Steel yourself against the world's strong magnetism. The world has now taken to itself
powerful instruments to beguile each of us. Think of television,that lighted rectangle.  What
does it do? It lies and lies and lies to you. It would have you believe in fornication without tears,

Violence without death, death without judgment and indulgence without responsibility. Lies, all lies!
Against these lies, you must be strong. Perhaps it is time to put a sign on the TV set that says,

"This is the voice of Satan." The world's slick magazines should have a sticker on the cover saying,

"Baloney!" Ah, the dulcet voice of this world believe it not! This world don't fall in love with it!


1Jo 2:15  Do not love or cherish the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him.

Sure hope that this thread has spoken to your Spirit man to get you to rethink where you are at with the Lord Jesus Christ. We don't want to like the world or we will be judged with them at that appointed time. We are suppose to be acting like Jesus Christ did when He was on the earth, being set apart from the WORLD.

John 15:16  Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
John 15:17  These things I command you, that ye love one another.
John 15:18  If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
John 15:19  If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

So what have we done to our walk with Him if we where called by Him? Never made the separation from this world in which we live in, not to be a part of it at all but to be a wittiness in it fir Him.It sure seems today that the world has gotten a mighty hold on Christians of today in this Country that we live in.
So why don't we live for Him now like He has told us to do?
By getting out of our self Centered life style.If today this world in which we live in is getting worse so then why do we want to hang on to it and hold to their hearts, that is insane.If today the Beast or the Antichrist had taken power would Christians take the Mark of the Beast? Only the  people that are walking with GOD:

(Psalms 91:1  He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.Psalms 91:2  I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.)

So God is trying to get His people to walk with Him by obeying what His Son has told us to do in our daily life's. That is not hard at all if you are out of your self centered life style.

The church needs to let go of the world so that God can come back to the church again. The people that are attending only come to give God only one hour of there time so that GOD can bless them. That is not the way our Father operated. First we have to die to our self centered ways of living.

Matthew 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Matthew 16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Does the people want to pa y the price that God is asking them to do, if Jesus did it so can we do the same. Man doesn't want to separate Himself from the world.

James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

We as Christians still have our man made programs, church building programs, etc. That is not separating ourself from the world, just being chained and bound to it. Jesus Christ is commanding us here in the scriptures to not be apart of this world, if we have not done the separation form the world we are still a friend of the world.
God can't be our friend if we still have the self centered life style.
The people that makes the church has to get God back into their life's again and set the world out.
To do that we have to give ourselves to prayer again not just coming to God an ask Him to bless our self centered ideas and stuff. He is not a gimme God, just give me everything I want. It is not about you it is all about Him.
God is the GOD of ALL.

The above picture is found in:Luke 2:15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
There where NO wise men here in this scripture.

Matthew 2:7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
Matthew 2:8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
Matthew 2:9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
Matthew 2:10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
Matthew 2:11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

As you can tell this time of the year is only about what you can buy to make the receiver of the gifts to be happy. No the real gift that was brought down from heaven which was a small baby that is a King.

As you can read from the scriptures from above in verse Matthew 2:9 that the wise men followed the star until it was over the child. How many people of today seek to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit to Christ.
When they found the star over the child they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
 How many of the so called Christians do that today for Christ when they find Him in there secret place each morning if they have this time with Him.
When the wise men came into the house they saw the young child an fell down and worshiped Him, bring gifts with them to give to the King.
Do we do that today when we come into His presence? I don't think so, why not are we to good to do that?
Really to be honest with you all Christians of today only what to serve Him when they feel like it or just on Sunday mornings an the live the other 6 days like they want to.
He is not pleased by this action of His so called people. The road with Him is straight an a narrow way, only the ones who what to pay the price, we need to count the cost that we are expected to do when we serve the Lord Jesus Christ.
We need to be seeking Christ all of the time an looking everywhere to find Him this time of the year. Really Jesus Christ was not born at this time of the year, only the world wanted to have it at this time of the year to MAKE MONEY which is Commercialism.

4. Unpleasing; unacceptable. Harsh sounds are ungrateful to the ear.

 The nation in which we live is VERY Ungrateful for what they have. The people that are living in this nation only think about themselves and not others.
  We have the tendencies to focus on ME, all about us and what we can get for ourselves. The technology of today’s age is all about convince to us. We live in a very Materialism world. The time that we spend watching the T.V. it puts thoughts into our minds that feed the flesh. Then ourself centered nature the fallen man try’s to take over telling us that we need to own this thing that will give us the happiness that we are missing.
  We are to take captive all the thoughts that come into our mind. 2Co 10:5  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;   
  So as you can read here in thescriptures that we are to guard our hearts by taking captive the thoughts that don’t line up with the word of GOD.
  We as a nation especially this time of the season which is Christmas. We are just going about trying to find the RIGHT gift to give to someone so that we can feel good about ourselves. We are missing the whole concept about giving; we are supposed to be doing that all year long. But the thing that should be first in all is putting Christ first. Do we even put GOD first in the things that we do all of the rest ofthe year? We as a nation has missed this, we need to be getting back to putting God the very first thing on our list of things to do.
  So in all we should be grateful and thankful to GOD for what we have as a nation, personal. Here is also what we should be doing:

1Th 5:16  Rejoice evermore.

