STAND UP,OR BE TRAMPLED

In life you have to stand up for everything you believe in. Like standing up for your rights. Keep in mind that if you don’t stand for something then you will stand for nothing . It is very important to stand up for Jesus because He paid it all with His life.

We need to understand that when we make a stand for Jesus, it is a choice we make not to be subjected to the devils lies, deceptions and manipulations. It is a choice to not be defeated or broken by the traps of the enemy whose sole purpose is to corrupt our choices to stand for and represent Jesus Christ. When you stand for Jesus Christ it may be demoralizing and devastating but the end result will always be rewarding. It will be brutal yet beneficial. It will start out bitter but will only get sweeter as the days go by.

Why you may ask? Because when you are justified by faith you have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. With faith we have access to the grace of God in which we stand and rejoice in the hope of the glory of God (Romans 5:1-2). A song says, “On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand”. 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 tells us to watch, stand firm in faith, be brave, be strong and let all that you do, be done in love. Listen, the foundation of God stands sure( 2 Timothy 2:19) and no matter the circumstances it is when we stand fast in the Lord, that it encourages someone else(1 Thessalonians 3:7-8).

Beware of  dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of mutilation! For we are the circumcision, that worships God in the spirit. Rejoice in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh (Philippians 3:2-3). This is where it gets serious, Paul tells us how to stand in Ephesians 6:10-20: First we must be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might then put on the whole armor of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Children of God we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, the rulers of darkness of this world and against spiritual wickedness in high places. This is the reason we need the whole armor of God so that we will be able to stand on the evil day and stand with our loins girt about with truth.

My friends, truth will set you free (John 8:32). The truth is also in Revelation 3:20 where Jesus says; “He stands at the door of your heart knocking and if you hear His voice and open the door then He will come in”. Did you let Him in? What are you waiting for? Jesus is the only way to God, Our Heavenly Father (John 14:6). Once again will you let Him in? Tomorrow may be too late why not start today. Keep in mind there are only two places to go, Heaven or hell, which line are you standing in? To go to heaven you must accept God’s gift which is His only begotten son Jesus Christ (John 3:16; Romans 5:8).

TRUTH

“You can’t handle the truth” was one of my favorite movie quotes. And that is a fact of life, most people would rather hear a lie than the truth.

How about you? Can you handle the truth?

Well here is some truth, that is trustworthy, and faithful: “If we die with Him, we will also live with Him. If we endure or suffer, we will reign with Him. If we deny Him, He will deny us. If we are faithless, He remains faithful, because He can’t deny Himself”(2 Timothy 2:11-13). Allow the truth to enter your hearts, and minds and set you free (John 8:32). My job is to present myself approved to God, as a workman who is not ashamed to rightly divide the word of truth. And I am telling you that Jesus Christ is the only way, truth, and access to God our Father (John 14:6). I am not writing to debate or argue with you, or engage in Godless chatter, I am telling the truth, and stating a fact. Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands firm, sealed with this inscription: ” THE  LORD KNOWS THOSE WHO ARE HIS”, and “everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from  wickedness” ( 2 Timothy 2:19). Jesus lived on earth, and was full of grace, and truth (John 1:14). Don’t allow anyone to deceive you with vain words, because that will bring the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience(Ephesians 5:6). The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the Godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness. The truth about God is known to them instinctively. God has put this knowledge in their hearts. From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth, sky, moon, sun, stars, and all that God made. They can clearly see His invisible qualities, His Eternal power, and Divine Nature, so there is no excuse what so ever for not knowing God. For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him or thanked Him, but their thinking becomes futile, stupid, and foolish, thus darkening, hardening, and polluting their hearts (Romans 1:18-21).

If for whatever reason you don’t know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, and follow the instructions. It will be the best thing you ever do, and you will never regret it. I give all glory, praise, honor, and thanks to God for using me to deliver His message, I pray it edify, exhort, and comfort you as it did me, may His grace and peace be yours now and forever, amen.
