0h God


 We call our to God when we are in trouble, it's a crisis or something horrific happens. God help us.

 We blame God when things happen and go wrong, or if someone dies. Some getting mad and even hating God because of things happening in their lives.

 I never rarely hear someone say - that devil is going to pay for that.
Or the devil is hard at work here ...

 To believe in one you must believe in the other. 

They co exist. 

 People need to stop blaming God for the devil's work.

 Why didn't God help me?

 Are you living in a life of sin expecting God to take care of you?

 God promised to take care of those that believe in Him, Serve Him and live as sin free as they possibly can.

 God didn't promise to protect sinners. He promised to forgive them.

 Jesus died on the cross so we could be forgiven, and He shown us how to walk sin free, pleasing God.

 He didn't die - so you could sin Monday thru Saturday and get saved on Sunday - just so you could wake up Monday and do it again.

 Go and sin no more.

 So before someone says what did God do for me, I would ask 

What have you done for God lately?

Can it be done?

 

Years ago, like 30 plus years ago.... I had a conversation with one of my cousins about the ability to live like Christ in today's world (30 years ago). She felt it was impossible to live without sin and live like Christ to perfection.

 While I agree we are far from perfect. 
I have found scriptures that tell us how to be more like Christ and even more scriptures that say we can have the same powers to heal that Jesus exercised while here.

 What we lack is the faith in believing it possible. The will to put down the wants of the flesh and to step away from the things we know are ungodly.

 We look to science to prove God; Rather than search our hearts to feel God.

 I've been deep in Ephesians the past couple days. One God, one Spirit, one church and one body of Christ.

 Telling of the tools and teaching left for us to follow. We are supposed to be able to look to the evangelist, the pastor, the teachers - to show us the way.

 And they the leaders are warned to speak the truth. Not to lead people a stray from the ways of God.

 Put down the ways of the flesh and put on the armour of the Spirit....

 Here we are 30 some years later and the Bible says the same thing. 

 So can we? Live like Christ?
