1 SAMUEL 16:7
Galatians 5:22-23
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear much fruit…” (John 15:5) The branch of a grapevine doesn’t have to strain to produce grapes . Just having the sap—which is the life blood of the tree—flowing through it, causes the branch to produce its fruit. But if the branch is detached, it’ll eventually die. The same holds true for every Christian who stays connected to Jesus. If we abide in Him, His life will flow through us and His Spirit will enable us to bear much fruit. We will truly be useful in His Kingdom. Will you draw near to Jesus and abide in Him?
GOD is in Control!
Psalm 46:10
Yes, there is a way that may seem right to our eyes but the end of that way is death, (Proverbs 14:12) a spiritual death also; for when we become friends of this world (by spending time with things that are dead) we become enemies of God. (James 4:4)
I have observed greatly how on this very site anime is praised and glorified. It is exalted as something great but beloved will you follow this too? Will you approach and seek after that which is dead, which does not fill your soul? I know and can say that colors are beautiful and very delightful; however colors on a frame or on a wall make it no more living and life changing than it was before. It may give the illusion of life and it will please your eyes for sure, but that is only it.
Anime is a parade of colors forming lines and shapes to make characters, being filled with precious colors but it is only an image. They have eyes but they do not see; ears they have but they do not hear. They have hands but they do not clap.
When Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James came to the tomb of Jesus, thinking He was still dead, there an angel met them and said to them: “Why seek ye the living among the dead?” (Luke 24:5)
Why should we seek those things in the world which we know will never fill us when we have Jesus Christ the living One? The World will always seek new and current things to fill their hearts but their hearts will never find rest; seeking and seeking but never meeting a point of contentment.
May we who follow Jesus Christ abstain from anime and from all forms of vanity that only entertain the mind but leave our soul and heart empty.
Do we know the full benefits of Jesus Christ? Do we know His Living Presence when we seek His face? How about suffering through trials? Do we after the trial feel the comforting feeling of the Holy Ghost which surpasses our understanding? May we draw closer to Christ and further from the world that we may be fully filled with the Life that is in Christ Jesus. Amen
Glory to God

There are times when we begin to work out thoughts in our minds to imagine how our work for this or that should be; and then comes the Holy Spirit upon us, pulling us away from having such thoughts.
“Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father…
