RAVEN DEB: TEACH THE NARROW WAY

"A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh." Luke 6:44

As i look at some Facebook sites i get to thinking, there is good and evil here and it reflects what is in the world and in a mans heart. Facebook is a social network, a statement we make of who we are and how we are living this life GOD gave us. It shows how we portray ourselves to the world, a lost world who needs JESUS.. If we say we love JESUS, say we are "Christians" but we put "likes" and posts on our profile that do not glorify and honor God, then i think we are really liars and might as well choose a "Like" that says "SIN" or "DEATH" or "LOST" What we like or think or say reflects the gods in our hearts. Is our heart full of the one true GOD of heaven and earth, of all creation, or some false god or idol we are worshiping. Our GOD sees it all..we cannot hide any of it. if we think we need to put sinful, unloving, unedifying words or things on our profile to be "cool" or fit in, then we are compromising and giving in to the world, giving in to Satan and his works, and that will put in jeopardy our place in heaven. Check your heart because that is not cool in the eyes of God and his eyes are the only ones that matter. So let us weed out our own hearts and sites of any sin and make a stand for God.

"See then that ye walk circumspectly not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time because the days are evil." Ephesians 5:15-16

i really love the youth i hold dear in my heart, those i know and don't know. i pray every day that you each have the strength to get through school as men and women of God.. that you stand for holiness and righteousness, goodness and truth and please God in all you say and do. DO NOT BE CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD AND ITS WAYS. ("And be not conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."Romans 12:2) i pray you do not give in to the world of the flesh, of selfishness and sin and evil desires. It is where Satan reigns, do not be fooled, not for even one second.. i do not get to speak into your lives every day or even every Sunday as i once did, so you need to read your the WORD of GOD yourselves and pray on your own or with your parents, every day. THINK on the things of GOD, what he teaches you in His Word and in prayer. If you do not have parents who are Christian or not helping you learn your way in the LORD, open your Bibles, start with the Gospel of John, ask the Holy Spirit of God to teach and lead you, be strong in the LORD.. if you have questions call me 707.753.1741.

"Prove all things, hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil." 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22

To the parents i can only say this. While these precious children are in your care, you must do your best to teach them the ways of our God, to read the Word and pray with them. To instill in their precious hearts how much God loves them and has a place for them in heaven if they follow JESUS. Teach them to discern good and evil because the battle is raging all around them and getting more intense each day. Right now, this day, they have had to make many decisions at school and after school on what to say and what to do. Are they making Godly choices? Do you know for sure that they are prepared for the fiery darts of the enemy? Have you taught them in the ways of the LORD? Do not neglect this most important place GOD has given you in their lives. Open your Bibles, start in John, ask the Holy Spirit of God to lead and teach you. For you and your children.

"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

"Enter ye in at the strait gate for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction and many there be which go in thereat, Because strait is the gate and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." MATTHEW 7:13-14

TEACH AND PREACH JESUS, TEACH THE NARROW WAY FOR LIFE ETERNAL.
