Opposite of Brain Dead Lazy

The number one reason Church folks will be in Hell is laziness. Laziness will cause once-saved Christians to become non-believers in Christ. Laziness will befriend a scripturally sound believer causing one to prefer books by “renowned” Christian authors over the Book of the Divine Inspired Word of God. God’s recorded Word written by authors chosen by Almighty God. You stop reading the Bible. Laziness will create doubts and have you discredit the teachings of Scripture. You suddenly become a genius at detecting the fallacy of the Holy Bible. Laziness will cause you to volunteer your brain for new age experiments. Your head is bent, position facing electronic gadgets from sunrise to midnight daily. Laziness will have you freely give up your mental faculty for use as test tubes incubating non-Christian enlightenment. Say this out loud: "Heavenly Father, give me the strength to be fierce in prayer and spending time with you daily."

Laziness will cause you to donate your body to zombie activities. You sit for hours, endlessly, watching glass screens with absorbing glares. The larger the dimensions the more exciting the view. Television. My goodness! Electronic gadgets galore. The joys of surround sound! Size 60-inch! Great for the bedroom. 70-inch for the living room! Good job. 90-inch for the basement! Oh my world… you have arrived. There is nothing wrong with owning material possessions for comfort or luxury. Except, when they become idols and their content idolatrous. Are there gains at this point? Have you then considered any losses in the process? Your mind. Your spirit. Your body. Your soul. Eternity and its forever lifespan.

Laziness will cause you to refuse to read and stimulate brain cells. Satan drips a nonsense speaking voice with facades of logic. Laziness makes you prefer listening to self-proclaimed credible sources. Satan infiltrates a source and places it in your path. There are countless willing agents of Satan; messengers the enemy sends directly for you, tailored to you. You are being sifted just like the Devil decided against you. Laziness will cause you to disengage brain activity. Your Brain. That tiny dot on the human anatomy, of which limited mortality only allow for maximum 10 percent usage, becomes aster sized in circuits of soundwaves and volumes. Minimized capacity. The minute your eyes open from the sleep of partial death every morning to the minute your eyes shut down for the sleep of partial death every night. Every waking minute dedicated to “screen” time! Parched brain. God forbid you’d flip to the Gospel at any time during this process!!! Oh noooo. Your personal giant screens are for everything else but that. Your archenemy, Satan the Devil, has so fixed it. Prayer can break you out of this mold. Prayer can break every yoke. Pray! Cry out loud with me, "Father forgive me and show me the way out."

There’s a Bible verse which says: “For God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7 KJV). Hallelujah! Amen. In simple English it means this. Power plus Love plus a Sound Mind equal Strategy. God the Heavenly Father created you and gave exactly what you’d need for the journey he sent you through earth to travel. Hear me again. With absolutely no trace of fear, Power plus Love plus a Sound Mind equals Strategy, for winning every single encounter you would ever face along this beautiful journey called Life. That’s what God does. Good things. Sadly, many of you have turned over your power to the enemy. Many have traded Love for hate. As for Sound Mind…You’ve exchanged sound mind for the mind of empty sounds. Sounds everywhere—evil sounds…silly sounds…rubbish sounds…loud noisy sounds…ungodly sounds—So many sounds you now mind you hardly have a mind left. You guard such boisterous sounds with your life. At the risk of your Sound Mind. It is time to pray out loud, "Jesus have mercy upon me. I am lost." May we each find our way back to the Creator’s plan.

Laziness has clothed you with fear. Fear. That very same spirit of fear Almighty God, your Heavenly Father, denied from having access to you. You, instead of staying away, diligently go searching for, find and embrace fear. It now manages you. Fear strips you of Faith. Without FAITH it is impossible to please God. To be able to see God one must please God. To be good is to obey the will of God; to do as God says. To be evil is to disobey the will of God; to not do as God says. Who did the Master say would enter the Kingdom at the end of the day? That end of day is when you transition from this current prison of mortal habitation, our prison body of flesh that courts fear. Jesus Christ says the GOOD will enter into eternal life. Jesus Christ says the EVIL will enter into eternal damnation—hell—separation forever from your Creator. Do you see how laziness plans to “do you in”? Laziness plans to obliterate you. A forever kind of do you in. Cry out with me, "Lord save me from myself!"

The little laziness that looked insignificant when you began courting it? Uh hum. It was just a small lil habit! Yes, my friend, you are right. It looked small back then. See now. It will reveal big. If you do not act fast enough. Now. Today. Right now, this minute. Reverse the laziness in you regarding the matter of God Almighty. Reverse the laziness in you when it comes to working out your own soul salvation in Jesus Christ. Reverse the laziness in your approach to life. Your precious life is in your hands. Never mind the laziness of others. We are talking about you. To follow the noise in the market is at your own peril. The marketplace is ungodly. You should be Godly. The bad thing that’s running behind you will not show you itself. Until it catches you. You are either strong or lazy with your life. When you are strong in the Lord, laziness will never catch you. Jesus strength in you causes you to outrun and outmaneuver it. Christ makes the difference. Shout with me, "Glory be to your name O Most High God!"

What are you preaching about this morning, Hortense? Here’s the major takeaway. There is Hope. Hope is Jesus Christ. The Lord specializes in fixing up the complicated messes we make of our life. Hope comes in the name of salvation. Christ the Lord is Salvation. Jesus Christ can remove the stain, the guilt, the regret, from the complicated messes we have become with our life. God’s redemption plan called the sacrifice on The Cross is how. The Blood that came spilling from Jesus Christ, God in human flesh, hanging on The Cross. The Blood was shed to erase every smudge of sin from you. This means, The Blood of Jesus can clean up laziness from your life. Jesus Christ loves you. Christ is calling you out today—Come out of those traps of the enemy. Come out and be entrapped lovingly in Jesus. Allow the Love of The Lord God to wrap you and wrap up everything about you. Love so confident. Love so unconditional. Love so amazing. Divine Love so phenomenal. The love of God keeps giving and giving and giving and giving. Take it. That’s the whole plan. God’s Amazing Love erases sin completely. Astoundingly, God’s love makes you clean; it wipes away like sin never existed; God forgets who you were and He never, ever remembers that part of you ever again. Shout with me, "Oh mighty awesome God!"

Let’s end this on a personal note. It is your life we’re discussing like this. What does it need? A turn around! Christ can handle that. Turn a new leaf. Turn a new page. Turn a new chapter. Turn…turn…turn. Keep turning until you are back with the Lord. Safely back to Almighty God the Heavenly Father. That’s the plan. For Eternity. Jehovah has spoken it to be so. Hallelujah!

I love you with a sisterly love. Stay strong. Stand up for Godliness. Stand up and be counted for righteousness. I pray you feel all the love coming from my end to you. In Jesus name.
