Rise up, O men of God!

Have done with lesser things, Give heart and mind and soul and strength to serve the King of Kings. We are living in desperate times my brothers and sisters in Christ. It is time to be done away with the things of this world and follow Jesus with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength. Matthew 16:24 says, "Then Jesus said to His disciples, 'If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.'" So many times we allow ourselves to get side tracked with very small things that we thought we had under control. We are taken away from what really matters; serving Jesus Christ with our all. I read this some time ago and it’s very simple yet forgotten by many; Chuck Smith once said, “The ground that we have taken away from the enemy through prayer, MUST be held by prayer. Let us be on our knees before the Lord asking Him to help us daily in our walks and to RISE UP as men and women of God.
