ARE YOU PUTTING GOD FIRST - message #1 - 06-21-11

THOUGHTS: Do you start your day meditating on God's goodness, seeking His face, hearing His words - or dwelling on today's problems and challenges?

WORDS: Which come out of your mouth first: complaints and accusations - or - encouragement and gratitude, praise and adoration? Do you speak NOT AT ALL unless He gives you utterance?

DEEDS: Do you do ONLY THAT which the Lord tells you to do - or - do you do whatever you have placed in your agenda calendar, being swayed by worldly ways, things, family, friends

FEELINGS: Are your feelings shaping your relationship with God - or - are you allowing Him to shape your feelings? Do you know that it matters NOT how you FEEL about ANYTHING - only that you are IN OBEDIENCE UNTO HIM no matter WHAT?

FINANCES: Where are your "firstfruits" going: to worship God and advance His Kingdom - or - to pay your bills and buy new things?

YOUR LIFE IS ABOUT TO CHANGE RADICALLY - THE ONLY WAY TO BE READY FOR ALL THAT THE LORD WOULD HAVE COME TO PASS IS TO SEEK HIM FIRST AND IN ALL THINGS - TO BE OBEDIENT - TO SUBMIT YOURSELF TO HOLY SPIRIT....

There is a HUGE 'check' in my Spirit - it's like a huge mass - of anguish, sorrow, KNOWING but not fully knowing - that SOMETHING is about to happen - I am anticipating yet the grief brings sorrow - in that we are ONE BODY under our beloved Head, Lord Jesus Christ - we are joined, united in and through and by and for Him and His sake and His glory - really and literally YOUR TIME IS UP - the Lord literally 'drew a line in the sand' over 10 years ago and said "PICK A SIDE - Me or the world" - and you've continued as if nothing changed, nothing mattered - as if it's OK for you to live like everyone else in a world that's dying - that it didn't offend Him, didn't matter to you or your future - - - people live as if it will never changed - perhaps desensitized to "JESUS IS COMING SOON" or not caring anymore (?) - - - the time IS - it is NOW - Jesus IS now, He IS yesterday, He IS tomorrow - all that is and was and will be is in HIM - in the beginning, in the ending and in the NOW - - - what you were, are and will be is SET IN HIM - you MUST STEP INTO IT - INTO HIM - from this day forward....who has ears to hear....

"Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: shall not My Soul be avenged on such a nation and such a people as this?"
