MY FRIENDS, WHAT IS “A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER” ON YOUR JOURNEY?

My friends, as a Child of God are you capable of recognizing “A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER” on this journey our savior has placed us on. Remember “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.”

Therefore anything in your life that has become “A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER” to your salvation, must be placed at the feet of Jesus, as we cry out “LORD SAVE ME” “for I was shaped in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.” God told Jonah to “Arise, go to Nineveh that great city and cry against it, for their wickedness has come up before Me.”

Jonah 3:4 (KJV) tells us “Then Jonah began to go through the city one day’s walk; and he cried out and said, “in forty days and Nineveh will be overthrown.” My friends Surely God would not destroy man, or woman who only had the small insignificant problem of gossiping, or coveting their neighbor’s goods.

Friends, how God dealt with the Ninevites, gives us warning that God does not categorize our abominations, or determine their degree by social class, or race, for all sins are a “A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER” Jonah 3:5 (KJV) tells us “The Ninevites did believed what God said he would do through Jonah, so a fast was proclaimed, and all, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth.” and repented, Key word here is ALL my friends.

All the murderers, the fornicators, the thief’s, the liers. The adulterers, those who coveted, those who worshiped other Gods, even the one’s with only “Socially acceptable sins” in there life, ALL sins were proclaimed “A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER” The Ninevites did it in 40 days, the thief on the cross, in an instant, for others, a lifetime.

But God’s grace is sufficient for all, if you believe. If God gave you 40 days to repent and be saved where would you start, gossiping maybe, Paul tells us in Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. ”

What about wasting God’s time, Paul tells us in Ephesians 5:16-17 (JJV) making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” My friends I could continue, But the question is not about the sin itself, but how, or when, do you recognize it as a CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER and give it all to the Master.

Or when do we as sinners place our life up against our Savior and see how far we have to go to have the character of Christ. As Christians we attempt to explain away the biblical condemnations of one sin over another. The area where Sodom and Gomorrah was, is now uninhabited wasteland. Sodom and Gomorrah serves as a vigorous example of how God feels about sin in general.

Satan would like for us to think, one sin in Sodom, was greater than the other. Isaiah 64:6 (KJV) tells us “We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags. Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall, and our sins sweep us away like the wind.” Friends, what keeps us from given it all to the Master.

“For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him” But it starts with Faith. For the power of discernment has been placed within us and Through God’s Spirit we will recognize what in our life is A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER that keeps us from being in the presence of the Good Shepherd.

Soon My Friends Your Faith and endurance if you walk with Christ Daily, will allow you to be a candidate for God’s kingdom and life eternal, but a revival must take place from within as you finish up God’s mandate to take the gospel to all the world. So today you must have a passion and a vision that keeps you CLEAR OF ALL DANGER that would become detrimental to your salvation.

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