1Th 5:17 Pray without ceasing.

1Th 5:18 In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

1Th 5:19 Quench not the Spirit.
      So everyone please keep the LORD GOD first in you all lives 7days a week not just 1day a week like most so called Christians do. Be Grateful and Thankful for what God has given.

"And has put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head
over all things to the church" (Ephesians 1:22).
When we SEE an ever-increasing Christ Who is destined to fill all
things then we will be delivered from smallness and
narrow-mindedness. We do not overcome a thing by focusing our
attention and directing our energies against that THING. "Things"
will keep us busy from morning until night, and from night until
morning. May GOD deliver us from "things" and show us His Son! We
must learn to keep the focus of our heart on the Lord Jesus Christ,
Who MUST increase. Then there is no room for "things" anymore.
They are simply swallowed up in Victory.

1Th 5:16 Rejoice evermore.
1Th 5:17 Pray without ceasing.
1Th 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
So we as Disciples in Christ we are to be praising God in the midst of our trails that we are going through, not murmuring. As it says in the scriptures we are to give thanks to be in the will of God. He is with us in the middle of our trails, so keep praising God, pray with out ceasing, give thanks all of the time 7days a week.

Looking around outwardly at the Church, the world, and the creation,
we do not see the preeminence of Christ. We hardly see it when we
examine our own lives. Is Jesus really Lord? Is God truly sovereign?
Indeed. He is working "all things after the counsel of His own Will"
(Ephesians 1:11b). Obviously this is a progressive thing. He does not
suddenly take over the universe, no more than He suddenly takes over
each disciple. Children of God are not born fully grown, and Jesus is
not building His Church in one day. Instead, He works slowly, almost
imperceptibly, increasing and enlarging, gently leading, gradually
revealing Himself in a thousand small ways.

Here is a message I thought that would bless you like it has blessed me. It is very anointed an inspired by the Holy Spirit. Brokenness is all about being Broken before Jesus, being HUMBLE before Him. Hope that you listen to this message. It will start to make you rethink where you are in being broken before Him.

What is a believer in Christ? The devils believe that thee is a Christ. It is someone that wants to do there own thing an still have God bless there request to Him. That is the spirit of Judas. It was all about him not Jesus. He had his own agenda, serving his flesh. That is what we have as believers in the church of today that this message is being preached all across this nation. This message is nothing but a doctrine of devils that is being bought by the people because they only want God to bless there hidden agenda. It seams that church of today is coming to do nothing but cosign the persons self FLESHLY ways.
That is not what Jesus preached. He called out disciples to follow Him. They put down everything that they where doing an followed Him. They didn't complain or cry. Here is the meaning of the word Disciple: Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary

disciple
One entry found for disciple.
Main Entry: dis·ci·ple
Pronunciation: di-'sI-p&l
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English discipul & Anglo-French disciple, from Late Latin and Latin; Late Latin discipulus follower of Jesus Christ in his lifetime, from Latin, pupil
1 : one who accepts and assists in spreading the doctrines of another: as a : one of the twelve in the inner circle of Christ's followers according to the Gospel accounts b : a convinced adherent of a school or individual

Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
Luke 14:27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Luke 14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

So we see here in the scriptures that we need to be disciples of Christ not believers. To be a good disciple of Christ we have to be obedient to what ever He tells us to d. it will be what He wants us to do not want we want to do. It is excepting His as our Lord not just Saviour.
The narrow path that He takes us on is the very best for us. Our flesh doesn't like it at all but we have to submit to Him if we are His true disclpes. We need to be reproducing disciple not believers.
(AMP) Matthew 28:19 Go then and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days (perpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion), to the [very] close and consummation of the age. Amen (so let it be).
So the true word needs to be going out not this FALSE GOSPEL.

   It seems that Christians of today that are attending church don't know who they are in Christ. That means that they are powerless in Him. Christ when He died for us on the cross redeemed us from sin, and when He ascended to heaven we are with Him seatedg with Him on His right side. (KJV) Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
Ephesians 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
So that is saying that we are seated with Him Spiritually. That is why we need to know who we are in Him so that we can reign with Him.The battle with the devil is over, we just have to take our place in Him because He has already defeated him on the cross. He has given us very thing that we need to live a victorious life here on this earth. We just have to know who we are in CHRIST.
(CEV) 2Peter 1:3 We have everything we need to live a life that pleases God. It was all given to us by God's own power, when we learned that he had invited us to share in his wonderful goodness.
2Peter 1:4 God made great and marvelous promises, so that his nature would become part of us. Then we could escape our evil desires and the corrupt influences of this world.
We do that by getting in His word an letting the Holy Spirit teach us all things.
