IF YOU SOLD YOUR SOUL TO THE DEVIL ASK JESUS TO BUY IT BACK ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez

The Lord put this on my heart a couple of days ago. Just the idea of someone selling their soul to the devil. Is to me, disgusting, deplorable, and myself, I denounce the devil, in any shape or form. Because Christ is my Lord and savior, and I give HIM praise, thanks and glory, in my life, and not ashamed to say so.

But, we live in some strange times. And I suppose this could be possible, though, I know of no one who did that, but it makes you wonder….

See, you wonder about some people, famous people, people who are wealthy, who have power, and you wonder, why there is such a strong following….

Influencers. But what kind? Look at the fruit? Seriously, is it from God? When they live like hell?

For, as a Christian, who really does try to serve God, who really loves God, with all my heart and soul, and I fear God, try and obey God, in everything I do, I see, that the world, does not embrace me. But makes you think why are they so popular? Why does the world love them?

YE ADULTERERS AND ADULTERESSES, KNOW YE NOT THAT THE FRIENDSHIP OF THE WORLD IS ENMITY WITH GOD? WHOSOEVER THEREFORE WILL BE A FRIEND OF THE WORLD IS THE ENEMY OF GOD. James 4:4 King James.

So, because I am often so challenged, yeah I can see, that demons hate me. Because I am not a friend with the world. And I know, God protects me from those demons…

But I am never tempted with even thinking of doing such an ugly thing! Why? Because well, when I walked away from God, those were the darkest times of my life. But…I did not sell my soul, to see how lost I was, and how dark life was without HIM. But I also realized if I had not repented and rededicated my life to Christ, I was bound for hell.

WHO SHALL BE PUNISHED WITH EVERLASTING DESTRUCTION FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD, AND FROM THE GLORY OF HIS POWER. II Thessalonians 1:9 King James.

I am o.k. with that now. Because I repented, and made Christ my Lord and savior. I rededicated my life back to Christ. But there were times, when I have struggled, with just wanting to get ahead. Just learning to be content, with what I have, with what God gives me, and I want to serve God. But to even think that selling your soul would be a solution is not thinking clearly. To say the least…

Why do people think by selling their soul, that will solve their problems? When in fact, it opens one self up to curses, to unhappiness, to eternal separation from God. They are not thinking about that. They just want fame? Or is it more. I don’t know.

But I am talking about the kind of fame, or notoriety that makes you wonder. I am not naming names. Or judging. But one can see some are actually giving signals of their involvement with the occult, and well its sad to see.

So you wonder…. Did they sell their soul to get that fame?

Remember when Jesus, had departed from all, and fasted, and prayed… Do you remember when the devil tempted our Lord Jesus, and told him, to bow down to him, and he would give him the following:

“And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Jesus, did not oblige the devil, in any shape or form, because HE knew who HE was. HE was and is the son of God, and brothers and sisters, in Christ thats who we are.

But to those of you, who have not accepted Christ, who struggle, with even believing you need to know. You are a child of the most High God, if you accept Christ as Lord and savior. You can see yourself differently, because Christ and HIS spirit will show you the difference.

Christ paid the penalty for your sins. HE understood, temptation. HE understood, even at HIS weakest moments that the enemy comes to kill, steal, and destroy. And destroy your chances with God is always the devils plan.

Let Christ be your example, that you do not have to sell your soul. He did not, betray HIMSELF. And I think one has to really ponder on that. Are you betraying yourself by not making Christ your Lord and savior, and you are seeking help from evil?

But you have to know this, that Christ can buy your soul back for you. Maybe you have not sold it, maybe you have inadvertently been serving the devil, and not even knowing it. But, I just felt this message, that you can get your soul back.

EVEN AS THE SON OF MAN CAME NOT TO BE MINISTERED UNTO, BUT TO MINISTER AND TO GIVE HIS LIFE A RANSOM FOR MANY. Matthew 20:28 King James.

He paid the ransom, or another verse, HE paid the penalty. Think of someone who has been kidnapped. Who has no control of their own freedom, and there is a ransom, for that person. If someone has the money, or the funds, and they are able to help free that person they will. They will pay the ransom. Well that is what Christ has done for all of us. By giving HIS life on the cross, HE paid that ransom. So we can be free. And free indeed.

IF THE SON THEREFORE SHALL MAKE YOU FREE, YE SHALL BE FREE INDEED. John 8:36 King James.

