Conscience, that inner voice that speaks to us; the sixth sense, as some would call it, is very real!    When ignored, calamity strikes!    Perhaps not immediate, but absolute.

We all have a Father in Heaven who loves us.    He is passionate about us!    So passionate is He that He sent us a very part of Himself to walk among us, live, love, eat, drink, pray, laugh, cry, and die!    He that very beautiful man that can not be forgotten because of this!

Jesus Christ did not come into the world with trumpets blasting, and shouts   of glory announcing His arrival; but rather entered quietly, reservedly.

Why?   Why do you think, when God Our Father can do anything in any way He wishes, He chose to have His only Son enter this world, His passion,   quietly?

God is mysterious, in that when we look upon Him and enter into Him, we find that He is a God that is ‘reserved’.    Yet, when He deems it, blesses it, and desires it, It is made known!   So, it is with Jesus Christ!    He did not ride in a great chariot.    He did not have servants, but ‘friends’!    The King Of Kings had friends, not servants, or slaves, but turned to people like us, simple, quiet and reserved.

He   chose us to be His friends!

Think of it!    The greatest KING ever,    and HE wants you and I for His best friend!    How can anything measure up to such a great gift?    How can anyone say ‘NO’ to someone who gave His life for them?     How would you feel if you gave your ONLY SON, to save another , and they scoffed at you?

Does it not seem, that a God who loves quietly, and beautifully, loves passionately as well!    He does you know!     This God that I speak of is a man, and made you and I to love.   He, like anyone who  loves passionately feels what we feel and knows our every thought, word, pain, and joy!    He made us in His image.   He, the God of Heaven and Earth, He who has always been and will always be, desired to express Himself through ‘creation’.    WE are HIS Creation!   He can do with us as HE wishes!   He made us!   We do not belong to ourselves but to Him.   This is the truth!!   There is no getting over it, God reigns!!   He is first last and only, and through Him all things come into being.

So to doubt, to deny is to enter into ” THE HOUSE OF EVIL”!   What evil?  You say!   That which opposes God is evil.   You say you do not oppose God?  I say you oppose God if He is not first in your life.    God has you and I first in HIS LIFE!!    He is so passionately in love with us, He sent us Jesus Christ!    So, you say, I know that!   Do you?    Do you know who He is and what He stands for?

The rules, were given and passed down through the ages!   The Ages, from the Old Testament to the New Testament!    God put them forth for us to love and embrace.   So loving is He, that He knows we all learn at a different rate, understand differently, think differently, and love differently, that is why He made us to love.    God is a person, with a personality!   His Son Jesus Christ proves this!   He the Son of the Father, did as the
Father desires, and though it was not easy, He did not say, NO!!   He could have, but then we would not be!    For it is through Him; He who conquered evil, that “the  house of evil will fall!   However, we are still in the fight of our lives, for Jesus Christ will come again, and then it will end!

What will end?    The world will end!   Remember, I said, that we belong to God, God owns us.    Yet, God wants OUR LOVE.    So true  a love does God want, that He gives us free will!   He tests us to see How true we are!   Yes, He tests us!   He wants to be first, deserves to be first, and shall be first!   God deems it so it will stand!    There is no arguing with God!   Oh we can!!   He will allow us to argue with Him and plead our case; He is OUR FATHER, and wants a ‘real relationship’ with us!    But as with any Father, His say is final!   God made everything on earth as it is in heaven.  Our Lord said it in the Lord’s Prayer.   So, when Jesus Christ gave us the “Lords Prayer”  He said it all!    When you say the words, remember, God does not come with fanfare and trumpets blaring!    God will when Jesus comes again!     Then the world will know:  HE is God!

So if you wish to know if you dwell in a ‘house of evil’ or a’ house of praise’   then you must be true to yourself, and be honest.   Do you praise God daily for His great love?   Do rejoice in life, and cry for those who hurt?   Or do you fill yourself with ‘I’ ?  I can not, I will not, I think not!   “I” though necessary can be a deterrent to our love of God!   Why?   Because as Jesus said it, not my will, but,  “THY WILL BE DONE”.

God first!

Book of James: Chapter 4 verses 6-10

6) “Yet he bestows a greater gift, for the sake of which it is  written:

‘God resists the proud but bestows his favor on the lowly.’

7) Therefore submit to God; resist  the devil and he will take flight.   8) Draw close to God, and He will draw close to you.   Cleanse your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, you backsliders.   9) Begin to lament, to mourn and to weep; let your laughter be turned  into mourning and your joy into sorrow.   10)   Be humble in the sight of the LORD and He will raise you on high.”

Book of Philippians  Chapter 2 verses 12-18

12)So then my dearly beloved, obedient as always to my urging, work with anxious concern to achieve your salvation, not only when I happen to be with you but all the more now that I am absent.   13) It is God who, in his good will toward you begets in you any measure of desire or achievemnet.   14)In everything you do, act without grumbling or arguing; 15) prove yourselves innocent and strightforward, children of God beyond reproach in the midst of a twisted and depraved generation-among whom you shine like the stars in the sky 16) while holding fast to the word of life.   As I look  to   the Day   of Christ, you give me cause to boast that I did not run the race in vain or work to no purpose.   17) Even  if my life is to be poured out as a libation over the sacrificial service of your faith,     I am glad of it and rejoice with all of you.   18) May you be glad on the same score, and rejoice with me!”
