Godless Living

-

Their thinking became useless. Their foolish minds were filled with darkness. They said they were wise, but they became fools. Romans 1:21-22


 

Since the hedonist (Definition:
1.the doctrine that pleasure or happiness is the highest good. 2. Devotion to pleasure and self-gratification as a way of life.) has never seen the hand who made the universe, he or she assumes there is no life beyond the here and now. He or She believes there is no truth beyond this room. No purpose beyond his own pleasure. No divine factor. He has no concern for the eternal…

The hedonist says, "Who cares? I may be bad, but so what? What I do is my business." He's more concerned about satisfying his passions than in knowing the Father. His life is so desperate for pleasure that he has no time or room for God.

Is he right? Is it OK to spend our days thumbing our noses at God and living it up?

Paul says, "Absolutely not!"

According to Romans 1, we lose more than stained-glass windows when we dismiss God. We lose our standard, our purpose, and our worship.

The Devotion above was taken from Grace for the Moment.


 

Me:

I wanted to encourage those who would come across this page and read this devotion to not allow anyone or anything to cause you to lose your Godly standards, your God-given purpose, and your worship unto God.

In this world we live in today, it is so easy to be caught up in self-gratifications. But we must press on even harder to LOVE the Lord with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength. We must love God more than our wants, needs, and desires. We must love Him even more that we love our family. God wants our total and complete devotion to him without reservations.

Characteristics of the Jezebel Spirit!

-
Characteristics of the Jezebel Spirit: 1. It is a satanic evil spirit. 2. The root of this spirit most often lies from hurt and pain bottled up within the carrier from childhood or unforgiveness from many hurts, pains, disappoints, abuse, etc. throughout the individuals life that has not been properly dealt with. This person was more than likely hurt by someone they loved, cared for, or trusted. The person carrying the jezebel spirit most often don’t know that they are carrying it because they have been deceived into believing that they are well and nothing is wrong. They most often deal with their hurts and pains by inflicting hurt and pain on others or getting others to sympathize with their pain to the point of bringing them under their control. They usually find people who have low-self-esteem, people who are genuinely loving God - minding their own business, and focus on the work that God has put in their hands, and people who lack discernment in regards to this spirit in par...

To participate in this meme you may click on the following link: http://toknowhimjesus.blogspot.com/2008/02/know-tell-friday.html Question 1 (In honor of my best fwend today.... she has been so ill :( How often do you get real sick? I really don't get sick often at all. It's been that way ever since I can remember. I remember wanting to be sick so I could stay home from school just for one day. Question 2 Do you usually send serious or humorous greeting cards? Why? I usually send serious ones because I like to be a blessing to others by giving words of encouragement, wisdom, and appreciation. Question 3 Are you a person who has a whole lot of acquaintances, or just a few very close friends? I have both. I have very few close friends because true friends are hard to come by. I hold what the Bible says a true friend should be to heart and it is hard to find genuine people who have the same belief/standards. I have many acquaintances because I believe that we are to live at peace ...
