Ask yourself...
What is the meaning of your life?
What is your legacy?
Is life just... all about working some job... be it being a janitor or fastfood worker... or perhaps being a doctor or a lawyer or a system analyst... or anything in between...
You could be making anywhere from minimum wage to a six or 7 figure income...
But after you're done with school or work... where do you give your time, money and affections?
Is it sports? pornography? video games? drugs? alcohol? pursuing your vanity trying to look "hot" and act "cool" at the same time?
Wherever you spend your time, money, and affections...
that is your GOD.
You could call yourself whatever label you want...
You could even think you are "saved" and you already call yourself a Christian...
But at the end of your life...
When you suddenly find yourself...
Staring into eternity...
And being dragged into...
a very ugly place of torment...
You wonder why...
What have you done... to deserve such a thing...
Simple.
It is because you are just going to be with the "god" whom you served while you were living on this earth...
which is a DEMON... And devils are behind all these idols... And because you worshipped them throughout your entire life, you are now their temple...
They would be binding into your soul... taking possession of every chakra... as they would start to torment you and feed off the negative energy your suffering generates...
forever...
And that is HELL my friend...
And it is eternal... Since at the end of the day you are energy... energy is matter... and matter cannot be created or destroyed as stated in the Law of Conservation of Mass.
And by then it would be too late...
As you're filled with regret... as you're weeping and gnashing your teeth...
and screaming "NOOOO THIS CANNOT BEEE!!!"
This is why the Bible commands against IDOLATRY...
(Exodus 20:3-6)
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
(1 John 5:21)
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
(Colossians 3:5)
5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
(Psalm 16:4)
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
(Leviticus 19:4)
4 Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the Lord your God.
(1 Corinthians 10:14)
14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
God didn't command against idolatry because he's got such a big ego and he wants you to constantly worship Him as every atheist thinks God is...
Its because He cares about your spiritual well-being!!!
Friend, I used to be in IDOLATRY...
I used to be a VIDEO GAME ADDICT...
Used to spend countless hours playing Starcraft, Command and Conquer, Counter-strike, and League of Legends.
I would even call in sick at work just so I can play those games...
I played from 6 am till 10 pm... taking a break only to go to the bathroom and eat.
Because I had so much practice, I was a "pro"... I was such a "1337 PWN3R3R"... that I often got accused of using map hacks or aimbots...
And it got soooo bad one day that I blew up on my wife and cussed her out all because she wanted some time and all I was doing was playing videogames...
And overall I just had this miserable, cranky demeanor to me.
This void in my life that I was trying to fill with video games...
If you're a video game addict, ever had those days when... even though you won a majority of the games you played... and got to play an entire day...
You STILL feel miserable and unfulfilled...
As you crash in your bed and go to sleep...
Video games are just an example...
But no matter what the IDOL is in your life... same thing.
I have a friend who used to love partying, sleeping around with women, doing drugs and playing hockey and sports...
And he described the same things...
The feeling of life unfulfilled and in total misery even after he got to do those things and had lots of money to spend on those things...
Now he's a pastor and evangelist... and spends his extra time, money, and affections serving God.
And he's never been happier and more fulfilled in life. Even after he lost friends and his wife all because of serving God.
Its funny how people would hate a true man of God more than a wicked man...
Ever wonder why the Jews wanted Pilate to release Barrabas? (Matthew 27:17-23)
The world hates Jesus and everyone who has a considerable percentage of His Holy Spirit dwelling within them...
Because Jesus said that the world has hated Him first before it hated you... (John 15:18)
Look friend...
I'm not one of these PIMP PREACHERS on TV who wanna build a big ministry and make a ton of money lying to you and telling you all day how God loves you no matter what as I constantly reaffirm your sinful life and preach a prosperity gospel to you...
I'm here to tell you RIGHT NOW that you will lose friends and family all because of JESUS... Your enemies will be of your own household... (Matthew 10:36)
The road is narrow, friend... (Matthew 7:14)
but at the end of the road...
is the Kingdom of God.
and it is the most spiritually rewarding thing...
to be in the presence of God.
Who IS Love. (1 John 4:8)
God loves you more than any human on this earth can ever love you.
Because He went to the cross for you, friend.
So choose...
Will you choose to repent of your sins and follow Jesus?
Or will you continue in your wicked ways and worship your idols and end up in Hell?
The choice is yours.
