the Falsehood

gee.. so it is possible to be a believer and not right with God?
i always scramble to find the Helmet of Salvation in the pile of rubble when i think of this.
it's as if sometimes, most times i'm not wearing the full Armor on.

why Lord, is it that when we are 'saved' we still have the possibility to fall away? to be idle.. to be destructive. i've read this a billion times. NOT everyone who claims to do the good works in God's name knows God... as if if we tired to work and reach God it will never ever make sense in God's economy. it is always grace, salvation, faith first that starts in our heart, because of God's calling that the good works should come out.

but God... Lord... what does it mean to talk to You?

2 Timothy 3
"treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these. For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses"

yeah always struggling with the issue of girls with needs. its life, that a (wo)man would want to rely on a source other than herself to lean on. to support her.. like a tiang. something that she can find her identity in, her security, someone she can bring her issues and problems too. not only the negative but also the postive, she needs to find something .. err i meant someone to love, to care for to cherish and enjoy happy moments with. someone she can spend time and laughter and purpose. after all it goes back to the great grandmother of all humankind, eve. Eve was made from Adam's rib. if adam wasn't there first, and eve was just created.. she would have been lost. sorta.. gosh i hope i dont get blasted by feminist.

but what i'm trying to say is that, thats how nature rolls. nowadays, woman want to be independent, strong willed, not needing to rely on men .. especially in terms on finances. in case the guy has an affair, dies or leaves the house for some reason. she cant find enough trust in a guy.

no problem in that, i could never find enough trust in a person on earth to give my life too. none of us can and ever will be able to. not even to our spouses. the only person we can trust that will never ever fail us is Jesus. He is the only one we can find an assured identity in that is never changing with the wind and waves of the world. He is the one that can provide security, more secure than any home we could build here on earth. because His home is a heavenly one. yet we are still in this world.

basically, girls are looking for something. and sometimes look for it in guys. just to be wrong. over and over again.

guys are finding for something. a sometimes search for it in girls. just to be wrong. over and over again.

i dont want to be repeating this mistake over and over again.

Matthew 7:15
"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves."

prophet. a word so imbued in the church yet so rarely spoken. always be open to make friends and trust peoplebut also know how to take care of the things that matter to you and safeguard them so that you dont get hurt.

the wolfs. the ARE out there. i just hope that they REALIZE that the are one. it would totally be sad if i thought i was a sheep this whole time just to find out at the end of the day i was a wolf that Jesus was speaking about. i mean... if a wolf starts to wear a sheep camouflage from young. eveyday he'll look in the mirror and think that he is a sheep... growing up to be a bigger sheep. they are in the Flasehood not the Brotherhood of believers

if a chirstian is born into a family.. wait no... if a boy is born into a family of christians, he might just be going to church out of tradition. he might just be doing 'God's work' out of indoctrination. heck he might wear a kabadi, roll on the floor, pray five times a day and do a holy pilgrimage all for the sake of making all the more sure that he is not a wolf but a sheep!

are we sheep or are we wolfs. only the Shepard can distinguish. and He WILL keep His beloved sheep safe from the wolves. i havent even started to talk about the goats.

2 Thessalonians 3:6
"In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers and sisters, to keep away from every believer who is idle and disruptive and does not live according to the teaching you received from us."

yup you read that right. straight into your face. there are believers who are idle. i can believe in Jesus, but have no part in God's work what so ever. what is the teaching that YOU received? was it to be prosporus and succesful and rich and drive big expensive cars and live in condo's with maximum securities and be the CEO of a billion dollar company...

then good for you if you stick to what you've been thought by MAN. by a priest or reverend ordained by wahtever instituted. (gosh do not blaspheme, never speak against the work of the Spirit, for He can be grieved and it is unforgivable ... rite?)

CHECK back with what you have been thought  BY GOD.. in his WORD... heck.. do you even read GOd's Word???? or do you just rely on the sunday sermon??? yeah i know sermons are GOd inspired and all... but we can always take and choose to listen and hear only the nice things..

how about if you read God's word and it says. "Go sell everything you have and come follow me" EVERYTHING.... or thinks like.... "the birds of the air have nest and foxes holes, but the Son of Man has NO PLACE to rest His head" ... yeah.. sure.. come to my condo and sleep la..

its not as simple as that, it goes much further... give your heart to Jesus, and all this will be made clear. dont take things out of context like what man can do, like what i can do. read the Word for yourself... its not man who corrects, rebukes and trians you in righteouness... we dont use the Word of God to fix things, rebuke or correct people..... read His Word yourself, and God himself will rebuke you.

and you will learn.

so much better than if a human on earth were to try to use quote lines from a book to help you improve in life.

Matthew 7:22
Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. "Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'

now go... do your Quiet Time. and rest assure, you are called by God my dear soul.
