Be Different! 

Be Holy
(click on link above )

Okay, so there seems to be a general theme that has been popping up throughout my week.

Something that has  become somewhat of a deal breaking issue for me in the kingdom of God - here and now.

Well, to be honest, it has always been something that has made gotten the attention of my spirit when I have noticed it. However, just this last week or so Holy Spirit has has me on "high alert" regarding this particular matter. Everytime I come across this situation my spirit jumps into high gear and I take in to the Lord in prayer.

So, yeah, I bet you are wondering what it is already, huh?

Well, you can find in the scripture. 1 Corinthians chapter 5. Yep. The entire chapter. Paul is addressing immorality in the church.

The scripture  that has been oh so prevalent these last days has been verses 9 - 11.

 ^9"I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people. ¹⁰ not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. ¹¹ But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people. of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God." 

The reason being these scriptures have been in the forefront of my heart and mind, these last fews weeks, has more to do with the call that has been placed on our lives to be transformed into the image of Gods own Son Jesus. To be "Holy as He is Holy" - to live a life worthy of the calling which we have received in Christ Jesus - than perhaps what we would normally associate with hearing as a sermon about this scripture. (although the basic teaching and meaning of this scripture is absolutely important. I am not saying at this time dis-associate with believers)

If I may - let me explain.

Well at least do my best to try and convey my thoughts about what I believe the Holy Spirit is most grieved over.

I will start with a picture - They say a picture paints a thousand words.

 ^"Therefore,

“Come out from them and be separate,

says the Lord."

In 2 Corinthians chapter 6

 Paul gives some  (helpful) examples how to live holy lives and be carriers of God's presence....for the end  and purpose of the glory of God and salvation (ultimately)  of others.

14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? ¹⁵ What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? ¹⁶ What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

“I will live with them

    and walk among them,

and I will be their God,

    and they will be my people.”

¹⁷ Therefore,

“Come out from them

    and be separate,

says the Lord.

Touch no unclean thing,

    and I will receive you.”

¹⁸ And,

“I will be a Father to you,

    and you will be my sons and daughters,

says the Lord Almighty.”

So this is what started this whole thing

***********************************************************

 "So he's a Christian?"

A question that was asked of me by a non believer of a Christian brother.

I guess this is pretty much how this all started.

This was the first one.

Then it was - the excuses.

"Well, "I" have the liberty in Christ to ____" (you fill in the blank).

Okay. So this blog post is not meant to point a finger at any one individual. 

Goodness knows we all have our days. It's just that I can't shake the urgency and being a watchman - I need to share.

So - I will say this.  

When I was asked the question, "So  he's  a Christian?"

My heart sunk.  I felt horrible inside. For several reasons. One, because, yes, this person is very much  a Christian. Two, because I started to think about myself. 

If this brother in the Lord was brought this response was I sure my everyday life wasn't causing others to think the same thought about me? Could non believers actually tell I was a Christian by my lifestyle?

This really affected me.

I have not been able to get away from this subject matter. When we as children of God and especially leaders in the Church have the world watching us and they do not see us as any different than them. 

This is problematic  Plain and simple.There is not much time left. We are truly living in the last days. 

We are not called to live like the world. To do as the world. 

There needs to be a definite - noticeable - difference - between  a believe in Jesus and a non believer. In every area of life.

Jesus loved everyone. He ate and drank and walked and talked with sinners.

Yes.

However - He did not partake IN their sinful acts. 

Instead Jesus shared the words of life with them. Mercy, grace, forgiveness, healing and deliverance.

As a Child of the Living God. As a believer in Yeshua. As a Christ follower.

We are called to do the same. To be ministers of reconciliation.

2 Corinthians 5:18

"All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation."

Do our neighbors KNOW we are such?

When a crisis happens will they runs to US knowing we are a praying people?

OR

Are we living with one foot in the world partying and with them and living life with them  no differently and  then coming to small group and church and putting on our God clothes?

*News Flash*

It is all or nothing with the Lord.

So I guess this is my encouragement to be set in our hearts as a reminder in Jesus to check our hearts to make sure that at all times both feet are walking in the path of the righteousness....and to remind us that  where 'ere we go and what 'ere we do - every moment of every day.

We are Ambassadors for Our Most Holy - Beloved - Lord - Yeshua Ha Mashiach.

And 

The world is watching.

Come! While there is still an open door!

These words above the pictures are taken from Psalms 73 vrs 23-28

Yet I am always with you. 

You hold me by my right hand.

You guide me with your counsel.

And afterwards - you will

Take me into glory!

Whom have I in heaven but you?

And earth had nothing I desire besides you!

My flesh and my heart may fail, 

But God is the strength of my heart

And my portion forever !

But as for me, it is good to be near God.

I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge.

I will tell of His deeds.

+*+ ***^++*+++=****++***+++*^++*^*+

The Lord, the mighty, glorious, all powerful , just, merciful, forgiving, ever loving. Lord of Lords and Kimg of Kings is SO INCREDIBLY beautiful. Beyond description. Defying any comprehension of human nature. Thee Lord - Thee one and only - our creator - is coming back here real soon! 

Coming to take for himself his rightful place - the royal crown over the people Israel. All who accept the invite to follow Him will be given "adoption" into the blood line and will be called sons (and daughters)  ----- time is running out!!

Come -  while there is still time! 

The Lord loves you!

God loves you!

Come now!!! 

I love you!!!

The four faces of Satan - here and Now

(disclosure: Amycolleen does not agree with the slogan on t-shirt . just using to make a point)

Dr. Carhart (when asked by the possible late term  abortion patient), 

Patient, "So a baby at this age, what am I, 26 weeks?"

Dr. Carhart, "26 weeks."

Patient, "Could not survive, if I was delived?"

Dr. Carhart, "If it came out? Oh ,yeah, probably - it probably - it probably would - probably."

The Dr. goes on in many gruesome ways 

to describe and try to emphatically  convince this patient to kill

 (and kill is exactly appropriate a term to use - just watch the video and you will see)

Her baby.

These four people in this picture  make my heart sink and my stomach turn sour.

Thus the title the
Four Faces of Satan.

There are different levels of evil wrongdoing.

Starting with that which is done in ignorance on it's way up to those that who are not ignorant but indeed are of full knowledge of their wrongdoing and are of a proud and haughty spirit in doing so. Along with a defiance against their creator and teaching others to do the same.

These four (along with other's I am sure) fall into this category.

Please wont you speak out against the wrongful death of the millions (so far) of babies that could not take a stand for themselves?

And 

Take a stand for LIFE
