WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

The title of today’s episode: A PURE LIFE

I want to talk to you about Purity. Our lives are so full of contamination we do not know what it is like to have pure air, food, water or soil. We are overrun by chemical companies and people with not so pure agendas against us. Hopefully, that will change in the near future.

I want to talk to you about our spiritual purity. Our God is a God of purity. He doesn’t want us to allow our spiritual lives to become contaminated. Just as in the natural, our spiritual airwaves, our spiritual food and water and our soil. The enemy has bombarded our minds with music, movies and TV that is full of things that will contaminate our spirit.

So many churches have let down on the standards of purity that is in God’s word and they are feeding people only half truths and contaminated spiritual water. Any pastor that stands in the pulpit week after week and doesn’t warn his people about sin, is the problem. We need the old fashioned preachers that preach hell so hot that it makes us want to live right.

As charcoal is one way to neutralize many contaminates, God’s word will neutralize the things of this world. Charcoal is made from burnt wood. It has to go through the fire in order for charcoal to be formed. As we go through the fiery trials of life, the impurities get burned out of us. What is left behind can help someone else to figure out how to be pure in the sight of God.

I Peter 1:6-8 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

Gold, when it is mined out of the earth, contains impurities; the gold is heated until it is in liquid form. As the liquid is heated, the impurities burn up. Then the gold is ready to be used, it is shiny and pure.

When God’s Spirit comes into our lives, we should shine with the love of God. I never want to leave out how important the blood of Jesus is to the process of us cleaning up our lives. The blood of Jesus neutralizes the sin in our lives.

Hebrews 9:22 – And almost all things are by the Law purged with blood: and without shedding of blood is no remission.

As the body of Christ, we have faced some rough times lately, but we have stood as a whole and prayed for our country. We have stood against the enemy and all the evil in this world. God has honored our efforts and will continue to work things out as we go forward if we stand strong and keep up the good work. We are too close to the final harvest to allow the enemy to destroy the crops.

Gal 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

We cannot get battle-weary and give up. We are too close to everything being like we have prayed for so long. If we get weary now and give up, too many souls will be lost. Too many are depending on us to stand strong and hold the line. Keep standing strong against the enemy.

Matt 11:28-29 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

As most of you know, I normally use the King James Version. All the scriptures I use come from there unless I tell you differently. I really liked how the message version summarized these verses. I am going to share that with you.

Matt 28-30 “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” –THE MESSAGE

I love how it says that if you come away with me, you will recover your life. Because our lives should be so wrapped up in Jesus that we must be with him to find our lives. When it says I will not lay anything heavy or ill-fitting, I think about how a soldier’s armor is built to fit them like a glove. When we put on the whole armor of God, it fits us perfectly.

We truly have freedom in Jesus. If we can keep our focus on him, we will not become battle-weary. We will recover our pure life with no contamination from the world.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
