1 Peter 1-5
What God said to me – You were chosen to be My child and to be sanctified by the work of My Spirit in your life. If you want to grow in respect to salvation, you must put aside the things of the world that draw you away from holiness and devote time to study My word. There are things that are necessary in order to live in the world and to prosper but you spend so much of your time on things with no eternal value or consequence. Turn off your television and put down your frivolous reading and open My word more – pray more – seek Me more – minister to others more. Time spent in My word will prepare your mind for action and it will keep your focus where it needs to be.
