RED LETTERS, RED LINES, AND KINGDOM CHOICES

As a follower of Jesus, I am striving to be on a path leading to Maturity, Deeper Faith, and a Relationship That Grows Closer Every Moment. Our walk through this life and the places we call home are often not easy to navigate. Knowing Jesus has changed me in a multitude of ways, all for the better, but I must constantly push away the things of the Flesh that would love to engulf me. My life is full of incredible Blessings and I am So Grateful to God for all these things….but He has also awakened a Wisdom and Discernment in me that will distract me at times. I am acutely aware as a Christian that I am In The World. I am also acutely aware that also I Am Not Of The World. That knowledge is the key to understanding that ”here and now” is but a vapor, while Eternal Life is ETERNAL…and where that Eternity is Matters Greatly. God gives us all a very simple choice: Worship Him through the Salvation of His Son Jesus, or Be In and Of The World; in a Kingdom that unlike God’s Kingdom full of Light, thrives on Darkness. TWO DISTINCT KINGDOMS. TWO DISTNCT MASTERS. TWO DISTINCT FUTURES. In total Grace, God sent His Son, Jesus, that He might come as a man, and yet fully God, to walk among us and give us a glimpse of His Kingdom. In His Coming, God brought His Kingdom to earth, and it Lives and Thrives right now in those who call Jesus Lord, Savior, and King. God’s people cover the entire earth. Every Continent, Every nation, and Every people. Jesus came to save us all, and if we Strive to hear Him, and Seek His Word, an incredible and Eternal future awaits us. It Is The RED LETTERS Of Scripture. The passages in the Bible that are Specifically THE WORDS OF CHRIST ! Those Words are the Foundation of our Identity, Our Walk, and our Path and Purpose. The Words direct us, teach us, and correct us and most importantly SHOW US GOD’S VERY TRUTH ! They are Words that should go deep into our Hearts and show us the WAY TO LIVE. Jesus came to earth and selected a group of Disciples to go forth and Take Those Red Letters to ALL OF THE NATIONS, showing them the Kingdom Of God In It’s Fullness. Isn’t it amazing that much of Mankind “Rejected: these Words, and Still Do Today. The World places it’s “trust” in the wisdom of men, replete with rejection of God’s Holiness. Embracing things, ways, and paths that lead to darkness. And satan laughs with glee. How amazing that mankind, created by God, would embrace the very darkness and lies that satan will use to eventually destroy and enslave those very people ! Scripture makes it So Clear….

IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. John1:1

AND THE WORD BECAME FLESH AND DWELT AMONG US, AND WE HAVE SEEN HIS GLORY, GLORY AS OF THE ONLY SON FROM THE FATHER, FULL OF GRACE AND TRUTH. John 1:14

AGAIN JESUS SPOKE TO THEM, SAYING, “I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. WHOEVER FOLLOWS ME WILL NOT WALK IN DARKNESS, BUT WILL HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE.” John 8:12

AND BEING FOUND IN HUMAN FORM, HE HUMBLED HIMSELF BY BECOMING OBEDIENT TO THE POINT OF DEATH, EVEN DEATH ON A CROSS. THEREFORE GOD HAS HIGHLY EXALTED HIM AND BESTOWED UPON HIM THE NAME THAT IS ABOVE EVERY NAME, SO THAT AT THE NAME OF JESUS EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH AND UNDER THE EARTH, AND EVERY TONGUE CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER. Phillipians 2: 8-11

Are the RED LETTERS guiding your life ? Are you focused on them in your heart; spending the time and effort to let them permeate your very Heart and Spirit…or are they just for church time, bible study time, or discussion time. Great to read, even to contemplate, BUT HAVE THEY CHANGED YOU ? Moved you to confession of sin and Repentance ? And in these words, HAVE THEY GIVEN YOU ANY RED LINES THAT YOU TRULY BELIEVE CAN"‘T BE CROSSED ? Can you Imagine How Agrieved God Must Be as Christians sit in silence and watch Darkness and Evil move forward ? How the Church has embraced so many of the things God sees as wrong and yet a “false” understandng of love and grace leads to acceptance of sin and utter confusion to God’s principles and even one’s own Identity ? Are we so Lazy, so Comfortable, or so Scared of offending someone that we graciously join and pave the way for satan to corrupt our world ? Destroy our youth ? Openly accept False Teaching because it is Non Confrontational ? Have we as Christians overturned any tables in Our Father’s House ? Directed our funds to help people rather than destroy those in the Womb ? It is time for us to set some Red Lines of things We Won’t Tolerate Any More no matter what we are told to do by mere men. STAND UP FOR GOD AND HIS WORD. STAND UP FOR THOSE WHO CAN”T….or watch satan laugh every time we wax Religiosity and continue to help him destroy us. We need a backbone and we need UNITY ! Allowng sin and insanity to destroy other people is not Loving and it is not Righteous. It is time to embrace God’s Word and His Commandments and Stand Against Evil , lest we allow the past attrocities and new calamities to move forward unapposed. Fear Not, God is with you in all things according to His Purpose !

DO NOT BE OVERCOME BY EVIL, BUT OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD. Romans 12:21

BE SOBER MINDED; BE WATCHFUL. YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL PROWLS AROUND LIKE A ROARING LION, SEEKING SOMEONE TO DEVOUR. 1 Peter 5:8

FOR THE WRATH OF GOD IS REVEALED FROM HEAVEN AGAINST ALL UNGODLINESS AND UNRIGHTEOUSNESSOF MEN, WHO BY THEIR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS SUPRESS THE TRUTH. Romans 1:18

The Truth for Christians is as I stated earlier, there are Two Kingdoms that are constantly in Conflict. God’s Kingdom seeks to pull us toward Truth and Righteousness; love for our Creator and Father God, and also for our fellow man. The Kingdom of God shows us that kindness, patience, endurance, self control and humility are the things we should seek. The Kingdom of Darkness pushes a person toward self love, pride, fleshly pleasures, and always putting our needs, wants, and desires before others. A lack of compassion, and a desire to avoid standing for something or someone and Risk Losing Self Comfort. Always “Fearful” of losing something or failing…and yet GOD SAYS FEAR NOT ! I AM WITH YOU ! God’s Kingdom is Eternal Joy and Peace. Satan promises Eternal damnation and suffering. Satan and Evil have but one purpose…to suck you in and use you up until you are Utterly DESTROYED ! God has So Much Patience for us, because HE Loves Us. Many times I have cried out, “Isn’t it time yet for you to return and end this Lord ?” And Yet, why haven’t WE STOOD AGAINST WHAT WE KNOW IS WRONG ? I believe that we are coming to a place where RED LETTERS will guide us; RED LINES Must Be Drawn; and WE must personally put on our Kings Banner. I STAND FOR JESUS AND HIS KINGDOM ! Best be making YOUR CHOICE as well. JESUS IS KING, BE HIS/JAA

THEY WILL MAKE WAR ON THE LAMB, AND THE LAMB WILL CONQUER THEM, FOR HE IS LORD OF LORDS AND KING OF KINGS, AND THOSE WITH HIM ARE CALLED AND CHOSEN AND FAITHFUL. Revelation 17:14
