Serenade of Screams

Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 10:32-35 

When it all comes to a head, will you deny or confirm? At the smallest persecution do you hold fast to your King, or do you turn your back on Him? How do we confess? Not just with our mouths, but with our lifestyles. We can talk about the people we are until we are blue in the face, but if our actions speak the opposite then who are we really? "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."

 Matthew 7:13-14

There is no more time for us to follow the ways of this world. The cost of letting another day pass in defeat is too costly. We must hold fast to our lives that were claimed in victory and given us by our King Jesus Christ. We must allow His word to take root within us and become a deep seeded tree that springs up. Out of our mouth and throughout our actions, we must allow the Holy Spirit to pervade all of it. What is this life  that we should long for anything of it? It is but a passing moment, then eternity. We seek our dead flesh that drags us unto death, when we literally have life within and eternal reward waiting. A life filled with the Joy of Christ. Take hold of that victory today, take hold of our King and His ways. He is worth far more than anything passing in this dead flesh.
