Invasion - continue The Takeover

Invasion was an awesome week full of the passionate praise and worship, dynamic preaching and, fun with friends. It can be one of the most lifechanging weeks of a person's life, but only if you make it that. It is important to implemement the changes that you swore to yourself and God that you would make. Friday night if you declared war on the devil (like I know that I did) it is important that you take your woal with God seriously, because what you did was not a joke. You need to take this seriously, the Bible says in 1 Peter 5:8 "Be of sober spirit, be on the alert Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." The devil will come after you, and you need to be prepared. "How can I be prepared?" you might ask. Its simple the Bible also says in Luke 9:23, "If anyone desires to come after me (Jesus is talking here), let him deny himself and take up his cross daily, and follow me." This means that we must follow Jesus everyday. We cannot be fairweather Christians if we do not follow Jesus we are giving the devil an oportunity to come after us. I am not saying this to make you afraid, but there are only two options serve God or serve the devil. Living every day for Jesus may seem like a difficult task, but Jesus says in Matthew 11: 28-30 "Come to Me all you who labor and and are heavy laden (loaded down), and I wil give you rest. Take My yolk upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yolk is easy and and my burden is light." Jesus does not want to complicate things for you he wants to simplify it for you. Trust him, and seek him this week. Do not let the fire die in your heart this week, next week, or the week after. Invasion may be over, but your passion for Jesus does not need to be done too. Keep in the Word, take up your cross, and live your life as if Jesus was standing next to you, because in all truth Jesus is with you right now. He will not abandon you.
