Even the strongest can fall away

Even the strongest can fall away  -  Thirty Nine 

     The time is upon us where if one is not careful even the strongest Christian will fall away.  In fact, even now many who you thought would never fall away have fallen away.  The reality is that it is going to get worse before it is going to get better.  The Lord counsels you to strengthen what remains.  Keep your eyes on Him.  You must do everything possible to weather the coming storm that is going to test the faith and resolve of even the most seasoned Christian.  Remember everything that can be shaken will be shaken.  The Lord is looking to those who will hold out to the end.  Remember it is not how you start that matters but how you finish.  Only the strong in faith, the diligent in discipline and the powerful in patience will win the day. 

     We are responsible for the following.  We must make sure our priorities in life line up with God’s word.  Only God’s work is the best blueprint for life.  To forsake or abandon it will result in spiritual shipwreck.  Do not allow your focus or vision stray off the Lord.  Keep your eyes firmly fixed.  Remember He is the author and finisher of your faith.  Spiritual blindness is caused by people taking their eyes off of Jesus.   Exercise faith.  Faith is your spiritual muscle that needs to be exercised every day.  Remember it grows because of the Word of God.  It will keep you when all else seems to fail.  Be quick to repent.  Keep short accounts between you and God.  Only the fool believes they can get away with sin without results or consequences.  Do not be lazy or unfaithful.  Both are conditions of a heart that has forgotten their first love.  Your first priority is to love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.  This allows you to learn to love yourself and in turn love others.    You have an adversary who will do all he can to destroy your faith.  He knows exactly where to attack so stay close to the Lord and ask for His help.  Never try to do this alone.  You have the Holy Spirit inside.  You have His gifts and fruit waiting to be release.  Release them into your world and walk in victory.  Remember the grace of God enables us to fight any force, walk into any situation and endure any attack.  His grace mix with your faith will give you the victory.  You are an overcomer, victor and conqueror.  He is your source and your responsibility is to apply His victor to your lives.
