How to please God...
I have left my hermit branch and I am now back at the world sphere... I would have loved to have stayed as a hermit but there is God's work to do. There are people crying and hungering for the truth yet there is so much corruption that is perverting our world. There is error upon error and there is wrong thinking upon wrong thinking. So that to strap a bomb to yourself and blow yourself up and taking innocence with you can somehow be holy? To take the body that God has formed, made and created and to use it for an evil purpose and call it "holy" is blasphemy. The heart of a terrorist is a very confused and desolate place.
Can we please God/Allah/Jehovah by bloodshed?
To sit and memorize the Koran/Bible and sway back and forth as the words pass by your understanding and out the door, is this pleasing to God?. To take "holy" words and to turn them into words of killing and sadness is travesty. Even terrorists cry tears... it is how we use these tears to bring the world to some good that sets us apart from blood crazed wild beasts.
This post is not only for Christians but it is also for Muslims, Jews and any other people who are trying to please a deity.
First of all before you go and start a "holy" war, have you even asked God/Allah/Jehovah if that is what is desired? Are you going to take directions from Allah or a man?
Is there anything that we can do to please God? Is God pleased when we memorize the Koran/Bible? Is God pleased when we help and old lady across the street? Is God pleased when we become rich sultans and wear white robes to show others how pure we are? Not that sultans cannot be pure but it does not come from a white robe.
Is it pleasing to God to bear the sufferings of Christ? Is God pleased when we shackle ourselves to a cross and walk around in the midst of the world parading our suffering and pains? Is this the abundant life that God wants for us? Do you want a God that is going to make you suffer? Is there not something wrong with this picture?
When we play upon the fiddle of our spirit is the tune pleasing to God?
How can death be a gain? Is God/Allah pleased when one of his children take their own life in his name? There are many questions that need to be answered. To simply say we don't know leaves the door open for others to twist the truth into a lie.
Yes, we die to the world, but
not our physical bodies but the desires that take control over the body. The desires for the riches of this world and the white robes that can only cover and not cleanse sin. We become filled with the holy spirit within. We operate this spirit and this is the only way to please God. When we die we can no longer operate the spirit to bring about positive change in the world. On thousand virgins is only satisfying the lusts and desires of the flesh but what about satisfying God by living a good life?
Only twisted logic can kill the body and leave the evil behind. To become confused and mistake the body for the evil within. To please God is to save the body and to defeat the evil within. We do not deal with the devil but we defeat the devil in the flesh and mind. Be certain that the evil within is not distorting your view of holiness. To ridicule your neighbor while you are allowing evil to consume within is only hypocrisy. So a terrorist is a priority in God's view. They are a soul tormented by pain, suffering and
wrong teaching... They breed this pain in others by evil desperate deeds. They need to be healed and taught to love again.
There is pity and compassion. Pity is where there is nothing that you can do about it. Compassion is when you have a duty to intercede.
By the time we get out of high school we know how to add two and two, calculus and physics, we can figure square roots and we know the history of the world... yet, we have not been taught the difference between pity and compassion.
We hear Christians and on school bus trips singing "Amazing Grace"... but does anyone in this chat room know the real meaning of "grace"? No, it is not walking with a swish..
Grace means "divine favor"... Now is that what you were all thinking it meant? How old is the oldest person in this chat who didn't know the real meaning of grace?
I was in my early twenties when I learned about grace. By then, I knew how to work on a lawn mower and I knew how to drive a car but I could not operate my spirit.
Divine favor, now what does that even mean? It means that I please God not by the things I do, but because of the things that God has done in me.
We need to teach these things to the world... They are too busy staring at Paris Hilton eating hamburgers to care... They are too busy pleasing themselves to be concerned as to what God/Allah/Jehovah thinks. They have trained their eyes on the flesh and not the spirit. They have taken God from the schools and with it they have taken spiritual standards from the minds of world.
So we see problems compounded upon problems. All because people have not been taught the simple meaning of "grace"...
This post is not to pity killers... but to save them and their victims from the vacuum created by a world addicted to the flesh.
Ro 8:8
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
