*WISDOM FOR TODAY.*
*IS IT GOD OR SATAN? (2)*
*Scripture Treasure.*
1 John 1:6-7 *If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:*
*But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.*
*Insight and Highlight.*
Most sinners who pray know they are not praying to God. They are only speaking, and it is to their idols.
*Scripture Commentaries.*
Two Scriptures tell us that while some people may appear to be praying, they may, in fact, just be speaking Matt 6:7 says while people are praying they should avoid *"......vain repetitions, as the heathen do:..."* Matt 6,:7.
James 1:6-7 says people who pray with double minds should expect no answer from God. In other words, some people's faith is not in one place. They are double minded. James says such people can not expect anything from God.
As much as God's people pray to God, and while prayer in God's words is defined by Him as a way of communicating with Him, there are various forms of personal techniques utilized by humans to express their wishes to earthen and heathen idols and they call them prayers.
Some humans communicate with their idols and objects of worship
through conjuring, invocations, enchantments, incantations, necromancing, etc.
You can not be praying to God while you are sacrificing or making chants, meditation, or incantation or libation to a god or gods.
The moment you find that your faith is mixed with gods, or you are seeking God while you are seeking other means, you are not praying to God, but you are double minded and playing games with yourself, mocking God and pretending before others.
1 Cor 10:21 *Ye can not drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.*
Is God's *"....ear heavy, that it cannot hear:"* you?
If so, check your ways. It is either you are not asking according to His will, or it is not a good time for Him to grant you your request or or you are none of His.
Are you for God or Satan?
*Remorse corner.*
When you sacrifice to Satan while you claim to be praying to God, you are trusting in a rock, not the Rock.
*Call to Word action.*
Deut 32:37-38
*And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,*
*Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.*
*The Christian clarion duty.*
You can not fellowship with God and walk in darkness.
*Prayer.*
Lord, help me to totally trust in You, in Jesus name.
Good morning all, and have a blessed day.
God bless you.
