As a believer in Jesus Christ, one must be in a continual state of abandonment.
This isn't some Gnostic doctrine I'm promoting. Let me explain.
When your Weltanschau is based on a Biblical grid you MUST evaluate everything according to that standard.
We are all products of our upbringing, our culture, our desires and preferences.
Every time one of our closely held beliefs comes to light as contradictory to what the Bible says about it we MUST change.
To make our faith/belief have precedence over what God says is idolatry. I've written much about that before.
So we must get used to the idea of "abandonment!"
We must be willing to give up those things that were perhaps defining of our very lives.
For me it was political.
I no longer define myself as I did.
Abortion, marriage, and freedom of religion are still big issues for me. They are defined by my understanding of Scripture.
Willingness to abandon things that don't measure up to a Biblical worldview -----not church traditions---becomes increasingly important as time nears its end.
After all, God's Word abides forever. What else matters? It IS the definitive plan for our existence.
Be willing to give up your "sacred cows." Those things you thought were right, but with brighter light, and the magnifying glass of God's ideas, the flaws become more apparent.
Remember, things of this earth that seem so right, but aren't, will only last for this age. It's rapidly drawing to a close.
The Word says that there are those who call God "Lord"----and He will not acknowledge them! Why not? Are they thinking that they serve God, when in fact they are idolators?
Please ask yourself these hard questions---Am I serving God?---or a God of my own making/understanding?
Abandon that god. Seek GOD, the Lord, Creator. Find Him in the Word.
Give up your "churchiness" ---give up your occult, your witchcraft, your false gods. Give up your hedonism, your secret societies, (with all of their own vows and hidden mantras) freemasonry, conspiracy illusions, Illuminati, elitism. Give up Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Mormonism, ---and any "cult." Give up your ideas based on church tradition, whether they are Catholic, Lutheran, or Methodist-----GIVE THEM UP!
Abandon them ALL for the strong meat of God's Word. Measure them, weigh them. They will be found wanting.
Jesus is all you need. Find Him now. The Jewish Messiah. God, ---Jesus ben David, Jesus ben Joseph.
Our Heavenly Father is wrapping up Time. He will not delay.
Get right with God.
