Hallelujah to the lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world. All Glory, Honor and Praise be to Jesus Christ!
I am reminded of 1st Thessalonians 5 and 16 through 22, Paul writing here says rejoice evermore 17; pray without ceasing 18; in everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you! 19; Quench not the spirit 20; despise not prophesyings 21; prove all things Hold fast to that which is good 22; abstain from all appearance of evil!
Gentleman today, why is this so important? Well, you know as well as I do the world that we live in is evil , man wants to build more rehabilitation centers, hire more psychiatrist, and give ungodly philosophy to heal man's evil way of thinking. They even say now if he's in the perfect environment. He will be OK, but might I remind you, Adam and Eve were in the perfect environment.
That's where sin was brought forth! If we as Christian's rejoice more the world's going to know there is something different about us even in hard times! If we're praying without ceasing in good times and bad times, the world is going to see and wonder how we get through the cares of this world. Despise not prophesyings! James describes it like this: “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good and doth it not , to him it is sin!” Prove all things, hold so fast to that which is good pretty well explains itself abstain from all appearance of evil.
God says come out from among them and be ye separate touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you. Verse 23 is the most important part; And the very God of peace sanctify you Holy and I pray God, your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Let's stand as never before men of The Most High God!
In the name of Jesus, have a great day.
