Don't Let Your Attention Wander ...

No matter what is going on around you in this world, focus your mind's attention on God! 
Look neither to the right nor to the left. Keep your eyes upon Jesus! Isaiah 26:3

This is no time to let your attention wander off into rabbit trails. I mean that we should keep our eyes on Jesus and be about the work He has called us to do. The enemy of our souls is laughing at us when we take the bait he puts out there. His bait? Anything that uses up our time and turns our focus away from Jesus and what we should be doing for Him.
Who is the Anti-Christ?
What is up with this Mandela Effect?
What are the political plans taking place behind the scenes in different countries?
What is the fate of our nation?
Any other topic that steals our thoughts and/or our time. 

In addition to the attention-bait, there are continuous real-time attacks. This involves assignments against God's children by spirits of deception, discouragement, division. We are in error when we entertain unforgiveness, hate, pride, envy in our spirits and the list of what we allow in our lives goes on and on. There are many watchmen that have apparently closed up shop and left their posts. Does that sound inconceivable to you? It shouldn't. When you consider the watchmen are on the front line - the Take Point person - using a military term. Please don't let our Savior down! If you have left your post or feel lukewarm or are distracted, please know that all of us are battling and we need to pray for one another that we would stay strong in the Lord and in the power of His Might!

I am not saying that we should not pursue knowledge. I am saying it should not consume us to the detriment of our calling in Christ Jesus. There are things we don't need to know to do our work ... these are the things Holy Spirit will show us are extraneous if we ask Him to. Please, if He shows you an area that needs repentance, immediately repent and let it go! There is no time for any other course of action.
