JESUS IS THE REAL "REALITY"

What are you believing God for? And why does it seem so hard to get it? Why are there so many roadblocks? Two reasons are certain: 1. Because they're supposed to be. (John 16:33 - “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”) 2. Because God is shaping your testimony in the fire. (Isaiah 48:10 NKJV Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.) So if you are going through a challenging time, you're supposed to be. Why would I say that? Because you are treading on the ground of the devil. You are stealing away from him the souls he's working so hard to take to hell. Understand this: The devil HATES YOU. But he knows he can't get you by walking in your front door. So he disguises himself in the form of false prophets preaching decietful messages, so-called reality television shows trying to "keep it real" in order to gain an audience for THEMSELVES NOT CHRIST, "good" vampires and wearwolves who fall in love and are trying to save the world from evil, all things that used to be considered evil, the devil has now made them appear to be good. We must remember that the devil has been very deceitful for a long time. "Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him." (Revelation 12:7-9 NIV) We can't allow ourselves to become like the world. After all we are a in the world but we are not of the world. We should stand out like salt and light. Matthew 5:13-16 says: “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. There's no such thing as "reality Christian shows" because they refuse to talk about the one "reality" we all need to know about and that is Christ. Without Christ, there is no reality. Without Christ we are as filthy rags. On our best day we are no good. Reality shows like the shows about pastors, ex-wives of pastors, children of pastors, and so forth, are just glorifying the work of the devil, not God. They are meant to propel the pastors into even more celebrity status than they are already, growing their church organizations by leaps and bounds. The sad thing is these people are lured into the worship of men and not God, which is idol worship. Study the word of God for yourself in these last days so you are not fooled by the devil's deceptions. He is busy, roaming to and fro seeking whome he may devour. Don't let it be you. Don't let it be your family and friends. Care enough about the souls of those you love to make sure they know the truth so they are not led like lambs to the slaughter. As followers of Christ we have one responsibility: to tell people of the goodness, the grace and the hope of Christ. Anything else is unneccesary and unfruitful. God bless you! Robert T Sells
