Are you a little too spiritually comfortable?

Hi Friends,

Allow me to encourage you for a couple minutes with some quick tips related to seeing and "being" Revival on a daily basis as a disciple of Jesus.

Consider your relationship with the Lord. Are you comfortable where you're at? I want you to think about that and meditate on that for a couple minutes... 

If your answer is "Yes" I would like to challenge you to a deeper level of revival living. There's a big difference between knowing that you're saved (eternal assurance) vs. being comfortable with your walk. A Revivalist is never comfortable with their walk with the Lord. Although they have peace and joy within, through relationship with the Holy Spirit they inevitably will continue to feel challenged to go deeper in revelation and understanding of the things of Christ thus creating in ourselves a discomfort in knowing we have yet to "make it" so-to-speak. Furthermore, the more time we spend with The Holy One the more our less holy characteristics are so thoroughly exposed. The process of holiness and sanctification is not a comfortable one at all. I pray you would defy comfortable Christianity and pursue holiness and purity like never before. 

If you question how to do this practically, here are two tips. 1. Worship Jesus more. As He is Glorified His Holiness is magnified. As His holiness is magnified we realize how privileged to be in His presence with even the opportunity to worship His Greatness. His grace is made all the more aware as well as our dirty rags of self righteousness. 2. Stop comparing yourself to others and compare yourself to Jesus. When we compare ourselves to others we can easily fall into a false sense of comfort in our relationship with the Lord. It's easy to say in our hearts that I am better than so-and-so at this or that or even to subconsciously judge others and thus think more highly of ourselves than we ought. Simply focus on Jesus, the sinless, holy, spotless Lamb, worthy to be praised, and keep your eyes off of the world and others. 

The above is a healthy reminder that we have a long way to go. It may also keep us from subtle judgmental holier-than-thou attitudes toward our brothers and sisters and the world. True holiness and relationship with the Lord will lead you to work on the log in your own eye far more than pointing out the spec of dust in your brother's. 

Be blessed!

Earn up to $3500/month just by taking simple surveys online!

I tried one of those online survey sites about 4 months ago that
say all you have to do is spend a couple of minutes filling out
some surveys and you will be making hundreds a day..... YEAH RIGHT, I didn't make anything.

I joined 7 of these stupid websites and I actually tried filling
out a couple of surveys on each site and they took forever then at
the end they wanted me to buy things or I couldn't complete the
survey.

These are complete scams so be aware!!! I couldn't believe they
were even allowed to sell such bogus products.

Then about 2 weeks ago I was watching the news and they had some
vice presidents and marketing managers of some major multi million
dollar companies talking about a site that they personally work
with to pay consumers for their opinion, A site that actually just
wants the "average Joe's" honest opinion on products and services
and is willing to pay big money to get them. for more information
