What’s in Front of You That‘s Keeping You From Reaching Christ?

Often times we go through things in our natural walk in life that tend to put constrains on our emotional state of mind, there by leading us into physical incapacity. Sometimes that physical and mental incapacity will lead to a damaging effect on our psyche, or in other words our soul. An incapacity in your soul will ultimately setup a instability in your life-walk which contains your natural and spiritual walk (Flesh & Soul). I’m not trying to sound so philosophical, I’m just want all of you to know that cleaving to the things and the affair and emotions of you life-walk will leave you with an uncertain and confused understanding of yourself and others. Needlessly to say, it will lead to a disjointed relationship with Jesus Christ. Follow me as I cover a few things that are common among human beings first, then I will address people of God the “true Christians” last.

HUMAN:
A. Cares of this worldly life. Example: P.M.S. “ power, money, sex.”
B. Prideful heart and mind, with no humility
C. The Idolatrous mindset. Example: the mind that is quick to worship something before having an understanding
D. A faithful refusal to accept the truth because of subjugation

In the Bible, Christians:
A. Walking as a Christian without knowing or understanding what the will of Jesus is for them.
B. Moving in zeal and not in authority.
C. Lacking in faith with little patience.
D. Lots of or lack of fire but no fuel.

Proverbs 3:5-14 reads:
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. 9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. 11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD;
neither be weary of his correction: 12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. 13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver,
and the gain thereof than fine gold.

So if you are holding onto things or people in this life, then this is like standing with one foot in the fire and the other water. It’s your choice, whether it be you all in or you all out. It time to choose. The Word of God says choose you this day who you will serve.

In my conclusion let’s read Colossians 3:1-16

1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which
things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. 8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision,
Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. 12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness
humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye
thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.


It is So in Jesus Name.
