DECREASE, AND LET GOD INCREASE

It’s so sad when a person can’t realize that, if your actions are going to lead people down the wrong path, then you must decrease so God can increase;John the Baptist did it so that Jesus was glorified,and  all of John’s actions were honorable,nothing to hide or be ashamed about(John 3:30). When you realize that people are talking more about you, than the God you serve, then you have increased and  God is decreasing, now that’s a big problem, and God is definitely not pleased with that;Don’t allow the wrath of God to come down on you ,because of disobedience(Ephesians 5:6),it will get worse before it gets better;Present your bodies to God,Holy and acceptable,that’s your reasonable service(Romans 12:1-2).

When you can’t see that you have crossed the line, and overstepped your boundaries, between the things and people of God then you are going down the wrong path. Because of greed, loss of title, loss of fame and fortune you are willing to sacrifice the souls, and lives of God’s children to sooth your ego and pride, then it’s wrong, and your supporters are blind, because they now turn from following God to following you. They that followeth vain persons is void of understanding(Proverbs 12: 11);Jesus said,’My sheep hears my voice,and I know them,and they follow me'( John 10:27).Listen people,be careful who you are following,the apostle paul,told the corinthian church,to follow him ,as he follow Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1),open your eyes,it’s not time to play games,and not be sure if you are Heaven bound or hell;God wants a glorious church,not having spot,or wrinkle,or any such thing;but it should be Holy and without blemish(Ephesians 5:27).

Listen, we are in the last days,where scoffers,are walking after their own lusts(2 Peter 3:2); God’s people don’t need no unnecessary distractions, to take our eyes off the prize, of the High calling of Jesus Christ(Philippians 3:14). We need to be watching and praying(Mark 14:38, Luke 21:36),instead of focusing on the troubles, and mess of this world,see then that ye walk circumspectly,not as fools but as wise,redeeming the time ,because the days are evil;wherefore be not unwise,but understand  what the will of the Lord is(Ephesians 5:15-17). When you refuse to decrease so God can increase, it shows that you are of the world, and an enemy of God, because you are looking at your losses, position, prestige, and not God. When a person is willing to sacrifice the souls of the people, which should be their primary concern, instead of bruised egos, then that’s a problem;The Bible says,Love not the world,nor its things,if you do, then Gods love is not in you,because in the world is the lust of the flesh,the eyes,and the pride of life(1 John 2:15-16).

 In life there is a limit to how far you can go without God, some people are successful, because someone in their past generation prayed for something, and the blessings materialized on them, because God is faithful and true to His promises, but when you misappropriate His blessings, to serve the devil, the calamity, and punishment is severe. So children of God please stop following man and follow God(Ephesians 5:1), He sent His only begotten Son to save us(John 3:16-17), because man could not do it, so lets read the Bible and seek Godly guidance, He will see you through.

If you don’t know the true and living God, or His son, Jesus Christ(John 3:16-17), then go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, and follow the instructions. I don’t know who this message is for, but to God be the glory, praise, honor, and thanks for using me to write it. It is not bashing, it is truth.

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.
