9/23/13 Get straight with God



Let's get one thing straight, you need to get straight with the Lord, by straightly, Getting with the Lord, before you get TO the Lord. The time and place to get it straight with God, is here and now! The moment of death or thereafter, is not the time to rectify oneself with the Almighty, now is the time! 

Getting straight with God consists of two things, repentance and renunciation.

Repentance: Confessing ones involvement with any and all Sins
Renunciation: Declaring what is correct over what is false.

*Mainting ths rightful relationship with the Lord, simply means, submitting to constant God/self evaluation, seeking Gods wisdom, direction and guidance while pursuing His suggestions, inclinations and prescribed way of life.

Walking and living in that truth, assures us, whatever may occur, our place is reserved. How can ANY OTHER thing in ones life , be aligned with Health, Propserity & Success, unless?

Those who are straight with God, are never complete, finished,or left undone. The believer is an ever evolving, growing, changing, (cut down, regrown, pruned but firmly rooted) student of His word. The number of days are known by the Almighty and no other! The guarantee is that He is faithful to complete us! Phillipians 4:16

Its like that old axiom, you cant get a job without the experence. But you cant get experience without getting the job! It's probably the single most important thing you can do for yourself as well as for another. Its the one time in a persons life, when directions can lead to, "eternally lost" or "eternally found"!

You're job is Get on that straight path and Stay on it, even if you have to walk it alone, its the only one that leads home!
