MAKING< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

1 John 2:1-6

Ask God to make you again. Ask Him that every area of your life that you have not been following to be redirected to following Him. Going to church every Sunday, going from prayer meeting to prayer meeting, and memorizing the word verse by verse does not mean you are following Him as He requested. Think within yourself how you have been following Him. Yes you are on the right track of following Him, but being on the right track is different from following through the rules of running the track. If you are on the right track and not following with the rules, you are a trapped believer. What does it take to follow Him? Do you care to know? Following Him is in knowing Him. Knowing the Lord is not in determination, it is not in strength or changing from one church to another. Knowing Him is in obedience to His word. 1 John 2:3-4, ÒNow by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, ÔI know Him,Õ and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in Him.ÕÓ If you have been keeping His commandments you must be clean from lying, deceiving, manipulating, or any marks of this world. God is able; He is able to carry you through the race. Ask Him if you will, and He will make you just as the potter makes and remakes his clay.
