New International Version They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
So many times when I think back over my life, I'am constantly aware of all the blessing that were bestowed upon me because of my obedience to the spirit of Christ, or because of someone else obedience to the spirit of Christ, and I often wonder what has become of the body of Christ What is it that we are afraid of, what is it that so easily besets us. Last week when I came across the video of Donnie boldly admitting to some of the shortcomings,of his life.I realized that he wasn't the only one.We have all been broken,we have all failed at some times in our lives. Yet we hide ourselves in the shadows ,and wonder why our children don't understand us. We live a form of Godliness but our actions deny the fullness of it,.we walk by the wounded as if they aren't there.What's wrong with our children why wont they praise me though I'am the King of kings yet they have no joy , whats wrong with my children,why wont they praise me . Ive given them everything yet they have no joy.What is it that is separating us from the love of God ,what is it that is causing us to have a form of Godliness,but denying the truth their in .Time and time again I asked myself these question over and over again.What I'am I so afraid of why can't I profess my faith with boldness. Some time ago God told me to read the book of acts. I had never read that book before,and about half way through I realized it really was a collection of acts.The disciples did what God called them to do,and they found great joy in persecution ,because they were found worthy to suffer for his sake The Bible says if I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me.We must be renewed in our minds because we are in the fight of our lives.We can no longer afford not to lift up our brothers,and sisters in the Lord.I feel the main reason I;am writing this is because I need to be uplifted. I felt myself growing weary and I had to encourage myself. I don't have the luxury of the days of my youth when the fire was always burning,but God is faithful and he will not allow us to be tempted above that which we are able to bear.
