About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"STAY CLOSE TO JESUS" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
STAY CLOSE TO JESUS
HAS YOUR PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS GROWN COLD? YOU KNOW YOU STILL LOVE HIM BUT YOU DON'T FEEL AS CLOSE AS YOU DID WHEN YOU FIRST ACCEPTED HIM AS YOUR SAVIOR. WELL, HE SAID IN MATTHEW 24:12 "AND BECAUSE INIQUITY SHALL ABOUND, THE LOVE OF MANY SHALL WAX COLD." I LOOKED UP THE WORD INIQUITY IN THE DICTIONARY AND IT SAID: WICKEDNESS, WICKED ACT OR SIN. THAT COVERS A LOT TO DRAW US AWAY FROM READING THE WORD AND FELLOWSHIPPING WITH JESUS. THIS IS WHERE ROMANS 12:2 COMES IN. "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT WE ARE IN THIS WORLD BUT WE CAN'T TAKE PART OF THE EVIL THAT IS IN THIS WORLD. ANDREW WOMMACK ONCE SAID THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE WORLD'S SYSTEM AND THOSE IN IT, BUT WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL AND MAINTAIN PROPER BALANCE.
ALTHOUGH IT IS HARD TO DO BUT WE MUST BREAK OFF THE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THOSE WHO INFLUENCE US NEGATIVELY MORE THAN WE INFLUENCE THEM POSITIVELY. IF WE ARE TRYING TO TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS AND THEY JUST WON'T LISTEN, THE BEST WAY TO DEAL WITH IT IS TO PRAY FOR THEM. HOLY SPIRIT CAN REACH THEM A LOT BETTER THAN WE CAN. OUR CONCERN MUST BE OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS. THAT IS WHAT IS GOING TO GET US THROUGH THIS WORLD.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
Preach the word. How can they hear without a preacher. You know I wrote a blog about such. There are many different situations David. If some people aren’t told and their eyes aren’t open that’s not going to help. I mean if you were at work and your boss told you something but you’re not listening but He/she just decided to pray for you they couldn’t have you around to wait around for you to come around. I mean prayer is excellent. And it does work. But sometimes telling somebody and explaining to somebody is the best route to go. If you don’t address the situation how is it going to get resolved. This is why some people don’t believe in Jesus for years to come. Or some people follow a counterfeit Jesus far removed from whom he truly is/was. Sometimes “some” street preacher appear to be yelling instead of really talking to them. They’re too busy with confrontation. But sometimes the person on the other end isn’t listening as well. Some people are blind to certain situations. The believer may judge wrongly as well.
This is life. In the name of Jesus may you have a wonderful day today David.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR REMARKS AND I PRAY THAT JESUS WILL BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY.
