    Thank you Lord Jesus for saving me from a past life of materialism and being lukewarm toward You. Now that You have heated me up by healing my soul, help me perform in this time when your message must be charged against the evils around us. May we believers live out and not be shy to witness for Your glory.

      @@Rumblenjungle welcome home. Want to avoid returning to what led you away? Disassociate yourself with those that drug you down. There are plenty of new friends in the Kingdom of God's faith communities. Steep yourself in real in-depth Bible study/research, not just intellectually, but more-so spiritually. Begin each day with prayer. A short devotional or lengthy conversation with the Lord -- it's does not matter. Just get into that discipline. Demonstrate your changed life and do not be shy about it. In all you do, ultimately do it to glorify God. Oh, you've excited me and there is so much more I could say, but that is plenty for now. We live in a time during which men of God like you are mot needed. Now, let's go be a blessing.

    This question has been bothering me for many many months now? How do I know if I’m lukewarm or not? I know I have backslided. I was on fire for the Lord when I got saved and then i went through a time where I was doing my own things again but not in the same way I was. I used to be an alcoholic and a foul mouthed child but I never did those things again after the Lord took those desires away. But now I struggle with sins that I end up isolating myself from other believers and try to hide from Jesus and I don’t know if that means I’m lukewarm or not. The message was really good and part of me felt like I am but I can’t tell if it’s the Lord or if it’s my own thoughts trying to take over.

    CARNAL MIND: a mind that's ordinary; of mere HUMAN UNDERSTANDING; just normal human life.
    Carnally minded thinking is often the Christian's worst enemy. How Christian's perceives biblical truth (will) ultimately determine whether they will live or die eternally. This true fact could reference why the Apostle Paul had devoted a large portion of his ministry to warning and encouraging his converts to live and THINK like Christ! (Romans 8:6).
    📖 Philippians 2:5 📖
    Let this (Godly) mind be in you, which was (also) in Christ Jesus:
    Notice how Paul had began the verse by saying the word "Let"....this is very significant to note because in our natural or CARNAL state of mind, we have willfully chosen to reject any Godly information that does not resinate or agree with our natural born senses. In our natural born state, we are taught through our five senses. The sense of sight, hearing, smelling, touching and taste. However, it does not necessarily apply in the Spiritual realm (Matthew 16:17).
    📖 Corinthians 2:14 📖
    The (Christian) person WITHOUT the Spirit does (not) accept the things that come (from) the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and CANNOT understand them because they are discerned ONLY through the Spirit.
    You see?....it is our carnal THOUGHTS or our faithless THINKING that causes us to fall deeper into an endless cycle of pain and misery.
    The Apostle Paul is our classic human example of how to remain Spiritually alive and well by fighting against our former carnal ways of thinking (2 Corinthians 5:13)
    📖 Romans 7:23 📖
    But I (Paul) see in my members another law waging war against the law of my MIND and making me (captive) to the LAW of SIN that (dwells) in my members.
    "As a man thinks, so is he."
    Proverbs 23:7
    This expression means that what someone SAYS or DOES is NOT necessarily what they THINK in their heart. People may be courteous or polite but have contentious thoughts and sentiments. ❤️🙏🏾🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊❤️🙏🏾🕊🕊🕊

    The Time of the end of satan has come! Though God should have destroyed him long ago... God is tired of the devil and all of his tempting, lying, deciet, and workings of evil to draw people away from God, into lying doctrines of devils and begging not to be ended by God threw his Prophet speaking to bring forth the end you see today. The storms, Fires, Earthquakes, violence, from ppl not keeping the Truth, and diseases plaguing the earth! So God says Satan and all workers of iniquity its your time! I have had enough of you going forth pouring forth your wickedness to lead people to hell, and speak to me as if I will not destroy you for the things you are speaking blasphemy wise against me. I shall destroy you and all of your devils in the Lake that burn with fire and brimstone

    The truth; how important is it? Well, when it comes to having the correct vision of Jesus, it is of the utmost importance, because it (will) be the TRUTH that save us.
    📖 John 14:6 📖
    Jesus answered, “I am the way and the TRUTH and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
    We must have (the) true vision of Jesus Christ in order to remain alive.
    📖 Proverbs 29:18 📖
    Where there is NO VISION, the people PERISH: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
    This is the reason why Jesus had specifically stated that there is ONLY ONE true knowledge about the God of our salvation.
    📖 John 17:3 📖
    Now this (is) ETERNAL LIFE: that they (the Christians) KNOW you, the ONLY TRUE God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. (to save the lost)
    If a person removes ANY truth from the Holy Bible, then they will no longer have a Bible!
    Sent with much LOVE, take care and God bless you all ❤️🙏🏾📖🙏🏾❤️🕊📖
