WHAT TIME IS IT ?
It’s High Time!
And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. Romans 13:11 KJV
Many are playing church like they played games when they were children. We are not living in a fantasy world, we are living in reality which has percussions and consequences for the actions we take or the omission of actions we should have taken. It is High Time to draw a line in the sand and take a side.
(12) The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
(13) Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
(14) But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof. Romans 13:12-14 KJV
We cannot be for and against God at the same time and live effectively for Him. We cannot serve two Masters, we will hate one, and love the other. We cannot serve God and live our lives contrary to his revealed will for our lives. Either the tree is good or evil, the spring is either good or bitter, either we are a blessing or a cursing, we cannot make for provision for the flesh by feeding it every lustful morsel it craves and fill the vacuum of our spiritual needs, you will either feed the flesh or feed the spirit, it is impossible to feed both and live without contradiction, compromise, and confusion.
WALK IN THE LIGHT
(10) Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another;
(11) Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
(12) Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
(13) Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
(14) Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
(15) Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
(16) Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
(17) Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. Romans 12:10-17 KJV
The Spiritual man/woman is filled with peace that far exceeds natural comprehension. Why? Because it is a supernatural peace that emanates from God. It is a power that allows us to relax in our faith in God’s ability to fulfill us. It is a source that sets the mode for revelation and clarity. It’s high time that the Church extant becomes the heartbeat of God’s will, mind, and emotions for a lost and dying world. It’s high time that the Church extant becomes the refreshed, the renewed, and the revived in the proven principles, precepts, and protocols of God’s word. It’s high time to quit playing religious soap operas and become a vital source of stability in this confused world.
BE WHO YOU ARE CALLED TO BE AND BE BLESSED
(14) Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
(15) See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
(16) Rejoice evermore.
(17) Pray without ceasing.
(18) In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
(19) Quench not the Spirit.
(20) Despise not prophesyings.
(21) Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
(22) Abstain from all appearance of evil.
(23) And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:14-23 KJV
Brethren Keep the Faith today by being transformed by the renewing of your mind through the dedication and application of the Living Word of God. Knowing that the days are evil, find God’s perfect will for your life and pursue it with all your heart. Allow the word of God to ladle away the dross of sin and leave the precious pureness of his Spirit in you. Ask God where you are falling short, or not taking serious the responsibility of your spirituality, then allow Him to cleanse you and walk you through the steps to deliverance and freedom. Why? Because it’s High Time! Selah!
Shalom, Agape, & Amen!
