"My sheep - hear My voice and obey - they follow Me."



Compromising with worldy friends to be LIKED  - God calls it adultery and His enemy.
You adulterers! Don't you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God?   I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God. James 4:4

Seek God not what  worldly people seek -
"So stop concerning yourselves about what you will eat or what you will drink, and stop being distressed, because it is the UNBELIEVERS who are concerned about all these things. Surely your Father knows that you need them! Instead, be concerned about his kingdom, and these things will be provided for you as well.  Luke 12:29-31

Separate yourself from worldly people -
The Lord says, "Get away from unbelievers. Separate yourselves from them. Have nothing to do with anything unclean. Then I will welcome you." 2 Corinthians 6:17

Under the  influence of -  the world the flesh and the devil -
And you still aren’t ready -  for you are still controlled by your sinful nature. You are jealous of one another and quarrel with each other. Doesn’t that prove you are controlled by your sinful nature? Aren’t you living like people of the world?   1 Corinthians 3:2,3

Spiritual Adultery -
Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God.  James 4:4

Beware if the world loves you -
And everyone will hate you because you are MY FOLLOWERS. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. Mark 13:13

Those who belong to God are separated from the world -
When he has brought out all who are his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.   John 10:4

There is no fellowship between believers and non-believers -
Stop forming inappropriate relationships with unbelievers. Can right and wrong be partners? Can light have anything in common with darkness? Can Christ agree with the devil? Can a believer share life with an unbeliever?    2 Corinthians 6:14

God disciplines those that are His and they listen and learn to obey -
For it is impossible to keep on restoring to repentance time and again people who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have become partners with the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of God’s word and the powers of the coming age, and who have fallen away, as long as they continue to crucify the Son of God to their own detriment by exposing him to public ridicule.  Hebrews 6:4-6
