I have been learning so much about what God wants of us. Yes, of you too. He wants us to look like Him. He wants us to learn His ways, stay out of sin, not look like the "world" but look like Him. We want God to bless us, We want a breakthrough! When is my season? My harvest, my blessing...give me...give me...give me. We are searching for our purposes in life till we die; But guess what God wants us to do... STAY AWAY FROM SIN! How do we do that? By finding out what sin is. Reading God's Word and find out what He orders us to stay away from. He wants us to be blessed, but He can't bless a mess. I have been reading the old testament; watching preaching and teaching DVDs with my husband and I see so many of the things that our society is becoming "okay" with. Just look in the book of Leviticus 18,19,20: God said, No tattoos, No homosexuality, No cross dressing, No witchcraft, No sorcery, No occult stuff, No fornication, No incest, No pedophiles, No Idol worship...(that includes Greek gods and symbols...people; Don't get me wrong, I almost got caught up in a lot of it too, but God made me research. He makes me find the "WHY" in everything I do or want to do). All of these actions have negative spiritual consequences. Demonic influences that stay with you. We have already let fornication, tattoo and homosexuality be "okay". What next, murder, pedophiles will marry little children. When will we end this perversion? God doesn't tell us not to do things because He is just not wanting us to have no fun. He is wanting to protect us from the negative demonic consequences that follow these types of behaviors. Read your bible, do some research and you will see that there is a spiritual tie to all physical things. You will begin to see why our society is the way it is and why things are the way they are in our lives.
With deep thought, I now disagree with teen dating altogether, yes, I did it and have paid a dear price for it. Even today, just think about it. Had you waited until you were an adult to date, boy, wouldn't your life be different. Look at adults still suffering from the mistakes they made as teenagers and young adults just by being to young to have given their all to a boyfriend or girlfriend. It was all a distraction from your real goal which was to get an education. You may have gotten your education, but I bet you could have done without a lot of the heartbreak, drama and in some cases pregnancy, abortions, STD, humiliation, loneliness and out of wedlock children that resulted from our immaturity during these teenage/young adult relationships. I used to think that because I got into teen dating and premarital sex that I couldn't tell people anything, but I am the perfect example of why you shouldn't do it. I have had a lot of self-rejection, low self-esteem and low self-worth from participating in relationships that I was too young to be in. Luckily, I didn't have any pregnancies or children, but I could have..my consequences for my actions were more mental. I am 32 years old and still can't get over some of the mean things that were said and done to me in my teenage relationships. I shouldn't have been in it...at all. When my boys want to do it, I am going to ask them Why? Why do you need a girlfriend now? What is she going to do for you, but get you off track. The whole point of teen dating is to have sex. The devil wants you to go all the way to destruction. After a while holding hands and smiling at each other will not be enough and by the time you reach eleventh or twelfth grade, it will be time to have sex and then...things will hit the fan. Teenagers are too young to handle that kind of responsibility that comes with having sex. I know I sound old fashion, but I don't care, you show me in the Bible where sex outside of marriage is okay and did not produced any negative consequences and maybe I'll change my mind.
That is probably the biggest way to not reflect God, through premature relationships. Starting to young. Getting into something without Him leading us into it. Next, I think is our need for approval. We want "man's" approval. We will do anything to get it. Spend money, lie, cheat, hurt ourselves and others just to be accepted by people who still don't care. We have to be about God. He is all that matters. He is the ONLY way. It has taken me a while to really truly know that. We say that, but do we really know that? I could go on for hours, especially since, I am on semi maternity leave, but I have got to wrap this up by saying. Let's get back to the Bible. Let's at least read it! Its more than going to Church...besides, half of the time the pastor is so afraid of losing members that he doesn't want to tell the congregation the truth. He just wants to give this "feel-good" message without telling us what we really need to hear to be delivered from some of the problems that we face.
I know I have gotten on my soapbox, but when I get home and flip through every channel and every channel has a homosexual, overeating, fornicating, witchcraft, demonic agenda, I have to say...enough is enough. I don't hate the homosexual or the witch or the fornicator or the liar. I love them as God does, but we can not tell them that their lifestyle is "okay". Just like we can't tell a pedophile or an adulterer that their life style is okay. We have to tell them the truth so that they can be delivered and set free. That's what we all want is to be free and live in the freedom of God's way; and that way reflects Him.
I'm done
