The devil made me do it! Really???

11/26/2012

I know you've heard the saying " the devil made me do it".....Well, I'm here to tell you that is a lie from hell. It's an excuse for one desiring to do the will of their flesh vs God's will and using old slew foot as an excuse. Come on let's get real here. We all know that God gave us free will. A free will to make choices in our day to day lives. He gave us a choice to serve Him or not to. Therefore, when the devil tempts us, as he always does, we have the option to do right or do wrong. So, the next time you choose to do something against the will of God put yourself in check and stop giving the devil power he doesn't have until you unleash it.

(Joshua 24:15 KJV) And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord , choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord .

THE VOICES IN YOUR HEAD

How many of you have ever said something like this after an event happened in a way contrary to your decision? “I knew I should have followed my first mind.” Well, that’s a funny statement being that we only have one brain. It’s not like we have 3 different brains that we tap into, but what we do have is the voice of good (GOD) and the voice of evil (devil). And, if you are filled with the Holy Spirit then He ministers to you constantly however; when we let EGO get in the way we many times bypass that small initial voice. It’s called disobedience. We, then do things a different way and I am willing to say that 98% of the time (at the least) we are wrong or something detrimental happens because we didn’t do what we were initially told. That voice that you are calling your first mind is God and He is there to deliver you from something that you cannot even see. It is protection from things or people that may hurt you. If you are dating and you feel that something just isn’t right, then guess what? It probably isn’t. Don’t ignore it. Remember always that there is no confusion in what God ordains. He is a God of peace and order. The next time you hear that small inner voice, don’t ignore it and go on as you plan, but take heed and follow it. You will be grateful in the long run.

Isaiah 30:21 – “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it."

CHURCH COMPASSION OR COMPETITION?

Definition of Compassion - Human Kindness and Good Deeds. A feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering. The definition of compassion must include human kindness as well as good deeds. Someone cannot have human kindness in them unless they have the love for others. God is the best example of compassion. He loves all of mankind whether or not any one individual loves Him or not. Because of this love, God desires to bless us.

Definition of Competition.

The act of seeking, or endeavoring to gain, what another is endeavoring to gain at the same time; common strife for the same objects; strife for superiority; emulous contest; rivalry, as for approbation, for a prize, or as where two or more persons are engaged in the same business and each seeking patronage; - followed by for before the object sought, and with before the person or thing competed with.

We can see below the curses affiliated with competition in the book of Genesis alone.

The Serpent and Eve
Eve and Adam
Cain and Abel
The Tower of Babel
Noah's Ark
Lot and Sodom / Gomorrah
Abraham and Pharaoh
Joseph and his brothers

Unfortunately, the competitive nature has taken over in many churches and individuals in their Christian supposedly (CHRIST-LIKE) walk. If we are to be the definition of compassion then why are so many competing with the others for more church members, a bigger church, a bigger/better mass choir, a better worship/praise team , an awesome television ministry? What we should be competing for is winning souls for Christ and the edification of HIS kingdom not one’s carnal church. Yes, I said carnal church because when the focus is geared towards MAN and not GOD it becomes carnal. The last time I checked there were billions of sinners still lost and looking for the answer. So, if there are billions of souls that need to be saved there is no room for competition of buildings but lots of room for getting out and winning souls along with compassion. Today is the time for a change. What defines you, Competition or Compassion?

Philippians 2:3-4 (NIV) " Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit.Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others
