King James Version
14 Whereas ye know not
what shall be on the morrow.
For what is your life?
It is even a vapour,
that appeareth for a little time,
and then vanisheth away.
What are your thoughts on life?
What are your thoughts on death?
Who do you think, has power over all that?
Being born again really teaches you differently from the world.
The world is so different from CHRIST.
No verse in the Bible will tell you of His love for worldly things.
Like He's wearing the best garb.
That He lives in a mansion.
That He rides a thoroughbred horse.
That He has so many followers.
That He's got power.
Nope, we never heard of the LORD speak of such foolish things.
He never called attention to Himself.
He was sent to save us from all that foolishness.
He was sent to save us from our sins.
He was sent to teach us about GOD.
So, when I hear about people boasting about their wealth, beauty, and power, I can only smile to myself.
All that will fade.
All that is temporary.
All that is of the world.
All that is of no importance.
All that is of Satan.
You have no idea his perverted ways.
You have no idea the imminence of the Rapture.
You have no idea the IMPERMANENCE of things.
Before the covid crisis, man was all over the place.
He was traveling, partying, enjoying, unaware, uncaring.
During the crisis, his foolishness was clipped -- somewhat.
After the crisis, he went back to his old, wild, wanton ways.
On an ever greater scale.
As if to make up for all the lockdowns.
As if there was no lesson to be learned.
As if he has no tomorrow.
Well, I can tell you about the spirit behind all that.
Revelation 12:12
King James Version
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens,
and ye that dwell in them.
Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea!
for the devil is come down unto you,
having great wrath, because he knoweth
that he hath but a short time.
He's not about to let anyone believe in JESUS.
2 Corinthians 4:4
King James Version
4 In whom the god of this world
hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,
lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,
who is the image of God,
should shine unto them.
Satan is the spirit behind all deception.
Behind all discontent.
Behind all destruction.
His vile, evil ways know no bounds.
Notice the words "vile" and "evil".
It's just a matter of rearranging that four-letter word.
That's what the enemy of CHRIST represents.
And yet, if you were to be born again, that word would be different.
Followers of JESUS know what the LORD called us to:
to "live"
JESUS wants you to live.
John 10:10
King James Version
10 The thief cometh not,
but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:
I am come that they might have life,
and that they might have it more abundantly.
He does not want you to die.
2 Peter 3:9
King James Version
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise,
as some men count slackness;
but is longsuffering to us-ward,
not willing that any should perish,
but that all should come to repentance.
Through His RESURRECTION, He defeated death, and the devil:
Hebrews 2:14
King James Version
14 Forasmuch then as the children
are partakers of flesh and blood,
he also himself likewise took part of the same;
that through death he might destroy him
that had the power of death,
that is, the devil;
Why would you want that vile, evil spirit in you?
When JESUS offers you eternal life instead?
Unbelievers have no idea what is to come.
You cannot continue as before.
It's time for everyone to WAKE up.
It's time for everyone to BELIEVE in the LORD JESUS.
Matthew 24:37-38
King James Version
37 But as the days of Noah were,
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood
they were eating and drinking,
marrying and giving in marriage,
until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came,
and took them all away;
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
If you're not a believer in JESUS, it's time to be.
If you're a backsliding born again, it's time to be perfect.
If you're skeptical, only the HOLY SPIRIT can teach you.
If you don't care to listen, only GOD's WRATH can show you.
By then, it will be too late for you.
SPIRIT and I wrote this post, to make you awake, aware, and alert.
It is my duty as workman, and watchman.
We would not want you to perish.
JESUS warned us early on:
Mark 1:15
King James Version
15 And saying,
The time is fulfilled,
and the kingdom of God is at hand:
repent ye,
and believe the gospel.
