Life's Railway to Heaven

"Which Train Will You Board"

     All of us have battles that we must face whether we are saved or not.  The greatest battle is the choice between 2 roads: Straight and narrow/broad and wide.  Life's railway consists of 2 trains:  God's and Satan's. 

     God's train is full of joy and peace mixed with contentment.  The Christian journey is not an easy one, but God is always with us even when we can't feel Him.  There are many Valleys we must go through in order for us to experience real growth into the person He knows we can be: discouragement, despair, loneliness, heartache, temptation, travail of loss, death.  We will not face all of these mountains at once.  We cannot learn to lean on Him if He gives us victory through each valley.  Some valleys must be endured more than once before we might see real growth.  But we have that eternal Hope that He will never put more on us than we can bare.  At the end of all these valleys is the greatest mountain of all--The Mountain of God!  The place where we shall see Him in all His glory, when we realize we have made the right choice to follow Him. 

     Satan's train is disguised as everything any of us could want.  But the enemy of our soul is real good at quoting scripture but not finishing it.  The whole time any one of us is on this train we cannot see what is being stolen from us.  But the end result is seen clearly in the world today: broken homes, battered women, pornography, molestation, disease, shattered dreams.  And when we get to the end of Satan's train ride, he shows himself in his true form, then it's too late to turn back.  We are forever lost. 

So, which train will you choose? 

BROAD & WIDE or STRAIGHT & NARROW? 

Jesus is calling you.  Are you tuned in?  CAN you hear Him?  Will you answer? 

THIS IS WAR

     Do you put on the armor of God daily?  Do you make yourself ready for whatever battles Satan has prepared for you to confront? 

     We are surrounded by Spiritual Warfare.  If we should choose not to fight as the Israelites did in the Valley of Elah, we will be in constant turmoil.  (1 Sam. 17)  Goliath used intimidation to bring fear into the hearts of Israel's army and King Saul.  Satan still uses this tactic today with God's children.  Satan will blow things out of propotion if we let him.  Satan is one enemy that we should never ever make a peace treaty with. 

     How do we combat this enemy?   We should always begin with prayer.  If we don't pray through the fear, we will remain paralyzed because of it!!  We cannot fulfill God's purpose He created for us, if we live in a state of fear.  These battles must be confronted head on.  The battle will not be won by waiting on the sidelines for God to move on our behalf.  We must begin with prayer and find prayer warriors who will come along beside of us to help us pray it through.  When we rely soley on God to give us the strength we need to defeat the enemy in the battle ahead, we will be victorious!!
