7/29/2010 Are you a Part of Gods Army?

Do you have any idea what a privilege it is to be part of God’s Army? In this corrupt world filled with SOOOOOO much sin, what an honor it is to be a part of the All and Mighty Creator of the Universe. Do you understand the territory that comes with being a TRUE part of God’s Army? Sacrifice, Humble, Enduring Suffering, Being in this world but NOT of this world, turning the other cheek, showing grace, etc. All of these things mentioned here, aren’t something you just get down and start a routine doing. It isn’t like a workout routine. These things take discipline and obedience, and not just one day a week, but EVERY single day in EVERY situation. You will always be tested, and the enemy doesn’t leave you alone. Don’t expect people to feel sorry for you, or give you the same treatment and respect that you give others. If you keep thinking people owe you favors, then your mind is very far from God. As a Christian the greatest book to live by and is our guideline is the Bible. So if you want to know how to live and have a guide, then that is your answer. The majority of the world is not living according to what the Bible preaches, because people choose to live by the guidelines of the World. So very few people you will notice that are different, and that they are doing something different, and those are the people you want to surround yourself with. What benefits come with surrounding yourself with un-godly people? Nothing good comes from it, it only steers you in the wrong direction. This world has enough things to lead you astray, why make it easier by associating with the people that are un-godly. Think of the people that you hang out with, do they curse a lot? People think cursing isn’t a big deal because EVERYONE does it. Once again you don’t want to do what everyone is doing. Do you know that in the Bible it states you cannot praise God and curse God at the same time? Or from the same mouth? So if the guideline clearly states that and if you are truly a part of God’s Army why do you curse or associate with people that do that? That is not what God wants, so don’t be a part of it. That is just a smaller example I brought up, there are many to choose from. So instead of reading this and then living the way you want to live, stop and think. What are your actions? Are they godly? Have a blessed day, katy rose
