We are to “watch and be sober”. Understand that the night crowd can easily lead you astray, so stay vigilant and go to bed when it is night.
The Bible makes it clear how we can know how to live and act for God. He teaches us to “take fast hold of instruction” and “let her not go” but keep it.

27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare...
Both Jesus and the Bible are called the “Word of God”. You cannot even have one without the other. It would be incomplete.

If we are to believe that we know God personally, then we are also living in His will. There is a conviction “that we know him, if we keep his commandments.”
If your focus is on God, you won’t help it but desire to live by His laws. By doing so, you are showing your trust in Him above all else.
If you believe that you are saved and will go to heaven, then search your heart to see if you are for God.
To gain knowledge, we must first understand the meaning of fear. We learn that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.”
In your prayers and worship, acknowledge that the Lord is all powerful. He surely is mighty and can do all things for our lives.
We learn from Psalms that praise is the way of a Christian believer. We no longer sit with our beliefs and do nothing.
Revelation 2 :1-3 (KJV)
1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven...
Many false teachings can come into a church, when new “so-called” revelation begins to override what the Bible teaches.
The Lord is the giver of all things good. His love is like nothing I’ve ever experienced. He has offered me and you His living water, that we may not thirst.

Those whose hearts are closed off to God’s will, in their life, are on a slippery slope to hell. Unless they open their hearts to God, they will surely die in their sins.
As I prayed to God, my flesh kept telling me that I was not worthy. How could God forgive someone such as I? I would tell myself.
Those that love the world over the things of God are so lost. Just saying we believe in Christ is not enough.
After our hearts are cleansed and washed clean, it is not a time to back down. This prayer that you made was a great experience and is the first steps to being led by Christ.
If you are in the faith and are living for God, then you can see His mercy and kindness for your life.
Lift your hands high and worship the Lord. Sing out in joyous praises to Jesus, our Savior. Allow your love to come out.
To those that are ready now, to give thanks to God, join in with me and rejoice in our King. “Lift up your hands”, “and bless the Lord.”
Those in the faith come together in fellowship, one with another, for this is church. We are all the members of Christ.
Too many so-called Christians have died and gone to hell because they thought their own good works would save them.
We are saved by grace, through faith, and not of our own good works, “lest any man should boast.” It is so important that we humble ourselves before God.
Let the Lord convict you of your sins. Cry unto God and ask for forgiveness. May these desires lead you to pray often and seek God’s hand in your life.
Don’t worry to much about the people that scrutinize your faith. Continue in prayer that they change their heart.