I actually believe that there is salvation for someone who perhaps sold their soul. If they ask Christ to pay the ransom for them. But I also believe, and know, that the enemy, always wants to confuse us, take away our hope. Take away our confidence, so we won’t even ask God.

Folks, our salvation, is so precious, I guess, because I almost lost mine, that I see the error, I see how things can give us delusion, for that matter. How we can walk away from God, and think we can handle it on our own. I made that mistake, years ago, and even though I did not sell my soul, hell would have been my destination.

Because it is a choice….

What it first requires though is repentance. Save your soul, by repenting, and telling God, you are sorry for not seeing the value of your soul. See, if Christ could be tempted, HIMSELF, just imagine, why HE came to earth, to save YOU! Because HE understands.

Then you need to pray, and confess with your mouth, that you accept Christ as Lord and savior. Then after that, live for Christ HE died for you.

If I could tell anyone just as a quick word of advice. Get to know God. Know HIM, and yes fear HIM. Make it right with God, before leaving earth, even if you think you sold your soul. I always recommend a King James. Please use a Bible app, or a concordance, and search for King James verses, for anything you need wisdom in.

You don’t have to sell your soul, as well, to know whether or not you are hell bound. Just remember there is no peace to the wicked.

THERE IS NO PEACE, SAITH MY GOD, TO THE WICKED. Isaiah 57:21 King James.

Making it right with Christ, will no longer be a battle in the mind. But you have to decide. Choose this day, whom you will serve…

Hope this blesses you. When you accept Christ as Lord and savior, you can be free from the torment of the enemy. You will be free, you may have to learn who you can be, but you will have spiritual authority in the name of Jesus, to put on the armor of God, and to be protected. The battle in the mind, will be replaced, with a joy and sense of freedom, knowing Christ fought for your soul. When you die, hell will not be your destination. Heaven will be.

Christ will get your soul back for you, to live victoriously.

Blessings, Elena Ramirez

IN 2023 WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO FORGIVE YOU ARE OBEYING GOD ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez

It is the first of the year 2023. I started the year, really, learning a little bit about myself. And yes learning what God wants. You just get that feeling, for me anyway, when I know when I am right, or when I am wrong.

God convicts me. And you know what? I love that. It tells me HE cares enough to correct me, so I can be the best I can be.

And I say this, not condemning myself, but because I know who I was, I see the many mistakes, I have made, the life altering choices I made in my lifetime, that sometimes were things that had great impact on me, and hurt me. I see it, and I won’t get into details, but I have had poor judgment in my life. When it comes to people, when it comes to decisions, I have made, I have seen how I missed it. I used to say, I missed the boat, the plane and the train.

But I do not say that any more because my trust and hope is in God.

Well I am still waiting. For what I don’t know. But I wait on God. I trust HIM. But I have my part, and thats to obey. In everything as much as I can.

See, one thing I have learned, is to forgive. Why? Because truly God has forgiven me, for the dumb things I have done, HE has extended grace to me. I have learned that, and I want to be like HIM as well.

I have been hurt many times, by people. People I loved, people I have known. People that I esteemed highly. And that hurt, has just been a part of my life, all of my life. I won’t deny that it has not hurt. But I learned to forgive. Why did I forgive?

Because again, God has taught me to forgive. But I know its poison. I just know it. I don’t want that in me.

I know God watches us. I know HE sees how we will react, when someone hurts us. You know one thing I think is ugly? Is vengeance. Revenge. I just don’t want that in my soul. My spirit. I have many enemies you know that? I do. But I don’t want to curse anybody or do things discreetly to hurt them. Thats in my spirit. To make the choice to forgive, and to walk in love. And I tell you friend, if thats NOT in your heart, you need to go to God, and repent. So HE can forgive you, and you can go on.

The enemy knows, what buttons to push. Just don’t let HIM push that button when it comes to forgiving. He knows hate, and anger will rest in your soul, and poison you. I always wondered how that affects physical health, because it can grow and be manifested, but I pray it does not affect us physically. I think it does. Or it could.

So not taking any chances. I just choose to forgive. I try and talk it out when I have been hurt, I release it that way. With God, or the person, who hurt me. But, some are not even accountable, enough to admit when they have been the perpetrator in things, and they don’t care, if I offer grace or not. Nor do they care to be forgiven. Which is so strange to me, because I believe thats ugly as well. But oh well. One cannot control people to do things, it always has to be a choice. And I just do not choose to hold a grudge, or to deny forgiveness.

