Why shouldn't we be God?

"Why shouldn't we be God?" I believe is the blasphemous question the evil heart inquires, many times with the assistance of Satan. Its not only because God knows all, is all powerful, and omniscient, but because possibly one thing we lack the most even if we were to have these "God" like attributes.

That one thing we lack is love.... Could you possibly be a more loving ruler of the universe than God is? No you can't. Because you didn't create yourself or anybody else, therefore you don't have the capacity or ever will to love as much as God loves! He loves you with a unfailing never ending love, as you creator, and you his creature. As a perfect heavenly Father and you his child. He loves you so much he came and died for someone like you, who bears his image yet deviated from his likeness. He did that because he loved you. He can wipe you out, and perhaps that is what you would have done with man. But he chose to love. Love love love! His love is the greatest most incommunicable attribute. Love is most perfectly defined as the underlying reason of God's grace. It is his love! We know it the least, practice it the least, share it the least, believe it the least. Love means God is such an awesome ruler that even when you rebelled against him and had no way to reconcile with him, he sent Jesus to open a door of opportunity for humans to be reconciled back to him. Love is given freely, expect nothing in return. Love adores, love cherishes. Love doesn't quit or fail, it endures!

Love is what changes our heart to Jesus! Love is the reason why we give up our self! When we realize God's love, that is what compels us to him. Oh how he loves us! His love changes are hearts. Great is his love! No one can love like him! No one can has been sinned against more than him, and no one has forgiven more than him. You murdered him when he came to Earth, but he cried out to you for your forgiveness! He forgives you, if you would just realize how ugly your sins are, how bloody your hands are drenched with his blood.

God's love is this great, though he is king, ruler, creator of the Universe, although you choose to rebel against him, and declared yourself God, ruler of your own life, he has great compassion on you seeing how blind you are to your own blindness, how bent you are in your own destruction.

Glory to the Lord who is great in mercy, we have no right to replace, neither could be we a better ruler, or king over our own lives, than he is! For he has made us! His hands have fashioned us, and his breath gives us life!

What is the Good News?

The central message of the Bible is this:

That humans have committed cosmic treason against God, and their sins are red as crimson, in thought, motive, and deed, but God the Father in his great mercy, wishing not that any should perish, sent his Son into history as the man Jesus Christ, and carried out God's moral laws perfectly. He was betrayed and killed so that by his death, all of our sins would be transferred to him, and all of his righteousness would come to us. And God the Father showed Christ's righteousness and his miraculous power when he resurrected Him from the dead. He now offers his righteousness to all who would place their faith in Him! A narrow door, a window of light in a world of darkness, an access-way, a passage has opened for you! And many of you will say "I am righteous in my sight", but God says your righteousness is filthy menstrual rags. The human species has collectively and individually broken all the moral laws that God had put in there consciences, they could be left to condemnation, and all would die and perish, sentenced to eternal torment. But God is rich in mercy and close to the brokenhearted, and if you feel the weight of your sins, holding you down, give them to Jesus, and receive eternal salvation of your soul. For what benefit is it for a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul!

Do Not Get Sidetracked From Your Mission!

Alright guys, today the Holy Spirit has taught me another important thing about ministry, that I am overjoyed to share with everyone, although it might be convicting to some of us, and it was especially to me, this is healthy for the chastisement of the Saints and the building up of character and expanding God's mission.

Here we go:

DON'T GET SIDETRACKED FROM YOUR MISSION!

This is super important in life, as we know, we are on mission for God, and we like the call it our "ministry" but that term holds many connotations, so I am calling it your mission, because that is exactly what it is. You are on Earth right now because you have a mission to complete, and your character needs to be molded through the process....in order to shape your character you will encounter trials and temptations, but they will force your bad habits out of you and will ultimately force you to rely on God your Father to make it through the fiery fires (of trials).

WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH GETTING SIDETRACKED!

Well sometimes when we make it through a large trial in life, we receive new gifts from God which will empower us be on mission for God. Sometimes God withholds certain talents and gifts necessary for you to complete your mission, so that you do not get side-tracked.

Let me explain further! This is going to be a long post so buckle up and put your thinking cap on if you want to experience spiritual growth.

