THE QUESTION IS HOW TO STAY SAVE IN UNSAVED WORLD

[PASTOR JEROME BENTON]

WHEN EVERYTHING IS FIGHTING FOR YOUR MIND.YOUR FLESH SCREAMING FROM THE ROOF TO BE SATISFIED.IF THE LUST OF THE EYE DOESN'T DISTRACT YOU FOR SUCCESS OR RICHES OF THIS WORLD. MAYBE THE LUST OF THE FLESH FOR THE MATE THAT YOU JUST COULD WAIT FOR. AND IF THAT DOESN'T DO IT MAYBE PRIDE OF LIFE TO ADMIT THAT YOU HAVE FLAWS AND NEED HELP. BUT IS IT POSSIBLE IN WORLD FILLED WITH SCANDAL FOR THE CHURCH TO LIVE UN SPOTTED BEFORE THE WORLD.WE KNOW THAT THIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT BUT HOW DO WE WALK IN VICTORY, WHEN IT SEEMS MANY CHOOSE TO BE SATISFIED IN DEFEAT.I RECOMMEND A JESUS ENCOUNTER LAY ASIDE EVERY WEIGHT THAT EASILY BESETS YOU.

[Apostle Helen Kennedy]

God bless you, Pastor Benton, and thank God for your VICTORY in the recovery of all that is in JESUS' Name!

James 1:27 says: "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their afflication, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." Is this a challenge? Yes. Is it possible to keep ONE'S OWN SELF? Yes. Through the process of sanctification. Jesus prayed that the Father would keep us from the evil, and that He would sanctify us through the Word of Truth. (John 17). I believe, Brother, that the problem for us that would struggle with living Holy, is not meditating on the Word - day and night! When the temptations of this world are presented to us, if we don't perform the Word, by doing (casting down imaginations and any high thing that would exalt itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ) what the Word says - we abort the Victory that has already been obtained for us. Because we are in this world, AND in these fleshly bodies, we will fight; but our fight should be the fight of faith, because we are not ignorant to the devices of the enemy. (Ask me how I know?) Brother, I'm laying it all down - FOR HIS GLORY! HALLELUJAH!!!
