Where Do We Stand?

There IS AN Order AND A Purpose to ~ALL~ things, and that Order & Purpose Belongs TO God, IT IS HIS WILL that we must abide by, *IF* we would be ~Obedient followers OF HIS Son Jesus Christ….. YET SOOOooo.. Many folks try to change that order, and put God where they want HIM TO Be. Instead of doing the things that IS Written, IN HIS Holy Book, The order IN Which we must live to be found in HIS Favor, and not in opposition to HIS Will and Way, folks try and turn things around to please themselves, mankind, the flesh, and then ~~ADD~ God to IT….. Ever listen to the testimonies of loyalty, that many people give… you hear, “I love”, ~then~ comes, *MY*, then material things, ~like~ *MY Country*, *MY flag*, *MY life*, *MY freedom*, AND then at the end comes, *MY God*….. Well, that is exactly how many, many people live this life here on this earth, in the flesh, that was ~Only~ *Granted* them BY God, and for, ~THE~ *Purpose* of proving themselves, …one of two ways… Either True followers of Christ, pledging their loyalty only to God The Father, BY HIS Ensign, Jesus Christ, and THE Kingdom of Heaven, OR… a true follower of the adversary Satan the devil, the serpent….. NEED BIBLE PROOF? GOT MILK? READ!
(I Samuel 12:15)…. BUT ..*IF* ye ~~Will Not~ Obey the voice of THE *LORD*, But rebel against the ~~Commandment of the LORD, ~~THEN~~ Shall the Hand OF THE LORD Be *Against* you, AS IT Was against your fathers…
(I Peter 4:2-3) .. (Peter warned that we IF we are going to follow Jesus, we MUST Without doubt or hesitation) …. “*NO Longer live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, ~BUT~ TO *The Will OF God*, Forasmuch Then ~as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with *The Same Mind*… For He that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; THAT he *NO* longer should ~live~ the ~Rest~ of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, ~~BUT~~TO~~ THE *Will of God*” ….
(So there IS More to becoming a Christian then just ~~saying~~ I Believe IN Jesus, getting Baptized, and gitting on with the business with our life in the World… There IS a duty TO put away the old and accept, mentally, physically, and bodily, THE WORD, and Follow IT.)(II Peter 1:21)… For the ~Prophesy~ came not in Old Time ~~BY The Will OF Man: BUT Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost…. AND!
(If you read all the Old Writings you will find that they are *ALL* in one accord…. One does not elaborate on a make believe tale of fantasy , while another details the need to color and hide and hunt eggs to remember that Jesus was resurrected, and yet another, runs off to celebrate the luck of a people, by wild and frenzied dancing in the streets….. SOOOooo… why would you, IF you have a respectful fear of the LORD, First show the world a denial of God, and secondly degrade yourself in the world of pagan customs and traditions?
Then there are many that call themselves followers of Christ, and go about living as they please in the world, forgetting that God even exist, in their lives until… they have a ~NEED~ *They* ~~WANT~~ then they run down to the alter in tears and beg the LORD to deliver unto them the things that they have need or want of…. AS soon as this need or want is met, then they skip off willy nilly into the world again…. How long do you think that God WILL receive the ~~wolf criers~?
There is a song, “God on the Mountain, IS Still God in the valley”…. BUT many tend to seek God, cry and weep in despair for relief, when the valley is low and dark, finances, health, safety, IS threatened…. They cry out to God…. BUT When they are on the safety of the mountain again, and ALL IS Well, then they sing out their praises for the Nation, IT’S Flag, ~Their~ Freedom, because of where they live and who they are, all IS Well…. Look AT *ME*, *I* have a birthday, *I* accomplished so many years in this life…. In marriage, in business, in popularity….
They run out and join protest to, “Keep God & THE Flag” IN public events…. HUH? Wouldn’t you think that a TRUE follower of Christ, would realize that because the government of a county, or the peoples of a nation, does not accept and realize that GOD IS ALL, doesn’t make HIM Any Less, Over, Under, & ALL Around, ALL things that be…. Wouldn’t you think that a True Follower of God’s Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, would as the Bible states, carry HIM Within us, since we are the living temple of the LORD, (I Corinthians 3:16 & 6:19) & (II Corinthians 6:16) ..and so wherever we are then, God IS There, and we must be the first to recognize and reveal HIM To the people, nations, countries… But when we walk among the nations, trying our best to be a part of their ways, and trying to run things in accordance with our own wills then what dose the nations see? A very dishonest person, that talks out of both sides of their mouth, Because, Jesus Said, “Ye can’t serve BOTH: God & Mammon… (Luke 6:13)…
IT IS Usually, *ALL* About *ME*… either ~~Poor ME~~ or ~Wonderful ME~… When IS God lifted up? BECAUSE, without GOD, Without HIS Purpose, HIS Will, HIS Plan, *ME* would not be… AT all….. AND, we the people who say we believe and follow Christ, MUST realize THAT *IF* God had placed us on the most precarious peak in the coldest nation of the world, our allegiance must still be to HIS Kingdom… Because *IF* God puts us in IT HE can certainly take us out of IT, whether IT IS A Good or Bad situation, a good or bad nation, we are to seek God’s Kingdom… … SOOOOooo… IT IS God THAT IS IN Control of ALL Things and IT IS God WHO Deserves our thanks, praise, honor, glory, loyalty , & allegiance….!!!
(Romans 12:2)…. “BE NOT Conformed to this world: BUT Be ye transformed by the ~~Renewing~~ of your mind, That ye may **PROVE** what IS THAT Good, and Acceptable, & Perfect, **WILL OF GOD***……
(I Thessalonians 4:3).. FOR THIS IS ~~THE~~ Will of God, Even ~your~ Sanctification, *That ye should abstain from fornication*….. (AND This is not just fleshly fornication but spiritual as well… for all who disobey God’s Will and Way are adulterers and adulteresses)…(James 4:4)… “Ye adulterers & Adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world IS ~~Enmity~~ with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world IS the enemy of God….. (Pretty clear, that when you stand and pledge allegiance with a nation any where, any time you are standing in opposition to God’s Kingdom.)