The world from when you were a little child has told you that you need a "dream" and that you must strive to accomplish your dream at all costs, and that people who are most happy are the ones who have accomplished there dreams. Society tells us that the best people are visionaries, giving up there whole lives for there dreams. That in fact being a visionary is a sort of talent that you can help make the world better as long as you focus all your energies and reach your goal. This may offend some of you but I can confidently tell you that THIS IS A BUNCH OF RUBBISH.

Your probably thinking right now, Bako, how can you say that? Didn't Martin Luther King have a dream, wasn't he a Christian, loved Jesus, and ultimately sacrificed himself for a good cause?

I want everyone one of you to know something very important, SATAN has hijacked being a visionary, and a dreamer, and your personal dream, is TAINTED BY SIN.

Let me further expound on this idea....THIS WILL OFFEND MANY OF YOU!

YOUR DREAMS OF SAVING THE WORLD ARE COMPLETELY ABSURD.....YOU CANNOT EVER SAVE THE WORLD!!!!!

Jesus has already saved the world, you are his disciple, that means your are on mission to spread the Good News about the gospel. God enables you to do this by giving everyone a unique talent and mission, where they can use there gifts in that specific section of the world to tell them about SALVATION THAT COMES FROM JESUS.

Your probably still offended.....that's okay.....let me say that for the record.

YOU NEED TO START LOOKING AT THE WORLD THROUGH THE EYES OF JESUS!!!

What does this mean? World hunger? Global Climate Change? World Economic Breakdown? Malaria, Cancer, Mental Illness, AIDS, Slavery, Sex Trafficking.......

DO YOU HAVE A DREAM THAT YOU WILL SOLVE THESE WORLD PROBLEMS?

DO YOU THINK THAT IF YOU CAN JUST GET GOD ON YOUR SIDE, HE WILL HELP YOU SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS?

Have you every thought maybe if God just gives me certain talents, and abilities, wisdom, and knowledge....we can save the world.......? I hope its becoming clear what the problem with thinking this is!!!!!!!!

WHOOOO ARE YOU TRYING TO SAVE THE WORLD FROM!!!!!!!!!

ISN'T GOD IN CHARGE??????

DOESN'T HE KNOW EVERYTHING?

DO YOU THINK HE IS TOO WEAK TO SAVE THE WORLD HIMSELF?

OR DO YOU WANT HIM TO USE YOU? BECAUSE THAT IS "YOUR" DREAM...and ITS A GOOD "DREAM" LET ME JUST GET GOD ON MY SIDE....and GOD CAN DO SOMETHING GREAT WITH THIS GREAT IDEA..................ANNNNNNH *BUZZZER* *BEEP* *BEEB* *BEEB* *BEEB* *BEEB* *BEEB* *BEEB*..............

YOUR WRONG!!!!

Today you have an assignment from God to do his will on Earth......GOD HAS ALREADY SAVED THE WORLD....and is SAVING THE WORLD....and he had PROMISED TO SAVE IT DURING THE FALL IN THE GARDEN.......HE HAS INCLUDED "YOU" in HIS PLAN.....and if you don't want to be part of his plan then you really don't have Jesus, his death on the cross means nothing to you, and you are a completely lost soul......

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING...GOD HAD A PLAN TO ADDRESS SLAVERY in AMERICA, IT WAS THROUGH ABRAHAM LINCOLN......

GOD HAD A PLAN TO ADDRESS RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN AMERICA, AND THAT WAS THROUGH MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR....

BUT I WANT YOU TO SEE THE BIG PICTURE........THESE INDIVIDUALS BOTH POINTED TO JESUS AS THE EXIT STRATEGY. THEIR FAITH IN GOD AND HIS SOVEREIGN PLAN IS WHAT ENABLED THEM. IT COSTED BOTH OF THEM THEIR LIVES.

YOU SEE TODAY GOD HAS A SOLUTION, AND HE WANTS YOU TO BE PART OF HIS PLAN....IF YOU WOULD JUST GIVE UP YOUR PLANS, AND ACCEPT HIS ASSIGNMENT FOR YOU....BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T THERE WILL BE DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES FOR YOU JUST LIKE THERE WAS FOR JONAH.

God's plan has always been this!!!!!! LISTEN TO WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN WHAT GOD'S PLAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN :

Ephesians 1:5~Lets read it together...

His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. And this gave him great pleasure.

ARE YOU ON TRACK WITH GOD'S PLAN?

Here is how you can check....

