Take a second to yourself and ask yourself, "Why am I not living a life for God?" If you are truly living a life for God then ask yourself, "What can I do to win souls to God."
My friend it seems as though we have fallen short. We have taking a step back. We have allowed circumstances, test, trials, people, jobs, money, sex, drinking, smoking, partying to play a huge factor in our walk with God. We have put God aside and let things that are of the world take over our lives. How much longer will we continue to walk in sin when we know we belong to God? How much longer will we keep making excuses why we are not living a life for God? You know the excuse I am too young and I just want to have fun has run out! It is time to take up your cross and let your sinful ways go!
The number one distraction in our lives is *PLEASURE* Not even real pleasure but temporary pleasure. Do you not know that the pleasures of the world are temporary? Think about it.. When you go to smoke, you always go back for more. When you go to drink, you always go back for more. When you have sex, you always want some more. Why is this you may ask? These are temporary satisfying moments. They run out so you keep going back. They are tricks of the adversary. The devil tells you to do what you want, have as much fun as you can, sleep with whoever you want as many times as you want but where is this getting you in life.. No where!
Whenever sin takes place it bringeth forth death. This doesn’t have to be an actual death but it can be something bad. Lets look into this.. Say you have sex with someone and you two do not use a condom or say the condom breaks, then she gets pregnant. The day and age we live in now, what's become most common is the use of abortion(which is the killing of an unborn child). If sex had never taking place there would be no abortion. Who knows what you have possibly killed before it was born. We have become a slave unto sin and our sinful lifestyle is winning the battle over our spiritual lifestyle.
It is time to stop looking for a temporary fix. It is time to stop trying to take matters into your own hands. I tell you now from experience. If God is not in it then it is not going to work. For all of you that is unequally yoked, meaning one is saved and the other isn't, it is time to come up out of that relationship. It is not healthy and in the end it will lead to destruction. Even though its hard to let go of because deep feelings are involved it is the right thing to do. You have to trust God. He will not steer you wrong and He will find you another!
Our lives shouldn’t just consist of what can I do for pleasure and fun. Every weekend, looking for a club/party to roam, what to drink, who can I sleep with. This is not what our lives should be. There is a different lifestyle to live. You may say I am not ready, well I ask you this, when will you ever be ready? Do not wait for something bad to happen to turn your life to God. If you could get yourself ready for the change then you wouldn’t need God. Let God change you! He has ALL the power to give you the change and joy that you are looking for. You will not find the joy and happiness that God can give you in the streets.
Take time to seriously reflect on your life after reading this message and ask yourself, "What is holding me back from living a saved lifestyle?" See what needs/who needs to be let go of to walk on one accord with God. My friend it is time to go to higher grounds with God. God is waiting for you to knock so He can open the door. Will you come!?
2nd Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
