Praise the Lord everybody, Oh taste and see that the Lord He is good! I pray that everyone is enjoying the blessings of God. These are perilous times we live in and the body of Christ needs to come together as one. God has called us out of the world to be a Holy people unto Him.
The word of God states in 1st John 2:15+16 Love, not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life is not of the Father but is of the world.
God has warned us against loving the world or the things of this world. Our problem in the Body of Christ, especially here in the USA is that many "Christians" want to live partly in the Church and partly in the world. They say "we love the Lord" but they turn back to the world first chance they get, some have gone as far as to try and integrate the world into the Church when Gods word clearly states for us to not love the world or the things of the world.
The World belongs to the "Prince of this world" Satan. The world is enemy territory. In California, there are two gangs called the "bloods and the crips." These two gangs hate each other and If one gets caught in their territory he either gets a beat down or is killed. The other day it was shared with me that we Christians are in the same type of situation so to speak. We are under the Blood the blood of Jesus Christ and the World is crippled and blinded by the lies of the devil. We are of the "Blood" and they are the "crips" in this spiritual "gang" fight.
This being said Blood washed Christians need to stop going into "Crips" territory. We can't be a part of a royal Priesthood on one day and in fellowship with the World the next day. God says in His word in 2nd Corinthians 5:14+15 14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
If you are under the blood and your best friends are nonbelievers pray for them and be a witness to them but do not get caught behind enemy lines with them. We are warned in the Bible in 1st Peter 5:8 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
If you as a man or woman of God keep crossing over into enemy territory, unless you are on a mission from God, you will be devoured by that "lion". The Lord has no need for the double-minded. We who are in Christ have died to our old lives, we are new creatures according to God's word. We can not keep going out for drinks with our old friends or dancing at the club, neither are we to lend our members to prostitutes or our eyes to pornography.
1st Corinthians 15:33 states 33 Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”(NIV)
Meaning do not be fooled, bad influences will affect those trying to do right before those trying to do right can affect those who do evil. It is time for the Church to forsake this world and to get prepared for the fight of its life as the devil prepares to make his final assault. Don't get caught in enemy territory.

Good word brother Darrell I rather be covered by the blood of Jesus than to be crippled by the enemy.
