The Candle Of A Man’s Heart
A candle is for giving light when it is burning. Too much in the earth has lost it’s light. Our candlestick is slowing losing its light in the hearts of men and women everyday. Even when it comes to relinquishing sin for freedom and peace. We will not take delight in the freedom God has given us through the death of His Son. Something is wrong America. Time and time again God has warned us that He is not pleased. He is not pleased with the sinner and now the Christian that has compromised their stand in Him. Then he is not pleased with this wicked generation. We the Creation of God must submit to God in a proper manner. God has set forth his expectations of man in His Holy Word.
Man has decided that they will do whatsoever they want to do, whatever teases their ego or gain them the attention they want. I had the privilege this week to watch television for a few days. How shocked I was! The language used even in the cartoons was horrible. Whoever heard of a cussing cartoon? The soaps are horrible. The examples being set is this; no commitment to the husbands and wife in almost all of the soaps. They portray that adultery and fornication is a way of life. Then the most shocking thing I saw was two men kissing each other portraying that this kind of behavior is acceptable. The Jerry Springer show came on afterwards and it was horrible. The man came on the show to tell his girlfriend of one year that he was gay and only used her around his parents for a front. He told the man that he wasn’t ready to come out of the closet. The girlfriend was in shock and said she loved him. People we do have to love the sinner but we don’t have to accept their decision to be something that they are not. A man can never be a woman and a woman can never be a man. God forbid! We are coming up to the last days. Look around us see what we have allowed to be acceptable. These people dress to be a woman or a man that they never can be and they are hilarious in their looks. They overdue the makeup they wear, wear flip flops most of the time.
People we have lost all perspective of life. The battle that we was in, Jesus gave us freedom from; yet we still fight within ourselves about things that we know is wrong. We put up a front and give people the wrong impression that we are so right and they are so wrong. We draw our own conclusions outside of God’s will. We have gotten to the point that we will argue God’s Holy Word. The Word stands alone and is not meat to be argued. There is a way that seem right unto a man but the way therein is the way of death. Our thoughts are not God’s thoughts, neither our ways his ways. In other words we draw our own conclusions rather than listen to what God has said to us. We have to relevance to the importance of what God calls us to do therefore we miss God. If God says this is this and that is that and we can’t picture it in our imagination we formulate our own opinion. Our opinion is far off when it comes to discernment. Do we always have to be right or can we back down and say the next person is off in their thinking?
The man came on that show to tell the girl he was gay, but actually he was dealing with this perverted spirit that he wanted his parents to know, I cannot live up to your expectations or the church’s. But he should have been thinking about God. The other guy claimed he loved him but he also had another man that was willing to dress up like a woman. It is ridiculous how Satan get us to act a fool. We can’t be no more or less than God made us. God created male and female. And when we die we wont be classified no less. The world promotes sin and we accepts it. We are allowing Satan front and center of our young children’s minds. They sat in front of the television while we do our thing. The television has become the children’s bread, not to mention the computer. Children wants, wants, wants and we give, give, give. We parents are responsible for the children God puts us over to mentor and teach in the way of training them up in the Word. We rely on the world’s perspective rather what the Word says about what is going on. We are responsible for these little kids. Once they grow up it is on them, but we still have to give them the Word. However it is up to them to follow through on the Word and accept it as the gospel.
God is not pleased with all of the foolishness of the world or church. We have branched off into this musical world and we have begun to portray the world in the church now. God forbid. Its time for us to redeem the times, for the time we live in is wicked and without the church praying and standing up for what is right in the sight of God, we will bust hell wide open. It would be a shame to live godly and miss heaven because of what you wont deal with. Most times just the smallest little thing is small to us, but big to God.
People of God, our candle is burning out. We need the fire of the Holy Ghost to once again reclaim our lives so that we can do the work of an Evangelist. The fire is needed to burn up the sin in the heart of man. That place where only God should dwell. The candle is being blown out in the lives of Christians. Except the Lord build the house all of our labor is in vain. The Church has become a large underground, a vault for the burial of sin that is enclosed in the mind and heart of believers. We are the walking dead ready to erupt at any time. Instead of the church bringing forth souls to Christ they make the proclamation to the world that we are in a battle with Satan but Satan has the upper hand on us because he was in heaven cast down for his trickery and evil. It’s time to announce to the Devil that God is God and beside Him there is no God. It is time to tell the sinner the only place you have in the church is at the Altar where you can ask for deliverance. The Church of the world today is money hungry. The leaders causes the people to err and the people love it to be so. We are not to be proclaiming that Christ died for our sin and we continue to walk therein. It comes a time in every Christians life that a change must happen before God will complete the way.
We say that God is our Father but we don’t act like we are. Look at the outcome or offspring of what we have done spiritually. The Church is a living vital part of man. God created it an He is not going to bow down to man’s ideologies. Life rotates as the earth revolving around the sun, but God is not a revolving door. We must praise Him at all times and His praises will continually be in our mouths. Lord have mercy upon us as parents. We have not set the perfect example for our children, but most children are in homes where they don’t have a dinner table or round table discussion of the days plight. Parents we better wake up and smell the coffee. It stinks when it is burning. We have to give God our devotion time in which prayers are said and songs sung to the glory and honor of God and not just at church either. We are roughly eighty percent wrong in this World and the world has creep in the church unaware because we are asleep.
