LORD, THANK YOU FOR YOUR BLOOD.

MY SISTER URGED ME TO READ AN ARTICLE YESTERDAY ON THE YAHOO HOMEPAGE ABOUT A STATUTE OF JESUS BEING BURNED AFTER BEING STRUCK BY LIGHTENING. I KNOW THAT GOD URGES US NOT TO MAKE AN IMAGE OF ANYTHING IN THE HEAVEN, IN THE EARTH AND UNDER THE EARTH IN THE BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY, SO THAT DID NOT SWAY ME ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. WHAT DID ALARM ME THOUGH WAS THE VERY DISRESPECTFUL REPLIES OF OVER 11,000, YOUNG PEOPLE, TOWARDS CHRISTIANS, JESUS HIMSELF, GOD, AND THE CHURCH. WHAT WAS SAID IS NOT EVEN WORTH REPEATING. THIER WERE A FEW CHRISTIANS ON THERE TRYING TO DEFEND THE FAITH AND I THANK GOD FOR THEM. WHAT SADDENED ME WAS THE SPIRITUAL CONDITION OF THE MAJORITY OF THESE YOUNG PEOPLE. I ALSO ADDED A COMMENT THAT I FELT LED BY GOD TO LEAVE, HOPING TO STEER THEM TOWARDS REPENTANCE..LATER THAT DAY I REFLECTED ON THIS AND ALSO THOUGHT OF SOME OF MY OWN FAMILY MEMBERS WHO ARE JUST AS DISRESPECTFUL TOWARDS THE THINGS OF GOD, EVEN AFTER THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN BELIEVERS AT ONE POINT IN TIME , GOD IS SO GOOD, AND SO LOVING AND KIND AND THEY KNOW THIS, YET WON'T YIELD TO HIM. THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO BELIEVE THE LIES OF THE DEVIL RATHER THAN THE TRUTH OF GOD. I HAVE FAMILY MEMBERS DRAWN TO VAMPIRES FOR ENTERTAINMENT, AND A PROGRAM CALLED TRUE BLOOD. THAT IS SO DISTURBING THAT THE DEVIL WOULD CALL A PROGRAM BY THAT NAME SUGGESTING THAT A DESECRATION OF THE BLOOD, IS THE TRUE BLOOD.

AS I REFLECTED ON THESE THINGS THE ANSWER CAME TO ME. THE HOLY SPIRIT REMINDED ME OF JOHN 3: 18---21. MAN DOES NOT WANT GOD BECAUSE HIS DEEDS ARE EVIL. WHEN YOU ARE PRACTICING DELIBERATE SIN YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN COMING TO THE LIGHT, EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO TRUTH. THE ENEMY HAS FAITHFUL FOLLOWERS BECAUSE HE APPEALS TO THEIR LUSTS----THE LUST OF THE FLESH, THE LUST OF THE EYES AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE. HE ALSO APPEALS TO THEIR FEELINGS OF INSECURTIY AND INFERIORITY, AS STEVE FOSS SUGGEST IN HIS BOOK " SATAN'S DIRTY LITTLE SECRET"

I THANK GOD FOR THE MINISTRIES THAT HAVE SUCCESSFUL YOUTH GROUPS AND THERE ARE MANY. IF IT WERE NOT FOR THESE MINISTERS OF GOD, FAITHFUL BELIEVERS, AND ANOINTED YOUTH LEADERS THIS GENERATION WOULD LITERALLY BE LOST.

I POSTED A WONDERFUL VIDEO THAT SINGS ABOUT THE WONDERFUL BLOOD OF JESUS. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN AND SING THIS SONG TO JESUS, THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH. THANK YOU AND BE CONTINUALLY BLESSED..
