BE IMITATORS OF GOD

BE IMITATORS OF GOD,

Therefore, as dearly loved Children

2 And live a life of love,

Just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us

As a Fragrant Offering and Sacrifice to God.

3 But among you

There must not be even a Hint of Impurity,

Or of Greed,

Because these are Improper for God's Holy People.

4 Nor should there be Obscenity, Foolish Talk or Coarse Joking,

Which are Out of Place,

But rather thanksgiving.

5 For of this you can be sure:

No Immoral, Impure or Greedy Person--

Such a man is an Idolater--

Has any Inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and of God.

6 LET NO ONE DECEIVE YOU WITH EMPTY WORDS,

For because of Such Things

Gods' Wrath comes on those who are Disobedient.

7 THEREFORE DO NOT BE PARTNERS WITH THEM.

8 FOR YOU ONCE WERE DARKNESS,

BUT NOW YOU ARE LIGHT IN THE LORD.

Live as Children of Light

9 (For the Fruit of the Light

Consists in all Goodness, Righteousness and Truth)

10 AND FIND OUT WHAT PLEASES THE LORD.

11 HAVE NOTHING TO DO

WITH THE FRUITLESS DEEDS OF DARKNESS,

BUT RATHER EXPOSE THEM.

12 For it is Shameful even to mention

What the Disobedient do in Secret.

13 BUT EVERYTHING EXPOSED BY THE LIGHT BECOMES VISIBLE,

14 For it is Light that makes Everything Visible.

This is by it is said:

'Wake up, O Sleeper

Rise from the Dead,

And Christ will Shine on you.'

15 BE VERY CAREFUL THEN, How you live--

Not as Unwise but as Wise,

16 Making the Most of Every Opportunity,

BECAUSE THE DAYS ARE EVIL.

17 Therefore do not be Foolish,

But Understand what the Lord's Will is.

18 DO NOT GET DRUNK ON WINE,

Which leads to Debauchery.

INSTEAD BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT.

19 Speak to one another with Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs.

Sing and make Music in your Heart to the Lord,

20 ALWAYS GIVING THANKS TO GOD THE FATHER

FOR EVERYTHING,

In the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

21 SUBMIT TO ONE ANOTHER OUT OF REVERENCE FOR CHRIST.

(Ephesians 5:1-21)

We are to be Imitators of God--of Christ Jesus.

The Attributes of the World Surround us,

We are aware of them Every Day;

The Fruitless Deeds of Darkness;

Seemingly, Endless Idolatry,

In a World Ruled by Satan and his Demonic Horde,

Where Good is called Evil and Evil Good.

This is why the Days are Evil,

And have been since the Fall of Adam and Eve.

But we, as Followers of Christ Jesus

Are to be Filled with the Spirit

And Represent the Kingdom of God on this Earth.

We are to Live in The Secret Place of the Most High God

And Find Rest in the Shadow of His Wings [Psalm 91];

Speaking to one another with Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs

Making Music in our Hearts to the Lord.

It has fallen to us to live

In the Last of the Last Day of TIME,

By the Will of Almighty God.

Therefore, as Christ Jesus warned us:

Be always on the Watch,

And pray that you will be able to Escape

All that is about to happen,

And that you may be able TO STAND before the Son of Man.

(Luke 21:36)

Today, the World is raging against God,

Rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)

This World in its Present Form is Passing Away.

(1 Corinthians 7:31)

America is being Ground to Powder

Because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has Written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done,

On Earth as in Heaven!
