What Angers God

Matthew 16:23 (KJV)

[23] But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

The Single Greatest Rebuke On Record To A Follower of Christ! When What We Savor and are Interested In-*Isn’t What God Is Interested In…

He Was Called A Devil and Was Told He Was An Offense To God!

*Your Mistakes and Repented Failures He Can Deal With!  But-The Greater Offense Is Being Disinterested In His(God’s) Goals and More Interested In What You Want…

Could It Be That You or Even Our Church Has Entered Into (The Offensive To God Zone?)

Ask Yourself-

    •    What Does God Want?

    •    What Am I Doing To Fulfill That?

Simply Put: The New Testament Church Was Sanctioned to Save The Lost!

Simply Put:

What Am I Doing To Fulfill His Dream?

Knowing The Difference

Proverbs 16:7 (KJV)

[7] When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even *his enemies to be at peace with him.

Knowing The Difference is Like “Night and Day”-(literally) To Have Accurate Perception Makes The Difference….

The Night vs The Day!

The Difference Between- (Your Enemies) and (The Truth’s Enemies)?

When Your Ways “Please The Lord” Then Your Enemies-The Lord Can Make At Peace With You…

Knowing The Difference Means You Won’t Have Misplaced Expectations!

Suffering For The Truth Is Different Than Suffering Because of Your Doings… “Knowing The Difference” Can Help You Immeasurably!

One You Can Change… The Other Is Persecution for “The Truth”-Unchangeable!  

Knowing The Difference…

An Abomination?

Proverbs 16:5 (KJV)

[5] Every one that is proud in heart is *an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

-An Abomination Is Sin On Steroids!

-An Abomination-Means That This Is Detestable To God!

Proud in Heart Is Not A Desirable Trait…

Don’t Be Fooled-

    •    Self Esteem

    •    Self Reliance

    •    Self Confidence

    •    Self Assured

All Have One Major Flaw - “SELF”

“Self” Is What Is All Wrong With Man!

God’s Entire Plan Is Bringing Us To “Dependency” Not On “Self” But on GOD…

Put (God) Where Self Is and Then You Will Have Discovered The Secret Of The Ages…

But If Not-

Be Not Fooled: *though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

Doing What’s Best Came At A Cost

John 16:7 (KJV)

[7] Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is *expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

What Was Best For Us Came At A Great Cost… His (Jesus) Life So We Could Have Life - The Comforter (Holy Ghost)…

    •    If You’re Feeling Troubled

    •    If You’re Feeling Tormented

    •    If You’re Feeling Abandoned

    •    If You’re Feeling Miserable

The Lord Knew His Creation - That We’d Need “Comfort” Help Is Available and Nearer Than You Think! The Holy Ghost Is Our Comforter - Whether You’re  New To Christ and Needed To Be Told  or a Veteran Who Just Needed To Be Reminded! He Did What Was Best For Us - He Died - So You Could Be Comforted!

Please Don’t Waste The Great Sacrifice - Reach Up. He (The Holy Ghost) Is Nearer Than You Think!

Seeing Is Believing?

Proverbs 16:2 (KJV)

[2] All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.

Good Intentions Don’t Always Produce Good Results… One Can Be Sincere Yet Sincerely Wrong!

“Sincerity and Intentions” Should Never Out Weigh “Truth and Obedience.”

Ask Yourself - If God Weighed My Actions and Words on His Scales What Would He See? Seeing What God Sees is More Valuable Than Seeing What You See…

Ask God Today, Lord Show Me What You See… Then Adjust Accordingly!

The Key To Real Peace

John 14:15-16 (KJV)

[15] ¶ If ye love me, keep my commandments.  [16] And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

The word “And” in verse 16 is also translated (Also and Moreover)  Meaning- You Won’t Receive The Blessing of “The Comforter”

Unless You Perform Verse 15! Without The Comforter You’re A Time Bomb That Will Eventually Explode!

The Real Key To Peace - Is A Four Domino Effect!  First You Push One and The Others Follow….

He said:

1.    Love Me

2.    Keep My Commandments

3.    He (Jesus) will Pray for You

4.    The Comforter will Come

The Comforter is The Holy Ghost! Real Peace… not a Bandaid!

Are You always miserable, frustrated, depressed and angry? You might want to check and see if you’re missing a Domino!

I Did It My Way

Proverbs 15:32 (KJV)

[32] He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.

The famous words of a Frank Sinatra song… “I did it my way”  It may have worked well in this life but regrettably in Eternity his soul suffered!

To Refuse Godly Instructions May Seem Good Right Now, But What About When Eternity Begins?

To Please Your Flesh Now May Cost You Your Soul Later! Refusing Biblical Instructions Means That You Despise Your Soul!

The Battle Is Bad Enough With The Devil Fighting Us… Why Help Him By Refusing Instructions?

When God Speaks- Don’t Ask Why… Just Do It!
