As we all know, KNOWLEDGE is key! Key to KNOWING THE TRUTH
whether it be spiritual or natural. Key to Godly or worldly WISDOM,
spiritual and physical HEALTH, MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING
and spiritual and material WEALTH.
God’s Word says,
whether it be spiritual or natural. Key to Godly or worldly WISDOM,
spiritual and physical HEALTH, MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING
and spiritual and material WEALTH.
God’s Word says,
John 8:32 "And ye shall know the truth,(bible truth) and the truth shall make you free."
FREE FROM WHAT? Most importantly, from being dead spiritually, because you haven't any spiritual TRUTH in you. Jesus said, John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth, and the life!"To be alive naturally and dead spiritually IS NO LIFE AT ALL! Spiritually speaking, it's no more intelligent than living under a bridge in Alaska, (in the winter no doubt), or dropping out of school in the third grade and expecting to go far, the farmer not planting his seeds but expecting a cash crop, burying your head in the sand in hopes that things will be all better when you come back up, drowning your earthly cares in a bottle of booze, checking out with your drug of choice, retreating to the furthest mountain top, living with the wolves, or escaping to a remote, secluded island to get away from everyone and everything.
The problem will forever be, YOU. You are running from God! YOU are running from your godly responsibilities. YOU were created by God for God, with this innate desire to find your MAKER and to serve Him! We ALL were! If you are not yet looking for and to Him, YOU are living your life ON THE RUN from the SPIRITUAL LIFE found only in Christ! (The ONLY life that matters, trust me, one day we will ALL understand this, sadly though, Luke 13:24 "Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able." You must come ALIVE spiritually (not just religiously go to church, but a personal relationship with God) to make Heaven your home and your stay here WORTHWHILE! Life(natural) is not worth living if you are dead(spiritually) while you liveth. Whether you can wrap your mind around this or not, or choose to reject it is YOUR decision. Hebrews 3:15 "While it is said, To day if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. God's Word is REAL and it is TRUE. Whether you choose to believe it or not, live it or not makes it no less REAL! And if you do not KNOW and walk in the light of it you are LOST. You are blind,(spiritually) you are deaf(spiritually) and dumb(spiritually). These are not harsh words, but sad spiritual truths! To live a LIFE void of the spirit, that's what is truly HARSH, it's not theTRUE WORDS that are spoken! All these things mentioned are ways of escape! They are prolonging your misery, keeping you in bondage. Escaping from the real world because you're weary, worn and sad! You need to STOP RUNNING away from God and His Word, His Will, and His way! "It's not God's will that any man perish, but that ALL would come to repentance!" Godly truth is to be ALIVE spiritually. Without it is to be DEAD! Rom 6:13 "Neither yield ye your members [as] instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members [as] instruments of righteousness unto God." Those that are ALIVE unto God are they that have opened their heart to God and have come into the knowledge of the truth (the Word of God). 1Ti 2:4 "Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." 2Th 1:7 "And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 2Th 1:8 "In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ." These words written here are Spiritual truths. They are found word for word in the bible. First things first. Let's get you in on all this! Ask Jesus to come into your heart right now. It's where spiritual life begins.

Heavenly Father, I come to you right now.
I believe that Jesus is the Son of God
I believe that Jesus is the Son of God
and that He died for me and rose again.
He is alive today. Please come into my heart
and forgive me of all my sins.
He is alive today. Please come into my heart
and forgive me of all my sins.
I want you to be the Lord of my life
and the Savior of my soul.
and the Savior of my soul.
Teach me your ways and help me
to live a godly life. I cannot do it on my own.
to live a godly life. I cannot do it on my own.
God, thank you for hearing my prayer
and saving me today!
and saving me today!
Amen
Now then, WE CAN TALK! Because if you said that prayer and meant it, the Bible says you’ve been given eyes (Spiritual) to see, and ears(spiritual) to hear, and a heart to receive God’s Son into your life. Your name has been written in the” LAMB’S BOOK of LIFE!”
Rev.20:12-And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God;(judgement day-it’s real) and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the
Book of Life(it exists): and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither [whatsoever] worketh abomination, or [maketh] a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.”
It’s ALL about your heart my friend. Whether you meant it or not is whether it took or not! If it took, there will be many more wonderful words of ETERNAL LIFE for you to feast upon and to share with others in the upcoming days and weeks ahead! I’m so looking forward to giving to you Christ’s engrafted Word that is not only able to save your souls but change your life FOREVER!
Have a great day! :)