Either way, I know we reap what we sow. Whether good or evil in a matter. And I have seen God deal with those, who have hurt me. I am not lying either, when I say the fear of God seeing this, scares me, not to try and hurt someone on purpose. Because I have seen God fight my enemies for me, and actually it scared me. Because HE says, vengeance is mine, I will repay, and I have seen it. Yet it has comforted me because God shows me.

I am not weak, when I offer forgiveness. I just choose to be strong in Christ, and put it in HIS hands.

Its only the first of the year, but in two days, I have seen myself offer grace to myself, and someone I loved, and made the choice to let it go. It so released me, I felt it immediately.

That my friend, is called obedience. To our Lord, who suffered and died, so we could be set free.

I am grateful. God only knows what the year holds. But I am already sensing it will be a good year. Because I choose to forgive. And in that, God protects me. I know it.

I guess in the back of my mind, I realize, I will stand before God. I want to go to heaven, and be with HIM, our Lord Jesus. When the book of life is opened, I don’t want it to reflect that I had been unforgiving, or if I even offended and hurt someone on purpose. Thats why I do repent, here on earth even daily. Because we can miss it, and I have been prayed for things I did as a child, that was wrong. But I want God to say well done, good and faithful servant. Because I forgive. And HE has forgiven me.

Oh well, just sharing today, praying I inspired you. Let it go friend, its time.

In Jesus. Love and blessings. Elena Ramirez

ITS NOT PRIDE ITS SELF-PRESERVATION ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez

This tree is called the Angel Oak.  Its over 1000 years old, I have been told.  Its in South Carolina, between Charleston, and Kiawah Island.  It’s magnificent.

It is off the main road, so you have to take a small detour to view it.

When I think about this tree, and how it has survived for so long, with weather, and just the forces of nature, and its survived.  I see Gods protection over it.  For His reasons.  It has been preserved.  

It reminds me, that we need protection from God, and can receive it.  It reminds me, that sometimes, one must self preserve themselves.  Through Christ. 

I guess I am thinking about this, because sometimes I get weary, with folks, or with attitudes.  And it’s not that I have pride, but I don’t make the attempt, to reach out too much any more, because I need to self preserve.

I need to protect myself.  Sometimes, I just need to get away from drama or toxicity, and just seek the Lord.  

I do that by getting away from social media now and then.  By being quiet.  

I am in a situation, now where one might think I have pride.  One might think I am being stubborn.  And maybe I am.  But, I am only doing it to protect myself.  When I see others, really cannot see the error of their own ways, why should I be the one to reach out?  Why should I give myself, over and over again?  After a while, people take advantage of your good nature, and just expect it.  

Think again. 

I am a giver, but there are things one should not give away.  In relationships, and in life.  Like respect.  

Respecting yourself, sometimes comes with self-preservation.  There are lessons in life, where we need to cherish.  But if we cannot begin with God, and our family, and then friends.  We might lose, something special.  I am very protective now. 

I am aware that pride is something God hates.  And I never want to have that, but when I see, I am not the one who has the pride.  Or, I am not the one who did not cherish, or care enough, I can walk away.  I cannot betray myself, though, I felt betrayed.   

Its not that I don’t care.  I do.  I care more then I can say, so I pray, for these individuals.  But some times, when you see something that just isn’t right, well I trust the Holy Spirit.  Call it your gut instinct.  The foreboding thought.  One might have.  I had that, recently, and it kind of scared me. To walk away.  Though, I cared, I sensed I had to let go. 

I believe that came from the Lord, to warn me.  So I trust Him. In fact, I depend on the Lord, for discernment.  

I need to now and then.  I have learned, my lessons, in these matters.  I must trust God.  

Its not pride, its self-preservation.

IN THE MOUTH OF THE FOOLISH IS A ROD OF PRIDE: BUT THE LIPS OF THE WISE SHALL PRESERVE THEM.  

PROVERBS 14:3 KING JAMES.  

Hope this blesses you.  Feel free to share.    Thank you Lord, I needed a verse, to relate this to, and you knew.  You always do that for me, thank you for preserving me, and protecting me Lord.  I pray that for others too.  

See as much as I am trying to protect myself, I pray that for others too, I pray God bless them.  I pray, they see as well the error of their own ways.  So they are not giving place to the enemy.  That would grieve me.   I do wish all love. 

