A Lesson Learned Today
I Can’t Let Go Of My God
On today as I babysit my seven month old grandson, a valuable lesson was learned. We went to my storage to meet some young men that was saved and had moved from the comforts of the home they shared with their parents. They stepped out into the world of adulthood at twenty one years old. The one thing that stood out most to me was the fact that they had been taught that life was more than just having fun but to love God with all their heart soul mind and body. In the time we live in nothing should be taken for granted. Here they were full of excitement and joy about the things that God was blessing them with and I loved it.
As the young men begin to go through the boxes, I asked one of them to hold my grandson until I found the box with the new comforters and bath accessories in them. Well guess what, my grandson did not know him and refused at seven months to go to this stranger. Matter of fact he would not go to either one and grabbed a hold of my shirt with a grip I would not think a seven month old would have. He did not and would not let go of my shirt even with coercion. The young men took note of that fact and the Lord spoke to me and said “you see what you believe you should never let go of”. What you have faith for you should never let go of your faith. If you believe God is God, then never let go of what you believe. No matter what comes or goes hold on to what you believe nevertheless. I told the young men “If you say you love God, then love Him” “hold on to him with a strong grip and do not let go” just as this baby is holding on to me. Also I told them do not let anyone come in and take your grip off of Christ or deter you away from Him”.
As I went through the day sharing this revelation, my day was fulfilled. I believe God with all of my heart and what God says it is no matter who tries to say differently. We get so caught up in ourselves we believe our own lies. We will lie and do not realize the consequences of those lies. They aren’t just lies of convenience as one think but truth catches up and makes even the grandest of lies show itself for what it is. Many times we do not want to face the reality of our self. It is not the other person as we see them but sin that turns God off and us too when we are His. In other words a part lie is a whole lie. If you believe the lie then you become a part of the lie because you are holding on to the lie. But when God speaks, he speaks truth no matter who tries to make it a lie. They can just deal with God about the naked truth of the matter.
There are costly consequences for a lie whether it is spoken, lived, or already dead. If the lie is buried with the person then Hell is their reward so it’s very costly for them. A third of the Angels from right in Heaven with God are chained up in Hell dying to be loosed. I think that had they known Satan was a liar and a deceiver they would have stayed with God.
As I was writing this story I got a telephone call from a woman in New Orleans, Louisiana. She told me that she knows that I was encouraging her to wait on a husband from God, but she had to be true with me. I am 41 years old and since I was young I have had people tell me God was going to send me a We husband. She had this old man that helps her and everyone is in a depression right now and she needed help. I told her that if God was the lover of her soul how could she betray him with a lie from hell? She told me “I love God” and I told her she didn’t love God because if she did she would have waited on Him and not look to a man for money. Anyway I hung up on her and told her not to waste my time.
I Learned a lesson today and that is to hold on to God like never before. Hold on to what I believe. I can't let go of my God for anything in this world. God I love you.
