We the children of God are so spoiled and we can’t see it. We want and want, get what we want and sometimes it turn out to be a curse rather than a blessing for us and we’re never a satisfied. It all started with Adam in the garden who was given the tasked by God to name all the animals paired off with a companion (Genesis 2:18-20) God realized it was not right for man to be alone so he made a help meet for Adam. I believed that Adam went to God saying, he wanted to be paired with someone like himself as the animals. God had already prepared to make him a companion, but wanted Adam to first form an deeper relationships with him that wouldn’t ever be unbroken. Adam being flesh and God being spirit was his problem and God give to him what his heart desired. From the very beginning God always granted whatever was asked of him, Adam got a companion Eve from the Lord. And even though there was consequences to him getting what he wanted such as Eve his companion who was tempted to eat from the forbidden tree by the serpent and then gived him also to eat in which he did. The results for their action is they both were thrown out of paradise where every thing was once provided for them, now have to work hard for their life and was eventually going to die.

I often wondered why Adam never put up a fight by insisting not to eat from the forbidden tree. He was the first to know about all of God’s creations and the dose and don’t to have taught Eve. Adam said, the woman whom he had been given, gave him and he did eat (Genesis 3:12). Instead of resisting he did just like she did without a fight ate from the forbidden tree not understanding the meaning of good and evil or death, but wanting their eyes to open and to be like God. Like innocent children wanting to be a grown up Adam and Eve were disobedient.

I examining the scriptures in Exodus and Numbers about the Israelites in the wilderness with Moses. Their behavior was no different than Adam and Eve. But unlike Adam and Eve they fought back, but for unrighteousness reasons. They complained about being taken in the wilderness to die when the Pharaohs was after them, the bitter water at Marah, that they left Egypt to thirst to death, eating only manner and not meat, they complained about Moses staying on the mountain to long so they made a golden calf to be their God, they murmured and complained so much that God sent a fire to consume some of them, and they spoke out against both Aaron and Moses. The wilderness should had become for the enslaved Israelites the new Eden the place where the Lord provided everything they needed like he did for Adam and Eve in taking care of their well being. The Israelites exasperated God so much that he threatened to had kill them. Being spoiled and throwing tantrum in wanting and wanting, then getting what they wanted, and never satisfied. Their behavior I would think had nothing to do with innocence, but sin within.

It doesn’t make any sense why the Israelites acted the way they did, when they saw the mighty hand of the Lord displayed against the Egyptian, the people feared the Lord and put their trust in him and in Moses his servant (Exodus 14:31) They were delivered from four hundred years of slavery and all they could do is complain that being enslaved was better than their freedom in the wilderness. We can now understand why man has to be saved by Grace. Our flaw and frailty doesn’t allow us to do anything other than to be obedient to the word of God to get us through the life we are given.

Deejay Khalid hit song we all like the idea of winning, it’s becomes our theme song for our life. We all want to win, win, no matter what, but God sometimes requires for us to lose for his purpose. Look at Moses, he could of given up on falling his calling by becoming the Prince of Egypt next in line to being the Pharaoh marrying a princess instead of a shepherd woman. Joseph could of had his vengeance on his brothers for what they had done to him and Jesus could of call down the angel to fight against those who prosecuted and brutally beat him and then crucified him.

Are we willing to lose for the sake of God’spurpose, giving up what could make us a winners. You’re in the ring to win not lose. But look at Jesus, if we truly want to follow him, stepping down serving when you should be on a thrown being served. When you know you can fight and win, but you throw the fight for God and let the others win that’s what Jesus had done for us. It’s not for you to win sometimes, but for you to trust God to do his will when you fight hard and still lose. As a child of the most High God winning or losing is not up to us, but whatever is the will of God.

I do not know what’s wrong with Christians who’s believing that Jesus’s coming is going to be so great this time. What’s wrong with you people didn’t you learn from our ancestors who believed the same thing and look what happened. This time we might be the ones crucified. Isn’t it better to not know and to know and do wrong?

We should be fearful after all the Pharisee and scribes believed themselves to have known who the messiah would be, and Jesus definitely was not to their expectation of what they believed. And surely the messiah would be in their company and not who they’d considered sinners, and unworthy.

If Jesus present in the earth the first time was to save man kind by bring us kingdom rules and being the sacrificial lamb to deliver us from sin. We should be worried how well learnt are we now, and are we trying, truly trying to be obedient to all we were taught, are we being honest to ourselves as to our relationship with the Lord or are we faking it and faking it to others as well. Remember, “God is not to be mocked” Jesus taught us, walk with us, healed us, fed us, preformed miracles, made the impossibles in our lives possible, and give us specific rules to follow like love the Lord God with all your heart, mind and soul and love your neighbors as yourself Matthew 22:36-40. Are we following and being obedient?

