It's sad to see how some "Christians" have one foot in the world and the other foot in God's Kingdom. Living in the world 6 days a week and changing on Sunday. How on earth? You can't be a Sunday Christian for an everyday God! Your life should bring Him glory and you should be an example for unbelievers, not blending in with unbelievers. The lines have been blurred, but it's time that people make a choice; you belong to God or to the evil one? Indecisiveness has to end. (Revelation 3:15 "I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So because you are lukewarm- neither hot nor cold- I am about to spit you out of my mouth.") Before I made the declaration of choosing God, I too was "lukewarm". Going to church, but still loving the things of the world. Partying more than I prayed, getting drunk anytime I could, having sex outside of marriage, listening to the wrong music, and surrounding myself with the wrong people. Not realizing that I was living a life of pretending; pretending that I love God but my life and actions said differently. (1John 2:15-16 "Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world- the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life- comes not from the Father but from the world.")
It wasn't until I was dealing with a broken heart and deep soul tie, that I fell on my face before God and begged Him to help me. I gave my entire life and soul to God and I been on fire for Him ever since! I believe that the same fire he put within me, he can give to you! Accept Him and His Promises, you will have to make adjustments for the Lord to come near but it will be worth it. Being born again requires us to put away childish things and be holy as He is Holy. (Corinthians 13:11 " When I was a child, I talked like a child, thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a (wo)man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.")
(Peter 1:15"But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do.")
Our lives should be a representation of that. It's time to pick sides. (1Corinthians 10:21-22 "You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons. Are we trying to arouse the Lord's jealousy? Are we stronger than he?")
Let go of what's holding you back, trust that God can and will deliver you from your struggles. Insecurity, drugs, pornography, lust, idolatry, lonlieness,pain, unforgiveness, bitterness, etc. Nothing is impossible for God. Think of all that God has done for you so far, what are you giving in return? I mean, you get excited about shows, concerts, money, material things, games, celebrities, clubs..but you show no excitement for The Living God!! The one person who can give you your hearts desires and who knows everything, who wouldn't want a relationship with Him? It's time to be on fire about God, stop taking Him for granted! Praise Him and Love Him with your actions! Not just the lip service on Sundays or when things go right for you. Lukewarm is not good enough for God! Who cares what people may think?
Take up your cross and Follow Christ anyway! Give Him ALL of you, not just some of you..He deserves that much! Be a living sacrifice, get rid of all that filth in your life. Give God room to work. It's worth it. Why risk your eternity for the things of this world? So the question is, are you hot or cold? Love and Blessings! -Reese😘
