YOU ARE NOT IN CONTROL

Sometimes people who are in a position of authority like to use the phrase “It’s my way or the high way” which normally lets you know, by default, who is in control. Now, what I wonder is if God said “it’s my way or hell” would we still consider Him to be loving and kind? God, being the creator of all, has all the right in the world to use that terminology because He is in charge. Only God has the power of life and death in His hands.

In life, we must realize that even though we desire, want and pray for things if it is not in God’s will or plans, we will not get it. This is when  we need to realize that He is in control of everything. God is the C.E.O. of the entire world, master of the universe, therefore it is not what we want but what God wants for us. It’s not what we think but what God thinks. We need to come to an understanding that we do not have the final word, He does.

In Isaiah 55:8-9, God clearly lets us know that,”His thoughts are not our thoughts, neither are His ways like ours.” He then tells us that the distance is, “as far as the heavens are from the earth, that is how far apart our thoughts and ways are.” 1 Samuel 16:7 relates to this by saying, “The Lord does not see things as man sees it; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

Most of us are control freaks, yes we are all guilty of this, who have to be in control of everything and everyone.  However, Proverbs 16:1-9 tells us that we can make all the preparations we want but when it comes down to the end of the last quarter God has the final answer/say. A mans heart devises his way but only the Lord can direct his steps. It is when we commit our works unto the Lord that He establishs our thoughts. Proverbs 3 :5-6 tells us not to lean on our own understanding but to acknowledge Him in all our ways and once we acknowledge him he will direct us. We have to be able to trust Him just as much as we think we can trust our friends, spouse and parents.

We must lose control, we have to give it up, we need to relinquish it and put it all in Gods hands.  In order for us to be a success we must understand that when a mans ways please the Lord He makes even that mans enemies be at peace with him. It’s when you try to go against Gods plans that life throws you a curve ball and becomes difficult and overbearing. Then, with that curve ball being thrown in your direction, instead of being blessed you are stressed beyond words.

You will never be in control until you take Gods advice and cast all your burdens and cares onto him (Psalm 55:22 ; 1 Peter 5:7). You have to enjoy the peace that only He can give. If you don’t know about God and the special gift of His son (Jesus Christ) that John 3 :16 tells us about then go to the top of this blog.

Thank you God for using me to get your message out to all those who need your love and guidance.

THE BEST INVITATION

Come all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come buy and eat. Come buy wine and milk without money, and without cost; why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight itself in abundance. Give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may live…Seek the Lord while He may be found; call on Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his ways, and the evil man his thoughts, let him turn to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him, and to our God for he will freely pardon ( Isaiah 55:1-7).

This invitation was offered over two thousand years ago, and it is still good today, and is the best invitation ever offered to mankind. Don’t get it twisted, be misinformed, or misunderstand the invitation, it is better than ever; The Lord cannot get lost, and He will not always be near for the unbeliever or non christian, because when His beloved son Jesus Christ returns for the saints or true Christians the opportunity you have now will not be available to you. In the last days perilous times shall come, just read ( 2 Timothy 3:1-5; Jude 17-18; Revelation 3:14-22).

Listen, after the rapture there will be a tribulation period; “Little children, it is the last time; and as ye have heard  that the antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrist; whereby we know that it is the last time (1 John 2:18); anyone who denies that Jesus is the Christ, also that God is the Father and Jesus the son are liars and of the antichrist (1 John 2:22). So now is the time to turn from sin and turn to God, who will abundantly pardon you; now is not the time to be trying to figure things out, because God’s ways and thoughts are not like ours (Isaiah 55:8-9).

It’s time to stop debating about who wrote the Bible, and that you have been hearing this story for a long time, that’s just the trick of the devil to confuse, blind and bound you. Every book on earth was written by a person, but only one was inspired by God, which is useful for teaching on all subjects, tells us right from wrong, is good for rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, it tells us of all prophecies past, present, and future, it tells us about God’s only begotten son, informs us of all his promises and judgments, and the best of all how to get eternal life, and the only book that is validated by God’s creation, signs, wonders, and man, if you want to debate, reject or disqualify those facts, then you are lost, an antichrist, and you are doomed. All that I stated above is scriptural (2 Timothy 3:16-17; John 3:16-17; Genesis 1;etc.). But the natural man receives not the things of the spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him, neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned (1 Corinthians 2:14).

The inspiration  of the Almighty giveth understanding (Job 32:8). God’s word is powerful and sharper than a two-edge sword…(Hebrew 4:12). Remember, when God’s word is spoken it never returns to Him void, but it always accomplishes what He pleases, and shall prosper in the thing for which He sent it(Isaiah 55:11). How shall we escape if we neglect so great an invitation to salvation; which at first was spoken by the Lord, was confirmed by those who heard it; God also bearing them witness, both with signs, wonders, divers miracles, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His will (Hebrews 2:1-4).

If you are willing to accept this invitation, go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, then follow the instructions, it will be the best decision you ever make. Glory to God. Now to the King Eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God to Him be the glory, praise, honor, and thanks for using me to minister to His people, may His grace, love, mercy, and peace be with you now and forever, in Jesus Mighty Name, amen.
