Beware

​Love you all, praying for you,

I just love God’s Word.  It gives warnings.  It talks about a perverse heart, something that can come upon you unawares.  A slow decline, until it becomes you.  Beware, if you are perverse in your thinking… slow to obey, letting the habit of instant and complete obedience, slip a little…  know that sin is crouching at your door, it desires to have you, but you must master it.  Sin is no joke, it sucks, it will trap you.  Grumbling, complaining, pride, slander, greed, anger – it can slip in.  When you leave your house, remind yourself of what God says. Review the PRISM Topic – Speak Life, How To Be Humble, Kindness, and How to Treat People, Diligence and any other Topic that the Holy Spirit prompts you.  There’s a difference between knowing about God’s Word, and knowing it.   Having it planted in your heart, marinating in it, until you can’t think any other way than God’s way.  The devil’s deception become obvious, and you can call it out immediately.  And declare that your course is different.  You resist the devil until he flees from you, and turn to God, in praise and prayer and faith, and obedience.  Be sure you fill daily, even moment by moment… the warehouse of your mind and heart – so the shelves are full.  Then when any situation arises, God’s Word will get pulled instantly - to overcome with.  See pride coming, and choose humility instead.  Chose humility every day, and pride will stay away.  See grumbling and complaining coming, and choose praise and thanksgiving instead.  See slander coming and choose to bless instead, see doubt coming, and choose faith instead.  See bitterness coming, and count your blessings instead.  Know His promise.    First Commit your heart to obey.  David said, I have inclined my heart to obey your Word. David told his heart and his mind - "I will obey your word!"  Second, Know what His Word says – come back to PRISM constantly, so you soak in His Word and it transforms your mind.  How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your Word.  You have to keep his commands in front of you, so you walk in them.  Third, Move your feet.  Run like Joseph, and you’ll dance like David...  If your feet are in the right place, your hands never get dirty.  If you’re walking down the street near her house… you will fall.  If you keep company with the wicked, you’ll get caught up with them in what they do, and their destruction will come on you.  Commit with your mouth, Soak In His Word, and Move your feet.  Get on the path that He has for you, with those who want to learn the fear of the LORD.  Don’t get caught up in sin that desires to enslave you.  Walk in the freedom and the grace that He has for you!  Your blessing will increase, your hope will be sure, and your joy will be full! And the fruit of your life will bring testimony that you continually overcome with!
 
Love you all,
