""You are the light of the world. A City built on a hill cannot be hidden."
Our Mission is to Awaken people to the "Real Enemy", the enemy of our souls. Ephesians 6:12 tells us that "...we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places."
When bad things happen of course, we are quick to retaliate, quick to blame, quick to exercise vengeance, but, if we just stop for a moment and realize the real culprit, then we would realize that we need a higher power to fight powers bigger than ourselves.
However, This doesn't mean that we are totally unaccountable for our actions....OH No, In Fact, The Lord says in Joshua 24:15 "...If serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve...". You see, we choose regardless...We choose in how we respond in relationships with one another, in our language expression, and in our actions. We are always choosing the "Right way or Wrong way".
Jesus Tells us in John 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
Often times We live our whole lives not knowing or understanding how to travel our designated Pathways in pursuit of the ABUNDANT LIFE that we all long for and seek which God Has Promised.
Sometimes we find ourselves questioning if there's even such a thing as LIFE IN ABUNDANCE with the world that we live in Today or is it truly possible.
But, the truth is yes there is such a thing, and yes, it is possible.
After finding out that Satan's Mission is to destroy our lives, the next question we may have is "How will Jesus Give us our Lives Back when the enemy has come in and stolen our relationships with family and friends, even our minds?; How can I still have Full Joy when he's come in and plundered, killing and destroying everything that makes our world beautiful?
The Answer is very clear as Jesus tells us in John 14:6, "...I am the Way, The Truth, and The Life..."
You See, " In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind" (John 1:4)
He is our Map, our guide to Life because He is Life, He is our Only HOPE , and" We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf....."(Hebrews 6:19)
Therefore, "since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful." (Hebrews 10:19-
AMEN!
Jesus is Our Only HOPE and "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved." So Let's Begin the Journey of Awakening by Following Him.
Before we come to Christ, Ephesians 2:1 tells us that we are Dead in our Trespasses' and Sins; The Lord will send out his Invitation to Awaken us by knocking on the doors of our conscience, through pain and suffering, fiery Trials, storms, or warning calls by his people. He will call us through the circumstances....Pleading with us in the spirit saying " Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light."(Ephesians 5:14).
And, as we Heed the call to Awaken by crying out and asking the Lord to Save us, it is then that our Promised Journey begins.
