When We Know What is Right, but Refuse to Do It

Why does the community around us, both local and global, seem to be getting more violent and perverse?  Why are the airwaves filled with "entertainment" that seemingly seeks to get more and more raunchy with fewer restrictions and increased acceptance?  Now I am far, very far, from being a perfect man, and by no means living a streamlined Holy Ghost filled life, but I love God more that anything else, and appreciate the mercy and grace He extends to me on a daily basis.  For this reason, I find comfort and joy when I write this blog because I know God still has His hands in my life.  Thank you God!!!!! 

This evening, I asked our Father to open my eyes to truths I have not caught before.  Knowing that God answers prayer, I began to read through the scriptures, Romans specifically, and in less than 1 chapter, God gave me some clear insight on what is happening in the world us.  Go with me if you will to the following:


Romans1:21 -32 (The Voice Translation)
²¹ because, despite the fact that they knew the one true God, they have failed to show the love, honor, and appreciation due to the One who created them! Instead, their lives are consumed by vain thoughts that poison their foolish hearts. ²² They claim to be wise; but they have been exposed as fools, frauds, and con artists— ²³ only a fool would trade the splendor and beauty of the immortal God to worship images of the common man or woman, bird or reptile, or the next beast that tromps along.
²⁴ So God gave them just what their lustful hearts desired. As a result, they violated their bodies and invited shame into their lives. ²⁵ How? By choosing a foolish lie over God’s truth. They gave their lives and devotion to the creature rather than to the Creator Himself, who is blessed forever and ever. Amen. ^26-27 This is why God released them to their own vile pursuits, and this is what happened: they chose sexual counterfeits—women had sexual relations with other women and men committed unnatural, shameful acts because they burned with lust for other men. This sin was rife, and they suffered painful consequences.
²⁸ Since they had no mind to recognize God, He turned them loose to follow the unseemly designs of their depraved minds and to do things that should not be done. ²⁹ Their days are filled with all sorts of godless living, wicked schemes, greed, hatred, endless desire for more, murder, violence, deceit, and spitefulness. And, as if that were not enough, they are gossiping, ³⁰ slanderous, God-hating, rude, egotistical, smug people who are always coming up with even more dreadful ways to treat one another. They don’t listen to their parents; ³¹ they lack understanding and character. They are simple-minded, covenant-breaking, heartless, and unmerciful; they are not to be trusted. ³² Despite the fact that they are fully aware that God’s law says this way of life deserves death, they fail to stop. And worse—they applaud others on this destructive path.

Despite the fact that they are fully aware that this way of life deserves death, they fail to stop.  
Despite the fact that they are fully aware that this way of life deserves death, they fail to stop.
Despite the fact that they are fully aware that this way of life deserves death, they fail to stop. 

And worse - they applaud others on this destructive path......
At the concert.  
On reality TV.  
By downloading their music. 
By following them on social media.

It looks like we brought this society onto ourselves.

Save us God.  Help us Lord. Give us wisdom and understanding.  In Jesus name, we pray.  
Amen. 

Return Backsliding Children, for I am Married to You.   

It has been quite a while since I have taken the time to allow the Holy Spirit to manifest Himself in my life.  As a sit at my desk typing this message, it is very difficult for me to accept how far I have stepped away from the path which I know God prepared for me before the foundation of the world.  I have been so consumed with chasing money and all the temporary possessions of the world, that I almost forgot who I really am.   As I humble myself, and admit my sins before God, I take comfort in knowing that God has already forgiven me.  You see, for me, it seems like God was patiently waiting for this exact moment for me to come back home. 

In all my filth, God directed me to Jeremiah 3 and spoke to me directly.  As I began to read through the chapter, tears started to flow as I saw myself as an adulterer against God. Just as I began to shed more tears, God ministered directly to me in a way that only I could understand. As I continued to repent, I felt the heaviness of the sin and death of this nasty world lift from my body.  This is the point when I have re-entered the Kingdom.

The blog for today is purposely, by the Divine direction of God, not meant to be lengthy and drawn out with unnecessary and excessive scriptures that could miss a person who needs it straight.  Tonight's words are meant to share a real message for those who may be consumed by the things of this world.  The words are meant to tell the people of God, those who like ME, have been unfaithful towards God, that God is indeed waiting for you to come back Home.  Regardless of how dirty you may be, LIKE ME, God is ready to forgive you right in the middle of your filth.   

If you are reading this blog and living a life that you know God has not ordained you to live, I pray in the name of Jesus, that you return to the Kingdom so that you can be placed back in your rightful position.... with Satan kissing the bottom of your foot.

Hallelujah!

Please, please, please take the time to read Jeremiah 3.  Read any translation that will help you to understand what God is saying.   

We're back.
