Dangers of Tolerating What God Hates

 


What do we tolerate in our lives? What do we embrace that is equal to sin? Well just let them do what they want, I do not want any strife here! But tolerating sin is you embracing that sin. It is choosing to go the wrong way, to tolerate them because of their choosing to manipulate others by that chosen sin. Holy Spirit will have nothing to do with sin. You try to manipulate others, you choose to exalt you by that thing, then you are in bondage. They blame others for their life problems. They find others who have that "victim" attitude! When they find their peeps in that victim attitude, they soar more into bondage and bitterness. Hate fills their lips for their heart is darkened by bitterness. And anyone who does not talk like them, sound like them, dress like them is regarded as the "other side".

In reading today, I was in Proverbs 5 and 6. In Proverbs 6 and staring in verse 12 of the Passion Translation: Here's another life lesson to learn from observing wayward and wicked men. You can tell they are lawless. They're constant liars, proud deceivers, full of clever ploys and convincing plots. Their twisted thoughts are perverse, and they are always scheming to stir up trouble, and sowing strife with every step they take. But when calamity comes knocking on their door, suddenly and without warning they're undone---- broken to bits, shattered, with no hope of healing.


Worshiping other gods brings one to destruction.

Acts 8:14-25 NKJV 14 Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, 15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. 16 For as yet He had fallen upon none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 17 Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. 18 And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostle's hands the Holy Spirit is given, he offered them money, 19 saying, "Give me this power also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit." But Peter said to him, "Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money!" 21 "You have neither part nor portion in this matter, for your heart is not right in the sight of God."  22 "Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you." 23 "For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity." 24 Then Simon answered and said, "Pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have spoken may come upon me."25 So when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.

This man Simon is known as the the "father of heresies. In the gospel he was noted as a follower of Satan. One who does magic to manipulate, to reveal things not seen but shown indeed.

Since we have a God Who brought us into existence, He should have authority over how we should live our life.  There are a pantheons of gods, but only God lives the way a God ought to live.  From Him comes His holiness and much love. It is Who He is and always represents. In this hour are we set on a human self-concern or as God sees it.?  Are showing the clear evidence of godly life and living or are we showing the evidence in opposition to Him?


If we live in spiritual adultery, will He be seen in our lives? If we choose to tolerate all the alphabets listed in the 21st century, we have a space between us and Him. We are to reach those who are choosing sin, listed as an letter of the alphabet, maybe blue hair, and using pronouns. Because we know it, we should act on it like Peter and John. We should be willing to cross the street and tell them about Jesus and Holy Spirit. If not, then what is next?

Let us not tolerate what God hates! Bitterness will only shape your passion to control others.  The residue to his very past bondage caused him to seek out the Holy Spirit by money. YOU can see that today in people demanding money. They want free stuff! BUT God provides. He knows what you need. He knows that disease or disaster. He is not surprised. Why not ask Him what you do not see! 

Ask Him what you might be blind to in your walk today and see what He will show you in this hour! He is for you and not against you. Don't be a Simon the sorcerer!

No Dripping Nonsense

Voice of Prayer
Proverbs 15:1-2   Message Bible    A gentle response defuses anger, but a sharp tongue kindles a temper-fire. Knowledge flows like spring water from the wise; fools are leaking faucets, dripping nonsense.

Have you ever had a faucet leaking just enough to keep you awake at night? No, it is not a "good" thing to hear all through the night when one is to rest.
I really like this that knowledge flows like spring water from the wise.
How wonderful to be the "wise" and wise in heart, to keep God before us and remember His ways and thoughts are higher than ours!

But the opposite here is: leaking faucet, dripping nonsense!
What might we see of this when we look into God's word? On one hand we could be the wise, acting responsible, being mature enough to receive authority as to those in leadership: say like the White House, the President and Vice-President! We must be mature enough to receive authority and act accordingly to that authority that is in place.

Was thinking on this while reading and remembering of the Vice President Pence to give a speech at such and such university the third weekend in May and remembered that some of the educated walked out. Sad, but true and in turn the whoever they were, will do doubt desire to have favor and have a voice but won't because of the seeds they have sown into rejecting authority that day in May 2017. Even if they get to a place of having a job that is a good one bringing some sort of honor to them, it will not last, because at some point the seeds sown in May and in rejecting authority, they too will be the rejected. Yikes!

Not sure what happened to this country we call home, but in the last forty years, it surely has changed. I remember a day when "kid's" had to obey their parents and those in leadership as to those serving within the community like: police, your school teachers and especially God!

There is one such rejection of authority in the book of Galatians. And the "foolish Galatians" were not receiving the authority that Paul had and was given him by Jesus Christ. In their not being wise, yes not having that really mature mindset, they moved into foolishness......and the nonsense became evident! They became "dripping nonsense"!

Rejecting any authority is a clear sign of "immaturity".  We find in Galatians 1:6 the group from Galatia were moving away from the grace of Christ, their teaching was in the form of a different Gospel.
Galatians 1:6  I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, 7 which is not another, but there are some who trouble you and to pervert the gospel of Christ.
Galatians 3:1,3  O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified? 3 Are you so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?

Yes, there is no one made perfect by the flesh...........anything like foolishness is not good and will bring harm to the person acting in that regard to another person. And acted out, degree or no degree is still a sad situation for the individual.

Galatians 4:9 But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements to which  you desire again to be in bondage?

It was noted that the Gentile Galatians were observing those certain days, months, seasons, etc.
In doing so, their idol worship had nothing to do with observing God's holy days ( Galatians 4:10 You observes days and months and seasons and years.
Verse 11, it is Paul who declares: "I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain."
He had taught them the Gospel that Jesus commanded him to preach and teach.


Matthew 28: 19-20  NKJV  19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen."

What Jesus had given to the disciples who later became the apostles of which Paul was one, the Galatians had the early onset chose to disregard his authority. That was a really bad place to be. For a person to reject the authority like Paul, these Galatians were rejecting authority of the one who sent him and that was Jesus Christ!

It is Peter who reminds us in 2 Peter 3;11-8 (amplified Bible) 17 Let me warn you therefore, beloved that knowing things beforehand, you should be on your guard, lest you be carried away by the error of lawless and wicked [persons and] fall from your own [present] firm condition [your own steadfastness of mind]. 18 But grow in grace (undeserved favor, spiritual strength and recognition and knowledge and understanding of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (the Messiah)

Peter wanted to warn those believer's that to follow others who are in "error" of lawless and wicked persons.......was not a good thing to do!
In Peter' words, each person was to be consecrated, with holy behavior, devout with godly qualities. (2 Peter 3:11) (amplified bible)

In receiving any such rewards as the diploma or degree matters little when the one acquiring has no regard to loving their neighbor. It is their actions that spoke loudly and will in turn come back to them in a harvest of rejection as well.
In my thinking or thought process, as a person who hires those coming into the fields of work, would I desire to hire one who walked out on the authority like the vice-president or like those foolish Galatians we read about. For if they walked out that easily, they will probably not obey the authority of those who would be hiring them. Just a little for thought to those who have businesses and truly want to hire the wise in heart!

Might we keep in step with the Lord and heed His warnings so that we will walk the path of honor, to see His purpose for our lives be manifested that will be to His glory and not to man. It is in His light that we see light and the darkness cannot remain. May we remain in Him and remain to be wise within His sight walking in His wisdom all the days of our lives! Amen!
