You can't serve the word and the world

“But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves” James 1:22 One of the hardest things about the walk with God is when you realize what you use to do, can’t be done if you want to be truly faithful to the lord. Now, I know many of you already would like a break down on what I just said. The moment that you decided to walk with God, you know longer walk according to your will, and you are now a servant of God. As a servant of Christ you have died to your old self, and you are now living a new life with Christ and in this life we are given commandments to follow. Many of us have a hard time having a balance of adjusting the old life to the new, and the fact of the matter is the old is gone. The moment you answered the call, it came with a price and in that price; you now decided that you can’t live two lives, one in the body of Christ and other in the body of the world. As children of God, the things that we once held on to that lead us down the wrong path was taken away once you chose to follow God. The walk with God is the greatest gift that we have, when we walk accordingly to the laws of Christ we see a change in all we do. Life is not about just getting by; it’s now centered on a purpose. You are now being given a life to serve, when we listen to the word it’s our key to arriving at our eternal destination. The reason why we come to God is based on the fact we realize that we are tired of doing things on our own. The lord is always there guiding us to the proper way of living with him, it’s our own free will if we choose to trust our own way. This is a season of change, more than ever we are being hungry for change, and that change is not coming from the materialism of the world, it’s coming from a place of spiritual belonging. “WE NEED GOD” God wants to take care of his children for he gave his son as a sacrifice so we can have eternal life. In this world we live in satan controls it, from fear, to jealousy, to greed, sexual immorality. The word gives us the nine fruits of the spirit: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. — Galatians 5:22-23 These are the fruits that are needed to be able to live the life of Christ and to live it in such a way that you will be able to see the direction of your life without the confusion of what the world dictates to you. You are a chosen somebody, you have been called to live a life that is free from the pain of the world, the lord did not say it would be easy, however he stated that “I will comfort you” Isaiah 4 1:10 It’s time to continue to set out on this journey with God, allow him to truly lead, do not let the world expose you to false truths, but stay in the word of God and continue to ask the lord to show you the way, even when you feel there is no way. This is a time in which we will start to see more revelations being shown to us, and this should not scare you, it should bring you even more closer to our Father. The lord is good and he has great plans for you, and there is nothing too big for God, for he is the alpha and the omega and he wants you to continue to follow him and give your life away, and see how he will use you toward Kingdom Greatness. Remember with God you come as you are to him, lay down your life, pray in the spirit and trust his word and in that obedience you will see your life completely change and the Faith that you have will bring you into good works that will not only change your life but those to whom the lord has placed before you. “Child this is your time” Remember that I love you and so does God!