ARE YOUR TALENTS ABILITIES RESOURCES AND TIME BEING DEVOTED TO (NOW THIS IS YOUR PLAN) COMMUNICATING JESUS CHRIST TO [WHATEVER TARGET AUDIENCE GOD HAS GIVEN YOU] ?

Don't you know that you can stop sick people from dying, stop hungry people from starving, stop glaciers from melting, stop terrorist attacks, stop economic collapse, greatly improve the quality of life on Earth but you will have done everything in VAIN.

IN VAIN. ALL IS VANITY. ALL SUCH STRIVING IS VANITY. STOP LISTENING TO THE WORLDLY PROPHETS THAT ARE TELLING YOU THAT IF YOU CONCOCTS A CURE FOR AIDS YOU WILL HAVE ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING.......LET ME SAY THIS....YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED NOTHING.......NIKOLA TESLA ELECTRIFIED THE WHOLE PLANET......BUT HE DIDN'T ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING.......IF HIS ACTIONS DIDN'T RESULT IN POINTING TO JESUS CHRIST.

HOW CAN WE SAVE ANYONE THEN? THE ANSWER IS YOU CAN'T, YOU SIMPLY CANNOT DO ANYTHING APART FROM SHARING THE COMPLETED WORK OF JESUS CHRIST, AS WITNESS IN YOUR LIFE.....BECAUSE MLK WORKED IN VANITY, AND ABRAHAM LINCOLN WORKED IN VANITY, IF SOMEONE DOESN'T SEE THAT IT WAS CHRISTS FRUITION AND FOR THE SAKE OF THE GOSPEL, TO EXPOSE THE EVILS OF THE WORLD BUT BY SHINING A LIGHT TO JESUS!!!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO CONVINCE ANYONE THAT THE WORLD IS FULL OF EVIL.....MOST PEOPLE KNOW IT.....BUT ONCE YOU PROPOSE A SOLUTION....THATS WHEN PEOPLE GET HOSTILE......BECAUSE JESUS MESSES UP PEOPLES DREAMS BECAUSE HE SAYS "[I AM] IN CHARGE" "YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING APART FROM ME".....

That rattles a bunch of people who want to be in charge, and think that they can find there own solution to sin!!! That's why the world today is full of sin treatment centers....let me tell you friend, DO NOT GO OPEN UP ANOTHER WORLDLY SIN TREATMENT CENTER........THE ONLY CURE FOR SIN IS JESUS CHRIST......LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY DREAM...MY DREAM IS THE FULFILL THE FATHER'S WILL FOR ME.....THAT IS MY DREAM....HIS PURPOSE FOR ME TO THE BRING ME TO HIMSELF THROUGH HIS SON JESUS CHRIST.

GOD USES YOU AS HE MAKES YOU MORE LIKE JESUS. GOD CAN USE YOU TODAY TO BRING PEOPLE TO JESUS.... THAT'S REAL SALVATION.

YOU WANT TO SAVE THE WORLD? DID YOU FORGET THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN SAVE YOURSELF? TODAY ACCEPT GOD'S SAVING GRACE BECAUSE I ASSURE YOU THAT YOU CANNOT SAVE YOURSELF OR ANYONE ELSE.

THIS IS GOING TO SOUND VERY HARSH.....THE WORLD WILL HATE YOU FOR THIS BUT THIS IS THE WILL OF THE FATHER.....

EVEN IF YOU STOPPED THE TWIN TOWERS FROM COLLAPSING....EVEN IF YOU HAD....YET DURING JUDGEMENT ALL THOSE PEOPLE ARE SENT TO ETERNAL DAMNATION.....WHAT GOOD HAVE YOU DONE, BROTHER WHAT HAVE YOU ACCOMPLISHED! I TELL YOU THIS ~ YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED NOTHING.

Don't ever think that God is too weak to save, he is mighty to save, but his salvation is not saving us FOR this world, it is saving us FROM this world. Flip your perspectives.

And some of us suffer from my ministry syndrome. This is when you think you are helping people meet God, and you have all these ideas and they all fail. Always remember God doesn't need your ideas, God has a plan already. God provides you ideas, that is his plan, for you to commit to. This is what you signed up for, this is what it means to carry your Cross? You are not saved FROM the World, For the World! But you are saved FROM the World, FOR eternity, FOR Jesus.