 

In Christ, Elena Ramirez

Think again!  Be warned, this is not going to be a feel good message, that tickles your ears, or sugar coats truth.  To just let you go on your way.  Nope this message, my post today, my thoughts, that I submit to God, will not do this, but I pray, that will open your eyes to truth, for a real spiritual revival and understanding.

Because none of us are entitled to feel the way we do.  How dare any of us, think we are entitled.  Because it then gives you permission, to do what is wrong.  But many do.  And many do, not having the fear of God.  Or a sense of guidance from God, and so everything they think or do, without God, turns into pride, and they think they are entitled.

Entitled, to be angry, entitled to hate.  Entitled, to do what they want, when they want it.  To just take it.  Entitled, to disobey Gods truth, and choose what they want. Entitled to hurt others, with no parameters.  And even entitled to deny God!  The worst….

And this is just scratching the service.

Because even though God gives us the choice in emotions, or thoughts, to choose from.  The truth is we do not know without Gods instruction, how to see that we are not entitled.  Lets use a couple of examples forgiving, and fear, to make the point.

You see, we are called to forgive.  We are called to walk in love.  We are called, to first and foremost, love the Lord with all our hearts, and souls, and minds, and obey.  That love should be there.  

But it is not there, when you don’t forgive.  When you choose, to be angry, because someone hurt you.  So you feel “entitled” to keep those bitter ugly feelings, because you were hurt.  Well hello….we all are hurt, at some point or another.

But it is what you do with that emotion, that feeling, that can come straight from hell, by either obeying God, or disobeying Him.  If you do love God, with that commandment, you give Him the hurt, because lets be honest, He was hurt the most, by going to the cross for all of our sins.  But you give Him this love, this pain, this sorrow, whatever it is, and you forgive, because this is what He did, for you, and for me.

Entitlement, owning what you feel, can sadly, be misrepresented, to deceive you.  How can any of us, truly understand, the spiritual implications though, unless we know Gods ways?  And He tells us, our ways, are not His ways.  But we are also told in scripture, we can have the mind of Christ.  Look it up, as well in a King James bible.

But we have to reject this sense of entitlement and to totally bring it to the obedience of the cross.  

CASTING DOWN IMAGINATIONS, AND EVERY HIGH THING THAT EXALTETH ITSELF AGAINST THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, AND BRINGING INTO CAPTIVITY EVERY THOUGHT TO THE OBEDIENCE OF CHRIST; II CORINTHIANS 10:5.

Obedience is the only true sense of entitlement, to trust God, to change us.  But, if we go on, with humanistic, thoughts, with no foundation in Christ, we are being deceived.  Because entitlement, can cause you or me, to walk in pride.  Pride that thinks its your accomplishment, or your right, so it puffs up your head so big, you forget to be humble.  You forget to extend mercy to someone else, to forgive.  To even be kind…

And lets just be honest.  God hates pride.  He will not bless pride.  So you think your entitled to be prideful?  Think again…

Now lets talk about fear, for a sense, because many times, we have fear.  And something has also caused us to be timid, or to be afraid.  And I don’t dispute that we can feel that.  Sometimes it is our gut instinct.  But what I am saying, is God in His word, for an example, has told us in II Timothy 1:7.  He has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.  I am paraphrasing this, but look it up from a King James….

There is that thought of a sound mind, again, and that comes from Christ.  But you may think you are entitled to go around every day, afraid, of every little thing, and mess your head up daily, and speak fearful things, because you don’t know God, can take care of it.  So you torture yourself, in your sense of entitlement, and you torture others with this fear….

God have mercy, that you see this.  How can you have faith, unless you give God that fear, so you can have faith?

We have to learn, how to harness, anything we feel, and see, very carefully where we go wrong.  

BUT GOD LED THE PEOPLE ABOUT, THROUGH THE WAY OF THE WILDERNESS OF THE RED SEA:  AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WENT UP HARNESSED OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT.  Exodus 13:18.

We all sin, we all come short of the glory of God.  We all make mistakes.  But if we continually make mistakes over, and over again, we do not learn.  Not only will we come short, but we will totally miss the plan, God has for us.

What I am trying, by the grace of God for you to see, and for myself as well.  We really are not entitled to anything, without Gods mercy.  Without His permission.  Without His approval.  Without the life, He gives us.  He is so gracious.  He gives us a choice.  It has always been a choice, since the beginning of time, even with Adam and Eve.  But we reap what we sow.  These are principles He has established.  Laws of Gods Kingdom.  So we have to see it now.  And then sometimes, we run out of time.  There are no more chances.  There are no more extensions of this grace and mercy.  

