GOD'S VIEW
God's view is quite simple! He wants us to believe
in Jesus of Nazareth (God in human form, Messiah, Christ) to be God and that He died for
our sins (Jn 3:16). That we only have to say to Him, we are sorry in our heart, for our
past sins and admit that we are incapable of keeping His commandments, without His help!
By saying, this and meaning it, He places His Holy Spirit into us for now and forever (so much for being able to lose your salvation),
which will guide us (Jn 14:26) and teach us about His Will for us, while on this planet! Or to use today's vernacular of computers, when you repent and ask for God's Help, He downloads the program, Holy Spirit 1.0 into you to act as a universal Google program, where you have real access to all of God's Will for you! This is not full of fleshly knowledge as with the earthly Google service but spiritual knowledge!
You see we cannot do one, NOT ONE, righteous act on our own, or through what The Word (The
Bible) calls the flesh, because since Adam and Eve, we have fallen natures, only capable
of satisfying our wants, pretty much like animals. Jesus (God) knows our needs and is the only One capable of
instructing us in our walk (Eph 2:10).
He is the only One who knows everyone else's
needs, also. The only one! (1 Cor 2:11). No one else, not Mary or some saint (anyone who accepts Jesus
is a saint, (Phil. 1:1) knows the thoughts or needs of each one of us. Consequently, we
cannot even give to the poor or needy without the guiding of the Holy Spirit, because He
only knows where they are at in their walk and whether they are being chastened,
instructed, or placed in those conditions to show that they can love Jesus and do His work
anyway! This is especially true in today's world, full of con artists. I worked in a
christian food kitchen and the leader warned us against giving to beggars on the street,
but instead directing them to the mission, because he had seen too many of them take the
money and buy alcohol or drugs.
The Lord gave me the following analogy (I think or it might have been the pizza I had) of what it is to be a christian in today's world. We are like an automobile. The driver is the Holy Spirit (HS). Until we let the HS get into us, we either cannot move or if we start rolling we cannot steer ourselves and we wreck! And once the HS begins driving us He begins doing the Father's Work. He might drive and pick up someone and take them to the Father's house, where they learn the gospel and become part of the kingdom of God. Unfortunately, we (as the car) want to brag about what has happened, when we had nothing to do with it but that we let the HS do the driving and we were just there. The HS might turn on the radio and beautiful music might come out or someone speaking very knowledgeable things, even spiritual things! And what do we do, like the car, try to take credit for it, while it was totally the HS's work. We are so weak that we cannot be trusted to do anything but submit. No other religion gives you this power. They expect you to drive yourself (the car) someway. As we begin to realize that the HS is doing the work it is actually evidence that we have the HS inside of us. See the discussion later where I note some indicators of how you know you have been "saved," have the HS inside!
So you can call God's people Christians (Christo
is greek for Christ or Messiah), if you wish, but we have no religion (depicted as fields
in the Bible, (Gen. 37:15). Religions are man-made consisting of rituals, ways of eating,
celebrating and they mean nothing to God unless He is directing our actions, through the
Holy Spirit. Barry Minkow (born again Jew), was the youngest person to take a company public in American financial history, stated, "religion is for someone who is afraid of going to Hell, whereas, spirituality is for someone who has already been to Hell"! Go to his church, Sandiego Community Bible to learn about his ministry! We have a personal relationship with The Almightly God. You see, this is unique to all religions. No other religion gives you this power! You are expected to do
it on your own, being judged and evaluated all of the time. You never know if you are
pleasing your god or doing what he wants. Mohammed, Budda, Hari Krisna, Gaia, or any other
gods cannot provide this to you. They cannot, because they are just idols. We all have our
Idols, which is in a sense "a god", because it keeps us from worshipping the
true God, fully. The Greeks were more up front about their gods, that they worshipped, and
called them by name. We are more subtle and call our god something we do to
"relieve stress" or "relax." And why does God give us this
priviledge to enter into eternity with Him? Is it because how moral we are? Is
it because we help others? NO! It is because He wants to give it to us
unconditionally. He paid for our sins on the cross and suffered more hardships than
we will ever face, in human form, so He could fully relate to us. As my former Pastor said,
"grace is like being stopped by a policeman for speeding and instead of giving you
the ticket you deserve, he instead gives you a cash
prize." Many of us would respond to the policeman in a positive way because of
his grace to us. Once we understand God's grace we want to respond to His
unconditional love to us. And not only does He give us the free gift of grace but He
puts His Holy Spirit into us to guide and prompt us as time passes and hardships come or
we forget about His gift. Also, we get to spend eternity with Him exploring His infinitely large universe. Click on the following to learn more about how large and interesting His Universe is. Again, no other God does this for its subjects. Ours
is the one and only true God!! If you want to know if you have the Holy Spirit residing in you, go here for more information!
