MY FRIENDS, GOD NEEDS OUR UNDIVIDED ATTENTION ARE WE READY?

We as Humans with our limited finite minds have what we all call a “limited attention span” which are usually becomes the language of our brain which  are pictures, sounds, feelings, tastes and smells. And that is why the language that we interpret or bring into our minds on a daily basis must be all about God and His will for us, If or goal is God’s kingdom. Paul tells us.

“So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” 2 Cor. 12:7-9 (ESV)

My friends, whatever we encounter in our lives Whatever “limited attention span” we may have, God’s “grace is sufficient” Because He created us He knows our breaking point, and He is not going to take us there. His goal is only our salvation and His children remaining heirs to His kingdom. Once again bring up John Huss Because we have to humanize someone else’s Journey in-order to understand the war that is being fought over our Souls daily.

“When he had been fastened to the stake, the martyr was once more exhorted to save himself by renouncing his errors. “What errors,” said Huss, “shall I renounce? I know myself guilty of none. I call God to witness that all that I have written and preached has been with the view of rescuing souls from sin and perdition; and, therefore, most joyfully will I confirm with my blood that truth which I have written and preached. He then began to sing, “Jesus, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me,” and so he continued till his voice was silenced forever. (E.G. White, The Great Controversy)

My friends, has Christ ask us to do any less. But first, self must die daily, and a new life must begin in Christ, nothing else should matter but our desire to escalate Christ in our life. He must be the focal point. Our eyes are to be forever “looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2 (KJV)

So as we escalate Christ we will begin to diminish self to the point of death as we recognize it is not about us. But there also must be a willingness to subject our small and insignificant Minds and desires to the greater goal of serving Christ and taking up our cross as we tell others of the good news of Christ soon return.

And as we approach the end of this great controversy we must be “crucified with Christ [where it is] no longer [you or I] that live, but [it is] Christ who lives in us. And the life [we] now live in the body, [we] live by faith in the Son of God, who loved [each of us] and gave himself for us.” Galatians 2:20 (KJV) And my friends, that means we can no longer “allow sin to establish any power over our mortal bodies……Nor hand over our bodily parts to be, as it were, weapons of evil for the devil’s purpose.” My friends, Christ needs our undivided attention are we ready?
