They are again entangled...

II Peter 2:20-22 NKJV

For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog returns to his own vomit,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”

Shalom! Day #34. Do you know that those who already know the Truth, and entangled themselves in the things of the world, their end will be worst then the beginning? Let's pray. Father, in the name of Jesus we come before You today. Help us to stay on right track of Your truth so that we may not give in to false teachings as well as being entangled in the things of the world. In Jesus name we ask and pray. Amen.

For once we escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. But then again we entangled ourselves in the world. Why? Because in Matthew 13:3-7, 19-22 NKJV Jesus began to say and explain a parable, "Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: “Behold, a sower went out to sow.  And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them.  Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth.  But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away.  And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them.  When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside.  But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;  yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.  Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful." Why we are entangled again in the world is because we are not strongly planted and rooted in Him. 

But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog returns to his own vomit,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.” Let us not be like a dog that returns to it's vomit. But be planted and rooted in the Lord. Like a builder who laid a strong foundation and built his house no matter how strong the wind Is, it is still standing strong. Likewise if we are living daily in His promises, claiming it for everyday, you shall see the things which God has already prepared for you In the invisible realm. We humans are educated in the visible realm. We are educated to see what is happening around us. We educated to fear. We are educated to see the physical situation of our lives. Yet God is saying to us, to step into the invisible realm and see the things which He has already prepared for us. Unless and until we step into the invisible realm, we won't be able to live accords to His ways and will.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
