Fear is a potent, paralyzing & suffocating emotion. While we have not suffered intense persecution as other Christians in hostile areas of the world still do, dose not mean it can not happen still here, if Revelation is prophecy of things which are to happen in the end times, in which we now are only beginning to experience now. It would lead one to believe, its warning, is directed more so toward Christians now today!

I believe To be justified by faith is to trust with all my heart & understanding that every word, & every promise which God has made is true. Salvation is trusting or believing in, by faith, that Jesus Christ paid for your sins with His blood on the cross of Calvary. John 6:37 "All that the Father giveth me, shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out."

Hebrews 6:6 When I read this, it was a passage which greatly concerned me & has haunted me for years, since was it only directed toward Hebrew & not all? I had a time in my life I had listened to hurtful words of a loved one who called me a hypocrite, sadly I let those words sink deep, I slowly began to question the sincerity of my heart, became discouraged, for a time had stopped going to church & gave up trying to change, so it sincerely terrified me that I might be in this state, but I still in my heart I longed & desired to know God even during the time I had grown cold & discouraged,lthough I still seek him,I had myself convinced I had committed a unforgivable sin & was beyond hope. I know this was not so, it was the enemy lie, since my hearts desire was still to be found by Him.

Evidence of spiritual darkness of the anti-Christ is strong in its influence today to intimidate & try to silence Christians from speaking the Truth, ex: Hate Crime laws just legislated. In New York, perhaps other large city's Atheist messages are boldly displayed on city buses Ex" You don't need god to be good, just be good for goodness sake" all might seem trivial to unbeliever, but represent a small evil seed planted in the heart & mind of men, which takes root in the heart to suffocate the truth in their hearts.

There are some wounds & hurts that we have allowed to sink their hooks deep into our hearts instead of dealing with the source of hurt quickly, we nurse and lick our wounds, trying to justify the anger & unforgiving spirit, when I thought I had overcome it, it crept up again because its root was to deep for me to remove on my own, I have to ask God's help in removing it.

To Love the world its false treasures & light which is truly death in darkness, is to turn our back & shun the most precious gift ever given to man God's Grace & mercy,love offered through His Son Jesus Christ. Today we are not totally unlike the people of ancient Ur. Many of us enjoy comfortable homes but live in spiritual darkness. It becomes easy to trust in material possessions and money. But God can pluck people out of idolatry as surely as He plucked Abraham out of Ur, giving him a life of faith and a new direction.

I desire to walk in obedience, yet my flesh rages against me like a savage beast. I beseech God's mercy & grace every morning to teach me to be humble & surrender myself to Him every day. I must be continually reminded by Him my life, my very breath I take, every beat of my heart are no longer mine they are His, who ransomed my soul from death.

So true my desire is to obey, but my flesh rages against me like a savage beast. I beseech God's mercy & grace every day to teach me to surrender myself to Him. I must continually be reminded every breath I take, every beat of my heart are no longer mine but they belong to Him who ransomed my soul from death.
