Do Not Get Off Track
Apostle, Dr. Meta James metajamesministries@gmail. Y com ou know I have been thinking about what has been going on in the world and the level of difficulties people are facing.

The greatest problem facing so many is death. To the believers we know to be absent from the body is to be in the presence of the Lord, but what about the unbeliever? This is where my heart aches. People have left this earth without accepting the Lord. We know that after death to judgement we all must go and only two homes: eternal life or eternal
damnation. The pain of burying a loved one; but do they know the Lord? Has our loved one, friend, acquaintances accepted Jesus and letting the fruit of the Spirit be evident in their life?
We turn on the news and we hear about shooting, missing children, the senseless killings of George Floyd and so many others. I know many discuss over and over and get angry and national guard gets called out to guard so many states.
Again, as much as it hurts to even view this on TV, and even talk about it, I still hear the spirit of God say, “Don’t get off track”. Our greatest commission seems to be overtaken by the TV, social media daily conversation with friends and family. Jesus is Alpha and Omega He knows that in this day and time what we would be going through and He does not change. We must get our focus back on track and encourage others
to accept Jesus into their heart. Every opportunity we get, it is our duty to win souls for Christ.
Please do not get me wrong, I feel the pain of all the injustice and crimes happening, but we have to offer hope for this world. We cannot be so overwhelmed that we get off track and forget to offer a peace that passeth understanding. Precious people of God, during Jesus’ most difficult times He turned to the Father as an example for us. Flooding our eye gates, ear gates and our heart with trauma day after day is not what our Lord desires for us.
We meet people in the supermarket and strike up a conversation with them about current events, but how about us being the person that will say that Jesus loves you and is concerned about your life. My friends, talking about death over and over brings discouragement and no hope. Let us turn it around and be that light in these dark times. I do not negate the facts that terrible things are happening, and God knows that I have prayed that justice prevails and that everything done in darkness will be brought to light. My heart is that Lord help us to remember that ‘God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life’.
I decree that we will repent and get things right with the Lord. I decree life in these dead situations, that all the violence will stop, and people will treat each other with dignity and respect. I decree that we as the body of Christ will rally together and speak hope to those that feel hopeless. I decree that our children will turn to Jesus and not fall for the tricks of the enemy. I decree that marriages will be whole and that husbands will love their wives as Christ loved the Church. I decree that children will be obedient to their parents in the Lord. I decree that we will put the Lord first in everything that we do.
This is how we get back on track and once we do this, then we can help those that seem to have lost their way and believe that Jesus has abandoned them. We can do all things through Christ Who strengthens us! Hold on my friend, and do not lose your faith in Jesus, for He will never leave nor forsake you.
