God Always Gives Us a Way Out

There have been times when I have found myself in situations, and in those desperate moments, I did what my flesh desired. So I have learned to take time to think about all my actions before I actually make decisions.

We should choose to take the way out that God gives us, because when we choose our own desires, the desires of our flesh, we sin and we often suffer for it.

Nathan replied, “The Lord has taken away your sin. You are not going to die. But because by doing this you have made the enemies of the Lord show utter contempt, the sun born to you will die” (2 Samuel 12; 13-14).

"God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength but with your testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it" (1 Corinthians 10:13).

END TIME PROPHECIES

Matthew 24 and other scriptures about end time prophecies are being fulfilled right in front of our very eyes. Nations are rising against nations; famine is evident and can be seen in the global food crisis as millions face food shortage; the signs of pestilences are obvious in the different diseases attacking mankind; there are insurmountable natural disasters as seen in the earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, tornados, wild fires and so forth.

People are dying daily and while we cannot stop them from dying, we can share the hope we have with them. Instead, many of us remain silent. Are you going to sit back and do nothing to make your heart right with God, or to help your brothers and sisters to get their hearts right and have a relationship with their heavenly Father?

We either have the truth or we don’t and if we believe e have the truth, why are we keeping it a secret? Are you afraid that you may lose your life or your social status if you take a stand? Many will suffer and die, but that is to be expected when you are a Soldier for Christ. Many of the reformers lost their lives, but those losses were not in vain, as they paved the way for the religious freedom we enjoy today. We have to have the mindset that Jesus had when He said:

Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell (Matthew 10:28).
Also David said:
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about (Psalm 3:6). See also Psalm 32:4, Isaiah 41:10.
These verses are comforting reminders to us that if we are killed while on the battlefield for our Lord, it is worth it because we belong to Christ and death for us is a part of the journey to inheriting His eternal Kingdom. Therefore we should not be afraid.

Frankly, if you have not accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior, I am personally inviting you to do so today. No more excuses. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. If you have family members, friends or acquaintances who are not saved, please invite them to come to Christ. To aid them in this important decision, give them the book, COME TO JESUS AND BE SET FREE.
