HE PLAYS DIRTY!!!! To know and not to do is still not to know. No matter how much we profess about God, we should not only agree with God's word we must own it. Until we own it we will always be faint hearted christians. We need to pay the price of developing good spiritual habits and in the end achieve fruitage of the spirit, like Gal 5 v 22 states The reason is that we are up against a ruthless, cunning opposition who plays dirty. The devil!!! When I turned my back on my old life I equipped myself with getting an insight on my sins, so I would not repeat the same sins. I was tired of carrying the same heavy load of guilt as a result of my sin and reflecting on it surely changed my life. My task was to name my sins and this gave me freedom to face them head on. As I named then I was amazed to discover how corroded my life had become. The level of justification I awarded my actions was unbelievable. I was baffled how conscience becomes so flismy. I was willing to push the boundaries of sin. Living in a world of moral decay where everything is justifiable as long as there is a theory to back it up and where most behaviours could be classified as illness. Without God's respect and holy spirit there is no sense of accountability. In this word sin is sustainable, tolerable and unavoidable without God. The devil plays his game, a game with very little rules where anything is possible. He has no conscience, he is selfish, two-faced, self-centered just a few of his qualities. His main goal is to ensure that he penetrates to our heart and soul and destroy the very core property that links us to God our spiritual existence. THAT IS PLAYING DIRTY!!! He will use anything, anyone at his disposal to achieve his goal. To me I think this is hell, Hell is a state of being deprived spiritual existence, I do not relate it to a place. Jere 7:31 Like someone said it takes a lot of courage to be an Athetist given what the devil has to offer. He offers no assurance but confusion and fear. |

Thank you Sister Jan  Some things here for me to think about. I found this; Isaiah 30:33 Topheth has long been prepared; it has been made ready for the king. Its fire pit has been made deep and wide, with an abundance of fire and wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of burning sulfur, sets it ablaze.

Quoting Middy13 This is a most excellent post. So true how sin can wreak havoc in our lives and dull our conscience the more one gives into sin. I really like your post. Thanks. God be with you and Bless you. Stay strong and Bold in the Lord! ______________________________________________________________________ Thank you for your comment sis sandra, yes and am glad to be able to notice and admit it. That is a gift on it's own, when our eyes are opened, and the lace is removed.

Thank you, am glad you enjoyed my blog. I am my worst critic and I think, I do see my flaws and all I want is to grow spiritual and be a good person.

Quoting Kayswhims Thank you Sister Jan Some things here for me to think about. I found this; Isaiah 30:33 Topheth has long been prepared; it has been made ready for the king. Its fire pit has been made deep and wide, with an abundance of fire and wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of burning sulfur, sets it ablaze. ______________________________________________________________________ Thank you for your comment. I have taken your point on board, have also seen a blog done on There is Hell. Honestly speaking, I want to own God's word and were I feel I am still in doubt I will pray about it, and God has being good, his spirit has led me to accept areas I was doubting. I, am glad you pointed out and will endeavour to learn. I do yearn to learn and understand his word as it is, not according to church doctrine.

HERE is your adversary...your satan: Romans 8..."Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be." If it is not subject to God it is opposing God...this carnal mind that needs to be renewed and transformed by the Spirit of God seeks its own way and that way is death. In this way can a true believer be opposing God if they are not obedient to His Word. We think we are in God's will, or doing something that is in reality opposing God because the god of this world blinds our eyes at times and God allows it. This, because the carnal mind is not subject to God. It is sin. And its natural tendency is to love darkness and hate the Light. We don't need to give all the credit for evil in the world (and in the Church) to Lucifer. We are satan. We are the adversary of God. WE play dirty! Where Bible And Christian Meet If You Only Knew

Since we are adversary of God, it is important to name our sins each day and be humble enough to admit we are nothing without God, and evaluate our work. We need to see if we are potraying the fruitage of the spirit. As a prophet of God you do understand that the faith without work is empty, that is why I said to know and not to do is still not to know. We should be more worried with how we put the word of God into practice rather than knowing it, because it is our work and action we will be judged for. Thank you for your comment, I hope my blog did touch you enough to walk away with something.

With all due respect, Hazelpride... Quoting Jeremiah15 To know and not to do is sin if that knowledge is from understanding a command of God. Now. let me ask you something... You acknowledge my being a prophet of God? On what basis do you make that acceptance? _____________________________________________________________________ I have to admit you do know your bible, but I was not really acknowledging you as a prophet of God. I was merely stating what you always say about yourself. Honestly, I think you are a spirited man who knows your word, but I fear I cannot accept you are a true agent of God because you lack one of God important qualities when delivering his word. YOU DO NOT HAVE HUMILITY!!! and you do not listen to anyone at all. This is very disturbing. You always have an answer for everything and you come across like you are do not make mistakes. You actual do. I am sorry, I will not obey you, I will however, will ask God to guide me to his word, whether or not I met you I know I would receive God's word. Sometimes when I do read your blogs inspired by God I do come off with something there, sometimes I don't. This is not meant to be a personal attack, just how I see things.

