Are you in or out????

It's all a test. Every day, every opportunity, every time you want to serve your flesh over a chance to do for the kingdom. You HAVE to decide are you in or out?  This is the big leagues. The end game. For all the chips! Its for your eternal soul.When you feel down or sad. When your frustrated or angry, when you don't see a light at the end of the tunnel. That is the MOST important time to push through. If you don't you will fall into the trap that the enemy has set. HE is always waiting on you. Waiting on you to slip up, let your guard down, just for a second, then Wham he will attack full force!!!! If you are rooted and grounded in the word of The Most High and sticking to his Laws statues and commandments then scripture tells us that when (NOT IF) when the enemy comes in like a flood.........

 

Have you ever seen a flash flood? It comes without warning. It rushes upon you and there is nothing that will stop it. It will go around over or under any thing of this world that you attempt to put up to block it. That is why we need to remember we are spiritual beings fighting a supernatural fight. And The Word says...

 There are conditions on that protection. Obedience being  number 1!

1 Samuel 15:22“And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.” 

Prov 4:5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

 Wisdom of Solomon Chapter 1:5 For the holy spirit of discipline will flee deceit, and remove from thoughts that are without understanding, and will not abide when unrighteousness cometh in.6 For wisdom is a loving spirit; and will not acquit a blasphemer of his words: for God is witness of his reins, and a true beholder of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue.

 Wisdom of Solomon Chapter 1:13 For God made not death: neither hath he pleasure in the destruction of the living.14 For he created all things, that they might have their being: and the generations of the world were healthful; and there is no poison of destruction in them, nor the kingdom of death upon the earth:15 (For righteousness is immortal:)16 But ungodly men with their works and words called it to them: for when they thought to have it their friend, they consumed to nought, and made a covenant with it, because they are worthy to take part with it.

Deuteronomy 6:24“And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.25And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.”

Psalms Chapter 34:17 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

You can give, you can pray, you can fast but if you do not obey he cannot protect you from attacks. We must also remember that there are things that happen that we see as evil and The Most High is using for refinement. If you are being obedient and still facing an overwhelming challenge know his plan is better then any you could fathom and focus on Him.
