Psalm 36: 1-2 ” An oracle is within my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes. For in his own eyes he flatters himself too much to detect or hate his sin.”

The wicked willfully rebel and oppose the Lord.  There is no reverence or even acknowledgment  of God in their life.  In their eyes, they are a self-made person that needs no other one or thing  to make it.  In their mind, whatever devious methods it takes to make it to the  top, or whoever they must crush in the process,  is fair game.  Winning is everything in their life…but in the end, sadly  they will  lose.

Isaiah 59: 1-2 ” Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden His face from you so that He will not hear.”

Sin separates us from God…for God can not look upon it.  It’s not that the Lord can’t help, it’s because He won’t.  For in John 9:31 it says, ” We know that God does not listen to sinners.  He listens to the godly man who does His will.”

Colossians 3:2 ” Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”

Where is your devotion directed towards?   Who are you mindful of?  If it’s fallen man and this sinful world, you’ll never be satisfied or happy – for the temporary fixes of this world will never fill that God-shaped hole in your being.  For only our Lord can fill that gaping hole with His peace, love, and forgiveness.  Set your mind and eyes…on Jesus.

 

 

 

 

Isaiah 40:3 “A voice of one calling in the desert prepare the way for the Lord…”

Modern-day prophets have a two-fold mission to the world. The first is to prepare the people in these the last days. They are God’s voice in the wilderness of this sinful world – calling out to our generation…speaking forth the Lord’s message to get ready…to set one’s house and life in order, for the time is short. Secondly, they are God’s messenger, encouraging all Believers to be resolved in their worship of God alone…staying the course…resisting evil, and focusing on Him only.