Use the following great free resource, the Blue Letter Bible, to verify my scripture references! Verify what I or anyone else says about the Bible (WORD) for yourself! You can't use us or a priest or pastor or other religious figure for an excuse on judgement day. You are willing to spend all kind of time researching an investment or where to get your car worked on but are you willing to invest time in possibly the most important decision you will ever make - eternity?
Why does God allow troubles into our lives? This is probably the number 1 question people seem to have! The following is a great commentary on why God permits disasters or problems to enter into our life:
"What is
God telling you with the problems He permits in your life?
The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you depending on
how you respond to them. Unfortunately most people fail to see how God
wants to use problems for good in their lives. They react foolishly and
resent their problems rather than pausing to consider what benefit they
might bring.
Here are five ways God wants to use the problems in your life:
God uses problems to DIRECT you. Sometimes God must light a fire under
you to get you moving. Problems often point us in a new direction and
motivate us to change. Is God trying to get your attention? "Sometimes
it takes a painful situation to make us change our ways." Proverbs 20:30
(GN)
God uses problems to INSPECT you. People are like tea bags. If you want
to know what's inside them, just drop them into hot water! Has God ever
tested your faith with a problem? What do problems reveal about you?
"When you have many kinds of troubles, you should be full of joy,
because you know that these troubles test your faith, and this will give
you patience." James 1:2-3 (NCV)
God uses problems to CORRECT you. Some lessons we learn only through
pain and failure. It's likely that as a child your parents told you not
to touch a hot stove. But you probably learned by being burned.
Sometimes we only learn the value of something, health, money and a
relationship. By losing it. "It was the best thing that could have
happened to me, for it taught me to pay attention to your laws." Psalm
119:71-72 (LB)
God uses problems to PROTECT you. A problem can be a blessing in
disguise if it prevents you from being harmed by something more serious.
Last year a friend was fired for refusing to do something unethical that
his boss had asked him to do. His unemployment was a problem - but it
saved him from being convicted and sent to prison a year later when
management's actions were eventually discovered. "You intended to harm
me, but God intended it for good." Genesis 50:20 (NIV)
God uses problems to PERFECT you. Problems, when responded to correctly,
are character builders. God is far more interested in your character
than your comfort. Your relationship to God and your character are the
only two things you're going to take with you into eternity. "We can
rejoice when we run into problems they help us learn to be patient. And
patience develops strength of Character in us and helps us trust God
more each time we use it; until finally our hope and faith are Strong
and steady." Romans 5:3-4 (LB)
Here's the point: God is at work in your life-even when you do not
recognize it or understand it. But it's much easier and profitable when
you cooperate with Him. Print this out and read this regularly. Some of
you could probably use this right now!'
I think maybe, God, allowed me to get Prostate Cancer (PC), last Summer (2017), to protect me! Let me give you my thoughts, on this:
I, like most men, unless they have nearly zero testosterone (T) coursing through their veins, are constantly in a state of lust of the flesh, which severly effects one's thoughts! And, if cancer had not happened to me, I may have been seduced by Satan's minions.
