WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO COMPROMISE

Good morning and praise the Lord. This morning I was awakened by the Holy Spirit with this thought in mind.He was reminding me of the story in the book of Daniel about the fiery furnace and three Hebrew boys that would not compromise no matter what. We live in a time the bible calls perilous times 2 Timothy3:2. Its a time when compromise is running rampent in all the earth. However we as christians can not compromise our convictions. The three servents of God in the story of Daniel were faced with a decision that could cost them thier lives. They were men of great conviction when it came to the service to their God. They chose to be true to their God and they were cast into a firey furnace that should have detroyed them but it didn't touch them. The story says a fourth man showed up in the furnace with them. This fourth man was the Son of God. You and I are faced everyday with decision that may cause us to comprimise what we know is right. As the spirit was talking to me this morning he was showing me some areas where we as human beings have the biggest challenge for compromise its with family members and most of all with our children. Lets think for a moment how many times we may of compromised with our children for example lets think about when they wanted something you knew it wasn't good for them but rather then get into an argument with them you gave in and let them do what they wanted. What about ourselves we were faced with a decision that could challenge our godly convictions and we new what we should be doing but we ignored the promptings of the Holy Spirit and went and did what our flesh wanted. Then when the problems started coming at us as a result of compromise who did we blame not ourselves but God got the blame. Its time for us as christians to take a long look at our life in Christ and ask the question are we truly committed to him so that there will be no compromise in our life. Compromise is very costly. I would challenge you and I to read Daniel Chapter three and 2 Timothy Chapter three. And ask the Holy Spirit to show us the areas of comprimise in our lives. The time for standing for our Godly convictions is right now as we see are world going into the perilous times as written in 2 Timothy Chapter three. Its time to stand for the truth no matter what the cost. I have just shared with you what the Holy Spirit was speaking to my heart this morning I pray that you will be blessed by it. Have A Blessed and Healthy Day In Jesus. From Pastor Ken.
