True Rebellion

Numbers 16:12 (KJV)

[12] And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said,

We will not come up:

There Is a Distinct Difference Between-

(We Will Not)

And

(We Cannot)

Will Not vs. Cannot

And The Fight Has Begun…

Will Not-Refuses to Obey

Cannot-Is Not Able

GOD TRULY KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE

In Each and Everyone of Us…

Our Responses and Words May Be Detractors or Camouflage-

But God Knows…

God said that His “sheep”, not strong predators were His….

Meek, unassuming, forgiving, easily entreated and harmless…

When Asked-

Your Response Determines if You’re

A Rebel…

A Pig’s Nose?

Proverbs 11:22 (KJV)

[22] As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.

We Are All Jewels of a Great Precious Price to the Lord…

And Yet Our Value is Greatly Diminished by Where We Are…

Where Are You Living?

It Can Make a Difference…

Beautiful Clean Clothes In a Sewer

Are Well… greatly diminished…

Where You Live and What You Provide as an Habitation Should Be Carefully Thought Out!

A pig’s snout house and a beautiful woman(without discretion)

Have A Lot In Common…

Unity to No Avail

Proverbs 11:21 (KJV)

[21] Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.

The Power of Unity is an Unbelievable Dynamic That Multiplies a Single Value with Another to Unbelievable Power…

BUT GOD-

Even Though The Enemy Has Surrounded You and You Are Outnumbered and the Power of Them Joining Hand in Hand-

God Is the “Game-Changer”

Just Him and He Alone with you

Can Defeat All Who Come Against You…

Deliverance Is Not How Many Friends You Have-

It Is Because of Who That Friend Is…

The Unbeatable Force-

You and God!

Helping God

James 5:19-20 (KJV)

19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;

20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

When somebody (errs) or strays away from the Truth

And you…

⁃ Rather than        

         mistreat

⁃ Rather than

         sympathize

But… Rather help them (from their error)

And reconvert

them-(the Bible calls them sinners)

To the Right Way!

You become helpful in…

⁃ Saving their

         soul

⁃ Covering a

          multitude of sin

Helping God!

Key of wisdom-

*Be a part of the solution

Not the problem…

1 Peter 4:11

Does Anyone Care How God Feels?

John 11:35 (KJV)

Jesus wept.

Honestly, sometimes we become so (self absorbed) that we forget this one question:

*Does Anyone Care How God Feels?

While we are pursuant and fevered in our anxious attempt to let everybody know how we feel, could we take a moment today and ask ourselves this question-

*How Does God Feel?

When we are at our lowest, and when we feel like nobody listens or understands we tend to take it out on God!

• Not Go To Church (His house)

• Not Sing Songs to Him (if we do go)

• Not Worship Him (again, in His House)

• Not Pray to Him

• Not Listen to The Message (a Word from Him)

The one who has done nothing damaging to us seems to receive the brunt end of our frustrations!

*Does Anyone Care How God Feels?

Protect Your Heart

Proverbs 15:13 (KJV)

A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

• Destruction and Attack To Your Body…

• Danger and Harm to Your Person…

Can Be Hurtful and Painful

But None of Which Can Break Your Spirit!

*Only damage to your heart affects your spirit!

Protect Your Heart from Invaders and Trespassers!

DO NOT OPEN YOUR HEART TO JUST ANYTHING!

Only to God and Godliness…

A Broken Heart Means a Broken Spirit-

*This Will Destroy You and Your Walk With God!

Protect Your Heart Today.

Let it be a place that God dwells!

1 Peter 4:11

Who Is My Neighbor?

Proverbs 14:21 (KJV)

He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth:

but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.

Intolerance to those who don’t measure up to your standards can actually be a sin…

The reason for despising is not what’s being considered…

Nor-

The reason for your neighbor’s poverty…

Mercy (means guilty but forgiven)

No reason given either!

The question here is this-

• Sinning

       Or

• Happiness

Who Is Your Neighbor?