Start living on Mission for Christ. Don't try to give God your ideas for ministry, receive his plan, which is your mission on this Earth.

DON'T LET YOUR IDEAS SIDE TRACK YOU.

DON'T LET YOUR SPIRITUAL GIFTS BE USED FOR ANYTHING BESIDES JESUS!

DON'T WASTE YOUR TALENTS AND ABILITIES GOD GIVES YOU TO SPREAD JESUS ON YOUR OWN PLAN.

DON'T LET THESE THINGS SIDE TRACK YOU.

LET ME TELL YOU TODAY YOU HAVE A SOVEREIGN CHOICE TO REJECT YOUR ASSIGNMENT AS A MEMBER OF THE BODY OF CHRIST. YOU WILL BE SOVEREIGNLY DISCIPLINED BY GOD'S GOOD GRACE TO RETURN YOU TO HIS WILL AND PLAN....

I WARN YOU IT IS A TERRIBLE THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD.

KNOWING THIS DON'T TRAMPLE THE LOVE, THE GIFTS, THE POWER, HE HAS GIVEN YOU TO PROFESS CHRIST BY FOLLOWING YOUR OWN PLAN AND DOING YOUR OWN THING, BY TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH YOUR SECRET DREAM, AND TRYING TO BE A VISIONARY FOR GOD....HOW ABOUT DOING THE OPPOSITE, WHY DON'T YOU RECEIVE YOUR DREAM OR VISION FROM GOD. IT WILL BE MUCH BETTER AND MUCH MORE SUCCESSFUL THAT YOUR OWN IDEAS EVER WILL.

GOD WILL HOLD BACK TALENTS, THAT HE KNOWS YOU NEED TO PERFORM THE ASSIGNMENT HE HAS GIVEN YOU UNTIL YOU ARE DEVOTED TO USING THESE GIFTS FOR HIS ASSIGNMENT.

SOME HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED TALENTS, WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE, POWER FROM HEAVEN AND THEY ARE BLUNDERING IT ALL ON USELESS PERSONAL AGENDAS.

THEREFORE DO NOT BE SIDE-TRACKED. NOT FROM GROWING IN CHRIST OR FROM MISSION FOR CHRIST.

I KNOW THAT FOR SOME THIS MAY HAVE BEEN HARD TO SWALLOW. BUT I HOPE WE ALL GET TO SEE OUR MISSION AND ASSIGNMENT MORE CLEARLY AS WE EXPOSE WHAT IS TRYING TO SIDETRACK YOU. REMEMBER YOU ARE YOUR BIGGEST ENEMY IN THIS SITUATION, YOUR ASPIRATIONS AND YOUR DESIRES ARE AT WAR WITH THE DESIRES AND ASPIRATIONS OF GOD AT WORK WITHIN YOU THROUGH HIS SPIRIT.

THEREFORE DO NOT GRIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT BY THE WAY YOU LIVE.

TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO ACCEPT OUR ASSIGNMENT TO BE LIKE JESUS.

Don't Hesitate to message, comment, discuss, debate, as is healthy for the building of the body, "for there must be divisions (that is in thought) among you so that you who have God's approval will be recognized!"

Peace and Blessings to you all!

God is our Father

For The Men:

Today a lot of us may call God our Father, and we have simply given him this title out of a genuine reverence, but I wish that all would take that a step further and consider what this also implies, that you are God's son, and he in fact calls you that, "my son". That God, addresses by what he sees you as in Christ, "his son".

1 John 3:1 says "see what kind of love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God, and so we are" !!!!

Wow, what powerful implications, what deep convictions, I hope that not only make us realize our depravity before Christ but "the Glory of which we are called to- In Christ!" (1 Peter 5:10)

John further expounds the topic and says "Beloved (loved by God), we are God's children now.....and we know that....we shall be like him."

Paul says in Romans the exact same thing! "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God; and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may also he glorified with him." and also "all who are led by the spirit of God are "sons" of God." And we have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry "Abba! Father!"

And Paul to the Galatians says "for in Christ you are all sons of God, through faith"

Now since we believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and we also believe the word of God, that testifies that Jesus "is not ashamed of calling us brothers"

we as men need to likewise realize that God calls us by the title he sees us as "my son". What a affectionate and loving title, one that also speaks of the almighty as their Father, a protective father. He is a helicopter parent and is always by your side.

