For The Person Who's Struggling Its Time To Turn To God | A Blessed Morning Prayer To Uplift You

for the person who is tempted for the person who is struggling between doing the right thing and the wrong thing you are battling sinful desires I want to give you a message which I pray will encourage you to continue fighting to do good continue fighting to do what's right before the Lord I want to talk to you about Noah we all know this story about the great flood that wiped out the Earth we all know about the ark we all know about the animals being paired up and it really makes a great bedtime story for

the kids but on a more serious matter the story of Noah brings to light some clues some warnings about the last days Matthew 24: 36-37 reads but concerning that day and hour no one knows not even the angels of Heaven nor the son but the father only for as were the days of Noah so will be the coming of the son of man Jesus when speaking about his return said as were the days of Noah so will be the coming of the son of man so how do we interpret what Jesus is saying here how

do we make it relevant in this day and age that we live in well Noah was a righteous man he was a righteous man living in a time when the world was filled with sin Society had become perverse and wicked people preferred to do things their own way and evil was rampant in the hearts of many let me stop there and ask a few questions about this current day and age that we live in are we living in a time where the world is filled with sin has Society become perverse and wicked do people prefer

to do things their own way and is there evil in this world today as I continue I want you to apply what the days of Noah were like and compare them to today now before the flood and while Noah was building the ark he spent years and years and years preaching to the people and no one responded people ignored the warnings that God's judgment is coming people ignored the cause to repent now let me ask you how many people can access the gospel today but choose not to how many people hear the gospel today but

choose to ignore it I am sure that when Noah preached and after some time when people didn't see the flood coming I believe he would have been mocked by some and persecuted even and in this day and age as we speak about the end times as we speak about this being the 11th hour and how close we are to the return of Christ the Bible States in 2 Peter 3:3 knowing this first of all that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing following their own sinful desires we're told that for those of us

who wait on the return of Christ we will have to face people who will scoff and mock us now for more detail about what the days of Noah were like we have to read Genesis 6 verse 5 to8 which says the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually and the Lord regretted that he had made man on the earth and it grieved him to his heart so the Lord said I will blot out man whom I have

created from the face of the land man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens for I am sorry that I have made them but Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord from this we can understand that the Earth was a long way away from looking like the Garden of Eden the Bible gives us a picture that it was more like hell on Earth because wickedness had taken over there were no Godly morals no Godly standards being upheld all the Norms had been replaced by Evil all the laws of God had

been put aside and replaced by the lawlessness of man it was a world in which all that was once taboo was now practiced openly all the institutions of God had collapsed and all of society was coming unraveled now in this day and age I'll ask you once again if you look around look all throughout Society look at the mainstream media look at some of the actions we're witnessing all around the world look at some of the laws that are being passed are Godly morals being upheld are Godly standards being upheld Hebrews 11:7 says by faith

Noah being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen in reverent fear constructed an arc for the saving of his household by this he condemned the world and became an he of the righteousness that comes by faith in this day Noah had to build an ark in order to be saved but today God has provided us an Ark of Safety and his name is Jesus Christ God has provided us with a way to be saved from Eternal damnation his name is Jesus Christ the question that you and I are to answer today is are you

ready and willing to accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior he is the way the truth and the life he is the one who will save us from the coming Judgment of God on this world and so I encourage you to be always in right standing with God because the Bible tells us that when Christ comes it will be sudden and unexpected two people will be working in the field the one that has accepted Christ as his or her savior will be taken the other one will be left behind two people will be grinding

at the Mill the one who has accepted Christ will be taken and the other left behind in Luke 17: 27 the Bible says people were eating drinking marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the Ark then the flood came and destroyed them all the people of Noah's time were living lives of ignorant Bliss without any concern or fear that their sins would bring down on them the Judgment of God and so if you can hear me right now you still have time to get ready you still have time to make

sure your life is is in order so get ready be ready and stay ready live for Jesus Christ do not be caught up by all this world has to offer live for Jesus Christ repent and live right before God now let us pray dear Lord Jesus purify Our Lives help us to live lives that are strengthen by the Holy Spirit father I pray that you would change our affections so that they would only be for you may you be our heart's only desire may you be the one we seek fervently may your word be the

only thing we hunger and thirst for help us to cling to what is good and help us to hate what is evil evil in your sight dear Lord help us to live our lives with the mind of Christ may we live lives with an eternal perspective knowing that one day we will stand before your throne Master thank you amen now I would like to give you a few scriptures to meditate on 1 chronicles 16 verse 11 search for the Lord and for his strength continually seek Him 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people who are called

by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their Wicked Ways then I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land Psalm 9: 9-10 the Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed a refuge in times of trouble and those who know your name will put their trust in you for you Lord have not forsaken those who seek you Psalm 27: 6 to1 and now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies All Around Me therefore I will offer sacrifices of

joy in his Tabernacle I will sing yes I will sing praises to the Lord here oh Lord when I cry with my voice have mercy also upon me and answer me when you said seek my fa face my heart said to you your face Lord I will seek do not hide your face from me do not turn your servant away in Anger you have been my help do not leave me nor forsake me oh god of my salvation when my father and my mother forsake me then the Lord will take care of me Teach Me

your way oh Lord and Lead Me in a smooth path because of my enemies
