Good morning! How are we faithing? "God told me". Oh really. God told you to divorce your wife because she doesn't make you happy anymore or get an abortion because your life doesn't have time for a baby right now. God told you to sin? Hardly. God will not tell you it's alright to sin and if you heard a voice telling you to sin then you had better remember to check the scriptures. The scriptures do tell us to check what spirit is present. The evil one can disguise himself as an angel of light to fool us. Look it up. Eve fell for deception. Adam did too and they walked and talked with God so what makes you thing the great deceiver wont mess with you? Look guys, if you are seeking God and things seem to get worse, why are you surprised? They killed Jesus. I've always heard "is the glass half full or half empty?" Well for you physics majors out there, it's always full, it just is full of different elements. Sometimes the liquid is only part of the equation. Don't miss the air in the other half. All this to try to make you realize our thought pattern determines our disposition. Paul said he has learned to be content whether rich or poor, hungry or fulfilled. Jesus is where he always has been and you can be happy or you can be sad. Not saying it will be easy but put your eyes on Jesus, read the Word, seek his face while praying for that other thing or person who may need a good back hand but they have their issues too. I know you are hurting and it's hard but as I encourage you with showing the compassion of my savior you will come out the other side and perhaps it may be when you enter the gates of heaven and maybe here tomorrow but remind yourself you are indeed loved.
1Jn 4:3-19
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us.
