Or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,
Which I have reserved for the time of distress,
For the day of war and battle?

Life and walk of faith
‘As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him.’ Colossians 2:6
Suggested Further Reading: 1 John 2:3–11
There
are many Christians whose lives really are not consistent. I cannot
understand this if they are walking in Christ; in fact, if a man could
completely walk in Christ he would walk in perfect holiness.
We hear an instance, perhaps, of a little shopkeeper who puffs and exaggerates as other shopkeepers do; he does not exactly tell a lie, but something very near it.
Now I want to know whether that man was walking in Christ when he did that. If he had said to himself, ‘Now I am in Christ,’ do you think he would have done it? We hear of another who is constantly impatient, always troubled, fretting, mournful.
I want to know whether that man is really walking in Christ as he walked at first, when he is doubting the goodness, the providence, the tenderness of God. Surely he is not.
I have heard of hard-hearted professors who take a Christian brother by the throat with, ‘Pay me that thou owest.’ Do you think they are walking in Christ when they do that? We hear of others who, when their brothers have need, shut up the bowels of their compassion and are mean and stingy; are they walking in Christ when they do that?
Why, if a man walks in Christ, then he acts as Christ would act; for Christ being in him, his hope, his love, his joy, his life, he is the reflex of the image of Christ; he is the glass into which Christ looks; and then the image of Christ is reflected, and men say of that man, ‘He is like his Master; he lives in Christ.’ O dear brethren, if we live now as we did the first day we came to Christ, we should live very differently from what we do.

For meditation: Christ gave us a perfect example—in service (Mark 10:43–45; John 13:14–15), in kindness, forgiveness and love (Ephesians 4:32–5:2), and in suffering (1 Peter 2:21–23). Could you honestly encourage other Christians to imitate you, as you imitate Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1)?

Marcel,
I wanted to make a late comment on Jacob's message yesterday.
Almost unbelievable, the amount of apostasy that is in the organized church system. It cannot continue. The big name preachers totally CONTRADICTING Scriptures, CHRIST and HIS+ Apostles !
We have been dealing with two ladies who are godless and feel that they are fine !! They have NO sin !!! We are watching them both DIE. WE try to warn them about entering into eternity without CHRIST, without Forgiveness of their sins, but it's like water off a duck's back. They are fine because they are them. Totally blinded by satan.
Then we were talking to an old friend who we found out was masonic in background and DEAD toward the Gospel of Life, toward CHRIST and Repentance. . . although she knew the "right" words to say to make her sound like she was right with GOD.
We will CONTINUE to warn them until we cannot. It is too important to play games. Most of the churches no longer preach the straight Gospel message . The churches muddy the waters.
Please pray for us in this battle . Masons teach that there are many ways to GOD, but THERE IS ONLY ONE+ WAY , THROUGH MESSIAH+ YESHUA.

Jacobs message was powerful. They will do anything for money because it is their god.
Masons have opened the door to hell when they took an oath and were initiated into this evil cult that is so accepted in order to be with the "in" crowd in the south. Mist churches have LOST their first love and have many lovers, idols they serve.
Deep darkness covers this rebellious earth and the wicked who have hardened their hearts to Jesus have no one to blame but themselves.
Will pray for you both.
Marcel, I'm a little curious as to the French authorities' reaction to the protests. It seems to me that not long ago Muslim young men (characterized in the media as "French youths") were setting fire to hundreds of cars. There was some uproar about it, but nothing like the reaction these yellow vests are provoking, even though on balance they might be a bit less violent and destructive than the followers of the false prophet. What's your take?
Hi brother,
I think it's the pile up effect of God's judgments just getting worse and worse.
The stupid, godless, and corrupt French leaders appeased and rewarded the Islamic hordes burning down France and they will not go as far with the middle class rioters, they will have to show their heavy and brutal fist to save what is left of the decaying, cursed, (Genesis 12:3) dying France and this will bring even more trouble.
NOW the mainstream middle class of France are burning angry at the god Macron that most of them elected and raved about in adoration to lead them Now they are fed up.
Insanity and cracking up nations will become the norm. Jesus warned us;
'Men's hears failing them for the things that are coming upon the earth'.
So we can forget about politics, democracy, republics, or electing anyone with half a brain to save anyone or anything.
I've got a picture I shall put up on the blog for Monday having to do with our focus that will keep us in these days we are living in. I know you already know this, just sending it out to these who do not know and read the comments here.
Just my take, I hope it makes sense ?
The remnant of God's people in France, as they are here, are hunkering down, looking to Jesus for everything and not the ship of fools.
