Don't Fall Away

 2 Thessalonians 2:3,4

It is possible to fall away from the faith.

It is possible to be in the faith, to be a follower of the Lord but choose to fall away from the Lord.

Jesus doesn't lose anyone, we lose Him by choosing to fall away from Him.

John 17:12

People fall away from God because they were deceived and led astray.

Matthew 24:11

People fall away from God because they were seduced by false doctrine, false ministers and evil spirits.

Matthew 24:24

People fall away from God because they chose darkness over light.

John 3:14

People fall away from God because they follow the desires of their flesh over the Spirit of God.

Galatians 5:17

Just as sheep can fall victim to predators like wolves if they wander off from the direction and voice of their shepherd, a believer can also wander away by choice against the wishes of the good Shepherd.

Judas Iscariot is an example of a sheep  who wandered away from the leadership of the Shepherd (Jesus) because he was seduced by the love of money and fell victim to the wolf (Satan).

Like Judas Iscariot of old, many will fall away from the path of life in these end times.

This must be part of the reason Jesus asked the question if He will find faith on earth when He comes back.

Luke 18:8

The path of faith is not exactly an easy path.

This is why many don't follow God or choose not to follow God anymore if they had followed God previously.

Matthew 7:13,14

If the path of faith was easy it will not be the narrow way.

The narrow way is a way that is very easy to fall away from.

Don't fall away.

Learn to endure.

All great things are often built on endurance.

It is those who endure to the end that will be saved.

Matthew 24:13

Be a worthy vessel for God.

Shine for God.

Endure to the end.

Keep going with God so that you don't lose your reward and so that you don't lose out in eternity.

Those who fall away are often deceived, they have found a better path, an easier way, or a path they feel is worth their time more.

Proverbs 14:12

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
