How many of you feel as if your day isn't complete when you get up you brush your teeth,wash your face and drink your coffee. That is a thing you do each day.Now many of us have become complacent in dealing with our spiritual being, many of us have become caught up in the rituals of men in our worship and in our understandings of God ,Jesus,The Holy Spirit. You ask me how? By the fact that we have allowed preachers,teachers,and others to mold and form our ways and thoughts about how we believe and we don't open God's Word to find the TRUTH. We have allowed this to happen and we make excuses why we don't dig deeper and get more intimate,personal with Jesus. Saying these excuses we all have used from one time or another like "I am too busy.",My family needs me to do _____ fill in the blank., I am just to tired after a full day of work,or I don't understand what I am reading. There are many reasons we tell ourselves and at the time we feel that they are valid,but I tell you this if you and I don't study,read,dig into God's Word and really get His Words into your souls you will follow anything that sounds like it is spiritual or it sounds like God's Words. DO NOT LEAD DOWN THE WIDE PATH TO HELL FOLKS! The only way you or I can battle against this wave of confusion is by getting into the words and starting your day in Studying, PRAYER,reading Scriptures and leading a way of life that is different and is God Honoring.
Paul writes in Colossians and I believe and know that when we remove the rituals and traditions of men from our walk with the Lord Jesus Christ we can be free and we can be infused with wisdom,knowledge and then share this joyful understanding with as many as will have ears to hear and eyes to see.Amen!
Col 1:9 And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
Col 1:10 so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.
Col 1:11 May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy,
Col 1:12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.
Col 1:13 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son,
Col 1:14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Col 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
Col 1:16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-all things were created through him and for him.
Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.
Col 1:19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell,
Col 1:20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
Col 1:21 And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds,
Col 1:22 he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him,
Col 1:23 if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.
