When we get Serious with God, He will get Serious with Us—R Fritz
Is there something in our lives worth fighting for? We should ask ourselves and find an answer because if we have nothing to push us to do something for God, we will do nothing. Look around, what do you see? People are not deciding to listen, then obey what God wants us to do. If they do something, it is what we think God wants, not what he wants, because we do not know what God wants. Let’s get serious! I was talking to somebody today about years ago, even thou I did not know God at the time, I trusted him because I had nobody else I could trust to do something. That was something in my life I was concerned about, and I was serious enough to do what I believed at the time, which moved me way out of my comfort zone. Do we have something in our lives that would move us? Still waiting on that doctor to find our cure for our physical or mental issues. Time to get serious with God. Miracles happen every day, and I see many. Why not you? When I first knew God, I volunteered for spiritual battles, anything to get God’s attention. I am not asking for you to do exactly as I did, but do something, maybe be a prayer warrior, maybe talk to people about God, or our reason to choose God. Now, do not start to make excuses why we cannot do something for God, because when we make excuses, Satan starts talking to us, and we believe him that we cannot do things. That is why Satan keeps talking us out of doing something. The Holy Spirit has told me, “No excuses.” Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me.” This verse tells us when our thoughts tell us we cannot do something, tell Satan to just “Shut Up” because the Bible says I can do all things through Jesus. We think that is us, no, that is Satan speaking. I know because I had to walk through just that. You must have something bigger in your life to overcome fear. Then I needed somebody to keep me on a time frame to get what needs to be done, or we will never do it. I was serious, no reason we cannot be serious.
Fear is the biggest reason we do not do what is asked. It took time for me to do some of the things God asked of me. God knew it was fear that would stop me. I kept looking for Bible verses about fear, trying to overcome it. I would struggle and keep looking until the Holy Spirit finally gave the verse that stopped fear immediately. It is 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 says “(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;)Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” Our weapons of our warfare are not fleshly as the Holy Spirit in us fights our battle through us as spirits come against our mind which must obey and are stopped immediately. The verses will stop fear immediately. That does not mean that fear will not try to stop us again, as it will come at us from a different direction, but we now know what to do. We might not understand that there are familiar spirits that are around us and know us. I learned to do things that these spirits would not expect. It requires us to react to things without saying or writing what we are going to do. Spirits do not know what we are going to do before we do it unless we tell them. When we go on social media, Satan and his spirits read what we say, as Satan cannot wait, so they can speak to us as we are writing.
God has a plan for each of us, and we should find out what it is by asking God. Do we want to feel fulfilled in our lives? That could mean we might have to dial back other things in our lives. Do we feel we are missing something in our lives, but cannot figure out what it is? That is the place in our heart where the Holy Spirit should reside, and we will feel like we are whole when the Holy Spirit is there. Jeremiah 29:11-13 says, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken (listen) unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” If we are serious, we will find God if we search with all our heart, where we will have an expected end.
Everything has to do with us, and we are responsible for what we do as well as the things we choose not to do. Romans 14:12 says, “So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.” We will answer and account for what we have done with our lives before God. Why do we need to get pushed to do the right thing? The Holy Spirit will teach us all things, yet we go our own way. God wants to give us love, grace, and mercy and wants to be part of our lives. We just need to accept the Holy Spirit, then let him be our mentor to show love to others. God is the hope when we see our circumstances looking impossible. Let’s get serious. God Bless.
