Christians Will Amount to Nothing in the World What a wonderful day it is to belong to Jesus Christ and not to the world.  It is truly a blessing to have Jesus as our KING and as our LORD because HE LOVES US.  And He leads us and guides us as His children.  Some of us have gotten the accusation from satan before or one of those agents of satan, how we will never amount to anything in the world, if we follow Jesus you won’t ever be anything.  And the truth is WE WILL NEVER BE ANYTHING IN THE WORLD BECAUSE JESUS HAS CALLED US OUT OF THE WORLD.  And that is such a blessing to not have to compete with the world to be something.  I want to read to you what Jesus said in John chapter 15, I’m starting in verse 18; “If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you.  if you were of the world the world would love its own, yet because you are not of the world but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.  Remember the word that I said to you, a servant is not greater than his master.  If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you.  If they kept My world, they will keep yours also.  But all these things they will do to you for My namesake because they do not know HIM who sent Me.  If I had not come and spoken to them they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates Me hates my Father also...”  If we really have the love of Jesus in us, and if we have been called OUT of the world, we don’t belong to the word, we don’t “fit in” anymore.  And you might start to realize that in your workplace or with your old friends or with the people that used to be close to you, that you no longer get along with them, NOT because you don’t love them, not because you want to be rude, but because your life is going a completely different direction.  With Jesus, because we are called out of the world, we are hated by the word.   The world hated Jesus Christ.  If they loved Jesus, they will love us, but if they hated Jesus they will also hate us.  So, I want to encourage you as brothers and sisters in the Lord, DON’T STRIVE TO BE LOVED BY THE WORD.  Don’t strive to be accepted in your workplace or at your school.  Be separate so that you can be connected to Jesus Christ.  Disconnect from the world, disconnect from everything that is evil and sinful and separate yourself from people who are worldly.  Touch NOTHING that is unclean and Jesus will accept you as His son or as His daughter. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4EPUPYw62E

Talk to God Hear Back and DO What He tells You If you are a Christian and you actually value a relationship with God, you should be talking to Him, you should be praying to God, but not only that you should be hearing back from Him. It’s pretty common for some Christians to pray, but it’s not common for them to hear back from God. And a lot of people who are in church think that only the pastor hears from God, but the truth is, every single one of God’s children, He loves and He wants a relationship with. That is why Jesus said that He will manifest to those that love Him, that means He will make Himself known to those that love Him. If 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 it says to pray continually. I used to wonder what that meant, because what my life as a Christian looked like in church was occasionally praying when I NEEDED God, but then when things were going well I would forget to pray for weeks and months. I would remember God, I would pray a little bit, and I’d go; “Oh, there you are God… Let’s start our relationship again…” And then I would just use God kind of as a genie, or as someone when I needed help, but as soon as things were going good for me again I would completely forget about Him. That is not praying continually. If we are praying continually that means every morning we are devoting our life to God, we are saying; “Lord, make me a vessel of honor for your purpose today that I may live fully for you.” You put on the full armor of God, the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith, the sword of the Spirit, the belt of truth and the feet with those boots ready to bring the gospel of peace to anyone who will ask. Make sure that you are not only praying, but you are listening, hearing the Lord and obeying whatever your Master tells you to do. If Jesus truly is your master and if you truly love Him you WILL be hearing Him and you WILL OBEY HIM. The gift of the Holy Spirit is for YOU and for anyone who will believe the gospel and obey Jesus Christ. So, don’t believe that lie that you don’t really need to pray, that you won’t hear back from God, that you don’t need to obey Him. If you want a relationship with your creator it starts through prayer, through hearing Him and then obeying Him. When you pray, don’t listen with your physical ears, because the devil can speak in your physical ears. You need to listen for the Holy Spirit to speak to you in the bottom of your soul. The Holy Spirit bypasses our physical ears to speak to us in the bottom of our soul! Listen to your conscience. Do what you know is right from the bottom of your heart. Start obeying what you know is good, the things that come from the Spirit of God, and reject every single thing that you know is evil. If evil thoughts come your way rebuke them. We have the power to cast out demons in the name of Jesus. There is power in the name of JESUS. But we have to do what is RIGHT continually! Hold on to your faith, pray without ceasing and OBEY whatever Jesus Christ calls you to do. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5ivAB6pRIg
