THE REASONS WHY SOME PEOPLE NEVER
GET ANY THING FROM GOD.
|
W hy is it that some people can execute the power of God while some do not? Could it be that some people are doing it wrong? Could it be that some people are approaching God wrongly? One of the things that get people in conflict with God is this. God is a King. And you and I cannot serve a king with a democracy mind set. When a person accepts Jesus as lord, that person is now a citizen of a different realm, and heavenly country. The person is now under a different form of government. When a King gave a command, there is no if and butt about it. Do it are leave it. If you leave it undone do not bother come back to the king. The king is going to sent you right back to preform the duty. We have seen the same thing happen in the book of Jonah. “Arise and go to Nineveh” We see Jesus never talk to Herod, but he did speak with Pilot. There are some people that God will neither listen to nor talk to. God expect us to utilize the revelation that is given to us, before coming to him. (((Only in the arias of our life where we are biblically correct, we will have success.)))
If the seeker’s attitude is not right he/she will never hear from God. You cannot trick God nor challenge him to come out of light to talk to you in darkness. You cannot tell God that you do not have faith because he endow all men with believing faith. Bible scholar call this “natural faith”
Romans 12:3 (KJV) For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as (((God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.)))
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT GOD IS A PERSON.
No matter how much one is going to pray, if God is offended by what you been saying against others and what you been doing to other people he is not going to be talking to you. Just like a parent having two children, and the stronger one keep beating upon the weaker one. The parents will still love that offending child but will not be please with his or her attitude. It is just the same things with God.
YOU HAVE TO COME IN AGREEMENT WITH GOD AND ADOPT HIS WAYS OF DOING THINGS.
Luke 6:46 (NASB-U) "Why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?
Eccles. 5:4 (KJV) When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
Eccles. 5:2 (KJV) Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
YOU CANNOT SERVE GOD WITH YOUR MOUTH ONLY AND GET RESULT.
Ezekiel 33:31 (KJV) And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.
Matthew 15:8 (KJV) This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
YOUR PRAYERS WILL BE HINDERED UNTIL YOU DECIDE TO COMPLY.
1 Peter 3:7 (KJV) Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
HAVING PROBLEM WITH YOUR WIFE.
HAVING PROBLEM WITH YOUR HUSBAND.
Ephes. 5:23 (KJV) For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
If the scriptures teach you how to fix a certain problem, it makes no use asking God to fix it. God will never fix something that he already laid down information on how to do it. One of the main reasons why some people do not get their prayers answer is because they are acting like a horse and a mule. The mules were not given understanding but we got that from our creators and will not use it.
PROBLEM WITH YOUR SEX LIFE.
God is in some way just like human being. The scripture reveals that God talks, walks, and can be grieved in his heart. The scripture also reveals that God also has a sense of humor: he "Laughs." God can be angry; God can also be reasoned with and even be caused to change his mind. God was about to destroy the whole Nation of Israel when Moses stopped him. God was about to destroy all the nations about Sodom. Abraham prevented him from destroying the righteous with wicked in Sodom.
Deuteronomy 9:19-AV For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also. Deuteronomy 9:20-AV And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.
Psalm 32:9 (NASB) Do not be as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding, Whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check, Otherwise they will not come near to you.
Luke 6:46 (KJV)And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
DO NOT BOTHER TO COME TO GOD IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE.
1 Tim. 2:8 (KJV) I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
HAVING PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE.
YOU HAVE NO LOVE FOR OTHERS, HIS POWER WILL NEVER MANIFEST IN YOU.
1 Samuel 2:3 (NASB-U) "Boast no more so very proudly, Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth; For the Lord is a God of knowledge, And with Him actions are weighed.
IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO ASK IN FAITH DO NOT BOTHER ASK.
James 1:6 (KJV) But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
James 1:7 (KJV) For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
GOD DOES NOT RESPOND TO EVIL DOERS.
GOD DOES NOT HELP THE DOUBLE MINDED.
James 1:7 (KJV) For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. James 1:8 (KJV) A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
GOD WILL NOT RESPOND TO PEOPLE UNTIL THEY ARE READY TO FORGIVE OTHERS.
Mark 11:26 (KJV)But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
God will never bless you until you are ready to bless others. Job was delivered only after he prayed for his friends.
GOD DOES NOT DEAL WITH THE PROUD.
1 Peter 5:5 (KJV) Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
IF YOU ARE INVIOLATION OF HIS WORD, HE WILL NOT RESPOND TO YOU.
PROBLEM WITH YOUR NEXT NEIGHBOUR.
Proverbs 3:29 (NASB-U) Do not devise harm against your neighbor, While he lives securely beside you.
Proverbs 24:28 (NASB-U) Do not be a witness against your neighbor without cause, And do not deceive with your lips.
Proverbs 17:13 (KJV) Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
THE END
Let us face the fact, no matter how much education we had on a subject we can go out there and made the worst mistakes of our life, that cause us dearly. Only Jesus Christ can help us with our decision-making.
