Let's get it! Commune with Christ; it's easy to fall off.

"Communing with Christ is going to take some W.O.R.K. Satan and his workmen are on their P's and Q's!"

Recently it occurred to me that Satan and his workman are NOT sleeping. It is so easy to fall into his trap and simply FORGET ABOUT GOD! It’s important that we are constantly and steadfastly praying, reading our bibles and allowing the Word to make imprints on our hearts. If not, we are no longer under God’s protection.

Today, take some time out to commune with your Creator. Jesus said in John 10:10 “The thief comes to kill, steal, and destroy I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. (NIV) . Don’t allow Satan and his workman to blind you from constantly seeking fullness in Christ. It’s one of Satan’s tricks. All he wants to do is blind you from the truth and distract you with foolishness (i.e. pressures of life), but Christ wants to give LIFE.

Saints, do not be fooled! Galatians 6:7-10 says: 7Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature[a]will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.”

Remember that separation from God starts with the small stuff. First you miss one Sunday at church, then you stop reading your bible consistently, then you stop fellowshipping with the saints. By the time you know it you are in full communion with Beelzebub (Satan). So today, not only understand that Satan is out to separate you from God, but also understand that this Christian walk is a DAILY struggle and we MUST live with a “Battlefield” mindset. It says in Ephesians 6:11-13 “11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.” (read 14-18 for the full illustration)

Finally, forget your past transgressions (wrongdoings), you have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb (JESUS), so long as you have accepted that He is the son of God and died for your sins and press toward the goal of fulfillment in Christ.
The Apostle Paul says to the people of Philippi, in Philippians 3:13-14 “13Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”

Be encouraged brothers and sisters in the faith!
