Distractions Are Deadly

 I was awakened long before dawn this morning by The Holy Spirit. He was flooding my mind and soul with a revelation on Distractions that I am sure will be as eye opening to you as it was to me. The very first words I heard Him say were, "Distractions Are Deadly."  When I inquired as to the meaning of this phrase His response was, "Distractions Lead To Detours And Detours Lead To Destruction." He said it has been this way since the beginning of time. Eve was distracted in the garden and the effects of that distraction have altered all of mankind. Sampson was distracted by Delilah and it cost him his future and the anointing of God. David was distracted by Bathsheba and fell from grace. Judas was distracted by personal gain and forsook The Lord Himself. The nation of Israel became distracted in the wilderness and an entire generation died there as a result. The list goes on and on.
 Then He revealed to me that there were those who attained greatness in His sight and in the sight of men. Abraham kept his eye on the mark. He believed against all odds and produced a son at the age of 100. That son was the beginning of a great nation. Job refused to be distracted in the face of unbelievable odds and the ridicule of his family and friends. As a result, he received double for his trouble. Noah spent 120 years preparing an ark of safety for his family and ultimately all of mankind in the midst of great persecution and ridicule. He never wavered.Stephen refused to lose his focus on sharing the love of Jesus Christ even while he was being stoned to death. And Jesus, for the joy set before Him endured the cross. As a result of this great example of staying focused you and I will spend eternity in His presence.
 There is great recompense for not allowing yourself to be distracted. Stay the course. Do not be moved.

"And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved,"
(Matthew 10:22).
