Apostolics, we must remind ourselves: 

 ⁃ THERE IS NO STATUS QUO IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD!

 ⁃ YOUR ACTS 2:38 EXPERIENCE WAS YOUR SPIRITUAL BIRTH INTO HIS KINGDOM, NOT YOUR DIPLOMA! THAT MEANS YOU SIMPLY TOOK AN EXIT OFF THE HIGHWAY TO HELL, AND GOT ONTO THE HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN! ISAIAH CAUGHT A GLIMPSE OF THAT HIGHWAY, AND CALLED IT THE HIGHWAY OF HOLINESS!!! (IT STILL TAKES HOLINESS AND SEPARATION FROM THIS WORLD!) 

 ⁃ THE TRUE CHURCH IS ON THE MOVE, SO QUIT SITTING STILL WAITING FOR GOD TO PUT A CALLING ON YOUR LIFE, HE ALREADY DID WHEN HE CALLED YOU OUT OF SIN! IT’S CALLED BEING A SOUL WINNER! GET BUSY…NOW!!!

 ⁃ TRUE DISCIPLESHIP WILL COST YOU SOMETHING: YOU MAY NEED TO CHECK YOUR CROSS IF YOU NEVER FEEL ANY WEIGHT! 

 ⁃ BEING A CHRISTIAN IS NOT ABOUT BEING “COOL!” THAT DRIVES A MENTALITY THAT LIVING FOR GOD WILL ALWAYS BE EASY: WRONG!! PAUL NEVER SAID LIVING FOR GOD WAS COOL, BUT HE DID REFER TO IT AS BEING A SOLDIER!! BEING OUT ON THE BATTLE FIELD DOESN’T SEEM SO COOL, SO YOU BETTER CHECK YOUR MOTIVE WHEN LIVING FOR GOD, AND MAKE SURE YOUR’E SOLD OUT LOCK, STOCK AND BARREL! 

 ⁃ IT’S VITAL WE GROW IN THE GRACE AND KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS CHRIST! WE MUST GROW FROM A LAMB INTO HIS SHEEP! SHEEP KNOW HIS VOICE AND A STRANGER THEY WILL NOT FOLLOW! STAYING IN A LAMB MENTALITY MEANS YOU RELY ON TOUCH, AND CONSTANT GUIDANCE FROM THE STAFF OF THE SHEPHERD! IN ESSENCE, YOUR LEVEL OF WORSHIP AND PRAISE ALWAYS HINGES ON THE “TOUCH OF THE MASTER!” THIS CREATES EMOTIONALISM, THEREFORE YOUR WALK WITH GOD WILL ALWAYS REMAIN A ROLLER COASTER! THERE ARE TIMES WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF IN THE VALLEY, AND THE TOUCH OF THE SHEPHERD FEELS OUT OF REACH, BUT IF YOU GROW INTO A SHEEP, YOU MAY NOT FEEL HIM, but YOU WILL BE ABLE TO HEAR HIS VOICE BECKONING FOR YOU TO COME TO HIM! GROW SAINT OF GOD GROW!!! THAT’S THE SPIRITUAL PERFECTION WE NEED TO GET TO! 

 ⁃ IT’S TIME WE TRULY LOOK FOR THE SOON COMING OF THE LORD! 

 ⁃ GET OFF THE FENCE!

 ⁃ WAKE UP FROM YOUR SLUMBER!

 ⁃ LISTEN TO WHAT THE SPIRIT IS SAYING TO THE CHURCH: GET READY I AM COMING SOON FOR MY BRIDE THAT HAS MADE HERSELF READY, AND STAYED READY! IT’S NOW HOW WE START THIS RACE, SAINTS OF GOD, IT’S HOW WE FINISH!! 

God Bless, JDS
