Jesus said that He would rather people were hot or cold than lukewarm. It seems strange that He want us to have none of Him than just a little. The problem with being lukewarm is that you have seen a fiery God and come away unchanged. Prayerlessness, unaffected by the Word and disobedience are a few signs of being lukewarm. There is still good news. Jesus holds nothing back to bring you back to his full plan. A door is open to you for a life on fire for God.

When we got saved Jesus took up residency in our heart and the very work that He was doing on earth came to us. He planted His heart and life in us and called us to join Him with His work on earth. A child of the day has a cry in their heart that says, “Jesus come and put a deposit of your love and life in me so I can reach out to the poor and needy.” In the last days the Bible says iniquity will abound and our love for one another will grow cold.

[1 Peter 5:5-11] In today's society, pride and ambition are portrayed as positive traits. This is contradictory to what is taught in Scripture. We are to cover ourselves with humility. In order to walk in humility, we need to develop a trust in God. This comes only through a clear revelation of who God is. God cares about all your situations and can bring the best resolution. This trust brings the ability to act in humility with one another.

1 Peter 4 speaks of judgement in the house of God. This is not the wrath of God, but a deep purifying work in our hearts. He wants no compromise in His church. We must actively battle our flesh or it will be victorious in our lives. Inversely, we are called to be holy, self-controlled and sober-minded, but most of all filled with love for others.

What would be the outcome if we would simply choose to obey God? At some point we have to realize that the same God who created the universe lives inside of us and will enable us to accomplish all that He's called us to do. There comes a time when God doesn't have to speak anymore because you already know what He wants you to do. God says put away the old man and put away the old nature. He is seeking for a man after His own heart who would simply walk in obedience with Him. Are you embracing something that God has clearly told you to put away?

When God wants to move or call His people to take a step of faith, skeptics will speak up — whether a person in your life, the enemy himself, or your own inner skeptic. The skeptic has arguments like, it’s easier to stay where you are; this takes too much effort; you’re going to offend someone; it’s impossible; now isn’t the right time; it’s too risky; you might fail; or they paint a negative picture of the outcome. No matter what the skeptic says, know that Christ has already given us all the resources and authority we need to fulfill God’s calling on our life.

This message is for those who are on a search for peace and hope but you are experiencing emptiness and guilt because of the sin in your life. Maybe you are trying to figure out a way to “get to” God and pay Him back for all the sins you committed. The good news is that Jesus is the Lamb of God; the perfect sacrifice for all mankind. If you simply come to Jesus and believe His Word you will be forgiven. There is a cry in the heart of God to draw His people into His love and peace. All you need is found in Jesus the Lamb of God!
