God forbid we separate ourselves from Him.

Rom 8:35  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 
Rom 8:36  As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 
Rom 8:37  Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 
Rom 8:38  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 
Rom 8:39  Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. 

We read this, but do we know this in our hearts?
The love of Christ is ALL important.
Can ANYONE or ANYTHING separate us from our Savior?  The only thing that can separate us- is ourselves. 
Satan will try everything, and I do mean everything to break our bond to our Savior, but in the end only we can break that bond.  Satan will use deception to separate us from Christ, he'll be so subtle many people won't even know they've been separated. 

Tribulations will come.
Distress and persecution will attack us.
Famine, nakedness, peril and swords will be used against those who follow Christ.
Christ followers are being killed all the day long, and every Christian is counted as a sheep for slaughter.  With all these awful painful, frightening evil attacks we can know that we are secure in Christ through them all!
Death won't separate us from Christ's love.
Life won't separate us. Angels won't separate us. Principalities won't separate us. Powers won't separate us. Nothing present and nothing in the future can take our Savior from us. No height, no depth, no creatures will take the Savior's love from us, our God's love from us, through Jesus Christ our Lord!

We HAVE to keep the love of God in us and never, ever lose it!

Knowing that nothing can separate us from God's love - how is it that many will be deceived into separation?

Hearing that NOTHING can separate us we have to realize that what is being said is NOTHING outside of ourselves will separate us from the love of God.  Just believing nothing can separate us doesn't mean you can't be separated or else no one would believe they are Christ's only to end up not being Christ's.

Mat 7:21  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 
Mat 7:22  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 
Mat 7:23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

We can separate ourselves.

Please, Father God, please let us never separate ourselves from you! Please!  Special prayers for one who is hurting tragically, be her strength, please, LORD, be her strength! So many, so, so many are desperate for YOU.

Come, Lord Jesus, come!
