A little bit of sin , just a little bit of the world can grow to be disaster

A little bit of sin , just a little bit of the world can grow to be disaster. need proof ?? look at this Nation . just having fun huh ? be not deceived no repentance invites Judgement. yes I know God is loving , He is merciful , He is longsuffering , and That He has been . I mean look at the wickedness of this Nation, look how long God has covered this Nation , now look at how fast this Nation is ...crumbling and falling apart. why ? its a slow fade ? like erosion and decay . many today live like there is no Judgement . my friend Gods word is Judge and this people this Nation have rebelled and disobeyed God shaking their fist at Him with every idol and abomination. God wants our heart not our lip service. He wants Obedience! Abraham was willing to put his own son on the alter. God was willing and sent His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ to die for us that we might have life. how long will many reject His perfect sacrifice, how long will so many use Jesus Name for their own personal gain? they call evil good and good evil, God is angry with the wicked everyday . many receive the Grace of God in vain. listen to what Gods word says in psalm 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell and all nations that forget God. has this nation forgot God ? took Him out of schools and the list goes on. in times past when do people and a nation call upon God the most? during times of trouble and calamity. the prodical son wasted all his substance in riotous living a famine arose in the land, the prodical son didn't return to his Father until he came to himself perishing with hunger. so whats it gonna take? people are not ready for what it will take to turn this people and this nation back to God. many pray for the American dream & this nations system to be saved , guess what its shut down , we ought to be praying for souls to be saved and start going house to house city to city preaching the Gospel. how is it that so many Christians fear man? the disciples were bold, Stephen stood boldly and preached and was stoned to death, Christians today rather put on their sunday best go through the motions get a little hyper and called it the anointing , filled with a dead shout vain worship, hands that don't reach and feet that wont move. jump around yelling they feel the presence of God yet leave untouched. call chaos order, this is crazy. its time to repent

what has your focus

sometime's while on our journey we so easily place our eyes on the circumstances of the present or the past, and the devil tries to steal our joy and kill our faith and destroy our communication with God. but the devil is a liar he is a defeated foe. today its time to get back up , if you have strayed its time to get reconnected to the Vine. every branch not connected to the Vine is a branch fit to be burned. think about what your doing right now , if Jesus was to return right now what would He catch you doing ? if it be so that you have left your first Love then here is your instruction from Gods word ------> Revelation 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

 

our heart bonds with whatever we treasure. the heart will follow what it treasures. Lay up in store for yourselves treasures in Heaven
by actively setting our focus & efforts on doing things that store up treasures in Heaven we will focus less on acquiring & hoarding earthly treasure
