BURNING ALL YOUR BRIDGES --- YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO BACKSLIDE

BURNING ALL YOUR BRIDGES --- YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO BACKSLIDE

Some people have signed up for a one way trip to Mars, because there isn't time to return. This is a foolish earthling decision, because it leads to uninhabitable territory. However it is the exact attitude that is required to make the journey into My kingdom. All or nothing, throw it all in, selling out, leaving all, and leap of faith are all phrases that describe what is required to enter the kingdom.

The difference between those who do it and those who don't are life and death. This is not a light thing, it is the most important decision of your whole life. It is the decision your were born for, asking Me to be your savior is the first step and the easy one, because I did the work for you. Now I ask the hard question , "will you follow Me"?  

Without making the choice to burn all bridges, you cannot follow Me, because you are constantly looking back in your heart, and you are not fit. Counting the cost, means are you willing to give all you have, to buy the field that hides the treasure. 

If you have not noticed the world is attempting to totally enslave you. You are no more than an expendable number to them, and your value is determined by what you can produce. When you no longer meet quota, you are thrown out with the trash. This is the spirit of antichrist, that has moved to the front of the ruling parties. Read My word it's all there. 

Your faith and love level will determine if you can make this lifesaving decision or not. If you do not know My voice, then you won't. If you don't love Me with all your heart, then you won't. This is a heart decision that only you and you alone can make. I already know that only a few with make it, not because the most lack the ability, but because they lack faith in Me and love for Me.

Having bridges means you are lukewarm and you know My reaction to that. It's Me or the slave camp, you must choose. Do you have the faith and love is the question? Can you trust Me enough to step out on nothing at My command? Time is forcing your decision because the enemy is on schedule in his attempt to rule the earth, but will he rule you? Only in My kingdom will you be safe and free from his rule.

Luke 14:16-35 (AMP)
But Jesus said to him, A man was once giving a great supper and invited many; [17] And at the hour for the supper he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, Come, for all is now ready. [18] But they all alike began to make excuses and to beg off. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of land, and I have to go out and see it; I beg you, have me excused. [19] And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to examine and put my approval on them; I beg you, have me excused. [20] And another said, I have married a wife, and because of this I am unable to come. [21] So the servant came and reported these answers to his master. Then the master of the house said in wrath to his servant, Go quickly into the great streets and the small streets of the city and bring in here the poor and the disabled and the blind and the lame. [22] And the servant returning said, Sir, what you have commanded me to do has been done, and yet there is room. [23] Then the master said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges and urge and constrain them to yield and come in, so that my house may be filled. [24] For I tell you, not one of those who were invited shall taste my supper. [25] Now huge crowds were going along with Jesus, and He turned and said to them, [26] If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his own father and mother in the sense of indifference to or relative disregard for them in comparison with his attitude toward God and likewise his wife and children and brothers and sisters--yes and even his own life also--he cannot be My disciple. [27] Whoever does not persevere and carry his own cross and come after (follow) Me cannot be My disciple. [28] For which of you, wishing to build a farm building, does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see whether he has sufficient means to finish it? [29] Otherwise, when he has laid the foundation and is unable to complete the building, all who see it will begin to mock and jeer at him, [30] Saying, This man began to build and was not able (worth enough) to finish. [31] Or what king, going out to engage in conflict with another king, will not first sit down and consider and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand men to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? [32] And if he cannot do so, when the other king is still a great way off, he sends an envoy and asks the terms of peace. [33] So then, any of you who does not forsake (renounce, surrender claim to, give up, say good-bye to) all that he has cannot be My disciple. [34] Salt is good an excellent thing, but if salt has lost its strength and has become saltless (insipid, flat), how shall its saltness be restored? [35] It is fit neither for the land nor for the manure heap; men throw it away. He who has ears to hear, let him listen and consider and comprehend by hearing!

Matthew 13:44-50 (AMP)
The kingdom of heaven is like something precious buried in a field, which a man found and hid again; then in his joy he goes and sells all he has and buys that field. [45] Again the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a dealer in search of fine and precious pearls, [46] Who, on finding a single pearl of great price, went and sold all he had and bought it. [47] Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet which was cast into the sea and gathered in fish of every sort. [48] When it was full, men dragged it up on the beach, and sat down and sorted out the good fish into baskets, but the worthless ones they threw away. [49] So it will be at the close and consummation of the age. The angels will go forth and separate the wicked from the righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with God) [50] And cast them the wicked into the furnace of fire; there will be weeping and wailing and grinding of teeth.
