What controls our life?

 


For all of those who think “I am my own, nothing controls me” they are wrong because everyone is controlled by something whether is alcohol, drugs, wrath, ignorance, pain, envy, hatred, passion for money, or on the contrary, peace, tranquility, wisdom, goodness for all, love, blessings. These are either good or bad things, depending of our choice; and whatever controls our life will generate a consequent action. Whatever controls us will fill our heart, and in our “User manual” Jesus tells us: “. . . the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart” (Matthew 12.34b)  Yet, there are some people (some politicians) who due to their God given talent are good speakers, but hypocrite, which is why Jesus called them: “You brood of vipers, how can you being evil speak what is good? . .” (Matthew 12.34a) That is why we should be very careful of who are we going to believe, because if we ignore what controls the life of our leaders we might fall victim of our own lack of knowledge.  Unfortunate!

It is hard, sometimes, to know the truth due to facts that blind people, but Jesus speaks clearly to us when He said: . . The tree is known by its fruit. (Matthew 12.33b)  Whoever has produced more good fruit will be a lot better than the one who has a history of failures. And failures are going to happen to any who does not put God on the first place on everything. There are many who are always attacking the good others do, for envy or other deeds of the flesh which control the people. Usually, those are the ones who do not give the credit to the One who made it all possible, God, but the one who has wanted to destroy it all, the devil who leads them. That’s why, Jesus came to deliver us from bondage and make us free of sin and death Therefore there’s NO CONDEMNATION FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN CHRIST JESUS (Romans 8.1) I cannot say the same for the ones who shelter under the wings of destruction, lies, crime, looting,  which is the  devil’s gospel. That is, of course, if they do not repent. If they do, really, they win the privilege of receiving the crown of everlasting life which is the prize reserved for all those who wait on the Lord for justice and do not take it into their own hands. Isn’t that worth getting? Condemnation should not be an option for those who hunger with justice. . .or is it only a “justification” to do evil to others, or get praised like Satan wanted of Jesus in the desert?

I tell all those who are obeying the voice of the ones who have paid them to destroy this nation, blessed by God, that they have an opportunity to be a part of the goodness whose pay is eternal, and don’t be a part of the evil whose pay is also eternal and is called: Condemnation. They can free themselves by telling the wicked that “they are not the Bait” to justify an aberrant doctrine which does not bring justice to anyone except only to the “members” of their party, and not many can belong to it if not fit.

Jesus came to this earth to save anyone who believes in Him, and not to condemn. The only one who condemns us is the devil who already did it. He made Eve subject to his lie so she could disobey God’s commandment, because that was and still is his job. Jesus came to tell us that not everything is lost but that there is a way out if we want to. He paid for our sin so we wouldn’t have to, and with His grace has reversed everything the wicked have done, and gave us promises:

                 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the gentle for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5.3-10)

Jesus promises are for real and when we experience them, we feel such an abundant feeling, that no aberrant doctrine can beat it. So Jesus is the only one we should let us control our life. Now it’s a good time to answer Him.

Behold I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. (Revelation 3.20)

Are we making the right choice?

 


That is a tricky question because it might bring another question: “Right”?  For  whom?  for what?  The ones who think of themselves might say: Well, right for me. . . I think this way and nobody is going to make me change. Which is totally selfish if their belief is not backed by truth, because they are only thinking on themselves and do not care if the world  disappears. . .but yes, the world is going to disappear as we know it. It is prophesied in the word of God. When?  Only God knows.  But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned. (2 Peter 3.10)  I am not an eschatologist, but I read the word daily and do know that we are in the “latter times” or the beginning of the “birth Pangs.” (But in the mean time we have to live the best we can) Who would have thought that anything that is going on today was going to happen in this God blessed country?  Who would have thought that a chosen President by the majority of the people in this democratic nation was going to be harassed and attacked the way he has since the beginning of his term, by his opponents when they had thought to be winners. Yet they have used their precious paid time to solve the problems of its citizens, with their money, to waste it in constant non-based attacks which resulted in nothing except discrediting themselves; and did not do their job for the people .But God has the last word.

My dear friends, this is a Christian blog and my aim is giving our Creator all the credit and do not want to bring any politics into it, but as I saw an ad trying to sell me “a good man” of a person who tried to bribe foreign authorities with the money of our people, to empower his own, (and though “reporters” have tried to cover it up saying it was a lie, I heard it from a respected source) I wanted to let you know that is not good at all, and much less mocking the president for holding a Bible. (YouTube Ad in Spanish)  I’ve happened to watch all the films in which the president did make a lot of people happy being helped, and heard their testimony and I said to myself, WOW, only in 3 1/2 years. . . how could he do it? Maybe because God is on his side, for The Lord favors those who fear Him, those who wait for His loving kindness. (Psalm147.11)  I heard a reporter (of course a “compromised” one) say that was an orchestration.  That is why we say this is a fight between Good and Evil. Yes, because those who want to represent the “good” could be wrong, and perhaps do not realize it. I do not want to annoy them, but the Adversary (Satan) is using them to do as he pleases to later cast them off into darkness forever. How sad. I wish they realize it on time and make the right choice too. I am nobody to “judge”, but they are not either. People call me naive for giving some famous ones the benefit of the doubt on the “prizes” they have earned which they use to destroy instead of building.

 Remember when Jesus was tempted in the desert by the same Adversary who pays the people today? What did Jesus say? What was his choice answer when He was asked to do wrong things?: “No!”, something not many of us are willing to do today, for it’s easier to agree to the adversary than to fight him, especially when he pays good; except when people have integrity, truly, and think on the good of the family which is God’s divine institution; and Christians, when we want to comply with God’s will which is the best choice. The temptation of Jesus can be found in Matthew 4.1-11, Mark 1.12-13, and Luke 4.1-13. When I see those non-believers kneeling before “whoever” I say like Jesus:  “Go Satan! For it is written: ‘You shall worship the Lord your God and serve Him ONLY.’ ”

Sometimes the devil doesn’t use richness to try to convince us to sin, but simply tries to deceive us by making us “feel right.” Feeling right is not the same as being right, though. I have known a lot of people who I love but I can’t convince they are wrong when they repeat what they’ve heard the wrong ones say. They do not have a good reason and dare to constantly argue with the same rhetoric. My husband tells me that they simply think differently. I argue that “different” is untruthful if they do not search what really happened, and when I want to prove them wrong they make me feel like a pest so I just smile, turn around, and wish them in my mind never have to feel “it’s too late” for changing, “I wish I had heard”. . . So we must analyze the situation and really see who want to make things better for the people and who want to make things better for themselves; who’s thinking on goodness for all and who’s violating the truth and make no proposals, who want to serve others, like Jesus taught, and who want to be served/get benefits from others.

I do not want to “attack” anybody but, as many people who have fled the “left” oppressive system of government (which many Americans do not know about) we are seeing many similarities with our former oppressors, in the behavior of the ones who want to “dethrone” (at any cost) the president (who at no cost to us wants to fight to keep us free,)  

Jesus is also inviting us to eternal living at a cost He already paid on the cross and we are too busy for Him. God said He will heal our land if we humble ourselves, but some rather believe His opponents who offer us lies. God’s servant Paul warned us to be careful:   See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the principles of the world, rather than according to Christ. (Colossians 2.8)

I urge you to pray for guidance to make the correct choice. God bless  us.
