Revelation 3:16
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Because people were lukewarm, they were neither on one side, cold, or on the other, hot, God casted them out of his mouth, basically going towards hell out of his sight and not toward heaven.
This type of feeling, lukewarmness has plagued the Christian community. Many Christians claim they love Jesus but their faith is neither hot or cold. Their knowledge of the bible is neither hot, an hunger for memorizing the word, nor cold, not reading let alone wanting to memorize the word.
In light of this LUKEWARMNESS that has plagued my generation and this world I am blogging on a series called Lukewarm Christians. As stated in the title todays' will be to Trust and Obey:
How BLESSED would YOUR LIVES BE!??
Many Christian "ENDURE" Christianity rather than "ENJOY" Christianity which is what God intended us to do.
John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
There are so many existing things on this earth that want to steal your joy, happiness and peace, but the one thing that came to give you abundant life should not be the cause of any pain.
Why are you saying you are Born Again? Love the lord but still plagued with sin? Or find it difficult to go to a church or read the word?
People who identify this way need to just surrender themselves and recognize their mind's judgement is not the right one. We must forsake our own thinking. In dealing with the things of God, what you think is right, wrong, or indifferent doesn't matter. So de-clutter your mind of your thoughts. Give and submit yourself unto the Lord and let him start filling your mind with his thoughts from the word of God, the Bible.
Trusting and obeying God is quite simple. You must yes one, repent of your sins and become born again, then start believing and living for Christ, but the key is to continue to climb and strive for holiness and righteousness. It's through your seeking more of God and remaining pure trusting and obeying God becomes easy. If one stays in a lukewarm state meaning, one day you choose to strive for holiness and righteousness and the next day you want to commit all the sins you want, then trusting and obeying God will be very hard for you.
Helping you to trust and obey God is also treating him like your best-friend or companion you may be dating or are married to. Of course he is above all of these, but it's to be in constant conversation with him. Through prayer you can talk to God any where. Not only in church, in the car, on your bed, at the gym, everywhere. Through conversing with him you are welcome to tell him anything on your heart, ask him questions and he'll answer you if you are righteousness.
Psalm 55:22
Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
God doesn't want you and I to keep anything in our hearts and minds too long. He wants us to use him, lean on and cast our cares and burdens on him. Another easy way to trust and obey him is letting him take care of you, your trials at the time, and allowing him to give you advice or completely solve it for you. This gives you time to obey God as you trust and have faith he'll work things out.
I pray you all seek to truly Trust and Obey God, and you aren't all talk and no walk.
