John 16: 32 says - Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

Shall we just analyze ourselves? Why did our Lord Jesus Christ say these words?

We reconcile with God that is only Baptism. After that we spend our time according to what our mind desires, according to our wishes and utilize our time for worldly things, vain things, worldly worries. Due to this our mind is scattered in doing what our flesh and mind desires. And so we go astray far away from God and come to him according to our desire whenever we feel like it or else we never come to Him. We have to realize our mistake and submit ourselves to God. Now is the time for all of us to realize our mistakes and submit to God and pray, then we can receive the deliverance in our lives.

Ephesians 2: 4 – 9 says But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (our soul is being made alive) (by grace you have been saved),

and raised us up together and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

not of works, lest anyone should boast.

That is what is written in John 16:28 - I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.” And he has raised us up together and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

Our God sent his only begotten Son to this world, submitted Him and raised him up. In the same way he did the same things in our soul. Christ is born in us – in our souls and then we must crucify all our old deeds, sin, iniquity, transgression, traditional life, customs and traditions of the world, fleshly thoughts which God hates, fleshly lusts, worldly love and everything which God does not like on the cross with Christ. We must die to all these things, bury them all and raise up as a new body in Christ. All these changes happening in our soul is our first resurrection. Everything happens in our soul. You must understand that this does not take place in the worldly celebrations.

Dearly beloved, who are reading this please think. Let us analyze and let each one of us confess our mistakes. We heard God’s truth but threw it away. God’s truth is not being spoken in churches. We did not wait on the Lord for the truth to be revealed. Let us shed tears, cry, confess our mistakes and pray to our God.

Amos 5: 16 – 23 says Therefore the Lord God of hosts, the Lord, says this: “There shall be wailing in all streets, And they shall say in all the highways, ‘Alas! Alas!’ They shall call the farmer to mourning, And skillful lamenters to wailing.

In all vineyards there shall be wailing, For I will pass through you,” Says the Lord.

Woe to you who desire the day of the Lord! For what good is the day of the Lord to you? It will be darkness, and not light.

It will be as though a man fled from a lion, And a bear met him! Or as though he went into the house, Leaned his hand on the wall, And a serpent bit him!

Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light? Is it not very dark, with no brightness in it?

“I hate, I despise your feast days, And I do not savor your sacred assemblies.

Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them, Nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings.

Take away from Me the noise of your songs, For I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments.

God despises those who celebrate the worldly feasts and festivals and offer sacred assemblies to Him. That is why, today the whole world is in darkness. Churches are functioning against holiness because such mistakes are being done in churches, by people who are speaking God’s word, people working for God and by God’s people.

How are we supposed to be? We should ask, listen and walk according to the truth.

In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

Therefore as in John 17:16 - They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Each and everyone should accept our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Those who have accepted Jesus must overcome the world, flesh and devil through the Word of God. When we overcome these on a daily basis and submit ourselves everyday and pray, God will fill us with his power and answer our prayers.

My dearly beloved, when we follow God’s word each and every day- not us but He who dwells in us will make supplication for us.

According to Romans 8: 26 - Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

John 17:15 says I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.

Jude 1: 20, 21 says But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, 

keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

Colossians 2: 12 – 15 says buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.

And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,

having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.

Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.

In this way, God delivered us from all this, saved us and purchased us from the destruction of the world by his blood and gave us victory. Therefore, we have to glorify our God all the time. After he purchased and delivered us by His blood, we have to safe guard our Body, Spirit and Soul completely to be without any faults when Christ comes.

Submit and Pray
