A focused mind is a powerful mind. Isaiah 26:3 "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." I sometimes battle as do most all staying focused.................but the devil's maybe #1 tool is sure enough "distraction"................

   There are people out there..............that don't want you loving god, that don't want you walking in the spirit...............they want you buying stuffs.............and probably probably they want your soul......................

Revelation 18:10-13 "Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men."

Souls of men, verse 13 it's on the list.

2 Peter 2

But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. ...

   I imagine pastors make merchandise for bablyon, for the harlot, of christians by going on and on and on with this "saved by grace" type sermons. 

everythings near ok in the body of christ these days

everything

everything but like watching porn that's bad

but most everything is ok these days

but to the pure all things are pure indeed

Titus 1:15 "Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled."

There being noo moderation hardly in the body of christ is the real problem.

Matthew 25

Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: ...

I do believe

if you

buy buy buy buy buy buy buy

that could very well = you not having enough oil in your lamp

and

and

not spending enough time in god's word in the day

there are "energy vampires" out there mark bajerski is speaking about

I have decided more then purchasing of things

what really could zap the oil out of our lamps

is not spending enough time in god's word in the day. 

there are pricipalities and powers

that don't want you reading god's word

Ephesians 6:12 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

They don't want you reading your bible today. They want you distracted. 

I no have family living near me - besides my husbands family, but we don't see them but at birthday parties and holidays. 

  I'm home past 2-3 years with my husband and college age young adult ALL THE TIME.......my youngest teen daughter does go to school so not at home all the time pretty well like my older young adult and husband. I've near spiritually died, just not being able to find time to read my bible.......................

I gonna have to start saying to my kids and husband

sorry I can't do that

I can't watch that movie right now

I NEED TO READ MY BIBLE

it's going to have to happen

DON'T BE A "FOOLISH VIRGIN" 

YOU NEED TO READ YOUR BIBLE

ps..........pastors sermons both on tv, and in person aren't doing so much for me. 

the bible is true

Amos 8:11 "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:"

  only way seems to be to hear the word of god anymore is to open my bible, and I'm much battling even finding time in the day oftentimes (todays a "good day") to read my bible NO JOKE!

LIKE I AIN'T TRYIN TO BE "FOOLISH" OVER HERE
