WOW my heart is just so burdened for the youth right now.
they are so lost.
I was just praying for a bit and the Lord just lay this message on my heart:
...The reality of heaven and hell is already apparent NOW
We taste a bit of hell in all the loneliness, fear ,anxiety, depression, emptiness Those times in the secret place times when were apart from other people
That multiplied by infinitely its all that in addition to the fact that you can no longer go and take comfort in the things of the flesh.
For example, those times when you are depressed or sad so what do you do? you try to ignore or hide it in food, friends, porn, sex
In hell you can't take comfort in physical things because your physical body is consumed in fire as well.
Its like we try to put a bandaid on a gaping gash that needs stitches but even worse. We try to use temporary physial solution to try to solve an ETERNAL spiritual problem. That is why the humanism psychology, counseling is SO DECIEVING today and really, is INEFFECTIVE. As written in Colossians 2:23
Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.
How many of our youth today are just depressed or apathetic like all the time? (especially in the church)
My friend was saying how the biggest lie the devil tells the youth today is that God is boring and its so true the generation before has failed in telling their children the praiseworthy DEEDS of the Lord
We will not hide them from their children; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his power, and the wonders he has done.
Psalm 78:4
18Let this be written for a future generation,
that a people not yet created may praise the Lord:
Psalm 102
They have instituted Christianity so much
People should come to church and come face to face with the AWESOME SOUL CRUSHING TRUTH OF GOD and the beauty, glory and majesty of CHRIST with eyes of fire, hair white like wool, a sword of righteousness coming out of His mouth, a face that shines like the sun and feet like red hot bronze (that is NOT boring)....He totally pawns Cloud, Squall and Tidus..... instead of having their eyes glazed over by a watered down neatly packed and delivered a "sermon" on "how to live a better moral life without God (or with God on the SIDE and not at the centre)
Clearly that is an impossibility since only God is good and love comes from Him. (1 John and the story of the rich young ruler and Jesus)
We are so encaptivated by LIES like obssessed with the FALSE reality and fantasies of videogames, movies, television dramas and novels.
How many of us find comfort in watching T.V. instead of reading the bible?
How many of us "lose ourselves" in these things over Christ?
I remember before I was saved I used to watch anime series after anime series like I never wanted it to end because I would be so EMPTY after.
What does the bible say about these things?
How long, O men, will you turn my glory into shame? How long will you love delusions and seek false gods? Selah Psalm 4:2
also
Who may ascend the hill of the Lord?
Who may stand in his holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not lift up his soul to an idol
or swear by what is false.
Psalm 24:3-4
Key lines are lift soul up to idol and swear by what is false!
Swearing by what is false is simply believing and basing your life on a LIE whatever that maybe. (your in denial of the true reality of your life)
Brothers and Sisters
We need to seriously PRAY and intercede for them it looks like such a crazy impossibility, but God WILL turn the tide and hear us if we stay faithful in prayer.
Like even now if you don't have anything to do on Saturday mornings come to Markham Chinese Baptist Church for a prayer meeting =)
