Our Actions Are Important

Romans 5:19

¹⁹ Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one other person obeyed God, many will be made righteous.

What we do and say is so important.  Often times we don't think anyone is watching us or cares about how we may be acting.  Our loved ones, our friends and believe it or not our co-workers are watching.  I had my marriage counselor tell me one day that my charisma and personality would do one of two things for me and others around me.  He said, " You will lead many astray, including yourself or you will lead many to Jesus.  Your going to be a warrior for one of them, (Jesus or the enemy).  You aren't a person that walks down the middle road or is passive about the road your traveling.  And because of these traits that you posses, you will need to always be cautious and protect yourself and set-up boundaries to stay on track and build your relationship with Lord daily.  And remember this next verse because it will stand true, the enemy knows you have the ability to advance his kingdom here on earth.  People will follow you down the road of faith or down the road of destruction."  Luke 11:24-26:

²⁴ “When an evil spirit leaves a person, it goes into the desert, searching for rest. But when it finds none, it says, ‘I will return to the person I came from.’ ²⁵ So it returns and finds that its former home is all swept and in order.  ²⁶ Then the spirit finds seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they all enter the person and live there. And so that person is worse off than before.”

So remember, people are watching and more importantly remember to prepare for a storm or tribulation when the seas are calm and you can think more clearly.  Make sure you build your faith upon the bedrock of Jesus and let your roots run deep.  So when the enemy returns more powerful than before, you do not waiver and your faith in Christ can shine through and carry you from the valley to the mountain top.  Build that intimate relationship with Jesus and don't be nieve and think the enemy won't return.  

I want to thank all of you for your support and for starting your day with "God's Cup of Coffee".     

Godspeed,
