Open your eyes
Take a closer look. The devil is attacking the church. Is this new? No. However, it is getting worse every day. Satan knows where his final destination is, and he wants to take you with him.
Our churches are being divided. Things that have no business being in the church are slowly creeping in. Gossiping and backstabbing are tricks of the enemy. Keep yourself out of these activities. We need to help and uplift each other. There is a job to be done, we do not have time to tear each other down. If you find fault with your brother or sister, pray that God will help you overcome this feeling. Keep your focus on the task at hand. Find a hungry soul. Lead them to Jesus. That soul that you felt a tug to talk to, but shrugged it off. Think about when you pass them by at judgment day and see that they were never told how to truly be saved. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Pray for Holy Ghost boldness.
To those of you who are struggling with the idea of backsliding. Please, be aware that there is nothing in the world that will make you happier. It’ll only leave you empty. Please, if you’re struggling, find someone to talk to. Feel free to message me if you need to. No matter what tricks the devil plays on you, make sure you know, it is indeed the devil messing with your mind. He wants you out of the church. This means that God has a purpose for you. Stay strong and hold on. God wants to use and bless you. The harder satan fights you, the greater God’s purpose is for your life. Remember that.
Be aware of peer pressure. Your friends at school are not always going to understand why you live the way you do. Don’t let this get you down. Work with them. Tell them little by little why you do what you do. If they still don’t understand, invite them to youth functions. Get them involved. Let them see how great this life is. You aren’t missing out on fun things in the world. They are the ones truly missing out. Is an hour of fun here on earth worth an eternity in hell? I’ve seen so many youth who have recently left the church. Are they happier? No. Their lives have turned completely upside down. They’re hooked on drugs, tied up in adultery and fornication, and searching high and low to find true happiness.
If you’re a lost soul trying to find your way back home. Do it. Don’t let your fear of what people might think of you turn you around. If they’re true Christians, they're going to welcome you back home with open arms and lots of love. Let God back into your life. He wants to use you to accomplish great things.
Sorry for the unorganized rambling. I’ve been feeling this really strong lately and needed to get it out there. Someone may need it. I hope I can help.
