One of Satan’s main strategies for keeping you from entering into the Kingdom of Heaven
is to keep you busy, to keep you distracted to the things that are in and of this world,
the people of this world, and the cares of this world. He wants you to keep your focus
on the things down on here, on the things that really do not matter. You see, all of
us in our lives have made really bad decisions. We’ve made connections with other people
that have distracted us from following Jesus. We’ve made connections with hobbies and
activities… You know, we may be involved with organizations or different things that
basically rob God of time that we should be spending with Him. So, what each of us must
do to make sure that we are in right-standing with Jesus is we must go to Him and ask Him
and say, “LORD what is in my life that is not pleasing to You?” “Show me what’s
in my life, show me if these people in my life that I’m spending my time with, are
these people that You want me to cut off, that you want me to turn away from?” “Is
this thing that I’m doing; is it bringing You glory or is this just a distraction?”
Because ultimately, whatever it is in your life and whoever it is in your life… If
that person, if that thing is not bringing you closer to JESUS, if it’s not glorifying
JESUS, if it’s not producing good fruit in your life, than ultimately it’s just
a distraction. And if it’s not cut off, if it’s not cut out of your life it can
lead you down the broad road of destruction and ultimately you will end up in hell. So,
I pray that you will take this to JESUS and ask Him to examine you and show you whatever
it is in your life that is not pleasing to Him. Ask Him to show you the people, show
you the things that you’re doing, the places you’re going that HE is not pleased with
because sin is what separates us from God. So, everything that is in our life that is
not of JESUS; we have to get rid of and we can only do that through the POWER of the
HOLY SPIRIT. He wants to help you, He wants to show you, but you have to go to HIM. YOU
have to listen and wait and HE will confirm it to YOU. Take it to JESUS – May Jesus
bless you.
