Don't Follow The Crowd! by Myra Boozer

When we FOLLOW the LORD, we will NOT FOLLOW the CROWD. We will take a different path, the path of Holy living, speech, thinking, conduct, and attitude. God said in His word, be ye Holy as I am Holy. Christ is coming for a holy people, a holy Church without blemish. Ephesians 5:27, "That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle or any such thing but that it should be holy and without blemish."

I was taught at an early age that if in doubt about something, don't do it. If it seems to be wrong it probably is! If it doesn't bring Glory and Honor to God, leave it. Now, the crowd doesn't understand that kind of talk. They have delighted in making their rules. Do what feels good to you. Don't concern yourself about what God or anyone else might think.

If you have been following the crowd, you still have time to get out of that trap. But, I will say you can't do it on your own. You must fall upon your knees in repentance and trust God to show you the way. He says in His Word, there is a way that seems right unto man but the end is destruction. That is why we can't trust ourselves. We must have Christ to clean our hearts and minds in order to know what He requires, in order to have ears to hear His voice.

Our guessing and hoping that we are on the right path isn't good enough. The Lord purchased our salvation and He knows the path that leads home. Unless He leads, guides and directs our ways, we might as well stay with the crowd. This sounds strong but it is time we give strong Godly advice, because "the world" is creating strong delusion (false belief).

GOD HELP US ALL TO STAY ON THE PATH OF RIGHT LIVING....IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE SAVED. John chapter 10 explains to us that Jesus is the good shepherd. He gave his precious life for His sheep. He knows His sheep by name and when He calls them they FOLLOW Him...and another they will NOT FOLLOW.

If the path you're on seems crowded with lots of happy go lucky people...not concerned about the day we're living in...if they are still talking the same old talk and walking the same old walk...YOU are definitely FOLLOWING THE CROWD. "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it," Matthew 7:14. Don’t Follow The Crowd! 

You Can't Replace God's Plan And Have God's Favor! Conclusion

(for part 1 see 1/22/26)

1 Peter 4:17, “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God…”

The external, dark forces in our world are pressing in upon the boundaries of holiness and righteousness which are so firmly established in God's Holy Word. We must push back and stop this intrusion. 1 Peter 4:17, “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?” We need the correction of the Word by the Holy Spirit. This correction must begin at the “house of God.” This text indicates an examination by the Word and Spirit in the household of faith, the family of God. 

The Bride of Christ will be presented to Him as chaste, pure, undefiled and without spot or wrinkle. One role of the Holy Spirit is to illuminate the darkness and remove the covering for sin. The covering for sin is the absence of Truth. The Word of Truth illuminated by the Spirit of Truth will set the souls of men free to walk in the liberty which only God can give.

The promise of Christ is that as the Gospel goes forth, it is accompanied by His power and authority. When religious men compromise the Word of God, they fail to walk in the authority of Christ, therefore, there is no power. If there is no power in the message, ask by whose authority the message has come. Is this my message or the message from the heart of God? It must be God’s message or we are Replacing The Plan Of God with our plan of flesh!

Revelation 22:18, “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” Are you Replacing God’s Plan with your own plan? “…what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?” 

Whose Work Are We Doing? by Myra Boozer

John 6:28, “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."

"Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established," Proverbs 16:3. Whose work are we doing? Our work or the Lord's work? When life is all about "ME," I am suddenly overtaken with my thoughts, which causes me to be living my life for me.

If my heart is on the Lord and His plan for my life then my personal life becomes secondary and serving Him takes priority. I don't have to search for work...but yield myself to BELIEVE ON HIM and He will bring people and situations into my life that I can love and be a blessing to. That my friend is the GOOD LIFE...loving God and loving Others...that is His plan for us! Whose Work Are You Doing? 

You Can't Replace God's Plan And Have God's Favor!

Jude 1:3-4

You can’t replace God’s plan and expect God’s favor! Jude wrote to identify the apostasy that had crept into the Church in his day. There were false teachers presenting Gnostic beliefs as truth. They believed and taught the emancipation of the spirit while their flesh could do anything it liked and as a result, they were guilty of all kinds of lawlessness. Vs. 4, For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Lasciviousness is defined by the Greek word “aselgia” which means: wantonness, lewdness, sensual. HelpWord studies define it as “violent spite which rejects restraint and indulges in lawless insolence, shameless and defiant, contemptuous expressing deep hatred or disapproval.” The use of this word indicates contempt for and revolt against the plan of God. We can conclude from this text that carnal men have chosen to reject the Gospel of Jesus Christ and replace it with their own carnal theology.

