As Mordecai gained favor from the king and was advanced in his position and authority to fulfill a call, as we draw closer to Jesus, our King, we also are called and He wants to advance us into His purpose in these last days!
Wisdom From Above
Jam 3:13-18: "Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show out of a good life his works with meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, boast not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descends not from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by them that make peace."
There is so much anger, confusion, chaos, self centerdness in the world today. This is just one of the signs of the days we are living in, among so many! Not to mention how things have unraveled so fast! Wisdom has been thrown out with perverted and sinful thinking! What was considered good is now evil and what was bad has been embraced by so many!
The Bible speaks of these things taking place in the last days, but the church is still here, and Jesus hasn't come for His bride yet, and we are to be about the Father's business as He was. So, we are to express truth in our everyday walk with God, and this means having a real connection with Him, with Jesus and the Holy Spirit! What wisdom is coming out of us? We measure it, evaluate it through His word. Is it alive in is, are we given over to it? Are we allowing the Holy Spirit to impart the wisdom that comes from above?
The world right now is engulfed is demonic activity, darkness is abounding, its truly evident, and you and I as Believers should be able tobdiscern it rightfully. Let's dive into Christ, into the word of God, and allow the Holy Spirit to make it alive in us so we can be the example of it in the darkness!!!

Crown Of Life!
Jam 1:12: "Blessed is the man that endures trial: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to them that love him."

The Day Of The Lord!
The days are evil, wicked men driven to do wicked works! They defy the God of Heaven and blaspheme the holy name of Jesus!!! The heavens rumble, and the earth shakes! The day of the Lord is at hand!!!
The righteous work and try to be expressive of hope and love, and stand on truth! They go out to save, and few receive. The enemy of our souls has come out, he has made himself seen, and men do not discern him! They are blind and their hearts are corrupt. Living in sensual, lustful desires, they rampage against God's creation! They are angry and do not listen to the truth. They adhere and embrace lies that satisfies their filthy flesh! And because the god of this world is sly in deception, they are blind and cannot see!
But God is still reaching out, He is calling many to come to Him so that they would not parish in hell! He loves them, He sent what was necessary to save, His Son Jesus Christ! He carried their sin and shame to His cross! He made way for healing and liberation from destruction! He said, "Come, I will be your God and your Father" His heart for His creation grieves as they fall away! As they believe a lie! He still reaches out until the appointed time!
The Day Of The Lord is at hand, be ready, get prepared! Are you? Do you love Jesus? Do You want His will! Are you anticipating His return for those who love Him?
Ps 139:23-24: "Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts, and see if [any] wicked way [is] in me; and lead me in the way everlasting."

Dying To Self!
Mat 16:25-28: "For whoever desires to save his life shall lose it, and whoever desires to lose his life for My sake shall find it. For what is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of man shall come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He shall reward each one according to his works. Truly I say to you, There are some standing here who shall not taste of death until they see the Son of man coming in His kingdom."
In the natural losing ones life is the end of our story. But as Jesus teaches, losing your life for His sake is gaining life in a more abundant way! Theres so much to consider! There is so much to learn. Dying to ones old way of life and coming alive to the way of Christ takes a lifetime to learn.
As we are living in the last days, things arise that have been foretold thousands of years ago. Life gets tougher and deception becomes more and more prevelant. Also temptations are more powerful to cause one to fall away. But if one has truly fallen in love with Christ, and are nurturing their relationship with Him, then dying to self and to the things of this world becomes a stronger desire to that one!
Having the reality of the condition of this world helps, the world right now is a mess! And certain dangers lurk. But as we die to ourselves and lose our love for the ways of this world, our focus rises to a higher level and we begin to see heaven and eternity in a much deeper reality! We aim for it as we have our gaze upon Jesus, we want nothing else! We then gain absolute life in Christ and expect His soon return for His Bride!
