We have no idea how God works. The reason why we tend to disregard things that pertains to God. We are busy on the things that pertains to us and the things that are around us and so we are likened to Satan.Matthew 16:23 But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”
Who can not give all for a life? Spend and sell all resources just to be saved from a dreaded disease. And worst, denounce a faith in exchange for a dear life.
Job 2:4-5 So Satan answered the LORD and said, “Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. But stretch out Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will surely curse You to Your face!”
Knowing the things of God is forgetting the things of men to the extent of accepting death for a divine cause. And Jesus forewarned the Apostles beforehand.
John 15:18-19 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
How many Satan's are in the house or in a neighborhood that offended or will offend you most of the time? In fact they are everywhere. But as Jesus said to God the father:
John 17:15-16 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
And assured us that we are victorious like Him in spite of tribulation.
John 16:33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
OMG, thanks Jesus, I was healed and relieved.
Please don't post your comments on my blog. I am a Christian too, and didn't appreciate the comments about tattoos not being of God. Thanks so much. Kori
ReplyDeleteTruly, tattooing is a sin against God and I am not the one who said it.
ReplyDeleteLeviticus 19:28 You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the LORD.
Is this not a sound doctrine for a Christian?
2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
A classical example of Christian by mouth not by deed.
happy new year!
