Living by the Sword

When I was a young man of 21 years of age I heard the voice of Jesus say to me, “come follow me” My answer to Him was, “yes Lord I will follow you”.

I learned rather quickly one cannot follow Jesus by walking in the direction that most of the world is traveling, one cannot follow Jesus by standing in the middle of the road and going nowhere and one cannot get to where Jesus is by turning back to the direction they came out of.

If I am to reach my final destination in Heaven then I will have to walk day by day hand in hand with Jesus never turning back never stopping where I am, but walking the straight and narrow path every day that leads to eternal life in Heaven.

I will have to listen as He speaks to me and I will have to follow His orders as He directs the steps that I take in my life.

When I was counted among the working class I worked for many different companies over the years and I had many bosses that asked me to do many things in the behalf of the company. But when bosses orders were in conflict with Gods orders my decision was to follow Gods word and not man’s orders.

In these troubled times that America is traveling in we are here because we stopped listening to the voice of God and began to follow in the direction of man. This is exactly what happened to the first man Adam and it caused him to be evicted from the beautiful Garden of Eden that God made for him. He chose to listen and obey another voice instead of God.

In our nation today many are going in the wrong direction, many are standing in the middle of the road not knowing which direction to go and many have turned back to the direction that will cost their freedom and return them to the rule of government and enslave them in obedience to man’s orders causing us to lose this beautiful country and the freedoms that it was founded on.

God gave us this wonderful country to live in freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We can continue to ignore His voice and continue the way we are going that will surely return America to what it was before our forefathers broke free from the tyrants of Great Britain giving their life’s blood in great battle to give us a free country with a Declaration of Independence and a constitution that guarantees freedom of the people as long as it is enforced and kept exactly the way it was written.

Or we can begin listening to the word and the voice of Almighty God we can make our decision to follow his leading and our country can be saved and healed from the destructive forces that are now at work and in control of it.

 

2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
