The Price for distant following...Roosters Crying Everywhere......share freely......deno.

Matthew 28:57(...but Peter followed Jesus FROM A DISTANCE...)

John 18:24-25....Authorized (King James).

24 Now Annas had sent him (Jesus) bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

25 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself (From where? From that distant position). They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not....and in another place Peter said, I know not this man.

......So many prices we pay in this world when we do wrong or when we make the bad choice, or when we become slack in our important commitments. As a Christian, following Jesus in these last days from a distance is a very serious wrong move and a very costly decision. It is a position of the heart that has been proven to give place to demonic situation set ups that the enemy sets up against us for our hurt and denials of Christ. We see nothing in the scriptures to comfort the heart that is far from the Lord in the last days, Not one. Mercy and the Spirit of Jesus always pleads every soul to NOW DRAW NIGH TO GOD and to ENTER IN before its to late..
......When Christ made his incredible Messianic visitation to his people Israel, though God was right there suddenly before them and in their presence, so many he found were giving him lots of lip service, outward appearance showings, but their hearts he found FAR FROM HIM. Such a distant following of the Lord did NO GOOD to anyone in Israel that were in captivity to that distant following, and the same DISTANT FOLLOWING OF CHRIST will not do any good to any of us today whose hearts have embraced it. Such distant following cost most of Israel their soul and left their house a house called desolation, which being interpreted means EMPTY OF GOD. Jesus because Israels heart was FAR FROM HIM, he said, Behold your house is a house of desolation. You are now empty of the Spirit of the Lord. And you shall not see Me here again, not until you learn to cry, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Friend nothing good comes from DISTANT FOLLOWING.....NOTHING.
......Jesus spoke of servants and believers that pull themselves away from the table of close knit serving and fellowship with him. The picture Jesus drew in these words have no farewell ending to the hearts of those who find DISTANT FOLLOWING comforting. Lord have mercy on us all. Here are those words below.
.......Luke 12:41-48...New King James Version (NKJV)

41 Then Peter said to Him, “Lord, do You speak this parable only to us, or to all people?”

42 And the Lord said, “Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season? 43 Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. 44 Truly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all that he has.
45 But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his return,’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and be drunk, 46 the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. 47 And that servant who knew his master’s will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 48 But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.

......Church, Jesus said either be hot or cold, but be nothing in between. He said no lukewarm following him or lukewarm serving Jesus is acceptable. Fit or unfit, good and faithful, or slacking and distant following is in our power. It is our choice..The world, powers that be in America, and political correctness are pushing at us to deny Jesus publicly. Jesus, all of heaven, and the Roosters are watching how we will respond...scroll down.

......NOTE...Since Satan was able to make those of Christ inner circle deny him though they knew him more than all and set them up by their DISTANT FOLLOWING as to deny that they even knew the Lord, let not any of us today think we are safe in following Jesus at a distance. Satan sees that distance in our hearts also and when he brings again another strong persecution against Jesus and his gospel in this world in the last days, those that follow Christ slothfully and distantly may very well deny that they know the Lord when the pressure is on. The roosters that reflect our denials of Christ may be crowing and crying out everywhere against us....Friend it is time for all of us to become HOT for Jesus in all things....Amen....deno....share freely.
