6/10/2010 Authority

I actually woke up in the middle of the night last night and had this message come to me, and so I had to write it today and share it. We need to have authority over our soul, mind and body. It can be so easy to get wrapped up and lose it especially with being busy and getting consumed with things that do not matter. There are things we know that we do that are not right and still do them. Now why is that? Do you make excuses or brush it off? By doing that and getting in the habit of that we make it acceptable to ourselves and make it a natural environment to live in. The truth is that no matter what we are going to sin, the difference is that since God gives us grace, we need to accept that and respect that and we need to ask for forgiveness when we catch ourselves doing wrong, have obedience and follow the Lord. It is not through our perfection, but HIS!!!!! There is only one way to heavan and that is through the salvation of Jesus Christ. It doesn't matter how many good things you do, if you don't accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and start living for him, then there are no short cuts about it. I think we can get into the routine of waking up each day and doing our daily routine and think that we are going to be guaranteed another day, but that is never the case. Why does it take for something bad to happen or to catch us off guard to wake us up???? That is what the enemy wants, he wants to put fear into our lives. The spirit of fear is not from God, it is directly from Satan. So the next time you have fear, you already know that it isn't from God, and you need to rebuke it in the name of Jesus Christ. As christians we are supposed to be sharing our faith with others that need help with strengthening their faith. Why are people so shy about sharing that? We have a million rap songs that are all worldly known that are full of cursing and the wrong way to live, and everyone is so open and vocal about it and shares it. Can you see where the mixed up prioritys are? It is the exact opposite with the way our society works today and it is only getting more worse. Our society is literally playing into what the devil wants. Everyone is more vocal about sleeping around, cheating, lying, cursing, money over God, materialistc things, etc. If we know these things are against the Lord, why play into them and think it isn't a big deal?? It is a big deal. Do you know that we are always under a spiritual test 24/7. If we know better, why fail??? In the bible in Job, it mentions that Job was a godly man and was highly favored by God and the devil was next to Job and basically said that the only reason Job was so godly was because he had everything good, and everything in his favor, but the devil told God that if he was to take things away, that Job would curse God. So God took things away, Jobs sons got sick, etc and you know what??? Job still was a godly man!!! That is the devil's mentality with us, he predicts that we will curse God and fall apart when things don't go our way. Never ever please the devil!!!!! Stop wasting another day, and start now!!!! Start in the Bible, lead a godly life, do not blend into society be different!!!!!!!!!!! Remember there is only one way to heaven. You need to keep quenching your mind, body and soul. It needs to be a daily thing, it is like job, if you don't keep up, you can lose it, and have to start over. Keep building. I am going to say a prayer right now: Lord Jesus, please forgive us for our sins, and continue to bless us and keep us in your Holy Hand. I rebuke the devil and his schemes in the name of you most holy high Jesus. Keep us uplifted, help us to always be pleasing to you and become more godly men and women each day. Have the Holy Spirit enlighten us and bless us and keep us safe and give us peace. Let us keep praising your name forever and ever, and keep us in the light. Let us always keep turning to you and following YOUR WILL and YOUR WAY and be vessels to those around us. Amen. Have a blessed day Katy Rose
