Pray for those whose focus is this world and not Christ. Let all decisions be guided by the Holy Spirit and not our flesh!!!!
Rejecting the cultural Christianity I grew up with to embrace and enjoy a relationship with Jesus Christ. A place to come and share thoughts about almost anything. Especially things of the Lord. Please no Anonymous posts, I enjoy knowing who is writing to me.

Looking Up Do Not Look Around
The devil is causing all kinds of fear and fighting for no good reason, over everything.
1 Peter 5:8 "Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walketh about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."
God said; "when you see these things happening, look up for your redemption draws near."
God said; "when you see these things happening, look up for your redemption draws near."
Luke 21:27-28 "…27 At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 When these things begin to happen, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
Notice God never said, "look all around, get angry at all you see and judge and upset your brothers and sisters."
God never said to look around raking up muck to be angry about so we can give the devil place to distract the believers from Christ and further cause fear in unbelievers. It was the devil placing these things in the minds of those who are not focused on Christ.
We ought to be encouraging one another in the body of Christ and allowing the unbelievers to see our steadiness and lack of worry as we trust in Christ.
Too many Christians are falling into the trap of continual fear and anger sending a wrong message about the Christian walk.
1 Thessalonians 4:17-18 "…17 After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words."
Please brothers and sisters; LOOK UP, we are going home soon!!!!!