THEREFORE TURN THOU TO THY GOD: KEEP MERCY AND JUDGMENT, AND WAIT ON THY GOD CONTINUALLY.  HOSEA 12:6.

I am trying with all my might, to just find my way myself.  But I know, that Christ is that way.  He is the truth, and life.  JOHN 14:6.

I can look back, and I can see, how I have made my own mistakes.  Even sins….By assuming, and thinking I am entitled to feel what I feel, and do what I wanted to do, and it led straight right to hell on earth.

Folks, even in the Bibles we choose.  We are not entitled to disobey God in this.  Not when the King James has been established, to be holy and anointed, how dare any of us, use something that would be corrupted, or changed.  When the warnings have been there, do not change, add, or delete His Holy word.  If Revelation 22:18-19 does not warn us enough, that salvation could be lost, or our names removed from the book of life, what is it going to take to lose that sense of entitlement that your salvation is secure?  Nothing is worth losing our souls over.  For hell is eternal.

And lets talk about entitlement concerning your soul.  Do you think it is secure?  So you sin, and do not repent?  Think again.  Don’t play with your salvation, because you accepted Christ, as Lord and savior, but returned to sin.  You are not entitled!  God is not mocked, and that fear of God should kick in, because you are in eternal danger.  

And to be blunt, you will be entitled for God to judge you and send you straight to hell, if you do not take Him at His Holy word! Thats just the way it is.  He is God!  

But heaven be yours by what He did, in making Him your Lord and savior, and that is an entitlement, He has promised.  But that is only gained by Christ.

And I think though, that if we become aware of this and lose that sense of entitlement, we have, that is not His ways, even in what we feel, and take it to the obedience of Christ, and take it to search for God, we can find our way, His way.  For Christ is that way.

I told you this was not going to be a feel good message.  But it can help you, I know it.  But you or me, we are not entitled, to anything.  Without God, we are lost.  And how dare any of us, think we are owed anything, but to love one another.  And love God with all our hearts, souls, and minds.

What a waste, if we think we are entitled.  And worse yet, to the one who demands to be served, because you feel entitled.  Open your eyes, your heart, your soul.  Quit stealing, what does not belong to you.  Even in words.  The only one truly entitled is Christ.  For He without sin, took our sins.

I hope this helps.  Entitlement…..

Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses. (‭Matthew‬ ‭18‬:‭23-35‬ KJV)

Sin, it separates us from God.  Sometimes we don’t even know we sin, because we think we are o.k.  But then a heartache may come, a sorrow, and we cannot understand why could this even happen to us?  

God uses these things to draw us close to Him, if we just only search….

You see, we do reap what we sow.  Some call it Karma, but it is a scriptural principle.  So please do not use that word, like the world.  Understand it by the scripture.  The “principle” of Gods Kingdom.  

BE NOT DECEIVED; GOD IS NOT MOCKED; FOR WHATSOEVER A MAN SOWETH, THAT SHALL HE ALSO REAP.  FOR HE THAT SOWETH TO HIS FLESH SHALL OF THE FLESH REAP CORRUPTION; BUT HE THAT SOWETH TO THE SPIRIT SHALL OF THE SPIRIT REAP LIFE EVERLASTING.  GALATIANS 6:7-8

Like what goes up, comes down.  Its the principles, of life, God has placed, as parameters, to guide us.  To teach us.  To protect us.  To know, with understanding, and true knowledge, His ways.  

Sometimes, it takes a whole lifetime, to teach us these things, but if we receive the instruction and correct them in time, we may be able not only to avoid heartache, but receive healing.  Not only spiritual, but even physical.  Even for future generations.  If we see it in time, we may even produce fruit.  Spiritual fruit, as well, as physical fruit.  

I feel like I am talking to someone.  Yet, I know this applies to all of us.  God is talking to all of us.  But, I know because of my own life.  I know, I have reaped, many things, that I wish I had not gone through.  These heartaches and sorrows.  Even physical ailments, have caused me to humble myself in the sight of God, and ask why?  And He has shown me through His holy word.  My sins, separated me from God.  

But I have learned from these sorrows and heartaches, and I humble myself before God.  Pleading the blood of Jesus, acknowledging my sins.  Even now still, I think of my past sins, and I am so ashamed.  

They caused heartache, sorrows, and even illness.  Yes illness.  If you smoke, or sin, the sin, produces illness.  Like cancer.  