I heard a researcher say that, all males, are subject to a large surge of T, early in the morning, followed by an hourly small dose of T, the remainder of the day. Consequently, ours brains are almost constantly subject to thoughts of sex. This is made worse in today's rapidly declining moral state of affairs. We are constantly besieged by nudity or near nudity, in TV commercials, shows and movies, and radio and TV commercials about ED products. Even at the church, I USED to attend, the Pastor was allowing women and their teenage daughters, to show cleavage! We men, even with the Holy Spirit, are almost like male dogs, when it comes to sex, ready for it at all times! And when it comes to this corrupt world's obsession with sex, we are very easely corrupted by it. And with the Internet, pornography, is just a click away on connected devices.
So, I prayed to the Lord to take this lust away from me! And He allowed me to develop Prostate Cancer! And you know what prostate cancer primarially maintains itself with? TESTOSTERONE! So, not only surgery and or radiation (or both) are necessary, but, commonly hormone treatment (ADT) is, also, required to remove the T to almost zero levels. Well, when the T is lowered, guess what happens to the "sex" drive? It drastically reduces and the ability to perform, along with it. In some ways it makes us more like women. At the age of 70, the desire had slightly decreased, but as long as the T is there in normal levels, sex is always in the mind. Normal males, first think about sex, unlike females, who it tends to be the last thing on the mind, unless they are ovulating or are drinking alcohol. Studies show that low levels of alcohol consumption, increase the testosterone levels in females.
So, now I am free of it, for at least 2'5 years, while I am on ADT. Will I eventually die of PC? Only God knows and if He wills it, so be it! To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord! Statistically, however, this will probably not happen because PC is the slowest growing cancer of all and men usually die of something else, especially if it is treated fairly early in it's progression. So, now I am virtually free of lust and can spend more time trying to do God's Will. Is this why I got PC? Only He knows but I am not bitter about it and still want to spread God's Word, anyway I can!
PRAYER is a very misused/misunderstood concept in Christianity! Misused because, for a lot of indiduals, prayer is performed to get something from God, regardless of what He thinks about the situation. However, 1 John 5:14-15 says, “And this is the confidence that we have toward Him, that if we ask anything according to His Will he hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of Him.” This does not say that if you or enough peopled pray for God to do something, that He definitely do it! It says to me that God is going to get His Will done regardless of our wishes and desires. We are too influenced by the flesh to even begin to know what we or someone else needs! So, our goal should be to seek God's Will, in a situation, and then pray about it, if you wish! Go Here for a great review of this topic!
These are excellent points about trials in this life! And to help put this in perspective try to realize that our goal here is Heaven with our real Father Who will take care of us for ever in the way that is appropriate for us! Life on this earth is a form of Hell where everyone is interested solely in themselves or a small circle of relatives and friends around them and this justifies all sorts of perverse actions, in their minds, to propagate this relationship! The ultimate challenge for us earth dwellers is the death of loved ones or friends! However, the irony of this is that we are so shallow that we don't realize that, if the individual is a believer and saved as we Christians term it, they will be immediately sent to Heaven! If we asked them if they wanted to return they would say NO because they now understand their purpose and thus have NO desire to return to this Hell on earth! I know this is mind blowing but we should celebrate where they are and although we will miss them them, they are better off and for some reason God has chosen to expedite their journey! We should rejoice in those who pass on! I have a saying that we will all enter Heaven with an embarrassed look on our face because we will finally realize that we are where we have always wanted and needed to be and we will have NO desire to go back!!!! This all has to do with "being in the world and not of it" because as we look at things as the world does, we can't help but keep trying to find Heaven here on earth, as the nonbeliever does, and no matter how many things or money or relationships or friends or whatever we search for, we will not be truly happy for any length of time!!!
