Exodus 20:1-3
King James Version
20 And God spake all these words,
saying,
2 I am the Lord thy God,
which have brought thee
out of the land of Egypt,
out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods
before me.
What are you focused on these days?
Are you focused on God, too?
How much are you focused on God?
How much do you love Him?
Do you know God at all?
Do you know His love?
Do you know His power?
Do you know His wrath?
Do you know His Word?
Do you know His Son?
Do you know the Holy Spirit?
Do you know His commandments?
Do you care at all?
Do you believe in being born again?
Does the world care about the Lord?
Do they serve Jesus?
Has the world brought us back to God?
Has it distanced us from God?
How has it distanced us from God?
Who are our modern-day gods?
What are our modern-day gods?
Are you really aware of what's happening to the world?
What are the world's methods, and devices, to distract us from focusing on the Word of God?
How have the world's devices corrupted us?
Can we really see the extent of such corruption?
Who is the real source of all distractions?
How do you wish your life to be different?
Beware of being distracted from focusing on the Lord.
We must not allow the enemy to take hold of us.
Romans 16:17-18 (KJV)
17 Now I beseech you,
brethren,
mark them which cause divisions
and offences
contrary to the doctrine
which ye have learned;
and avoid them.
18 For they that are such
serve not our Lord Jesus Christ,
but their own belly;
and by good words and fair speeches
deceive the hearts of the simple.
For they are slick, and sly.
Matthew 7:15 (KJV)
15 Beware of false prophets,
which come to you in sheep's clothing,
but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Ready to devour you, at a moment's notice.
1 Peter 5:8 (KJV)
8 Be sober,
be vigilant;
because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion,
walketh about,
seeking whom he may devour:
Our only hope is in Christ.
Let not the shedding of the blood of Christ be for nothing.
Let us focus on Christ alone.
Let us offer our hearts back to Christ.
Colossians 3:1-2 (KJV)
3 If ye then be risen with Christ,
seek those things which are above,
where Christ sitteth
on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above,
not on things on the earth.
The Lord Jesus will deliver us from doubt, deception, division, distraction, and destruction -- some of the devil's devices.
Psalm 91:14-15 (KJV)
14 Because he hath set his love upon me,
therefore will I deliver him:
I will set him on high,
because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me,
and I will answer him:
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him,
and honour him.
More than at any other time on earth, today is the day we must return to the Lord.
Become born again, and you will understand things of the Spirit, as well as making you aware of Satan's devices.
2 Corinthians 2:11 (KJV)
11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us:
for we are not ignorant of his devices*.
Be sealed by the Holy Spirit of God.
Until you have the anointing of the Holy Spirit, you are not His.
We need the Holy Spirit to teach us God's TRUTH.
1 John 2:27 (KJV)
27 But the anointing
which ye have received of him
abideth in you,
and ye need not that any man teach you:
but as the same anointing
teacheth you of all things,
and is truth,
and is no lie,
and even as it hath taught you,
ye shall abide in him.
