MY FRIEND, ARE WE WILLING TO ELIMINATE SATAN AND WALK THAT NARROW ROAD?

“For this [we] were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that [His Children] should follow His steps:….. and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds [we] were healed. For [we] were continually straying like sheep, but now [we] have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of our souls.1 Peter 2:21(NKJV) Or are we allowing the god of this world to keep us from being “safe to Save,” because we take our marching orders from him?

Yes our Creator is the Guardian of our souls which gives us a sense of destiny that should  motivate us to endure on this journey Christ has placed us on but we first must eliminate Satan entirely from our agenda. “The Second Coming of Jesus is mentioned more than three hundred times in the New Testament. And it is the capstone of our teachings. It is also essential to our identity as a [body of believers in our Christian faith].

The doctrine is engraved in our name, [Christian believers], and it is a crucial part of the gospel that we are called to proclaim [God’s promises]. And without our faith and those promise we proclaim. Satan then keeps us [“wandering down some pointless road to nowhere with us trying to save ourselves and he knows how that would go]” (Carlos A. Steger) So we can never “let our heart’s wander aimlessly from where God is leading us.

But our focus must remain on a shared vision that Christ has gone to prepare a place for us, and He will [surely return soon] to receive you and I as Heirs and joint heirs with Christ His Son to  God’s kingdom. As God’s children the truth must be embedded within us while at the same time we must have this driving passion that motivates us to be a disciple of Christ and take up our cross and follow Him.

And as leaders we must lead by example, willing to do whatever it takes to serve Christ. Now is “not the time to break Under the weight of this world and Satan for one day this earth will pass away along with all that is an abomination to God. So we must keep listening and seeking our Savior’s quiet voice in all the noise, and “breaking news” of this world. Christ needs us to tell the world He  conquered death on Calvary for all of our sins.

Which tells us, no one will be shut out of the process of transformation and reformation in preparation for Christ second coming. But it is our choice not to accept God’s invitation and “enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. [But] the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.” Matt. 7:13-14 (ESV)

But salvation and life eternal can only be obtained on that narrow road as we “press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus,[until our character is un-changeable and un-movable but always abounding in the Lord.” Phil 3:14 (KJV) So as God’s vessel our goal is to allow the Spirit of God to transform our lives and renew our Character in Christ and then “as the deer pants for the water brooks, so [our] soul [will then] pant after God to create within us a pure heart, one that is ready to see God” Ps. 42:1 (ESV) Ps. 51:10 (NIV)
