I Need, We Need

     There was a guy I went to school with, my neighbor actually, whose favorite expression when someone said or did anything racy or outrageous was "Girl/boy you need Jesus!" He usually said it as a joke and everyone would laugh, because not so surprisingly, like most teenagers we didn't think about it really, God, Jesus, we believed they were real, but nothing we needed to worry about now, we thought we had forever to get that right. Most of the people in our group were "Christians" in the sense we believed Jesus to be God's son, and that He had died and was resurrected, but I really don't think one of us knew Jesus, I don't think any of us realized how right Sam was when he said we needed Jesus.
       The truth is we all need Jesus, this world needs Jesus. It doesn't take a large IQ, or great spiritual understanding to recognize that this world as a society, as a now connected internet culture, that we are in a downward spiral. In every country, in every part of the world acts of evil, destructive storms, and infectious diseases are spreading and occurring in increasing numbers. These things shouldn't surprise any of us though, it has been coming and building to this for thousands of years, we were warned of it long ago, in many prophecies, and by many prophets. The clock was set ticking long ago and time is running short now, you need Jesus.
         Jesus is the only person who can keep you in this coming storm, in Jesus is the only safe place to be. I don't often write this stuff, and it's totally off topic but today I feel like there is someone who is reading this that needs to know, and this is your confirmation, that the Lord is calling you, do not continue to tarry, do not waver about what you are seeing, go to it, and begin the work. I apologize to everyone who is lost after that little interruption in my post today, but I had to write that. Now back onto topic, what I was trying to say, what I was writing and getting at is the times are bad and getting worse, and you need Jesus to survive! There is no hope and no life outside of Yeshua, if you are not abiding in the Lord then you are on the path to destruction and death, you need Jesus. You need Jesus and you need to live for Him to truly live at all.
   
Psalm 55:22        
Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.

1 John 5:4        
For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
     
2 Timothy 3:1-5
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.  People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
