Does Your Heart Belong to Jesus or The World?

I pulled this from the Lamplighter Magazine.

In three short months, just like He did with the plagues of Egypt,

God has taken away everything we worship.

 

·         You want to worship athletes; I will shut down stadiums and arenas.

·         You want to worship musicians; I will shut down every venue.

·         You want to worship actors; I will shut down theaters.

·         You want to worship money; I will shut down the economy and collapse the stock market.

·         You want to worship your own bodies; I’ll close down the gyms.

·         You want to worship your own intellect and pat yourself on the back with a graduation, I’ll close down your schools.

·         You want to place your trust in your friends and not in Me; I’ll make sure you can’t even meet with them physically.

·         You don’t want to seek My face and worship Me; I will make it where you can’t go to church.

 

“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).

 

Maybe we don’t need a vaccine. Maybe we just need to take this time of isolation from the distractions of the world and have a personal revival where we focus on the ONLY thing in the world that really matters - JESUS!

My Commentary:

It may sound like God is mean when he takes away his protection and blessings, but he told you in his word he is jealous for you.  If your child did not want to spend any time with you because he or she wanted to play video games all day or spend all their time with their friends it would hurt your feelings.  If your spouse worked long hours and then ignored you when he/she got home you would feel hurt.  God has feelings and he feels hurt when the one he loves ignores him.  Your child can grow up and never talk to you again.  Your spouse can leave you and they both have the free will to do that.  When they walk away from you they walk away from everything you have to offer them such as a loving home, comfort, someone to laugh with, someone to cry with, maybe they walk away from provision, protection, and many other things.  When you walk away from God you will also walk away from all of the things he provides.  You will be on your own.  This is God’s wake up call.  He is giving you a glimpse of what life will be like without his protection and his blessings. He wants you to make an informed decision.  

The moment you die you can’t change your mind.  You will be with God or without God for all eternity and he does not want to be separated from you.  This is why Jesus came to die a horrible painful death so you could be with him forever.  That is True Love!
