Loyality to Royality

Great Morning to all!!
We went to an awesome youth service in Commerce, TX last nite preached by an anointed man of God, Bro Ben Crites. The title, "LOYALTY TO ROYALTY"

The spirit of God moved in a mighty way and lots of great things were spoken about how we need to get(and stay)close to God through prayer, fasting and reading/studying His word FAITHFULLY each day!

The enemy CANNOT DEFEAT US when we are ON OUR KNEES! This world is rocking too and fro and trying to take us with it to destruction by capturing our minds & hearts with "all that glitters". But just remember this, all that the world and Satan offer, IS NOT GOLD! They are of no value compared to what Jesus has done for us and all the wonderful things that He's prepared for those who stay faithful to the very end! Jesus paid the highest price imaginable for us, much more than all the gold AND diamonds in the whole world! He loves us with a love this world could never possibly understand! He has a plan for each one of us, we don't have to be "cookie cutter" person like everyone else! He has custom made a mold just for you, for who we truly are IN HIM! Remember, we are graven in the palms of His hands! We cannot be afraid of, nor let down on WHO WE ARE IN JESUS!

So, where does our loyalty lay, if it's with this world, our loyalty is to Satan and we serve him! BUT, if it's with Jesus, then it's a "Loyalty to Royalty", and it shows our honor and allegiance is with Him. So is our Loyalty to world or with Jesus?? Here's the thing, YOU CHOOSE! No one can choose for you! No one can live for God for you and no one can separate you from the love of God!(Rom 8:35=39) We have power over anything that the Devil can throw against us BUT we are no match for temptation! That is why the bible clearly states "FLEE" TEMPTATIONS(I Tim.6:6-11; II Tim. 2:22; I Cor. 6:18, 10:14)

James 4:7 says..."Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and HE WILL FLEE from YOU."

Bro Ben said "It's time to light a few fires!" Fires of revival! We need to carry this gospel like soldiers carry their weapons. They use them to defend our country and so, we need to carry ours, the sword (God's holy word)and His spirit (the Holy Ghost) with us each day to defend this glorious truth! For not only ourselves but "WHOSOEVER WILL" also...

Act 1:8 "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."

Act 2:38-41 "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, [even] as many as the Lord our God shall call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added [unto them] about three thousand souls."

Rev 22:17 "And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely."


I could go on and on but, I am going to stop there... I cannot do this sermon justice, Thanks Bro Ben for following and speaking what God laid on your heart for our young people (and the old people too=-)...God moved in a mighty way last nite and I believe hearts and lives were forever changed! Thank you Jesus!

Love and Great day to all! Love to all!! =-)
