Get Serious

Lets get serious
1 Timothy 4:12 (NLT)
12 Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.


Don't use your age as a crutch or an excuse to not be saved....you can be saved at any age! But it's up to you whether or not you want to be! You've got to make up your mind; either you're saved...or...unsaved? -There's no inbetween!- You're either going to be cold...or...hot?, not lukewarm! One foot in the world and one foot in the church just won't do! You've got to be sold out...better yet Souled Out to God...Totally completely dedicated to Him! Amen


Revelation 3:15,16 (NLT)
15 “I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other! 16 But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!"

God Has the ability to keep you from falling, do you want to be kept?
Jude 1:24 (NLT)
24 Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault. 25 All glory to him who alone is God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are his before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time! Amen.

Deny Yourself
Matthew 16:24-26 (NLT)
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me. 25 If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. 26 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?"


Understand this...distractions will come, temptations will come...but God has already provided a way of escape! The bottom line is you must have a made up mind! When your mind is made up nothing will stop you from serving the Lord as you should! Your thoughts should be that of; "God no matter what comes my way I will serve You, Lord in everything I do Your Name will be glorified, Lord I will keep my eyes upon you, Lord I must decrease, that you may increase, with my LIFE I worship You!"
As we die to self and deny ourselves it will be less of a struggle, enabling God's Spirit and God's word to have free course in our lives. Just let God have His way!!!!!!! It's all about Jesus anyway...always has been and always will be! Amen. Hallelujah
(Be Kingdom minded and you will prosper as your soul prospers! Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God!)


As I write this and minister to you I'm also writing/ministering to myself...we all have areas to grow in! There's always a higher goal to shoot for. So lets continue to... Press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Phil 3:14)

Hebrews12:1-3 1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. 2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God's throne. 3 Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people; then you won't become weary and give up.

~Young people know that your identity has always been and will forever be in Christ-Our Lord, Our Creator. Don't get caught up in materialistic superficial things-things that will fade away for they will bring NO true fulfillment. Only the Lord can fill our voids. And until you come into the knowledge of Him, accept Him as your Lord and Savior, develop a personal relationship with Him there will forever be an emptiness in your heart-an emptiness within you! If you delight yourself in God He will give you the desires of your heart. If you draw nigh to God He will draw nigh to you! God loves you and knows what is best for you-Trust Him!~

Matthew 11:28-30 28 Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light."

Heavenly Father create in us a clean heart and renew a right spirit within us. Lord sanctify our minds, sanctify us wholly from this world, from sin. Give us the mind of Christ Jesus. Cover and cleanse us in Your Blood, make us as white as snow. Deliver us from all that is evil forgive us of all our sins-Put us [back] in right standing with You. May Your Holy will be done now and forevermore. In the Mighty Name of Jesus. Amen

Psalm 139:23,24 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.


..Let Go, Let God, Be Blessed..
