We are consumed by many things. Electronics, sports, television, money, etc. Things that will perish when we die. It should be our desire to be consumed by God. He is our passion.

Be on the alert. Jesus is coming again. Don't be afraid of events happening around us. God is cleaning house for His return. We don't know when He will return. We must be prepared and longing for Him. We must sound the alarm to get ready.

Strongholds are areas in our lives the enemy has built a fortress. If our attitudes and behaviors are against God's will, we give the enemy permission into our lives. We must align ourselves with God's will and drive out sin in our lives.

There is power in the spoken Word of God. The Word was spoken long before it was written. God spoke the world into creation. There is something amazing about speaking His Word. It builds our confidence was well as the ones who hear us. We put God's Word to work. The most important thing is that we must know the Word and how to use it.

John the Baptist testified of the coming of Jesus. He preached repentance of sins. Born again believers are called to testify of the 2nd coming of Jesus. We are to preach the repentance of sins through Jesus Christ. Jesus is coming back soon.

A confession of faith without obedience to the Word of God is nothing. Confession does not equate salvation. Many profess to know Jesus but are deceived. They are not in relationship with Him. They are deceived. Check out your salvation.

Ever wonder what is the will of God? There are two parts. The first is for all to come to salvation through Jesus. The second is to spend the rest of our lives spreading the Good News.

Ever listened to someone but not hear what they said? Ever heard someone tell a story and can see it in your mind? Our growth is much like this. We must hear and meditate on the Word of God. This will lead to revelation and we begin to see with our spiritual eyes. Once we begin to see, our faith will grow and we believe and get a vision of The Lord.

Church attendance does not equate salvation. There is deception in the church today. People believe they can live any way they wish and enter the Kingdom of God. They are not transformed and sold out. In the days of Noah, only 8 people made it out of the possibly millions alive at that time. What a sobering thought. Are you sure? Eternity is at stake.

Are we committed to the fight of faith? Are we in it to win it? We must be sure of our faith and in what we believe. We need to be in the faith full-time rather than we it suits us. Be steadfast, immovable, unshakeable.
