The War on Complacency

Dearly Beloved,
The War on complacency has become unnoticed. The Lord in Zeph 1:12 punishes men who are "stagnant in Spirit" The Possession of things in this world keep us distracted that births being stagnant in Spirit rather than being focused and sharp. The Unnoticeable & undetected "lust of this world". 

Being satisfied with things in the world and not wanting to try to make them better. Apathetic a feeling of not having much emotion or interest. So when we get complacent we fail to even see we need to work on improvements, rather we are satisfied with what we have. We have lost the desire to move deeper. We fail to seek the Lord, we stop calling out to the deep. We stop calling on the Lord because everything we have captivates the mind, the mind occupies the soul & Spirit of mankind. 

Ecclesiastical 10:18- By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.

There is nine keys in God's word that show forth a plan and format for a very fruitful life. 
(2 Peter 1:5-8)
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Are we chasing God's will with diligence? 

Diligence is haste to carry out something, to promote or get done. Are we hasteful in pursuing Christ? Are we earnestly seeking Him? 
Proverbs 4:23-Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Pro. 10:4-He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

The Word shares with us through Peter that there is a degeneration presented in the world. This is a word clearly for the body. Those who love God, know God and have a fire blazing there is assignment against you. 
Those who are truly stagnant look to challenge or correct others and never themselves because they have become blind to their need for own improvements. This is a ploy from the enemy! 

The degenerative assignment has to do with the culture growing at such a rate. It takes us more away from God and more to creation. 
Degeneration means: phthora the root word from phtheirō which I found interesting because this is action is causes. 1.to lead away a Christian church from that state of knowledge and holiness in which it ought to abide
Phthora is steam from the seed of phtheiro:
corruption, destruction, perishing, that which is subject to corruption, what is perishable
*in the Christian sense, eternal misery in hell
*in the NT, in an ethical sense, corruption i.e. moral decay.

In contrast to what many modern churches teach. We can move out of the state of holiness  and out of the state of God's knowledge. It's called Lukewarm. Falling away from Our First Love, Which is Our God, Thy Lord Jesus Christ! 
The Spirit of error comes over a church and leaves them into a complacent operating state. The focus for grabbing for the Mark has faded! 

In these last days we must literally have a passionate love relationship with Our Lord! He would rather us be cold than lukewarm. He can see if your striving but struggling. He knows your heart during the temptations. However if your not trying at all just falling willing to sensual feelings of the flesh be reminded that their is no longer a sacrifice for your willingness to sin. Hebrews 10:24- For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

Jesus Christ is the Lamb for our sins! So if we constantly look for him to save us through our unwillingness to live Holy for him then we have got it all backwards. It is a covenant with a mutual understanding and agreement with terms and conditions. Don't be drunk with Babylon wine that tells you it's okay to be where your at, adjust to it and embrace it. If t stops you from carrying out God's Kingdom coming to Earth get rid of it!
