🖤2 Peter 3:1-14 KJV — This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.🖤

Beloved , I pray you read below and are encouraged . Time is getting shorter. Each day we wake up is one less day we have on earth, a thousand years is but a day to our Father in heaven. But Eternity is forever, many of us wont even make it until 90 let alone a thousand years.
But when Christ returns (like a thief in the night ) , and His time as King is fulfilled and He gives His reigns to The Father in heaven, where will we spend Eternity? With them? How can we know this for sure ? Is our assurance in the bible and its entirety or in sermons given from a man behind a pulpit? From our collection books or YouTube videos (outside of the bible ). Or is your assurance in your “theology” you learned in a seminary school?
With precepts ALONE can we build our lives? With Precepts ALONE can we stand confident , and assured , we are in the perfect will of The Most High God?

The Most High God wants us all to be with Him for eternity. But He won’t make us love Him. We have to do it willingly , according to the verse above The Most High is long suffering towards us , He wants us to repent , and return to Him. The question is , have we ? Have we repented and returned back to The Most High God ? What does it mean to return to Him ? Is it a feeling ? Is it just a confession? Does this require action ? I pray we always remember each day that faith without action is dead.

I am praying we reflect on these question tonight , and for our whole life so that we can know where we stand and change accordingly for our salvation. Because judgment is coming for all, whether we believe it or not. Just like the laws of this country exist whether we are aware of believe in it or not. Even more so the laws and commandments of heaven.

If you break the law and are caught you are put on trial and sentenced, according to the law you can have the minimum or maximum punishment. But whatever sentence you get will be either minimum or maximum if found guilty. We are all guilty of sin, we all have fallen short of the glory of The Most High and it is only through Christ , the word of The Most High we are cleansed and without blemish ,but with that comes standards to live with, the laws , statutes and commandments.

The Most High God , has two eternal judgments according to His law, follow the way , Christ, aka COMMANDMENTS and law, or follow Satan. One very specific way leads to heaven and one broad way leads to the second death , lake of fire .

We will be on trial, we will be forced to see every decision we made and be accused of the enemy, and prayerfully defended by Christ , but it is depending on our riches spiritually , we may or may not be able to get Christ as a mediator for us, but Satan will be our accuser and nothing can be hid, from the Lord nor can He be manipulated or swayed. So tell me , how well do we know this law that determines our eternity? What does the enemy hold against us ?
What are we doing to endure without spot and be blameless, to afford Christ as our mediator, YES grace is free, without grace we were marked for death, heaven though is not. It will cost our entire life, are you willing to pay the price?

Think about this example , beloved , someone can pay for your gym membership,  and you could hold the card, and have access, to this gym membership , but NO ONE can work out for , if YOU don't get into that gym you won't be able to exercise , and complete your health goal. 

Christ gave us grace , He bought us a way into heaven through His obedience to The Most High God, but ONLY we can walk that narrow road for ourselves . Only we can take each brave step for ourselves, only we can choose the commandments and laws over the flesh beloved, Christ chose the narrow road and walked it before us , so that we could do it too with the power Christ within us being perfect like Him, without spot , we can’t do that without the laws and commandments , and without being faithfull , let us not forsake the precepts from Genesis to revelations . Let us have hope precept upon precept , line upon line , I pray , That each day we grow and lose slot and before the throne of grace be not spotty 🖤this I pray faithfully in Yashayas name with a smile .🖤
