE COMMANDMENTS – IS: ‘HEAR O ISRAEL (And The World), THE LORD OUR GOD (GOD Almighty), THE LORD IS ONE (GOD Almighty, Jesus Christ, And The Holy Spirit)! AND YOU (The Body Of Christ, The Bride Of Christ, ALL Truly “Born Again” Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD (GOD Almighty – Through Jesus Christ) – WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH!’ THIS IS – THE FIRST COMMANDMENT! AND THE SECOND (Commandment), LIKE IT – IS THIS: ‘YOU (The Body Of Christ, The Bride Of Christ, ALL Truly “Born Again” Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR – AS YOURSELF (By Teaching THEM, To Do The Same – Through The SAVING Knowledge Of Jesus Christ)!’ THERE IS NO OTHER COMMANDMENT, GREATER, THAN THESE!”
Folks, When We Acknowledge GOD Almighty’s Amazing SAVING Grace, AND We Accept GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT OF SALVATION (Which COMES ONLY – THROUGH Jesus Christ); We NO Longer Live For SELF (WE DIE-TO-SELF), And We Live For Jesus Christ – NOT FOR OURSELVES!
Let Me Say The Same Thing, In Another Way! WE (The Body Of Christ, The Bride Of Christ, ALL Truly “Born Again” Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) STAND – IN The Whole ARMOR Of GOD Almighty; KNOWING, That Jesus Christ ABIDES WITHIN Us – Through The Holy Spirit; Therefore, Jesus Christ – WALKS WITH Us, The Holy Spirit – TEACHES Us, AND Most Importantly, GOD Almighty – WATCHES OVER Us, Always!
Folks, Satan’s Goal Is To Take Our Attention AND Our Focus – AWAY From Worshiping AND Serving GOD Almighty, AWAY From Walking With Jesus Christ, AWAY From Being Taught By The Holy Spirit, AWAY From Reading AND Spiritually Understanding THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH (The ENTIRE Holy Bible, And Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ; Including, Holy Bible Prophecy), AWAY From Communing With GOD Almighty (Through Prayer), AWAY From Fellowship With One Another (IN Person), AND Most Importantly, AWAY From Going About THE FATHER’S (GOD Almighty’s) BUSINESS; Which IS, Sharing The SAVING Knowledge Of Jesus Christ (Through The Gospel Of Jesus Christ) With EVERYONE We Possibly Can, While There’s Still Time!
Question, How’s Satan Doing – In Your Life? Ouch, Huh?
It’s Time To Get Jesus To People, And People To Jesus, As Quickly As We Possibly Can! TO DO MARK 12:29-31 – AS COMMANDED BY JESUS CHRIST!
The PRE-Tribulation Being CAUGHT UP Together Of The Church – IS IMMINENT! I’M READY! ARE YOU? Amen.
