THEN THE PEOPLE ANSWERED,''FAR BE IT FROM US TO FORSAKE THE LORD TO SERVE DARKNESS/UNBELIEF. IT WAS THE LORD OUR GOD WHO BROUGHT US OUT OF CAPTIVITY AND SLAVERY. WE WILL SERVE THE LORD, BECAUSE HE IS OUR GOD. =-=JOSHUA SAID TO THE PEOPLE, YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO SERVE THE LORD. HE IS A HOLY GOD; HE IS A JEALOUS GOD. HE WILL NOT FORGIVE YOUR REBELLION CAUSED BY YOUR UNBELIEF. HE WILL NOT DELIVER YOU FROM EVIL. IF YOU FORSAKE THE LORD AND SERVE DARKNESS, HE WILL TURN AND BRING DISASTER ON YOU AND MAKE AN END OF YOU, AFTER HE HAS BEEN GOOD TO YOU,'' BUT THE PEOPLE SAID ,''NO! WE WILL SERVE THE LORD.'' JOSHUA ANSWERED , ''YOU ARE WITNESSES AGAINST YOURSELVES THAT YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO SERVE THE LORD.'';-JOSHUA(24:16-22) =-==-=EDITED BY ME=-=-= ONCE THE TRUTH HAS BEEN SET BEFORE YOU TO BELIEVE ON GOD IT IS YOUR FREEWILL OF CHOICE THAT DECLARES LIFE OR DEATH. THE LORD DESERVES MORE THAN WE COULD EVER GIVE. ALL HE ASKS IS FOR YOU TO BELIEVE. WHAT I AM ABOUT TO TELL YOU IS TRUE. GOD IS HOLY AND DARKNESS CAN NOT ABIDE WITH HIM. IF YOU THEN AGAIN FALL BACK INTO THE WORLD, FEARING ALWAYS, DOUBTING CONSTANTLY, NEVER FAITHFULLY GIVING TRUST ON HIM WHO LOVINGLY INVITED YOU INTO HIS KINGDOM. THOSE WHO ARE HIS UNDERSTAND AND OBEY. FOR THE REBEL WHO TURNS TO THE father OF LIES HE WILL CAST OUT FOR YOU ARE ABIDING TO THE WAY OF THE WICKED ONE. FAITH IS TRUST, YOU WHO THEN CALL YOURSELF FAITHFUL WHY DO YOU LET THIS WORLD TROUBLE YOUR SOUL UNTO DEATH. COME OUT OF HER; FOR YOU ARE NOT OF THIS PLACE.. GOD WILL GRANT YOU WHAT YOUR MIND BODY AND SOUL ARE PUT TO BELIEVE.=-WORDS TO THE SPIRIT=-IN LOVE IN CHRIST MY BRETHREN I WRITE, AMEN AND GLORY TO THE FATHER OF LIGHTS.
TRUST IN GOD WHO HAS HANDED YOU VICTORY. BEHOLD, YOU WHO HAVE RECEIVED MANY WOUNDS; NEVERTHELESS YOU STAND FAST IN THAT LIBERTY WHEREWITH GOD HAS MADE YOU FREE; AND ARE STRICT TO REMEMBER THE LORD DAY TO DAY, SURELY YOU NEED NOT WORRY FOR YOU ARE CONTINUALLY IN HIS PRESENCE; AND HAS LEFT THE BLESSING WHEREWITH NO OTHER POWER CAN WORK AGAINST YOU.. AND THIS BECAUSE OF YOUR EXCEEDING FAITH, AND PATIENCE IN TRIBULATION. IN LOVE IN CHRIST, AMEN