SOrry you can;t get out the house  Seriouslly if you sit down and be still and quiet I know you hear and you stand up and say what is right and you have written a great post and also responded to others openly and with conviction....ok ok your head is giant now and you can't get out of the loo/dunny I am not trying to say you are a great person, fact is I do not know you - I am just appreciating the quality that you have to be strait, forward, honest and open.....Don't stop being you - who else could you be? God is evident in your words.

Sometimes when I do read your blogs inspired by God I do come off with something there, sometimes I don't. This is not meant to be a personal attack, just how I see things. You do what others here have done and this is the result. How do you know that the Old Testament prophets had humility? Have you read their prophesying? Do you think humility shows in their declaration of "Repent!?" Of condemnation? Of judgment? If you lived during the days of their prophesying would you think these men had humility? No. The honest answer is no. You add to my words to you and from here you err. I never said to obey me. However, obey the Word of God I bring, now that's what is expected of a saint to the mediator. What exactly do you want me to listen to from "anyone?" That they tell me to stop my call? That I agree with them that I am false? To accept their heresy? False love? What exactly do you want me to listen to in their "words" that are contrary with the Word of God? Let's see, I have an excellent fellowship outside BigChurch with HisBelovedOne2, Donny, 4gvnrn, Siciliangirl...these people took a chance to get to know me and maybe if you were to ask them what they think of me I am sure you would be told that when I am not speaking the Lord's Word that I am humble, that I am different that what I am on the blogs. As a matter of fact...these have spoken up in character defense of my walk and life and the people here did to them what Jesus said in... Matthew 21:35-40..."And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. 37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. 38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. 39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. ... 40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?"

Thank you J15 for your say, heard you and understand your point. I simply think things have moved on from the old testament, and the style of delivering the good news has changed. I simply find you very uncomfortable when you take it upon yourself to be a prophet. I want to learn the bible, but not your way, and I know the God I pray to agree with me. Your approach, no matter how you support it, intimidates most people. The whole point is for people to listen to you in the end, if they don't then you are no longer effective.

Your approach, no matter how you support it, intimidates most people. The whole point is for people to listen to you in the end, if they don't then you are no longer effective. If I may respectfully comment to what you have just written. "the style of delivering the good new has changed" Malachi 3:6a 6 For I am the Lord, I change not; My God doesn't change! You're putting God in a box and limiting Him by saying the style has changed! What if it hasn't? "you take it upon yourself to be a prophet" What makes you think that anyone would want to be a prophet? Look at all the garbage some have thrown at him? It's not only him, but those who have stood up for him. "I know the God I pray to agree with me". With all due respect I don't ever want God to agree with me. I would pray that you would want to agree with God! You would so limit God with Him agreeing with you! His ways are so much higher than ours. "If they don't (listen) then you are no longer effective" I would have also to disagree with this statement. Can you say hardness of heart, pride? Would you say the Old Testament prophets were ineffective? Would you say Jesus was ineffective? Was Paul ineffective? etc. All of these had people that did not listen to them. The bottom line of what I am trying to say is do not limit God because you don't think this is how God would handle something! Secondly don't throw out a gift because of how it's wrapped. God has so much for His children but many times we miss out because we try to fit God into our imagination! His ways are so much higher than ours!

Your approach, no matter how you support it, intimidates most people. The whole point is for people to listen to you in the end, if they don't then you are no longer effective. God hasn't changed. He saves in the Old Testament the same way as He does in the New. So, what's changed in the style of delivering the Word of God? Is it really a "style?" Are we being fashionable with the gospel? You think I take it upon myself? I really don't. You see, I tried to be a Jonah and God sent a big fish to capture me and compel me. I mean, when He puts His Word in my mouth and causes it to burn I would have no option but to spit it out. Has this ever happen to you? Probably not. You are not a prophet. Where you are in the Body I don't know yet. But what do you want in a prophet? To be obedient to your idea of what a prophet should be? John the Baptist came in the spirit and power of Elijah. Do you know what that means? Why do you think John the Baptist was murdered? Was it because he spoke a kind message? Maybe he shouldn't have spoken so harshly to Herod. Maybe he shouldn't haven't told the religious leaders to bring forth fruit meet for repentance. I mean, how would you feel thinking you were in God's will and here comes a straggler out from the wilderness and speaking with declarative language that you weren't in God's will? Maybe you would behave just as you are now? Just as the others? Just as them in the Bible. Honest reflection is required here. There's a reason why ALL the prophets God sent to His people were killed. Jesus said this was the case, right? He called those religious leaders the sons of the prophet-killers. You think I want to take up the mantle of Jeremiah? Look what they did to him. No, if I were to decide to be someone it would not be a Jeremiah. This was God's doing. And whether you, or I, like it or not, it's reality. John the Baptist was the transition. He was under the Law but a prototype of the man of God that the Lord would send to His people in our age. And doesn't a prophet usually, and Biblically, precede judgment? And doesn't judgment begin in the house of God? You say you want to learn the Bible? Learning the truth is what a child of truth does. I brought up very good questions above. If you can answer those then come back with some more statements of unbelief and I will try to instill faith in a God that commands His prophets to speak what HE desires they speak and not what you want to hear. False prophets do that. Tell you what you want to hear. Where Bible And Christian Meet If You Only Knew
