“Soul Survivor”

 

No One Knows That Day and Hour

Mat 24:36  But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

Mat 24:37  But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

 

What is a threat to my soul? This is something we should ask ourselves daily.  Then take time to reflect on what we have done related to speech, thoughts, and behavior. We will get our answer.

 

If there is anything that we should ask God to forgive us, and repent of,then we should spend alone time with the Lord and have an honest conversation with him.

 

The truth is, we think, speak, and act on things constantly without taking a moment to pause, run it by the Lord, before we continue.

 

The same thing is true regarding things that we do in life. We don’t stop and pray about what we are going to do, whether or not it is ok with God. We just do it.

 

Soul Survivor is not one of us being the last person to stand, thereby winning a contest. It is literally what it says, “soul “

Our soul, surviving, bypassing the hell and lake of fire.

 

Our souls will continue to live for eternity, either in heaven, in peace and joy, or in the lake of fire, in eternal torment.

 

Soul survivor is about us taking responsibility to ensure our soul survives, bypassing eternal torment.

 

It is scrutinize, everything, minute to minute; how we respond to others and their words, behavior, and our words, thoughts, and actions. God is watching us. Our every thought, speech, feeling, and actions are recorded. It is time to perfect, polish, and focus the specific things about our life. 

 

If each of us were in a situation of survival. We would pay attention to every detail. We would tread very careful to ensure that we would survive. The most profound way to watch over our soul is to become aware of all things that concern each of us as human beings.

 

Watch how we respond, be aware of our thoughts and what we will say. It is constant awareness of how things affect us and what we will do about it.If we could hear a conversation between our soul and temptation, it might go something like this. 

 

Temptation : “It doesn’t matter what you are trying to accomplish. I said, that person needs to be taught a lesson about rudeness. Handle it”

 

Soul: “I no longer want to behave that way. I will not curse that person using filthy language or insult them. I am gonna do this my way, the way that pleases my Lord.”

 

Temptation: “Then get ready to deal with the consequences of rebellion. No one says no to me.”

 

Scripture: 

Mat 26:41  Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 

 

The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.

 

When the Lord says “watch” he means we should be on guard for anything or anyone that will come along and tempts us. He says “pray” as we are on guard being watchful of situations, or people who could tempt us, we should be prayer. Not every prayer has to be long. 

 

If you know you are walking into a meeting between you and your boss and whether you have an idea or not as to why the two of you are meeting, pray for clarity, strength, a calm spirit to listen and respond in a professional manner. If you are one of those people who has an anger problem and it is easy for you to lose your cool, then you should be praying for yourself and the situation before you go in there.

 

James 4:7  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 

 

We tend to walk around with the belief that we are strong and intelligent to be caught off guard by temptation. No one believes that they will be caught off guard by the return of Jesus either but since  the father, only knows the day and the hour. that knocks us out of the “ in the know” category.

 

The most important thing is to be ready for that day and hour when he appears.

There will be no time to try and catch up. For those in their deathbed, they have the last opportunity to ask the Lord to forgive them and come into their lives.

 

Like the thief on the cross did, who was crucified next to Jesus. When the Lord comes back for his people. They are already his, because they led the righteous life he tells us to live in his scriptures. Your opportunity is right now while you continue to draw breath.

 

Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye 

 

Jas 4:7  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 

 

🟢if we make it a habit of living our lives in a “Ready” position. We will be ready to meet Jesus, When he returns.

 

🟢We all have those things, weaknesses and traits that are a threat to our soul.

 

As the Lord brings these things to the surface within us. Know that this is something that you need to work on. We all have something and as we work on our personal relationship with the Lord, be willing to repent of those things from your past, and present. 

 

As the Lord reveals reflection of our true self; let us set pride aside, humble ourselves, and accept that what he is showing us:

 

characteristics of what has been dwelling inside of our hearts.

things that are keeping us out of alignment with him.

 

They threatens our salvation. We do not want there to be anything that keeps us bound in the position of a lost soul. Since getting baptized at the tender age of 12, 13, 17, can you say that you have walked in righteousness with God? Without sin? Any sin that has been committed, have you repented of it?

 

We all fall and have to get up. But once we get up, it is time to fall in step with righteousness, not ignore God.

 

Matthew 5:6

6  Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

 

Closing prayer:

 

We can only be responsible for our soul.

How others think and believe will be their choice.

 

If we take in account everything your word of  says, without making excuses, we can remain on task 

 

No one knows the day or the hour of your return.  I pray that each of us will strive to live for you and  strive for righteousness. In the name of Jesus, amen.
