The high calling

"I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:14 KJV). Let us look past all that may hinder us from receiving the prize that is found in Jesus Christ. Today there are many that follow the enemy of the cross, and they are bound by confusion and lost in the lusts of this world. The moment a person renounces their old ways and repents from their sin, that person becomes the devil's enemy. A born-again child of God is a threat to the dark kingdom, and satan is trying everything possible to bind up that child of God once again. Christianity is not easy, for we live in a world that despises the truth and rejects honesty. We live in a world today that hides from the Light. Let us look around and see the many people that are lost, bound up, and tied up to the things of this world. The devil is upset, and he is keeping many from walking in the fullness of victory in Jesus Christ. Just as satan slithered into the garden thousands of years ago and captured the desires of Eve, he is doing the same thing today with many that sit in their pews every Sunday. We live in some beautiful and powerful times. The enemy of our soul is upset, and we as believers in Christ Jesus must stand up for the Truth we believe in. The saints of old got a hold of Christ through faith and never took their eyes off of him. Don't let the world grab your attention or take your eyes off Jesus Christ. Our enemy is like a lion in the tall grass waiting to see who he may devour. The minute the believer opens up the door, the gate to this darkness, they will be in bondage. Give God praise today. God bless you. Amen
