WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

The title of today’s episode: TIME TO LEVEL UP

Almost everything in life comes in levels. I want to encourage you to go to the next level in your faith walk. The more I learn about God, the more I realize what little I know, but I enjoy sharing what I do know with you.

When we are children we go to school and at the end of each year we are raised to the next level. But we have to learn the lessons of the current season, or we will be held behind until we do learn those lessons. Because we will not be able to handle the next lessons if we do not know what we were supposed to learn in the previous season.

Our Christian walk is like that, once we are saved we are the equivalent of pre-school kids in our knowledge of God. As we go through our life we are allowed to go through hard seasons. It is in the testing that we see if we can apply what we have learned. God will move us up a level of responsibility.

As soldiers in God’s army we all have ranks and with each rank there is a responsibly. We are all called to witness, pray, study the word and to love God and love others.

Do not be discouraged if you fail a test. God will let you take it again until you lean what he is trying to teach you. We have all fallen short of our duties. I want to share a few reminders of things to help you to level up.

2 Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Jesus is the word, we need to fall in love with the scriptures. The more I dig into the word the more excited I am to keep digging. God is starting to bring it into focus for me. I have learned a lot in the last couple of years. The more I learn the more I realize I have a lot to learn. But I am excited about the journey. If we put in the time, God will shine his light on our efforts and give us understanding.

I Cor 3:2-3 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. 3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

We have to stop being so sensitive to every little thing. We have to be mature and walk in unity. We will never come to the fullness of God unless we have unity.

Heb 5: 12-14 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

It is high time that the body of Christ mature in our faith walk to the point that we are in unison. We will only grow if we get some strength from the meat of the word, washed down with the anointing of God’s living water.

A few years ago, we had the luxury of time to let people meander through their walk, growing up in their faith slowly. Some slower than molasses pour out. But today, with all the darkness in the world we have to be ready to stand against, we do not have the luxury of time. We all need to get on an accelerated plan to grow strong quickly.  The harvest is coming, if we haven’t built up ourselves to handle it, we may be overwhelmed by it.

Jude 14-21 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, 15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. 16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.

Does that sound like any of the people that call themselves Christian’s today. It is easy to get caught up with murmurers and complainers. I have been guilty of doing this, but God is not pleased when we complain. Many people that call themselves pastor or preacher I would not walk across the road to hear, because they have a me centered, watered down, as long as you do the best you can do message. Their great swelling words are sending people to hell because they never have a true conversion in their hearts. They are Christians in name only.

Jude 17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. 19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.

In other words, let us have a feel good message that eases my conscience and helps me to believe the delusion that I am on my way to heaven. The rest of the week I will live in all sorts of ungodly perversion.

20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, 21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

We are not called to be built up by feel good messages by false preachers. We are called to get on our faces before God and allow him to lead us. We are to build up our faith, praying in the Holy Ghost. If we do that, we will have no trouble keeping ourselves in the love of God. It makes it a whole lot easier to keep ourselves from sin.

People look at the word of God and say, I cannot do all that stuff, I cannot stay away from sin. But I am here to tell you it is possible if you read your Bible, apply it to your life, pray for wisdom and guidance and learn to walk in love. If we can do these things we will keep growing to new levels in Christ Jesus.

Take some time and think about what you can do to reach the next level.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