One might ask, how can a good God, allow heartache and sorrow?  Look at the world, some may say.  There is this and that, and what kind of a good God would allow this?  

If we look closer, even with Adam and Eve, He did not want us to eat from the tree of good and evil.  But disobedience, caused it.  It separated them from God, and to this day, it will also separate us from Him.  

Yet, they do not see, that when we disobey.  When we do not take God at His holy word, there are repercussions.  Christ warned us.  He said, do not be deceived.  He told us, that the enemy, comes to kill, steal, and destroy.  We are told, not to give place to the enemy.  We are told, not to sin.  We are told, we reap what we sow.  We are told truth.  But many do not heed it.  

The principle then takes an alternate route from the good things God has promised, and therein is the answer.  Its disobedience.  And that does not produce good things.  

God has taught me, and it has humbled me, so much so.  I throw away any pride, any self ability, and see, I am nothing without God.  I cried an still do cry at the mercy seat, and my Lord, did have mercy on me.

And does, but I am so careful now.  So very, very careful, to try and do it His way.  Because though, I am not exactly where I wanted to be, or could have been.  I have now just a strong sense of who He is.  And the love, and mercy He extends to all of us.  By sending His Son, our Lord, to die for my sins, on that cross, has given me such a strong desire to learn His ways.  To obey.  Our dear Lord Jesus, took our sins, upon Him.  

Yes, God corrects us, but He tells us, He does so, because He loves us.  

MY SON, DESPISE NOT THE CHASTENING OF THE LORD; NEITHER BE WEARY OF HIS CORRECTION:  FOR WHOM THE LORD LOVETH HE CORRECTETH; EVEN AS A FATHER THE SON IN WHOM HE DELIGHTETH.  HAPPY IS THE MAN THAT FINDETH WISDOM, AND THE MAN THAT GETTETH UNDERSTANDING.  PROVERBS 3:11-12.  

This love, does have conditions.  People say, oh God loves you unconditionally.  But thats wrong to say.  He loves you, yes, but He does not accept sin.  He does not accept disobedience.  He has conditions, and they produce excellence. The fear of God, is so important in matters like this.  

But then again you hear.  I don’t fear God.  He is too good.  Yes, He is good, but He is not mocked.  Again, we reap what we sow.  Teachings that do not include being in obedience, with fear of God, do not take His holy word to heart.  When was the last time you heard that?

And this is what I see, as I look at so many ministries, and feel good religions, that take truth, and disregard it.  They do not take a Holy word, and an anointed word, a King James preserved word, and they use these corrupted bibles, and mans word, to validate something, that God has not approved of, or accepted.  

And people wonder why God has abandoned them, or will not answer their prayer, or let them continue to have heartache and sorrow, or whatever else it may be that ails them.

There is no peace to the wicked.  This is scriptural. Look it up in a King James bible.  Begin searching for answers.  You will find them.  But….

There is no answer without God in it.  Our world, has purposely decided, to eliminate God from the picture, and because of that, it has brought curses.  

Think about the curses, that the Egyptians, reaped, when they would not let the people of God free, and Moses, continually went back and forth.  Everything from pestilence, to frogs, to the first born dying, were curses, because they would not believe God.  To set those people free.

Now we see in our world, everything, as well, that clearly shows, the repercussions, of sins.  I pray we get it right.  But we have in our world, many heartaches, and sorrows, because of our disobedience.  

I can only suggest, that you study yourself, your ways, your thoughts, and see what are they based on?  God could use you.  

Repentance, clears the slate, for all of us.  None is holy, we all have sinned, we all fall short of the glory of God.  

But I write to you, if you wonder why you have had this heartache or heartaches.  Just so you know, again, God will, and can and does use these things to correct us, to change us, to His ways.  

Repentance, and prayer, with a good King James Bible are the tools you need to change, that heartache and sorrow, to joy in the Lord.  Learning Gods ways.  

And I just have to say something here as well, as the Lord prompts me, do not return evil from some heartache or sorrow you have gotten even from someone else.  Vengeance belongs to God not us.  

You may be hurt, and with sorrow, and may not understand the principles, but seek God, let Him, mend your heart.  Let Him, show you His ways.  Let Him, be your comfort.  Let Him, be your love.  

This is not the time to be lazy.  Or put it off.  Tomorrow is not promised to anyone.  Get it right now.  WAKE UP PEOPLE!

Truth counts….Not only now my friends, but for eternity.  Christ is the way, the truth, and the life.  John 14:6 King James.
