Time spent with loved ones is in vain if God is not glorified, if we are not being His witness in the time spent.
Never is one moment of the life Eloheem has given us to be spent frivolously, glorifying self or others but neglecting being His witness, neglecting glorifying Him because one doesn’t want to seem to be all about God because of negative words, thoughts, actions of those present. Actually, that is being ashamed of Him, denying the Almighty YHW.
The fact that no matter where we are or what we are doing, or who we are with; We bring up God, equate something spoken of with God, or the fact He is always in our thoughts is not a negative at all. We are to speak of Him, of His law, tell of His wondrous works as we are in our homes, as we are out and about; as we are teaching our children, as we are cleaning, cooking, and wherever we go; wherever we are, etcetera—We have been cleaned up and cleaned out of all contrary to our Lord: We are to be His living walking sanctuary in whom He dwells. We are to live being His witnesses, living testimonies of His saving power.
Anytime spent with loved ones especially in these last days; We best be willing and of freewill letting the Holy Spirit use us in bringing them to a revelation of the Agape Eloheem. Our very purpose is to glorify Him, please Him, thank Him in all things at all times no matter what the situation or circumstances; obey Him by faith; He gives us the Holy Spirit that we obey Him—gives us both the will and to do His good pleasure; He even gives us His Agape that we love Him—it’s His Love we love Him with! We Lift Christ up, He draws men to Himself.
So if we are just hanging out with our loved ones, our children, friends, co-workers, etcetera and we are not being intentional about God being in our very DNA—God being our breath, our joy, our happiness, our peace, our confidence, our happiness, our contentment—we fail to live Him, as well as speak of Him if opportunity arises—many don’t because many don’t want to seem extreme or over the top to others, or feel they won’t want to be around them; then self is very much alive, sin is still active in the soul—the flesh is not dead; the carnal mind is reigning.
We can paint it whatever way we want—it is still what it is.
We are to be God’s witnesses, no matter our past, no matter who we are around, no matter where we are.
“And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, to open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.”
Acts 26:15-18 KJV
Repent and be converted. Watch and pray. Be not deceived. Time is almost finished.
