Holy Life, Happy Jesus…Abundant Life

Holy Life, Happy Jesus...Abundant LifeFor God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit. (1 Thessalonians 4:7, 8 NIV)

Forward Friday!

Friday is good day to leave thoughts to help us move forward. We studied 1Thessalonians during Bible Study Fellowship this week. These are small books of the Bible, I encourage you to read and as you do, only way to go is forward. Our culture is embracing impurities, and lashes out in anger towards anyone trying to enlighten with truth.

Rejecting God

Paul loved the Thessalonians, and the church was solid. The statement made in chapter 4:8 is a great reminder for us today. When anyone rejects God’s instructions on holiness, or any other Biblical Truth, they are not rejecting the messenger, they are rejecting God. This is a tough life lesson to learn, because we can take these responses very personal. The more we study Scripture, greater our understanding will become, increasing knowledge and wisdom. When Scripture is rejected and then self ideologies group together forming false narratives like we are seeing today, especially in the Democratic party and those aligning with them. The lies are so striking different from reality, it’s hard to fathom how anyone can listen to fake news outlets. As I encourage all believers to pray.

Good Vs. Evil

God realizes when He is being rejected, they also reject His gift of The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a powerful source within every person who has accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Scripture informs The Holy Spirit’s identity- He is The Spirit of Truth, Counselor, Comforter, and one part of The Trinity. If anyone is confused or awakening from slumbering or deciding to no longer be indifferent…we can know the Truth, and the Truth will set us free. The Holy Spirit is wonderful in helping us discern between good vs. evil. All we need to do is pray and ask…then listen and not reject Jesus’ answer.

Battles

There is a fierce battle happening in America right now, and has been for the last 10 years. Could be said ever since Lucifer was kicked out of Heaven, to rule over earth. He constantly is roaming the airways…looking to see who he can devour. We do not want to be seen weak. In any moment of weakness, the devil can grip and bound faster than we can think possible. Just ask anyone and very few who overcome drug addiction- where just one use will lead a person straight into an addiction. Xanax and any opioid related prescriptions drugs- same way, unless very attentive, satan will grip after a few. Doctors are very aware of this now. The devil is quite gleeful with so many addicted to prescribed medications. This was too easy for him.

Holy

We have to return to holiness, allowing Scripture to define God’s holiness. We are not to remain in impure behaviors or even impure thoughts- thoughts turn to actions. Unless applying Scripture, taking captive every contrary thought. This is how Scripture helps us to remain pure and holy…With Christ, all things are possible to those who believe, leading us into an abundant life.

Be encouraged!
