MY FRIENDS, “IS THE LINE OF DEMARCATION INDISTINCT IN YOUR LIFE?

MY FRIENDS, “IS THE LINE OF DEMARCATION INDISTINCT IN YOUR LIFE?

My friends Satan usually starts out hiding his agenda when he has us believing that our “socially acceptable sins” will not really jeopardize our goal in finishing our journey to the promise land.

But then like Quicksand, it all begins to blend in with our surroundings and everything we try to do by ourselves only allows the embedded mud, or sin to just keep dragging its victims slowly underneath as we sink deeper and deeper.

In addition, “in time we no longer [have the appearance of God’s Chosen, a] separate and peculiar people, [because] The line of demarcation is indistinct. The people are subordinating themselves to the world, to its practices, its customs, its selfishness……

[but] all expect to be saved by Christ’s death, while they refuse to [carry their crosses, or] live His self-sacrificing life. They extol the riches of free grace, and attempt to cover themselves with an appearance of righteousness, hoping to screen their defects of character; but their efforts will be of no avail..” (Christ’s Object Lessons, p. 316) “when God says it is finished.”

And once we have reached that point where “the line of demarcation [becomes] indistinct,” we then begin to “call evil good and good evil, [We also will] put darkness for light and light for darkness,…” Isaiah 5:20 (ESV)

My friends, life becomes complicated, with no hope in sight when we begin to allow the things of this world to occupy our mind and body instead of Christ. And when that happens, it’s easy to lose our focus and get dragged into the abyss of total destruction.

And just like quicksand, sin will have a disastrous result because sin is contagious, scandalous, repulsive and complete, all attributes forced on us by Satan which causes a child of God to go as far as possible until we are completely submerged.

Remember my friends, sin will always take you farther than you ever thought you would go as it slowly takes control of our senses because we are not focused on that Journey Christ has placed us on. That is why it is important to, know who we are in Christ.

John 1:12 (KJV) tells us “But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” Also we must recognize our privileges as a child of God.

Psalm 8:4-6. (KJV) tells us “What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And you have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet.”

In addition, we must be fully aware through God’s word and Spirit, what power, and authority we have as Gods chosen against Satan and the forces of Evil.

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 reminds us For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ”

My friends Paul tells us in 2 Cor. 4:3-4 (NKJV) But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them”

So my friends, today we must ask ourselves, Why is the gospel veiled to everyone who is perishing? And if  our goal is to seek Gods kingdom then we will recognize that It is veiled to everyone who is perishing because the god of this world has blinded those who has allowed that line of demarcation to become indistinct by not allowing God’s Spirit to take full control.

So let’s continue to pray without ceasing and through God’s word and Spirit continue to say “Lord not my will but thou will be done”

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