Islam IS NOT the religion of Peace!! **Warning some tough stuff discussed here**

Our nation is being DUPED!

Islam is being labeled as peaceful..

But there is a lot of evidence that this just isn't so..


So Just out of curiosity..
If that image above is true.. Are you and your loved ones legitimately in danger? Well not here in America.. Not yet.. But what if those things protecting you.. Were changed?

Lets see what has happened around the world.. WHEN Islam takes over..

Murders


Stoning


Acid thrown into the faces of women.. Almost exclusively a crime against women


Beatings especially of women


Public Canings


Honor Killings


You might be thinking I am just showing you a few horrific minority cases...To be honest.. I wish I was..


The picture below is in NORWAY! In the first Sharia section of their nation..










AND NOW THE WORST PART..

I fear it is coming here!!

Are you CONTENT??

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.  Hebrews 13:5



I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life
Ecclesiastes 3:12



Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
Philippians 4:11



A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
Psalms 37:16

Are you a Christian who is FAITHFUL in the good times and the Bad??

If God took away all the things we as modern day Christians
tend to expect as normal blessings..


What if we no longer lived in a nation who lived for GOD?
What if we lived in a nation that persecuted Christians? (Iraq?)

Do you truly believe that You would still live for Jesus Christ?

I guess I am wondering this morning how much do we REALLY love Jesus?

• So often we can't speak up for him to simply tell our testimony to family member and people we talk to on a daily basis.. How can we do that in times of real trials if we can't do it now in times of safety and security?
  
   
• For most of us there is no one we know who is going to die for the name of Jesus.. Unless possibly a missionary who passed through our church at some point.. And even then.. HOW OFTEN DO WE PRAY FOR THEM.. And I don't just mean a passing mention of them as you race through a list of names.. God bless x, God bless y, God bless z.. Type prayers..
   
•   Do you understand that even the if we are speaking about Missionaries to a relatively safe place ... Lets give an example Like Albania.. It's a European nation.. Not much chance of them being murdered in their sleep for the name of Christ.. But what about the fact that in a 24 hour time frame they have access to only 5-6 hours of hot water in any given day.. Try being away from home during the first 2 hours of your hot water allotment and having to try to decide between baths for all your children and laundry or house cleaning like mopping your floor etc. Shoot half the Christians I know have a canary if they can't get their Starbucks/Tim Horton's in less than 5 minutes through the drive through.. Or if they have to wait in line too long.. Or if they legitimately got a ticket for driving to fast.. Yet here we expect others to do the mission of bringing people to Christ when we are so easily irritated over minor trivialities in our society.
  
  For more information of some of these Christians that we need to be praying for..
  
  And fear not. I am not pointing the finger at you.. I am standing here in the need of God to change my heart too!
  
  I don't know.. I guess I am here this morning to urge you to look around and see the apathy and lack of real zeal in our nation.. And I implore you to Ratchet up the fire!
  
  
  If not by going anywhere.. The very least we can do is get a REAL prayer life!

Are YOU REALL on fire for the Lord?

Would you consider yourself REALLY on fire for the Lord?

Or can you look back and see where you once were and now have gotten to busy or complacent in your walk? This isn't one of those .. off the cuff answers . give it some thought .. you don't have to even answer but ladies we need to ask ourselves and face what God shows us.. and then decide what we are going to do about it.

It is called 'delighting' in the Lord. It means that you enjoy studying His Word, you WANT to do what His word says and you enjoy spending time with the Lord through prayer. Some people get 'on fire for the Lord' This usually occurs in a brand new christian when they first accept Christ and they are 'over' exuberant. They go around talking about God every single minute.



This is why God had problems with one of the 7 churches in Revelations..

Revelation 2:4

⁴ Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.


SO my question to you today.. Have you left your first love??

And if so.. How do you get "HOT" again?

"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise." 
(Psalm 51:17)


Concentrate upon the sacrifice Christ made for us. Then think about how much love and care it would take to be willing to undergo and endure such things as Christ did.

Then I would suggest that you also think about the love and care God has for us, to allow us to do what was done to his son and to also allow us to be the ways we are to one another. Lastly, think about how wise God is.



Consider the wisdom in what he tells us to do and not do. Look around and see the consequences of our not following Gods word. If you do these things, you will find that you become more and more impressed with God and your want to worship him pleasingly will increase.
