Hello my friends: 

The title of this episode is: WHY FOCUS ON GOD?

This morning, as I sat pondering the goodness of God.  I was thinking about the name of my blog and my videos.  God is a general term, but make no mistake, when I say God, I mean the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the only true and living God. With a capital G., all of the gods of this world are not even worth mentioning unless it is to point out in a story how they were defeated by our God. When writing, we use a Capital letter because our God is the superior and only real God.  All the others are little g’s. Because they cannot hold a candle to Jesus.

There is a doctrine that has deceived many, and I am sure this episode will not make some of them happy, but I have to speak the truth of God’s word. All roads do not lead to heaven.  It is the biggest lie ever told by satan.

This is a universal idea created by people who do not want us to know our identity in Christ.  They do not want us to understand that we have power over the enemy.  They want us to be weak-minded, so we will blindly follow and not question anything. My God gave us a sound mind and the power to reason.  He also will help us discern and understand things that are happening around us.

None of the little g’s, the gods of this world, died for me.  They didn’t deliver me from my sins and from the pit of depression.  That was Jesus, to him I owe all praise and glory.

John 14:5-7  Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?  6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

Back up to verse 6, Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

 Jesus came and died on the cross so that we could have a right to be born again.  So that we could become children of God. None of the little gods of this world ever died for us. Even if they were a person at one point, they just died, and they will be judged along with everyone else. Many of the little gods of this world and their followers shed blood for them in sacrifice rituals.  Jesus is the only one who shed blood for us. His blood was pure and it will redeem us from all sin.

I had a hard time finding a name for my blog and my channel that wasn’t already taken, I started to think about what I wanted to accomplish with the ministry that I had been given.  I realized I wanted to encourage people to keep their focus and not be distracted by the things of the world. To keep their God Focus.  If we can focus on him, everything will work out.

Col 3:1-2 3 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

The word affection means to be fond of or liking. The act or process of affecting.  Affecting means touching the emotions and moving.  In other words, this verse is telling us that we need to worship God, talk to Him, and build a relationship with him. In doing so we will move God’s heart.

I Pet 5:6-7 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:  7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

This verse is often used to cheer people up when they are struggling.  Saying we can give him our burdens and worries because he cares for us.  Although that is true, it could also mean we need to cast our affections on him. We humble ourselves and show him how much we care for Him by showing him trust and worship.

We are in scary times if we look at things around us. That is why I always end with Be bold and be brave. God is needing warriors to arise and be brave, boldly declaring the truth of the Bible. If we are bold and brave, we will not walk in fear no matter how bad things look around us.

If we keep our focus on Jesus, we will walk by faith and not by how bad things look around us. I want to encourage you today to stand strong in your faith. Knowing that Jesus is the only way.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
