Someone here needs this....

Normally I only post the long posts in our Bible study page, but someone here needs this. So just keep scrolling if you don't want to read it, but if it's you, then I'm praying for you!

Colossians 3:22-25

KJVS

Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: [23] And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; [24] Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. [25] But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

- Obey. Obey in all things, not because of man but because of God. There is a spirit of rebellion against you. Cast it down and obey! Obedience brings grace which brings the blessing of the Lord. Rebellion brings chaos and destruction, none of which is as God, the God of order and peace.

- Adam and Eve once rebelled, they rebelled because they said in their heart that they could be like God, and make their own decisions. No harm will become of me, because I will be like God. Once I taste and see that death is far apart from me, then I'll be as God Most High, able to live and choose on my own, I'll need no help, I will have the answers.

- The lust of the flesh consumed them, they did eat and they did see. They opened their eyes and realized they can make their own choices and death will not consume them immediately. They did not know death, death was not with them yet. But they did learn, they learned through the curse, the curse of rebellion. Satan controlled them and there was no way back anymore, their spirit soul and body now corrupt. They chose to rebel against God and now they can't see the way to life, only to death, though they perceive what they think is right but it really only lead to death.

1 Samuel 15:23 KJVS

For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king.

- Rebel not! Cast down the vain imaginings of your self laiden image! Trust in the Lord with all your heart, do His will, rebel not!

John 14:5-6 KJVS

Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

[6] Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

- Jesus is that way of old. In the garden he walked and talked with his creation, until they rebelled against him. They made the decision to think their own thoughts, to be their own being. They decided to trust in themselves and not in God. Believe when He says you will never enter into the Kingdom of God unless you are born again! You must return BY DECISION to Him, you must trust His ideas, His way, His life. Today you have a decision, you can listen to yourself, which has brought you to exactly where you are today, or you can DECIDE to trust in Him, hear His voice, and walk again with Him in the garden. Choose today not to reb- el, choose today obedience!

Leviticus 11:45 KJVS

For I am the Lord that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

- Jesus loves you so much! He sees your struggle, and He is declaring to you the truth! But you must make the decision to know Him again, not to know your own way but to know His way, the truth and the life. God said YOU be Holy because I AM Holy, or in other words, make the same decisions I make. When you choose to follow Him, you truly know and have life eternal and can now rest in His love. God bless you, we're all praying for you!

- Here's how to ask Jesus into your heart:

Father God, I humble myself before you today. God I know that you sent your son to reap what I have sewn. I know he paid the debt of sin that I have collected before you. I confess that I am a sinner in need of salvation and I ask for your forgiveness today Lord. Come into my heart and help me to be cleansed of all my iniquities. I believe in my heart that you have risen from the dead and I confess with my mouth that you are Lord. Thank you for your grace and I receive your mercy by faith in your name, the name of salvation today. Thank you Lord, amen.

- Hebrews tells us that if you come to God, you must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those that dilligently seek Him. So be not ashamed, your reward is in Him! Be bold in the grace you now have, speak His name, Yeshua! The name of salvation! God bless you and your decision to follow Him, peace be with you!
