Let’s begin by defining the word ‘faithful’. Faithful is being loyal to an idea, a promise, an organization, a friend, a spouse, or God. Paul tells us in 2 Tim 2:2 “and the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others.” Only a faithful person can be trusted. If you give your word to someone and they can count on it, and you keep it, you have proven yourself to be trustworthy. If you break your promise you have proven to be untrustworthy. God is keeping track of how well you keep your word. If you have not been keeping your promises repent deeply before God, and let your life shine with the difference. There’s so many things God expects us to be faithful in. Let’s enumerate a few of them.

1…loving everyone, including our enemies.
2…praying for God’s will, and praying for God’s kingdom to advance and grow.
3…praying for the strength, and spiritual maturity of your brothers and sisters in Christ.
4…praying for lost souls, and backsliders to come back to Jesus.
5…paying our tithes and giving our offerings.
6…helping a brother or sister in need.
7…helping a lost person find Christ.
8…showing the love of Jesus to the unsaved in practical ways.
9…obeying God’s Word in everything.
10..repenting daily, if necessary, of every sin and offense to God.

Every time you read the Word, you make a choice. Either you will continue to love rebellion and walk after the flesh and the ways of Satan, or you will come to the light (obedience) and love the Lord and the ways of God and be perfected in holiness. If you have a stubborn heart, you will shrink back from the Word of God and choose to continue to live in fleshly rebellion.

It is only through the Word showing us the motives of our hearts that we are ever able to turn from sin and walk in righteousness. It is only as the Word divides spirit from soul and flesh that we learn to hear the Holy Spirit speak to us. We can then turn aside from fleshly religion to walk before the Lord in holiness and purity, putting to death all the deeds of the flesh: “As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts (of the flesh) which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves in all your behavior; because it is written, ‘You shall be holy, for I am holy’” (IPet. 1:14-16.)   ‘The Great Falling Away Today’ / Milton Green

Lorretta Blasingame suffered two heart attacks and died in the doctor’s office. He pronounced her dead. When I died I saw myself coming out of my body and going up through the clouds and the next thing I saw was two beautiful gates open up and I entered heaven. Then I saw Jesus standing with out strectched arms for me to come to Him.
He gave me a lot of instructions and told me – that more people would miss heaven because of not having love one toward another – than any other sin on earth.

He said He would let me see heaven, and my mansion. I saw my baby brother, and my grandmother. He told me many people have ministries and every ministry is important.
He said, “Some ministries are called just to bring in a few people – but I have called you to bring in the multitudes into the kingdom, and pray for the people that the doctors can’t help.

I asked if I could put my head on His bosom – He smiled and put his hand on his chest, and said, “I’m sending you back to earth. Bring the multitudes and masses into the kingdom. I want you to bring them from hell into heaven, and then you can put your head on my bosom anytime you want to. (Loretta’s book, “Is There Anybody Up There”?)
