God's Best in your Life

I believe the greatest prayer is to be able to hear the Holy Spirit of God clearly, constantly, not to be distracted from Him, and in perfect obedience to Him. When this is perfected (as close as is possible) we bring a great big grin to Fathers face, and great joy to His heart.

Now this prayer isn't easy or nearly as simple as it seems. It will require great change on our part. We will have to go through the refiners fire and be cleansed of the dross that blocks the Holy Spirit in our life. We will stumble and fall so many times in the beginning but these fall will diminish as we are changed. Many times we will have to be chastised to get our wandering attention back to Him, but it will all be worth it. Remember, the Father chastises the son He loves. Because without that chastisement, we will not turn back from our distractions and will continue on a path less acceptable to this goal.

Ask for God's best, because it is His desire for you. But when you do, be prepared for some major breaking and changing, which is required of us all. Some want it bad enough to go through it, but all too many want to coast on grace. It is a choice between comfort and God's best. It is a choice between being mediocre at best or being all you can be in Christ Jesus. Amen. So it is. How do I know? Because I have been going through it for 30 years. Is it worth it? There is nothing better nor even near it in the entire universe.

Did God Really Say to Keep Out of Government?

God gave us this Christian nation. Make no mistake about it, it was founded by Christians looking to get out from under the King controlled church in England. It is history. He also gave with it the means of good stewardship, voting and the politics of government control. God did not say to stay out of this government, Satan did and we ate it up. If you can show me scripture to say absolutely otherwise, I will repent. As well, there is no clause in our Constitution regarding "separation of Church and state." Read it carefully. It says clearly that government is to make NO LAW controlling religion. (Paraphrased) This is to make sure that the Church did NOT fall under the control of government the way it was in England. God did call us to be good stewards over all the He has given us. The Church has failed miserably in doing that regarding this country.

How Can A Loving God Send Anyone to Hell?

Something here for you to consider. Ever wonder how a loving God can send someone to Hell? I don't believe He sends anyone to Hell. Here's why.

If you create something, you own it. If I create something, I own it. Therefore, if God creates something, He owns it.

When a manufacturer creates a product, he usually sends it through quality control. If it passes, it goes out to the public. If it fails, it goes into the incinerator.

Our time on earth is Gods quality control. If we pass, we get sent on to Heaven and join those who have gone on before. If we fail, we go into the incinerator.

The big difference between a manufactured product and us is, we have a choice.

So God doesn’t send people to Hell, it is our choice. We choose.

This is a very simplified example, but true regardless. We do have a loving God... that is why He has given us a users manual to go by. In reality it is a love letter, trying to keep us out of Hell. In the Old Testament, there were a lot of rules to go by in order to qualify. But man being so imperfect is not able to keep these commandments and qualify for Heaven. That is why God gave us another way in. Through His son Christ Jesus, we no longer have to work so hard to try and keep all these rules. It now is only a matter of loving Jesus. And that is really easy. All we have to do is simply return the Love He has for us.

Selah! Think on this.
