Lessons from a dream

I had a dream today (16th Sept 2014) and I just felt the LORD showed me a lot of things. God told me to share this so I jotted some of the things down and then backed it up with Scripture as led by God.

1. Bad company will ruin your walk with God which can make you backslide and hinder your walk with God and if you are not moving forward in your walk with God you are treading a dangerous path so pray about striving towards God and for any obstacles to be removed from your life.

1 Corinthians 15:33 
Do not be misled. "Bad company corrupts good character."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2. Don't take for granted what you have been given it can all be taken away in a matter of seconds. Make up in your mind you will serve God because He is the only one who doesn't change. I know this can be hard, but our circumstances and emotions should not determine our walk with God. (This one convicts me so much!)

2 Timothy 4:2
Preach the word; be prepared in and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage-with great patience and careful instruction.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3. Test all things and use God's word to guide you. Pray for the Holy Spirit to guide you and to convict you of the things that don't please Him and follow His leading as it is true and sincere and derived from the word of God.

Ephesians 6:18
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.

Galatians 5:16
So I say walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

4. Read and remain in the word of God because all God's laws are true and sincere.

2 Timothy 3:16
All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in all righteousness
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

5. Stand up for Jesus even if you are standing alone, do not try to please the crowd because this leads to idolatry and leads to putting people before God. Evil days are among us but reject evil and stay firm in the faith.

Ephesians 5:16
making the most of every opportunity because the days are evil.

Matthew 7:21
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

6. Flee from lust and useful passions. This isn't easy because it seems as the majority of the world are promoting lust and engaging in sexual activity and it can be hard for teens and young adults especially but we are called to be different. And I want you to be encouraged by the verse below and the fact that this world is SO temporary and God is so faithful He will keep you if you let Him keep striving to Him and keep praying to Him, He hears every one of them.

Matthew 7:13-14
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow is the way that leads to life and only few find it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