Don’t be fooled, saved by grace is for all the hopeless people in the world who can’t help but be the way they are and do the things they do. And as a called persons of God you have to be able to stand in faith like Job, no matter what happens to you in life. You cannot be a presumptuous sinner believing you can do whatever and you’ll still be saved by Grace. Being saved by Grace is what Jesus life death and resurrection had given us as sinners. In other words we are helpless, and hopeless in in anything we believe we could try to do to be saved but doesn’t work, because we can’t help but make mistake.

Matthew 7:21-23 (NIV) Jesus teaching of True and False Disciples “Not everyone who says to me,”Lord, Lord; will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the ones who does the will of my father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ” Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name performed many miracles?” Then I will tell them plainly, “I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!” I can only guess Jesus is talking about sinners, the one who play God themselves by being judging, jury and prosecutor of others, hating, showing no love and not treating others the way they’d like to be treated, etc. I guess grace wouldn’t be given under these circumstances when he cast you away from him.

Come on people can’t you see it’s reason to be concerned and for you to read your bible and check yourself, see if your being obedient to the will of God. Are you truly on the Lord side in your life, in every aspect of it or are we on the verge of making history repeat itself again? How well learnt are we from our past people? “Don’t know about you but I am terrified.” We’ve come too far to turn back now with so much knowledge and understanding of the things pertaining to God. You have to mentaly discipline your thoughts when it want to get off track on the things of the Lord.

Like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, home was within her, not some where she had to be taken to. We know the truth because the truth lies within all of us and is also around us, “God, Heaven, Hell and Death. We should know there is a God because of the things in which we ourselves cannot explain or have no control. We are not just about flesh and bones, but we are also spirit within. The Holy spirit within is truth, that part of us in which answer the question like, “is there really a God?” And the answer is revealed within our soul, something happens to connect us by an intense feeling in our heart and our mind. How is it sometimes revealed physically? Through our own experiences wether through a miracle of the impossible becoming possible, by having faith and seeing it manifest. We are intuitive when born and slowly as we grow up we are conform to the world which distort truth to lies. For example as a child we are told not lie, but yet when you say to someone, their breath stinks and they’re ugly, especially to an adult, you’re reprimanded and told, “it’s not nice to say that.” So you learn to lie as not hurt someone feelings.

Technology and science has allowed us knowledge and understanding of some things. But our wisdom is still lacking ever so bad, because for some they believe we don’t need a God because we have all answers. Nothing can be answered completely without God. God is allowing us to know a little through the pouring out of wisdom, knowledge and understanding. So don’t get it twisted we can’t do what we do without him. Don’t you get It? All what we thing we know has been proven again and again we don’t know or understand everything, not even God himself.

God is the most important part of us being whole and complete. Even with the understanding that there are those who do not believe, (The atheists and the devil worshipers). It doesn’t matter when God is ready, he’ll reveals himself to whomever. We all are created and connected to God, whether or not we acknowledge it. Take a look at the animals, all the living creatures God created the difference between them and us is they live by instincts. We also have instincts, but we are not attuned to it, we have the God given ability of choice which some how fogs our minds, unlike the animals. We can choose to worship God or not unlike all his other creations. Maybe after all the only instinct we do operate in is a yearning within to figure out the meaning of life, how it all began, is there more to it and what happens after death. Whereas the instinct for animal is for their life survival. They may not be able to convey it to us, but they know God and their instinct is their obedience to Him. Just because either you were adopted or decided to renounce your biological parent is no longer your parents, doesn’t change the fact that they are still connected through your blood. And our blood connection to God almighty is our spirit.

How many times do we pray that God will show us a sign that He is, John 14:8-11 ( Philip said, “Lord show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” Jesus answered,”Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing His work). And whatever we may be going through in our lives is He truly with us? Hebrews 11:6 (Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exist and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.)

As we grow spiritually we should learn, following Jesus doesn’t necessarily mean to only pick up your cross and follow Jesus like the disciples did. It also means being and doing what Jesus has done through the power of the Father. Putting on the righteousness of God. Sometimes the only God that we do see is a person, a stranger coming to your aid or that of someone else. Like Jesus every where he or she goes they are doing and being good, showing compassion and mercy to others by helping them, being obedient to God’s will and for his greater glory. God doesn’t possess us, but we can possess him, if we chose to have a personal intimate relationship with the Lord and follow him in love and service to others. He also send us the Holy Ghost that guide us in all truth, John 14:16 and 26.

Whenever someone seems to come to you like an answered prayer to fulfil you desire or whatever it maybe you’re going through and need help, it is the Lord. Sometimes it’s a stranger or even Someone you know, like a friend, family member, your doctor, and especially those faithful believers in God, who bear an uncanny resemblance to him in their actions towards those in need and suffering. A person who’s unseflesh and never waver in doing good, neither is looking for a reward for it, is like Jesus. Jesus give and never count the cost and still kept on giving and doing his Father will.

Human beings do have weakness, and imperfections, but it never has ever stop God from using them to do his will in making the world a better place and showing us that through Him we can change and make a difference.
