Social media, the world-wide web, and advertisement has led us to believe we need status labels and designer brands to fill our vanity powered ego. We fall for the superficial guise that somehow these certain labels and brands will be the answer to make us more popular, prettier, or more intelligent looking. But sadly the only thing they do is play on our self-absorbed, conceited self…not changing anything inside. No certain brand will change your life… only being branded by the blood of Christ will ever change you.

Revelation 15: 3-4 ” Great and marvelous are Your deeds, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are Your ways, King of the ages. Who will fear You, Lord, and bring glory to Your name? For You alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before You, for Your righteous acts have been revealed.”
There is coming a terrible moment in time, when the entire human race will simultaneously have the same Divine revelation of God. And in that split second of discovery, all mankind will fall prostrate at His feet…in reverence, worship, and fear.
II Thessalonians 1:11 ” With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of His calling, and that by His power He may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith.”
You are called of God, and with it will start the process of His purpose. This process may be short…it may be lengthy. But with every good-will, benevolent work, you will grow and mature into what He has intended you to be.
Romans 15:4 ” For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.”
The Holy Word of God is not only there to instruct, but also to strengthen and establish us as Believers in our faith. And as our faith is built up…so does our confidence in our Lord.
Psalm 66:20 ” Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me.”
The Lord will never dismiss your prayer as too trivial to listen to. He will never turn His face away when you call out to Him. His mercy and kindness He will never hold back from a sincere, heartfelt prayer.
Psalm 66: 18-19 ” If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened; but God surely listened and heard my voice in prayer.”
When we allow our inner nature to choose, it always heads toward trouble…which leads to wickedness…which leads to emptiness…emptiness of body, mind, and spirit. Anytime we let our flesh choose which idol to worship…it’s never the Lord.
Psalm 66:17 ” I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue.”
Take a moment today to proclaim your appreciation to the Lord. Exalt and glorify the miraculous things He has done in your life. Give honor and praise to the Lord for all the things He has taken you out of. Praise the name of the Lord, for He is good…and His goodness will never fail.”
Psalm 66:16 ” Come and listen all you who fear God; let me tell you what He has done for me.”
When the Lord does something wonderful in your life… don’t keep it to yourself…share it with others. Our faith will be built up from hearing about it, and your faith will be built up even more each time you share. We all need to be testifying about God’s goodness and creative activity in our lives.
II Corinthians 1: 22 ” He anointed us, set His seal of ownership on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.”
Do you know how much God loves you? He loves you so much, that He has stamped His name on your heart… and you are now His forever and ever. No person or thing can ever take you away from Him. That Holy stamp is indelible, unchangeable, and eternal.
Zechariah 7:13 ” When I called, they did not listen; so when they called, I would not listen, says the Lord Almighty.”
Listening doesn’t go just one way. When God speaks, we need to be listening…hearing His voice, and understanding clearly His message for us…and then heeding it. We can’t choose to keep ignoring His promptings, and then assume He’ll be there when we get ourselves in trouble.