Proverbs 3:6 in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Psalm 34:8 (NASB-U) O taste and see that the Lord is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
HOW TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN.
Isaiah 7:11 (ASV) Ask thee a sign of Jehovah thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. Isaiah 7:12 (ASV) But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt Jehovah.
Ezekiel 18:32 (ASV) For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord Jehovah: wherefore turn yourselves, and live.
First you must recognize that you are a sinner and need God mercy.
1 Peter 2:24 (Living) He personally carried the load of our sins in his own body when he died on the cross so that we can be finished with sin and live a good life from now on. For his wounds have healed ours!
YOU MUST KNOW THAT YOU CANNOT SAVE YOURSELF.
2 Peter 3:18 (ASV) But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and for ever. Amen.
Zech. 4:7 (KJV) Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
Eph 2:8 The Message Bible” “Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It's God's gift from start to finish! Eph 2:9 We don't play the major role. If we did, we'd probably go around bragging that we'd done the whole thing!” There nothing you could do to save yourself , the only thing you could do is bowed your head and ask God to save you.
You must believe that there is a God.
No other person can save you except Jesus.
Acts 4:12 (Living) There is salvation in no one else! Under all heaven there is no other name for men to call upon to save them."
Then you must know that God invites you to come to him.
Do not wait until tomorrow to get save.
2Co 6:2 The Message Bible. “God reminds us, I heard your call in the nick of time; The day you needed me, I was there to help. Well, now is the right time to listen, the day to be helped.”
Delay not your conversion to the lord, put it not off from day to day. Remember that tomorrow is promise to no man. Accept the lord, go home and continue with your life, if the lord.. If the lord saves you in bad life style, he has some plan up his sleeve how to get you out of it, give him time to work out his salvation in your life.
WHOSEOEVER SHALL CALL.
Romans 10:13 (KJV) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Ezekiel 33:11 (KJV) Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Now bow your head and pray this prayer.
From this day onward you will begin to feel a flood of joy and peace full your heart and mind. You must confess Jesus to others with your mouth. Tell what great thing the lord had done for you. Romans 10:9 (Living) For if you tell others with your own mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord and believe in your own heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Then you need to start reading the bible, start reading from St Mathew.
THE LORD WILL MAKE YOU HOLY IN HIS OWN TIME.
OUR BODY WAS NOT REEDEM AT CONVERSION.
Rom 8:21 that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. Rom 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. Rom 8:23 And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
OUR VILE BODY WILL BE CHANGE AT THE RETURN OF JESUS.
THE SINS OF THE BODY WILL NOT BE CONQUERED LITERALY BY ALL SAINTS WHILE LIVING ON EARTH.
When the Lord redeemed us our body was not redeem, it was our spirit and soul. The changes took place in our spirit man. Not the body. The body will still continue to sin. If the believer do not know this they will become worried as to why am I still lusting? And became eaten up with guilt to the point where they experience no peace and joy.
Even though our body were not redeem, we who wanting to live up to certain standard, to please society, must bring our body into subjection, even thou we do not do that to buy salvation. But to prevent Satan from capitalized on it. But to bring this body into subjection take time. We saw belivers at the judgment seat of Christ in heaven being judge for the deeds of the body. That mean they made it in, so not all of us will overcame the deeds of the body, but we all will made it in.
1 Cor. 9:27 (NASB-U)but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
2 Cor. 2:11 (NASB-U) so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
Romans 12:1 (GW)Brothers and sisters, in view of all we have just shared about God's compassion, I encourage you to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, dedicated to God and pleasing to him. This kind of worship is appropriate for you.
2 Cor. 12:7 (NASB-U)Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me—to keep me from exalting myself!
SOME THING YOU OVERCAME BY GRACE.
“I saw a river of blood, flows from Calvary Mountain, I am in it and your are in it, and I am clean, clean” By Smith Wiggle worth.
We can sing with the song writer" I rise walk in heaven’s own light above the world and sin with heart made pure and garments white, and Christ en-throned with in. The cleansing stream I see I see I plunge, and O It cleans-eth me. O praise the Lord, it cleans-eth me, it cleans-eth me yes, cleans-eth me."
HOW TO CONTINUE IN THE FAITH.
The first thing you will need to know is this. Beware of people who come laying hands on you say they are filling you with the Holy Ghost. That is how people get possess with demonic spirits. God will give you every thing you need to fit you out for his service in his own times. You do not need to push any thing nor to make any thing happen. Wait until God make it happen. Do not get too carry away into this charismatic stuff, I spent almost forty years in it, all those who try to fake it or pushed it got hurt.
You will need to read the book “War on the saints” By Jessie Penn-Lewis. The Christians literature Crusade, fort Washington, Pennsylvania 19034 U.S.A. ISBN 0-87508-958-4. Get this book before you start messing with Charismatic.
A NEW MIND-SET.
Eph 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; Eph 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Eph 4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
GIVE YOURSELF AWAY TO THE THINGS OF GOD.
Jer 29:13 The Message Bible. "When you come looking for me, you'll find me. "Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else,