Psalm 82 says you are "sons of the Most high" and Jesus insists in the Gospel of John that this very passage is Scripture, and "cannot be broken"!

Therefore if the Lord cares enough for you to die in your place to then call you brother, you must live in the light of your sonship with God. This means that you are a reflector of the Glory of God, one that God remarkably, though we are unworthy, wishes to enjoy eternity with. Jesus the eternal, omnipotent Creator of the universe loves us so much, he even calls us his friends. That we are his friend! Did you ever stop and think that God says you are his friend? Today you should, yes today you should think about your actions! Today you should reflect more of God's glory you have received in Jesus.

John in compassion for his brothers declares "Little children [of God], let no one deceive you....whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God......no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. "

So today God is telling every single one of us:

"My son, I want your path to be correct before me.."

and today we want our path to be correct before our Father, and we have the helper, counselor, comforter, advocate, guide, intercessor, and teacher, which is the Spirit of God actively giving us a grace empowered LIFE. For before being enlightened (by the light of Christ), we were dead in our sins, now we have to recognize God if we claim to be of him!

I pray that tomorrow when you want to talk about school, sports, politics or world news, gossip about friends or family, we remember our true friend Jesus and our true Father wishes that our ways be correct before him.

Spiritual Pride: The Sin of the Devil

He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil. (1 Timothy 3:6)

Here is 5 signs that says that you are in Spiritual Pride, and you need to repent, or you will DESTROY yourself.

1. New Believer. Apostle Paul says to Timothy, not to appoint New Believers to the position of elder. The Greek word, which occurs nowhere else in the New Testament, means, properly, that which is "newly planted." Thus it would mean a plant that was not strong, or not fitted to bear the severity of storms; that had not as yet struck its roots deep, and could not resist the fierceness of a cold blast.

Usually this individual believes he is strong, and is fed by the pride the devil incites in him, that he is able to do this, that he does much work for God, and he is capable. His argument is that "but the Bible says, young men, you are strong, you have overcome". What a better way for you to twist scripture, to make yourself think you are strong apart from God and the ministry of the Holy Spirit. All the lies of the devil. Isaiah 40:30 says "young men will stumble and fall". Watch out young man, lest you stumble and fall!

2. Unable to accept criticism. This is a major sign of Spiritual Pride, if you cannot accept criticism, it also shows that you are under the impression that you don't need criticism, thereby think extremely highly of yourself. Thinking highly of yourself means you are PROUD. (Proverbs 9:8) "Rebuke a scoffer, and he will hate you, Rebuke a wise man and he will love you." Usually when a criticism is not taken with love, that individual is usually in pride. I say usually because there is extreme cases, but these are far less likely than others. WHAT "USUALLY" HAPPENS WHEN YOU THINK THAT THE PERSON CRITICIZING YOU HAS NO PLACE TO SPEAK. THAT'S PRIDE!

3. Discredits other believers. This individual is consumed in himself, and does not like to see other believers be appreciated or credited for being faithful to God and performing the ministry that the Holy Spirit does through them. In fact, without knowledge he is directly working against God, and attempts to demean the teaching of others.

4. Falsely receives praise from the labors of others faithful to Christ. This is also called taking credit, for the work of others. IT IS EASY TO TELL WHO IS ON FIRE FOR GOD!

IF YOU STILL LISTEN TO WORLDLY MUSIC, it is likely you haven't fully come out of the world. You should seriously consider whether you are really fit to be a leader of God's people wile you still mingle in the affairs of the God of this world....the devil. If you still think you are fit for leadership, and think you can just carry the world into the House of God's people.....you are severely mistaken. That is Spiritual Pride. You may think you are leading, but the Holy Spirit is ministering through other faithful believers, and you think that organizing the event means that you are the leader. This is untrue. This is when a leader is less spiritually mature, then his right hand man, yet refuses to acknowledge it, and goes to great lengths to point out his flaws knowing that the other is a tender conscience. The faithful brother who has a tender conscience, receives reproof gladly and keeps his humble position, not seeking a leadership role or what others may think of as a glorious position.

5. Lastly it is encouraging everyone to serve in the most humble way, yet never truly serving. This means neglecting to "wash the feet of the saints" (1 Timothy 5:10), this means that this individual thinks they are serving by authoritatively organizing, what he falsely believes to be leading. This is another form a Spiritual Pride.

