REALITY CHECK

If you knew the gravity of the situation, would you address the problem immediately?   If I told you, you hold ‘life and death’ in your hands would you listen?

Life, and death are one.    We can not come into life without knowing death is facing us.   Yet, few address the ‘problem’.    Few consider that in life we are preparing for death.   Yet, how prepared are we?

If you wished to come and stay with me, and you knew only I had the keys, would you take time to find out the way to my house?   Or would you just presume you knew how to get there?

In this ‘modern world’, where if you have the address, you put it in your GPS and you have the answer, then no worries, right?

Well, heaven does not have an  address!   You can not get there by putting it in your GPS.   Have you asked?    Do you want to know the way?   Does it matter to you in the grand scheme of your life and death?

Death is imminent!   Absolute.   Only the directions home are not so easy.   It must be asked for!

Though we would all like to believe we ‘own ‘ heaven, that is not the case.

Really, people believe they own heaven.    That is why they do not put any magnitude into the equation.    The equation being, life!

God is great!   He loves us!   In loving us, He has taught us how to love.

The example:   Jesus Christ, loves the less fortunate.   The less fortunate being you and I.   Yes, we are the less fortunate!   For, we are invited to ‘His House’.   It is He who is King!   It is He who is the Son Of God!   It is He who holds the keys to the kingdom of heaven; and He who knows!   Knowing who knows Him, He decides who is invited in.

Are you invited in?     We can not know the way unless we ask!   No matter who you are, you need to ask!

For Jesus says, ‘ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock, and it will be opened to you.’    If you knew with certainty He was speaking about coming ‘home’ would you still be to arrogant to get on your knees and ask?    ‘Ask’ for forgiveness, and ‘seek’ Him out, so that He would show you the way home?   So that one day you may ‘knock’ on His door and He will say, Welcome Home!   I’ve been expecting you!   Rather than out of my sight you evil-doer, I know you not!

For we face good and evil in all things.   No matter what it is!   Satan destroys !   He lives to destroy, and takes delight in it!   He laughs at  disharmony and unrest!   This is His way!  Anything and anyone that God loves, He waits to destroy!   You must be on guard, and your soul must be protected by the ‘Blood of The Lamb Of God’!!   If it is not ‘protected’ by the ‘blood of theLamb’ then you have no shield!    You are in the battle of your life, and you are fighting alone!!

Jesus Christ is King!    The battle is for the Kingdom of Heaven!  You can not begin to know  how to fight,  if you have not called upon Christ!  you are lost!   He is the only way,  the way, the truth and the life!!

Book of John:  Chapter 14 Verses 5-8

5) “Lord, said Thomas, “We do not know where you are going.   how can we know the way?”   6) Jesus told them:   “I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father but through me.   7) If you really knew me, you would know the Father also.   From this point on you know him; you have seen him.”

Book of Luke:   chapter 18 verse 17  Jesus Speaks:

17)”Trust me when I tell you that whoever does not accept the kingdom of God as a child will not enter into it.”

Book of Matthew: Chapter 10 Verses 37-40 Jesus Speaks:

37)”Whoever loves father or mother, son or daughter, more than me is not worthy of me,  38) He who will not take up his cross and come after me is not worthy of me.  39) He who seeks only himself brings himself to ruin, whereas he who brings himself to nought for me discovers who he is.   40) “He who welcomes you welcomes me, and he who welcomes me welcomes him who sent me.”

Book of Matthew Chapter 7 Verse 7-11 Jesus Speaks:

7)”Ask, and you will recieve.   Seek, and you will find.   Knock, and it will be opened to you.   8)  For the one who asks, recieves.   The one who seeks finds.  The one who knocks enters.   9) Would one of you hand his son a stone when he askes for a loaf, 10) or a poisonous snake when he asks for a fish?  11)  If you, with all your sins, know how to give your children what is good, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to anyone who asks him!”   

Book of Ephesians: Chapter 6 verses 10-17 Christian Warfare

10) “Finally, draw your strength from the LORD and his mighty power.   11) Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil.   12) Our battle is not against human forces but against the principalities and powers, the rulers of this world of darkness, and evil spirits in regions above.   13)  You must put on the armor of God if you are to resist on the evil day; do all that your duty requires, and hold your ground.   14) Stand fast, with the truth as the belt around your waist, justice as your breastplate, 15) and zeal to propagate the gospel of peace as your footgear.   16) In all circumstances hold faith up before you as your shield; it will help you extinguish the fiery dart of the evil one.   17) Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, the word of God.”
