WHO MESSED YOU UP?

WHO MESSED YOU  UP?

"You were running the race nobly. Who has interfered in (hindered and stopped you from) your heeding and following the Truth? Galatians 5:7AMP Was it your best friend, your spouse, or your denomination? Was it your job, or school, or maybe it was the money? Could it be that your bills started piling up, and you started to doubt rather than trust? Or could it be that I am just not doing what you want? 

Did you ever say, "I am yours Lord, I'll go where ever you want me to go, without counting the cost"? Luke 14:28-30 When you prayed that, did you have a personal agenda? Did you mean it, or did you have something for you, in mind? I am interested in one thing, YOUR Heart! Did you know that if you break one of the commandments you break them all. So consider only the very first one!  "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (intellect). " Matthew 22:37 AMP

So many people in the western mindset simply take their salvation for grand it. There is no such thing as breaking one commandment? "For He Who said, You shall not commit adultery, also said, You shall not kill. If you do not commit adultery but you kill, you have become guilty of transgressing the whole Law." James 2:11 AMP So now I ask,how many western Christians Love Me with, ALLLLLLL their, heart, mind soul and strength! Your love for Me is revealed by one thing, focus! If everything in your life is focused on Me, and My kingdom, then you are obeying the first commandment, and love Me in the way I demand to be loved. You must understand love is not feeling, it's commitment! So many people, when they are feeling spiritually high, say, "I am all yours Lord", but it's said, based on feeling. Low lights, beautiful worship music, set the stage for strong emotional feelings, to make the most important decision of your life, without counting the cost.  

If and when I give a lesser command like, move to a lower standard of living, and move to a ghetto area, where I want to reach certain people, their feeling vanishes and what everyone thought was commitment was never there. The truth is, they never were obeying the very first commandment. Thou shalt not kill people, is not an option, do not commit adultery is not a request, these are commands, and you must obey! Likewise loving Me is not an option or a suggestion it's a command, that's why it has nothing to do with feeling! No one can command you to feel a certain way. Do you think Steven had all warm fuzzy feelings, when he was being stoned to death! Feelings are a byproduct of love, not the basis of it! 

Divorce is at an epidemic stage because feelings are called love! When the feeling wears off the marriage ends! Love is commitment, not a feeling! If you truly obey the first two commandments, no one can ever mess you up! Moving from a life of feeling to one of obedience is shakes the foundations of the soul! This process demands faith and commitment, but without it, in the end you will fall! However in the middle of the shaking, there is a peace deep inside that let's you know I am working in you, to bring you to maturity.
