Scripture Reference: Revelations 12:7-12

Be it Our LORD’s Will, we will get to part 2 of “You Are A Light” next week. As we get ready to dive into this particular passage of Scripture, GOD wants to bring our attention to the people, places, things and/or ideas (ideologies included) that we all need to “cast out” of our lives. You may be saying: “He doesn’t know me or what I have going on in my life!!!” You know what, that’s a beyond fair rebuttal.. but GOD does!!! Approaching this with yes all transparency at the forefront, I assure you that this flawed servant of GOD is taking his own inventory as I’m typing this. Thoughts just pouring in.. but let me not get ahead of what GOD is teaching each of us in this. So hey, let’s dive in!!!

Isaiah 57:3-14 / Jeremiah 7:8-15 / Mark 12:41-44 / 2 Corinthians 10:3-7

Final Thought: Hey look, who said this way is easy.. we as humans within ourselves struggle with keeping the right thoughts (Philippians 4:8). Our GOD in His infinite all wise, all knowing and all seeing being already took into account that who and what He created would falter, slip, being in this fleshly, earthly body we would make excuses for not obeying Him and some even turn our faces completely away from Him (Genesis 6:5-6).. that is until we get into trouble and that’s when the reality bites and bites hard. See, He never intended for us to find our own way walking blindly through this dark World (John 14:6), nor did He intend for us to stay down in the pits of our own thoughts, actions and beliefs (Psalm 43:5). What Our GOD intended, was that we live holy (perfected) lives until we die or He returns, whichever should come first. So ask yourself and I mean really search deep within yourself and ask GOD to help you to not only answer the call, but moreover to take away (Ezekiel 11:19) any and all stubborn idealisms, hidden agendas, disobedient traits, unrighteous actions and idol worship (Hebrews 13:16). In the end, we all will stand in front of Him.. what do you want to hear Him say (Luke 13:26-28)?
