The Broad Way and the Fruitless Tree

A. Knight

There is a passage in the Bible that has been running through my brain for several days now:  

Matthew 7:13-14  “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way.  But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.  (emphasis mine)

“The highway to hell is broad.”  It’s broad because we live in a world where we are so caught up in the next big thing. There’s a rush to get it or do it. 
Whatever the biggest influencer is influencing you to do, buy, or be, that’s the goal for many.  But that should not be what the Christ Follower is influenced by.  We should be To read the rest of the story, go here. (my prayer journal page)

Your Testing Ground

A. Knight

Have I told you my story yet?  

You’re probably like, “Angie, you have told me SO much, I’m not sure which story you are talking about! 🙂

When I heard about you and what’s going on in your life, I felt like there were some nuggets from my own story that might help you this morning (or evening-whenever you find yourself reading this).

Sometimes I find myself holding back — well, being transparent, I do hold back at times.  But this morning, I wanted to share it all.  I only like good surprises.  If I know what I’m up against, I can be better prepared to handle what’s coming.  Well, life doesn’t work like that.  Only God holds our story.  Only He knows what’s in the book.  From the day you and I were born until the day we draw our last breath–He knows ALL the stuff in between.  So trust me when I say…there is nothing He can’t handle.  And He will walk you through ALL the things you would rather be delivered out of.  Sometimes He will do it like that…and then other times, He’s like, “Hey, I’ve got some people down the road who will need to know your story–and How you trusted Me to get you to the goal…are you willing?”   Well, when You put it like that….

Adversity, SIN

Buckle Your Seat-belt–or Get out of the car now

A. Knight

I had the hardest time thinking up a title for this post.  Mostly because I’m mad.

Not at you…but at the devil who is so infiltrating everything we do–

When did we start thinking that transvestism was a “good” thing?  A thing to laugh about?

Hilarious?  Not hardly.

Harmless?

Are you kidding me?

“Oh, Sis. Angie, they are just goofing around”…you may say…

Right.  But what about those that the enemy already has a hook in their jaw about their identity?  What does this activity do for them?  It excites them I’m guessing…makes them even think, “hey, this is fun—this is okay”.

I’ve seen it splashed on facebook today–just heard about it last night–until I am SICK to my stomach.  Sorry.  I know you didn’t sign up to read this today…  GOD’S Heart is so grieved by this…

This is where it starts…and it’s not harmless.

I’m sick to death of what I see the enemy doing in the lives of those I CARE about.  I’ve witnessed it for years–All the way back to when I was a teenager–and it is painful to watch people, young and old alike–succumb to the wares the devil is selling.

Today it may have a new look.  Designed to tempt the age–but it is still the same sin–and it is still UGLY.  And it is still LIFE changing…in a bad way.

I’ve probably stepped out on a limb here and some of you may take your name off the subscription list…I may even lose my place in writing for Internet Cafe`, Laced with Grace and StreetTalk…but I cannot sit idly by and watch the generation we are trying SO DESPERATELY hard to sow seeds of LIFE into –go down the drain…never to surface again…

I cried at lunch today at the realization that we have a job to do as Christians and it is getting harder to do–because even the enemy knows time is running OUT

…and that is

LIVE IT.

TELL IT.

SHOW IT.

KNOW IT.

BE DIFFERENT?  YES!  But in the way that draws others to want THE CHRIST that YOU are living for…not “WONDER” what  is going on –who and WHAT you are or are living for….

My heart is sad and heavy.  The end is so near…

I had a dream the 23rd of September, I have shared with few close friends–and feel such an urgency to pray as never before for what GOD has for us to DO…in the last days.

Well, you know where I stand.  And my feet are in concrete.  I won’t laugh with you or at you–my face is hidden in prayer.

Missions is my heart–but even with that being said, nothing saddens me more than to see the gifts, talents and blessings that WE as a nation have, and yet we squander–waste, and selfishly live to ourselves…thinking the little things–that “everyone else” considers fun and cute is not harming anyone.

If you are a teenager reading this–realize that there are little, young, impressionable eyes watching every move you make…it won’t be cute to see them walk away from their godly upbringing into a life of sin that carries their soul straight into hell…  Will it?

Pray.  Pray.  Pray.
