Where Are You Spending Your Time
1 Timothy 4:1-2 “Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons. These people are hypocrites and liars, and their consciences are dead."
Wow! I don't want a 'dead conscience', nor be labeled a liar or hypocrite. Yet, time and time again, the Bible warns us of following false doctrine, following deceptive spirits, following the devil and his army. Why is that? Well, because God gave us "free choice / free will" to have our own thoughts and ideas. When we separate ourselves from God, or even separate ourselves from other believers, we open ourselves up to the cunning, deceptive ways of the enemy. The devils army has a job: to make us busy, distracted, selfish, offended, hurt, jealous, tired, withdrawn, seclusive, on and on.... remember, Satan is roaming the earth, seeking us! He wants to kill, devour and destroy - not only us physically, but spiritually! He and his army have a goal: separate us from God. What better way to achieve that, then to 'kill our conscience'?!
So, how do we get back on track? How do we start following 'truth' instead of 'lies'? Easy!! Pray to God, asking that Jesus reveal TRUTH to you thru the Holy Spirit. Ask Him to open your heart, mind, and eyes to any lie you've been following / doing. Pray, in the powerful name of Jesus, that you want to be clean and join together with Jesus in following God and His truth. Confess anything that pops up in your mind, ask for forgiveness, admit any selfishness or even ignorance that caused these things. Then, ask the Holy Spirit to come fill you, guide you, and cleanse you from all the mess / sin you've been doing. He WILL!! Then, pick up the personal Love Journal (your bible) from God and read it!! Ask Him where to start. It might be in the book of John, or in Psalms, or gaining wisdom thru the Proverbs. It could be Ruth or Esther.... just pick up your bible and read. You need to actually spend time IN the bible reading it, to HAVE time with Jesus. He WILL talk to you,! You just need to open your ears and heart to listen. You will be blessed!! Have a GREAT and AWESOME day as you rekindle your love and faith with your renewed relationship with Jesus!
