We seem addicted to ourselves.

My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and who give lying divinations. They shall not be in the council of my people, nor be enrolled in the register of the house of Israel, nor shall they enter the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord God. Precisely because they have misled my people, saying, 'Peace,' when there is no peace, and because, when the people build a wall, these prophets smear it with whitewash….
Ezekiel 13:9-10 (ESV)
 
Evil doers often redefine concepts, such as peace, to control the masses. Declaring that life is wonderful when it is not mentally paralyzes people and causes confusion. When one struggles with an addiction, they need to admit the addiction to begin the healing process. A declaration that the addiction is not an addiction is the single greatest hindrance to the healing process.
 
We seem addicted to ourselves and live as if there is no God. All will see that there is no peace without God. We need to admit, individually and as a nation, that we need to begin the healing process.

Listening to ?????

It seems as if we have minimized the Holy Spirit in the Evangelical community in the United States. We have replaced Him with good things, things that He could use, but things that have indeed replaced Him. Instead of counting on the Spirit of God to lead our leaders we count on the majority. Ministries have studied secular businesses and figured out how they need to operate, and they have replaced the Spirit of God with long range plans, feasibility studies, strategic plans, etc. The individual has replaced the Spirit of God with the plethora of books available on any topic. Psychology seems to be equal to if not more important than God's Spirit, and we place our hope in our doctors, insurances and retirement plans. What would happen if the Spirit of God was trying to get someone to give away their retirement money? Would that individual even be listening, or has the logic of the day replaced the Spirit of the Lord? What if God wants a successful business man or woman to leave h...

Just Listen

As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth. John  17:18-19  (ESV)   Jesus was sent to earth on a mission, and He is sending us on a mission as well. Our mission is not to make this place our home; instead, it is to use the gifts God gave us to participate with Him in the fight and ultimate victory.   For this to happen, we need to know Him, obey Him, and represent Him to our world. He did not ask us to defeat the enemy, but just listen to Him, and He will defeat the enemy. I am thankful He has not asked me to do something I cannot do. https://www.podbean.com/relate365

I Must Listen

He said to me, 'It is Solomon your son who shall build my house and my courts, for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father. I will establish his kingdom forever if he continues strong in keeping my commandments and my rules, as he is today.' Now therefore in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of the Lord, and in the hearing of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of the Lord your God, that you may possess this good land and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you forever. 1 Chronicles 28:6-8 (ESV) God has a plan. We would be foolish to fight it. In fact, those who keep His commandments or obey Him are guaranteed to be in His plan. This does not guarantee that we will live peaceful lives. It guarantees that we will live at peace. It does not mean that we will never experience troubles. It means that we will not be troubled. My responsibility is to listen to God and accept His plan for my life. He made it something I can do. https:...
