In the last post of this series, I told you how the people of Israel lived carelessly—worshiping idols and committing sexual immorality—and how these actions ultimately led to their destruction.
Child of God, I urge you: make up your mind to stand firm in the Lord and cast aside anything that can defile you.

2 Samuel 1:27 (NKJV)How the mighty have fallen, And the weapons of war perished.
In this verse, David laments the death of King Saul and his three sons, who died in battle against the Philistines on Mount Gilboa. Saul started well, seeking guidance from God. But near the end of his life, he turned away and sought help from the witch of Endor. Because of his unfaithfulness, God departed from him, and he died as if he were never anointed.
Let me share with you some key principles that will help you stand firm in faith in these end times.

Are You Born Again?
If you have not given your life to Jesus, you can seize this opportunity and give your life to Him. All you need do is be sincere and confess Him as your Lord and Saviour. Then, he will turn your life aorund for good and make you a new person.
Awesome! That's great!
Say This Prayer With Sincerity:
Lord Jesus I come to you today and know that I'm a sinner.
I repent of my sins and I confess my sins to you today (mention them).
Jesus, I accept you as my personal Lord and savior.
I promise to serve you all my days.
Beloved, Welcome to the Body of Christ!
Congrats! Now, you are part of God's family and you have the holy spirit living in you. What you need to do now is to search for a bible-believing church around you and begin to fellowship there. Also, you need to get a Bible, and read it as well as pray everyday. You are mightly loved!
