As I stared at the message the Holy Spirit had me posting on Facebook this morning I sat there meditating on the impact of this message.
First thing that popped into my head was Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Second thing that popped into my head was the book The Wake Up Call by John Mulinde. (Need a copy, let me know as I believe my church still has a few left for purchase)
Third thing that popped into my head was the Well Woman Mentoring Academy that I have signed up for. (http://wellwomanacademy.org/)
For 5:30 in the morning on a Monday, that is a lot of thoughts to pop in your head when you haven't even finished your first cup of coffee!
I am looking at this message and thinking about the images God has put in my head. Wow. Lots of thoughts on several different levels. I will try to rope all these thoughts in for you.
I am in the midst of asking God and the Holy Spirit to change my mind-set. I want my thinking to be in line with God and His will. (Not only for my life but for the world around me)
God has created each of us on purpose for a purpose. We have not been created to live a life to just exist, we have been created for greatness. Imagine for a moment that each person on the face of the earth agreed with God and His plan for their individual lives. Seriously, think about it. What a wonderful place this planet we call Earth would be if everyone lived up to their portion of God's plan!
However with the enemy doing his job so well people fall for his lies and doubts he whispers in their heads. Face it he has had a lot of practice at this. Eve in the garden was his first victim. He asked her, "Is that really what God said, Is that really what He meant?" He had her doubting what God had instructed her. She bought it hook, line and sinker. We now have that seed of doubt in us due to that first fall.
Since Eden, satan has perfected his art of lies and doubts. He twists the Word of God to suit his agenda. As the time marches forward, satan changes up his sales pitch but it is still lies which are meant to undermine the Word of God. The world buys it and conforms to his twisted lies. Remember his job is to steal, kill and destroy...everyone he can get his claws into.
Our God never changes and He cannot lie. God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. What He said yesterday still goes for today and will remain tomorrow.
The Bible is not old fashioned, it is the Word of God. It is not just some nice book of stories to teach in Sunday School, it is the Word of God. It is the word of God inspired by the Holy Spirit. The old testament is the new testament concealed. The new testament is the old testament revealed. Jesus is throughout the old testament however He is concealed and in the new testament He is revealed. God is a very precise, detailed God!
God said no other God before me, He meant it. God said no sex out of marriage, He meant it for all time. He said homosexuality is an abomination, He meant it. He did not say this Word has a shelf life of 1500 years or it goes bad. It doesn't not expire it is His Word FOREVER. He does NOT agree with the worldly ways of being "modern". God does not change with the times. His people are not to change with the times either. What He said is what He said and there is no going around it.
The world has left God behind. They have left His Word behind. They have twisted the truth and doubted His word to where even Christians are disobeying His word. Folks I am here to tell you that partial obedience, is disobedience. Sin is sin and God hates sin.
The world has flipped their morals upside down. Worldly thinking and morals has right is wrong and wrong is right. This life we have been given is not a comic book, this is not Bizarro World.
We have got to get back in line with the will of God. The Word don't change. We are to Change the world, not change the Word. AMEN!
Until next time, God Bless!!!
