KINGDOM R & R or COUNTERFEIT RELIEF

KINGDOM R & R or COUNTERFEIT RELIEF

The world will wear you out in a single day with all its turmoil and lust for power and possessions. Twenty four hours of running the rat race causes the average person to seek some type of counterfeit relief. The most popular counterfeit for the believer is escapism into another world, the world of TV and movies. The second is social media, where one enter the lives of others with little or no commitment or obligation. However these are extremely draining to the spirit man and within a few days leave you void of any spiritual power.

Within weeks the mind becomes conformed to the things which are viewed and what was once considered sinful is not so bad now. The steps backward increase in pace and you become conformed to the world: but you must be, being transformed by the renewing of your mind every day! So that you may prove what is My good, and acceptable, and perfect, will for your life. " Romans 12:2

Many believers become so carnal that they admire unsaved talent and beauty. They pay money to watch them perform and sing songs that are in opposition to My word. Nudity and sexual innuendos are laughed at as long as a hero of the world does it. My kingdom has not changed its standards to align with the world, but the church has compromised its principles to enjoy the lust of the flesh. Therefore by choosing the wrong R&R, many who were once considered the church, are powerless.

To these believers I am declaring: "I know your works, that your neither cold nor hot: I wish you were either cold or hot. [16] So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spit you out of My mouth. [17] Because you brag saying, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and don't know that you have become wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: [18] I counsel you to get your R&R from Me and add to your life gold tried in the fire, that you may be spiritually rich; and wear white raiment, that you may be spiritually clothed, and that the shame of your spiritual nakedness does not appear; and anoint your spiritual eyes with eye-salve, so that you can see your spiritual condition." Revelation 3:15-18

The truth is, if you brag about, promote, admire or enjoy the unsaved performers of the world you are still a friend of the world and "whoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." James 4:4 Some of you are crying out, NO WAY THIS IS GOING TOO FAR!!! This is what counterfeit R&R does to your soul, it makes it lukewarm, so that this is totally unacceptable. If you for any reason doubt My kingdom standard, for the next 30 days, take the kingdom challenge: Stop all viewing of ungodly and unsaved talent in movies, on TV, computer, or music. Replace it with alone time in My presence and pure worship music, everyday, hour for hour. After 30 days you will be amazed, you will no longer be lukewarm and your eyes will be opened to see how backslidden you actually  were!
