His Glory II

Imagine a pathway...a road way if you will..

just a road, and this road is surrounded by trees on either side..

deep dark forest on either side. All you can see for miles ahead of you

is just road, a pathway through the forrest of trees on either side.

Now this small straight long never ending road

is the "road" God wants you to be on,

it's full of bumps and hills to climb...(or mountains rather)

but it's His road....His pathway for you,

and while on this road nothing can touch you,

on this road you can hear God speak to you, in that still small voice,

on this road God can work through you. In short

on this road all things are possible,

Satan doesn't want you on this road....the world

doesn't want you on this road. You see

they want you wandering through the forrest..

in darkness where there is no light,

and there is no clear and present path.

We all stumble off the road from time to time,

most of the time we can say to ourselves...

"wait a second...I'm not suppose to be over here"

and we can get back on that road.

However sometimes

we can end up lost in that forrest of trees...

but all we have to do is cry out,

like a child who lost his way, and our father will come running.

Today I see people who choose to walk on the road

only when it's convenient for them,

and then they wander off into the forrest and wonder

why God isn't there. Why can't I hear God?

or why doesn't God help me with this?

or Why am I struggling through this?

Look at yourself, and ask yourself

are you where God wants you to be?

are you wandering through a forrest asking for miracles or

asking to hear Gods voice? maybe if you get back on the

road..get back to where you're suppose to be..

you wouldn't even have to ask, ever think of that?

Don't take the metaphor the wrong way...

I'm not talking about earning Gods grace or

by works we can be saved..

this isn't about Going to heaven or hell or whatever

gobbledygook Satan would want you to believe.

Because as I said before and i'll say it again...

none of us deserve Gods grace..

we are all guilty of sin and deserve to burn in hell.

All sin is the same..I don't care what you have done

in Gods eyes and law I am just as guilty as you are.

What I am saying is this...

die to Christ..plain and simple just die unto Christ..

give up yourself for his glory, love as he love's.

Have we all sinned? Yes..

Do we all fall down and sin? Yes...

does that give us the right to? NO..

What shall we say, then?

Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?

By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?

Romans 6:1-2

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under

law but under grace? By no means!

Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone

to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death,

or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?

But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin,

you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching

to which you were entrusted.

You have been set free from sin and have become

slaves to righteousness.

I put this in human terms because you are

weak in your natural selves.

Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery

to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness,

so now offer them in slavery to righteousness

leading to holiness.

When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. What benefit did you reap at that time

from the things you are now ashamed of?

Those things result in death!

But now that you have been set free from sin

and have become slaves to God,

the benefit you reap leads to holiness,

and the result is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death,

but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 6:15-23

All I'm trying to say plain and simple is this..

If we don't repent from our sins,

if we don't turn away from them,

if we are not doing what God wants us to do..

we can't expect our spirits to be filled.

Don't expect God to work through you,

Don't expect to hear his voice

when he has already revealed something he wants you to

turn from, and yet you choose not to.

We have to learn from our mistakes and grow..

not keep doing the same mistakes and expect a miracle.

Again...you are forgiven...However

You can't live in sin(be a slave to sin)

and have the blessings of God aswell..

Can't put yourself first and do what you want to do,

because we are nothing but sinful bags of flesh..

we have to seek Gods will for our lives and follow it,

not our own.

God wants nothing but the best for you,

he wants to bless you..

he wants to reveal himself to you.

when we are refusing to turn away from something

he has asked us to turn from,

he still loves us....He sent his son to die on a cross

because he knows we can never be perfect little saints.

In the end..we can't save ourselves,

we didn't find God

he revealed himself to us

HE FOUND US

It's not about you...

It's not about me...

It's about his glory...
