GOD DOES NOT APPEASE!

PSALMS 33:10-12 The LORD frustrates the purposes of the nations; he keeps them from carrying out their plans. But his plans endure forever; his purposes last eternally.
Happy is the nation whose God is LORD: happy are the people he has chosen for his own!

Dear Friends,
We are living in biblical times. Every day we see more and more of the evil spirit dividing and concurring the ways in which God had intended us to live. We have only ourselves to blame.

At a time when more and more people are seeking a more spiritual life, which God has given freely for us to embrace, we are also facing the demoralization of society and the possible total destruction of who we are.

Instead of standing firm on the rock and defending God’s WORD, we have let our feet slide into the sand, where the weight of the world’s corruption has driven our lives deeper and deeper into an unforgiving pit. We have only ourselves to blame.

Instead of putting an end to the tyranny, unconscious behavior, destructive divisiveness and wayward living, we have found it better to appease those who see life differently.

By giving in to the demands of others, so as to bring some type of peaceful resolution, we are slowly, bit by bit, giving away all that we have, which makes us who we are.

God wants us to give freely to those who need our help, and find ways to bring all people together, and to grow in a way that reflects the teachings of Jesus. But, one thing must be made clear: GOD DOES NOT APPEASE! God does not give in to those who use their free will to do things that go against the laws God gave to us. God will not amend His rules! God will not let those into his Kingdom to live their lives the way they want to live. ISAIAH 31:2 He knows what he is doing! He sends disaster. He carries out his threats to punish evil men and those who protect them.

As Christians we are witnesses for God, through the following of Jesus, His son. We must be strong and resilient to the evils of this world. To give in to the demands of our enemy, no matter how small, will only strengthen the grip the enemy has on our human bodies and minds.

Satan will come at us from every angle imaginable, most of it so small we rarely see it. No place is unpenetrable, not even a church.

You must understand that evil will not change either, But evil will show itself in a way that is misleading in order to capture you through any weakness in your armor, thus taking control of your life.

Let God be your armor and do battle with the evil spirit. GOD DOES NOT APPEASE!

Is The Spirit Missing?

ACTS 1: 7,8 Jesus said to them, “The times and occasions are set by my father’s own authority, and it is not for you to know when they will be. But when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will be filled with power, and you will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem, in all of Judea and Samaria, and to then ends of the earth.”

Dear friends,
Nearly two weeks ago a 15 year old girl, from Kettering, OH was reported missing. Please pray for her safe return, and for her parents, family, and community of friends.

Below is a link you can copy and paste to your internet, so that you can get a full description of who she is, and what actions you can take. Her name is Emily Smitley.

Words cannot express what a parent goes through when a child of theirs becomes missing. It is like a vital part of your being has been removed and you feel incomplete. Every ounce of strength you have and every waking moment is devoted to finding your lost child. Using every possible resource, the hope is to save the child and bring them home.

Can you imagine what God must feel when one of his children becomes missing? What resources does he use to find those that are lost?

The children of God I am referring to are not those that are physically missing from God’s sight, or ours. These are people who believe in God and attend church services and may also do other activities affiliated through the church, but for some reason a part of what makes them a child of God has become missing.

It is real easy through the course of time to let the comfort of our surroundings and traditions take control of how we believe or want our ‘church’ lives to be led. When we do that, we end up losing the very essence of God’s life in us. We lose the spirit of God’s purpose. We keep the Holy Spirit from entering our souls and letting that Spirit be our guide and strength.

Is the Spirit missing from you? What resources are you using and are you truly devoted into wanting the Holy Spirit to come be with you and make you whole?

Jesus said we WILL be his witnesses, but we cannot let the Spirit go missing if we are to fulfill God’s purpose.

My prayers are with Emily and all the other Emily’s, that they may be found and reunited with their families. My prayers are also with those who are missing their Spirit, that they too may find what has been lost and be reunited with God’s family. Both will take time, and we need to pray and give what is not in our control to the hands of authority, God.