Jude was also writing to warn future generations to guard against false doctrine. The departure from the “faith” began some time ago. What we are seeing now is the result of rejecting God’s plan and authority. This apostasy, defection, revolt is taking place right before our eyes. As this falling away takes place, we can know that “the day of Christ,” “the day of the Lord” is at hand. See 2 Thess. 2:1-3.

God’s judgment is upon us because of man’s sinful revolt against His influence in our daily lives. One reason for this impending judgment is the apostasy that has crept into our churches. The ideals of a carnal theology have infiltrated the pulpit and replaced the faith that was once delivered to the saints.

Sin and apostasy must be identified and addressed. Our church leaders are obligated to seek for and teach the Truth. We are bound by our covenant and calling by the Lord Jesus Christ to preach and teach His Gospel. Today, we stand at the door of Christ’s return. Our task is to prepare for the coming of the Son of God, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ. Our challenge is to make ready the bride to be united with the bridegroom.

What's Next? by Myra Boozer

I shared this post on Jan 20, 2019. Then on Jan. 20, 2020, I had been feeling this very strongly over the past couple of days and thought of posting my thoughts. Then I read my memories for that morning. So here it is from 2019!

The Left wants FULL CONTROL! THAT is the only way they can have ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT. I personally believe it doesn't matter what the issue is. They just want to destroy whoever is not for their plan and control. We are in a desperate situation in America.

I pray for people to call out to God! When God declares time is up for the REPENTANCE OF THIS COUNTRY, not for individuals but as a country, I believe HE will let “them" have it back to destroy. That will bring in the GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD as the world has never seen before.

Remember, God is stronger than these people and could stop them. But He is allowing sin to have its reward...death! The wages of sin is death! Unrepented sin will always reap DEATH.  Today, the REAL need is for people to surrender to God Almighty and follow HIM!

Then, on Jan. 20, 2021, they worked their plan and got into the Oval Office with pen in hand. They quickly changed several things that President Trump worked so hard to achieve. But I will say again, God has allowed this. I believe it is time for the culmination of all things!

My heart is so heavy for the people who LOVE AMERICA...those who have no desire to kill babies or to change their gender...no desire to erase our history and take away our freedom of speech and freedom to bear arms...on and on.

It won't take long, and you will fully understand what I am saying. If you don't know the Lord Jesus, it is time to call out to Him and make your peace with Him. You and I and everyone are going to need Him as never before.  May you find comfort and peace in knowing Him as your Savior, Redeemer, and soon Coming King!

NOTE: I changed a few words in the original post to make it more easily understood. 

What Lies Ahead?

God knows what He wants to happen in our world and in each of our lives. Every living soul is faced with the decision of whether to heed the leading of God or to choose the alternative. Many are struggling to define God’s purpose and will for today, while others are literally giving their life’s blood in the name of Jesus. All over the world, every person has that choice, and God’s Spirit is striving with us all. But, it will not always be this way because the Bible says, “...My spirit shall not always strive with man...” Genesis 6:3.

God is dealing with all of us, urging us to follow His path. For some, God will make His presence known in a very strong and profound manner. For others, it may be less conspicuous. However, God will expose the world to His influence, and every person will make the choice to follow or not. We choose the course of our lives and the inevitable end of that choice.

The leaders of governments are making decisions today that will bring them and their system of government in line with the justice and rule of God’s law, or their decisions will put them in opposition to God. It is called “anti-Christ,” and the leaders of nations are making that choice today. Those choices will put them on an inevitable collision with the judgment of God. Many have already made their choice and are suffering the pains of Divine judgment.

Our heavenly Father knows the way that we should take. Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” We must walk close to Him so He may convey His direction to us. He will direct our steps if we will hear and obey His voice. John 10:27, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:” Our relationship must be such that we will hear and willingly consent to His guidance. He will lead us! Where He leads, we will follow! He will be all that we need Him to be! If we put our faith and trust in the Lord Jesus, it’s not so important What Lies Ahead! 

Good News! by Myra Boozer

Singing the old songs and hymns can really make one homesick for Heaven and for our loved ones who are already there. Listening to these songs carries one into a place where the heart swells with love for our Lord Jesus. He is the one who has done so much for all of us...not just a few, a specific people or a particular nationality...BUT FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE! That includes YOU...

He gave His all for YOU, whoever you are! If you're feeling lonely, forsaken, lost, and hopeless, I have good news for you. You are not forgotten! Jesus knows you by name! He desires to forgive you and heal your broken heart. He wants a relationship with you like no one you have ever known. He will be your constant companion and friend, your provider, your confidant, and your Savior. He will carry you through this life and take you to His Home when this life is over. (continued)
