Are You Really a Christian?

If so ... Are you aware that the fiercest war in the history of the Cosmos is at fever pitch right now? It is more real than a physical war. It's the real thing, spiritual. And the outcome is eternal.

 

THIS IS YOUR ASSIGNMENT …. Should you choose to accept it.

You live in the most extraordinary time in all of history. 

You have been called to put yourself completely under God’s authority because He has placed you in this place at this time for a specific purpose for which He created you. 

You cannot fulfill that purpose unless you make it the single most important driving force in your life. You have very little time, especially if you are not really ready and up to the task.

What is the task? 

Your task is to know the Bible so well that the right verses immediately come to mind when you need them to do your job. Your job is to bring as many people into the Kingdom as possible because this is the last hour. Uppermost in your mind during every waking hour should be witnessing, offering HOPE to the otherwise eternally lost and dying. Your job is also to affirm and build up your fellow Christians so that they, too, comprehend why they are here, and to what purpose.

In order to accomplish the above, it will be imperative that you access the POWER and AUTHORITY which you have in Jesus Christ. You will be required to REBUKE the dark side and the evil and sin which has overtaken this world.

What is your prayer life like?

You must set aside a time EVERY SINGLE MORNING - at least an hour - to spend with the Lord. If you are not willing to devote 1/24th of your day to your Creator and Savior, you are not fit for the task.  You need to PRAY, to seriously pray for God's Will (not your wlll) in everything you do. And you must not only talk to Him. You need to LISTEN to what He has to tell you, because you will read His Word during that hour, and He will speak to you through His Word.

As a result of at least an hour with the Lord each morning you will be placing accessible Biblical truth IN you ... and OPERATIVE throughout your day. This will give you DISCERNMENT ... POWER ... AUTHORITY.

You will do this every single day - with purpose, with commitment, with obedience and devotion, with love and with determination. Nothing can be more important. You must take it SERIOUSLY. Refuse to allow anything to interfere with this priority. 

No more excuses. The stakes are too high. 

God has chosen you of all the people in history ... for his specific purpose in this last day.

Jesus came to earth deliberately in order to die for your sins. Now he is resurrected, sitting at the right hand of the Father at this moment, preparing to act upon his legal right to execute judgment on the fallen angels (some of whom are here right now), and on the wickedness of this planet, to close the times of the Gentiles, and then to exercise Israel's tribulation (the 'time of Jacob's trouble') in order to bring those of the Jewish remnant to their knees, so that they can finally recognize their Messiah, and then to set up his kingdom - the House of David - in Jerusalem and rule on earth. This is his eternal plan. 

Are you a real Christian? Ask the Holy Spirit to help and guide you. HE WILL.

Can you do this for Jesus? 

All of heaven is waiting in the wings ...  watching to see what you will do.

Eternity is Now

People seem to have the idea that eternity starts when they die.

Actually, though, we need to realize that eternity began when we were conceived in the mind of God or in our mother's womb.

Here are three dictionary definitions of "eternity:"

1. infinite time; duration without beginning or end.
2. eternal existence, esp. as contrasted with mortal life: the eternity of God.
3. Theology. the timeless state into which the soul passes at a person's death.

If we understood that we are now in eternity I think it would help us to understand a thrilling fact. That is, there's no reason to wait until we die to reap the benefits of our faith.

Charles Stanley tells a story of an elderly couple who could barely eke out a living. They lived in a dilapidated old house and couldn't afford to keep the heat on all the time. Shortly after they both died, a huge deposit of oil was discovered on the old property. All their years of poverty were lived out sitting on top of untapped wealth.

Unfortunately, many Christians go through life just like that elderly couple, thinking that some day when they die they will have an abundant life in eternity. No! They have the abundant life available to them right now - they just aren't living it.

I don't mean to suggest that life won't be infinitely better in the heavenly phase of our lives, but this earthly life could be infinitely better for most Christians right now. They are not tapping into the incredible power to which they have access.

It's a shame, too, because the next phase of life will be even better if we take advantage of this life's available riches of God's grace. This is an extremely important point for a Christian to understand.

Listen. Our rewards and our positions of responsibility in the next realm are in direct proportion to our investments of time, energy and obedience to the Lord in the fleshly life.

A Christian who is exactly the same today as he was 20 years ago in his spiritual walk is in trouble. We should see consistent growth - spiritual maturity - as we progress through this life. Otherwise, we will pay the price now ... and then.

Think about it.