Now you may be wondering why I am singling out leaders, it is because Spiritual Pride in leadership has the most devastating effects, because it is a cancer that spreads if it is not rebuked.

Revelation 3:19 "Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent."

Psalm 141:5 says "Let a righteous man strike me--it is a kindness; let him rebuke me--it is oil on my head. My head will not refuse it. "

Can you take rebuke like King David? Can you handle rebuke the way he does?

Hebrews 12:6 For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.”

Proverbs 3:12 for the LORD reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights.

Proverbs 15:12 "A mocker resents correction; he will not consult the wise."

Proverbs 19:25 "Flog a mocker, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke a discerning man, and he will gain knowledge."

REPENT
AND GOD WILL BLESS YOU.

Job 5:17 "Blessed is the man whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty."

The Discerning of Spirits

Hello Brothers, and fellow saints, I feel like God has burdened my heart to share with you something I have been seeing consecutively with many believers, that which is that many believers are not growing in their faith because of stumbling blocks they cannot overcome.

These stumbling blocks are very deceptive, they are not obvious or easy to discern, instead they require us to use the maximum discernment we have possible so that we could grow closer to the one who has called us to share in his glory. The stumbling blocks that I have seen have devastatingly parasitic effects to spiritual growth on those who place their faith in them.

Brothers here is how you can tell if you are under the bondage of one of these stumbling blocks for their are many and they are diverse so you must ask God to reveal them to you so that you may overcome and conquer and not be proud of a false faith.

You are denying something in your life that could very well possibly be true and good but it seems dangerous and you have heard whispers that this is bad and some have even sternly warned you that this is from the enemy, so you don't feel confident enough to embrace it. How do you know if this a blessing from God or a lie of the devil?

First you must make certain this something is in line with reality. That it is real and not temporary.
Second you need to ask yourself is it leading to THE JESUS OF THE BIBLE.
Third, you need to pray to God to reveal to you his truth in his mercy, you being a doubter of his truth, but have always received it by his grace.
Fourth, you need to do solitary Bible reading of relevant passages with no outside commentary so that you can here the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking to you. Remember the Holy Spirit
A. Testifies of Jesus
B. Convicts world of sin
C. Brings you to repentance
D. Is regenerating you to full stature of Jesus.

In other words you need to ask this simple question, does it lead of Jesus? The right Jesus, The true Jesus, not a false one, that disciplines and rebukes those he loves. If the answer is yes, then you need to embrace the truth and put off presuppositions or you are disobeying God and are relying on a dangerously comfortable and lukewarm faith that may very well be slowly destroying you.

Remember that Jesus is the truth, so to deny the truth is to deny Jesus. If that is not a stern enough warning Jesus says that God seeks those who worship him in spirit & in truth, that he is the truth, the way, and the life, that God's word is truth, and that he is the Word of God.

Therefore let the truth be your breastplate and you will not fear lies anymore, your faith wont be shaky because you have embraced the truth, and it has set you free! You can boldly declare to your friends without fear "this is the truth" and yell "God has shown me". So let us stop denying the one who blesses those he loves, and has blessed all believers in Christ.

The contrary is devastating, isolating, leads to pride, and a false assurance in things not true. It is simple, if you reject something that is pointing to Jesus, then you are rejecting Jesus. God tells Jeremiah that "its not you they are rejecting, they are rejecting me". The same applies to you.

The opposite would be something that fills with hopelessness.
Something that is not glorifying Jesus or pointing to him.
Something that ignores Gods words in the Bible or adjusts them to fit their view.
Something that runs toward behavior modification but doesn't deal with the heart
Something that is solely the work of man apart from the sovereign grace of God, empowering the believer.

In all matters seek the word of God for your truth, and take time to here what the Holy Spirit says to you, and don't run from it because you don't like it.

The devil wants to lie to as many believers as possible and attribute to himself what is clearly from God. What I am saying is that the devil will lie to someone and tell them something is demonic, even though its in the Bible and points to Jesus and its for the glory of God, and is beneficial to the believer. This is a huge stunt in spiritual growth, because now you cannot equip yourself with what God wants because you keep denying him on a basis of a lie that demons are holding you hostage and scarred of. Break free of those bonds by praying to Jesus, reading your Bible and asking serious questions that your loving father in heaven wants to answer.

May the grace of God be with you all.
