On Time, On Track and On Purpose

Perilous times are quickly approaching. The things that are happening right now are unprecedented, Dark. The agenda currently in our country is certainly not about peace, prosperity or us living the American dream. Freedom seems to be on the chopping block —> Wickedness is abounding —> Inflation is running rampant. If there ever was a “Time” or “Season” to “Arm” yourself, your family or your community, it’s “Now.”

There is a path that we are all on whether we chose it or just don’t know it – Principle of the Path, Notice: There are many who seem like nothing bad ever happens to them, they always seem happy, never seem to lack, like they are always prosperous and always at peace – Somewhat —–> Unshaken! There are also many who seem like something bad is always happening to the, they always seem unhappy, miserable and sad, never seem to have enough, always seem to be in crisis —> Shook!!!!! Proverbs 4:18-19 (NIV): “The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble.” Psalm 1:1-6 (NIV 1984): Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season & whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. Not so the wicked!

Psalm 1:1-6, Continued: “They are like chaff that the wind blows away. 5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.” 

                        Where You Sit Determines What You’ll See

                                             Where You Stand Determines What You’ll Do

                                                                  Where You Walk Determines What You’ll Receive

Did You Know That You Can Have The Right Intentions But Be On The Wrong Path? Haggai 1:5-7 (ESV): “Now, therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts: Consider your ways. You have sown much, and harvested little. You eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who earns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes. ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Consider your ways.’”

Did You Know That We Can Choose & Change What The Course of Our Lives Will Look Like?

Proverbs 4:23 (NLT): “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” 

Your Decisions Today Can Change Your Tomorrow—But It’s Your Direction That Determines Your Destination. Jeremiah 6:16-19 (NLT): “This is what the Lord says: ‘Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path, & you will find rest for your souls.’ But you reply, ‘No, that’s not the road we want!’ 17 I posted watchmen over you who said, ‘Listen for the sound of the alarm.’ But you replied, ‘No! We won’t pay attention!’ ‘Therefore, listen to this, all you nations. Take note of my people’s situation. 

Jeremiah 6:16-19 Continued: 19 ‘Listen, all the earth! I will bring disaster on my people. It is the fruit of their own schemes, because they refuse to listen to me. They have rejected my word.’”
