The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower. Deuteronomy 28.43

When a Christian disobeys the statutes, not keeping them, and gives himself to the enemy, even without knowing it, he becomes a great shame and dishonor. Regarding this, the Word instructs us: Make me walk in the path of Your commandments, for I delight in it (Psalm 119.35). The psalmist understood that it was not enough to keep every commandment, it was also necessary to walk in the Truth that is in them. And Jesus said that the Truth sets free!

Those who do not serve the Lord as the Bible instructs can expect a descent from their position of sovereignty to one where there is a lack of good things. Walking away from the Truth, you only encounter trouble, bad people, and ultimately begin to do harm to yourself. Why turn away from the path that will take you to a higher level? Come back to Christ to enjoy the authenticity of the commandment!

If the saved do not open their eyes to their error, they will blame God, saying that they are not cared for by Him. Many justify their own suffering using this argument. Now, this kind of thinking proves who and what dwells in this person’s heart. Our body is the temple of the Lord, so only allow Him to take control of your life. Jesus loves you so perfectly that you will never miss anything. Walk with Him!

There is little point in reciting verses that speak of God’s promises if you don’t want to live as the Word prescribes. Outside of heavenly action there is no peace or happiness. If faith in Christ dominates you, your existence here on Earth will be the beginning of eternal happiness. Whoever prefers to be ruled by the passion of the flesh will eternally regret it. Whoever has Christ has everything!

Notice that many people from the furthest parts of the world and with all kinds of suffering have prospered in a short time. As you watch them turn around, you complain that you don’t understand the Lord’s actions. Go back to being led by God’s precepts; then you will be blessed. The Father will lift you to a level of victory that will surprise you day by day. Believe in Him!

While the newcomers grow bigger and bigger, many fail to walk above the waves – a God-given position – for a quick and unhappy descent to the lowest rungs of human degradation. Get rid of sin, for it destroys your dreams and your chances of being an overcomer. Why continue to deny what you know to be the solution to your problems now and forever? Make the right decision and live well!

The Almighty said that this would happen to Israel, and indeed it did happen several times, just as it was said. Today, it is not only the nation that suffers, but also those who turn away from the Most High. These people go from being lords of the land to being employees of those who came to try their luck. The destiny of those who fail to do the divine will is shame. Turn to God now! 

In Christ, with love,
