WALKING IN AGREEMENT

"Can two walk together except they be agreed?" Amos 3:3

Are we in agreement with God? How can we walk with Him unless we are in agreement with Him? Jesus is coming back like a "thief in the night" (1 Thess 5:2, 2 Peter 3:10) and we know not the day or the hour (Matthew 25:13; Matthew 24:36). We must be ready. We cannot think we are ready, we must know we are ready. Look at the 10 virgins in Matthew 25:1-13. 5 were wise and prepared and they knew it. 5 were foolish and not prepared, they waited too long. When the bridegroom came, he did not know them, they were locked out, they missed it. They missed it. Don't miss it. Be prepared now. Prepare your children and everyone you meet. The ancient words of God long written down in the book we call the Bible are for us today. READ IT.

How can Jesus be revealed to us unless we are daily, moment by moment, walking blameless, spotless (Ephesians 5:27), holy (Ephesians 1:4; 1 Peter 1:16), righteous (Psalm 23:3; Proverbs 15;9 ), repentant lives. Turning always from sin. Sober, diligent, serious about our obedience unto God, even to death. Servants of the most high God. Reading His word, praying and doing his will for us each moment. How can we experience that much sought after, spoken about, but not realized revival, without him? Revelation of Jesus and revival begin in our own hearts, in our own lives, before we can take it anywhere. How does the world see us? What do we offer them?

Please come out of the world and live for Jesus alone. The world and all its seduction and sin is passing away (Matthew 24:35) and Hell is a very real place for the compromised and unrepentant heart. But eternal life is waiting for the redeemed of the Lord, the ones who get it. Who are diligently seeking him daily, in each moment. In the word, in prayer and going to all the world with it. Who grasp the eternal nature of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit and the eternity bought for us by blood of Jesus. It is all about now folks, right now and what you are doing with it.
