Little OnesWritten by Joyce C. Lock
Continued from page 1
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known Father. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in world. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

Continued from page 1
Obedience is not something we are born with and it is certainly not something that can be achieved under law; Hebrews 7:19. It is a tool of survival that is 'learned' in valley of hard knocks, Hebrews 5:8-9. In spirit world, there are only two forces. One is good; other is evil. There is no third option. I repeat, there is no third option. Obeying God results in blessings and all else results in a curse, Deuteronomy 11:26. Every choice comes with a consequence, be it positive or negative, Galatians 6:7. Obedience is a conscious and deliberate choice to stop dead in one's tracks for purpose of, immediately, seeking God's direction, then to follow it; as that is only path Satan cannot defeat. Then, once we begin to see benefits, we finally actually get it and obedience truly becomes our choice. (God is not a dictator. He is our protector.) Only then do we begin to grow into spiritual maturity as we, finally, realize it is a joy to obey and we choose to seek God more; for protection in everything! © 2004 by Joyce C.
