Have You Made Your Mind up Yet?
Are You Following Jesus or the World?
Good morning.
We have to have a made up mind, who we are going to follow. This is a brother in our local fellowship singing about who he will follow.
“What are your excuses My people?” I am hearing The LORD say.
“Make up your mind, or it will be too late one day.
Penny for your thoughts?
So you think you can backside and still make it right before the great and Notable day of The LORD?
Many of you are choosing wrong and trying to be on both sides of a picket fence. Look it up daughter.”
“Picket fence” ” Yaken from Dictionary.com : “noun” a fence consisting of pickets or pales nailed to horizontal stringers between upright posts. “Wordnic: straddle: străd′l : intransitive verb
To stand or sit with a leg on each side of; bestride. To be on both sides of; extend over or across. To appear to favor both sides of (an issue).
“Look not to the right or the left any longer but straight ahead for your vision is getting stronger if only you let.
In the days that lie ahead, there will be many calamities and trials. I will see you through ALL things!
Still if you wont come, how can I lead you and guide you?
The fruit is on the vine ready for the picking. Choose Me. Pick Holy fruit!
Why choose rotten corrupt fruit?
The fruit of Righteousness will stand!
Your pain is obvious but there is a balm of Gilead for the asking.
Love you everyone I do but it is Time to get off the fence and choose.
A blessing or a curse is yours. You pick!”
“And if it seem evil unto you to serve The LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve The LORD.” Joshua 24:15.
“Who shall ascend into the hill of The LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from The LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.” Psalm 24:3-5.
“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of The LORD come. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of The LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as The LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom The LORD shall call.” Joel 2:28-32.
“Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; a blessing, if ye obey the commandments of The LORD your God, which I command you this day: and a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of The LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.” Deuteronomy 11:26-28.
“Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.” Galatians 5:19-26.

Oh yes…made my mind up a number of years ago…I have found no better way to be content in life…his way of loving me is a way that’s hard to describe because people love conditionally. He doesn’t and yet if I should decide because of my free will..to do what I want instead…he is silent. He doesn’t like to see me fail…it hurts him so even though my will is Free I follow so that were both happy…his ways are not my ways…they are higher and better then mine
Thank you Mary Jo and Jon for your comments. Yes, Mary Jo it sounds like you have a made up mind for Christ!God’s richest blessings over you both.
