The Spirit Of Good Direction

     I get really frustrated sometimes because some people are so closed minded. They refuse to see the whole picture. Therefore, they can only understand their own perspective. 

And I am not able to get in here and write all my thoughts. That upsets me too. 

I am consumed with the thoughts that I didn't have a good mother or dad. Why? I am slowly coming to terms with the truth. They just loved themselves more than they loved us kids. Kids shouldn't have to live like that. We learn what we live. Because I was beat till I would bleed as a kid, I married 3 men who abused me the same way, physically mentally and emotionally. This has been an issue my whole life.  I've had years of therapy which I don't go to anymore because the message is the same. It will never change. I can't go back and be unabused to teach me something different.

I am so grateful for my maternal grandparents; they were my only source of normalcy, and they took me to church. The best thing they could have done is they pointed me into the direction of Jesus, because with Jesus you get the Holy Ghost, which is the spirit of GOD that lives inside of you, and you walk and talk with GOD within your soul which leads you to a good way. 

As we look around, we see so many people abusing people and it's supposed to be OK. According to who? See this is the lesson GOD has been trying to teach us since the beginning of recorded knowledge. There is a right way and a wrong way. But too much today we are going against this basic knowledge. 

So much confusion in the air. And do you know who the author of confusion is? I can give you a hint, 'It's not GOD.'  You see GOD is not going to give you information to confuse you. When GOD tells you something you recognize our good Fathers voice as something good and helpful. GOD will not ever tell you to do something destructive. OK, that's so Old Testament. Christians don't go by the Old Testament it is meant to school us on the history of GOD. 

The Lord gave me a lesson today that I have never given much thought to before. That is that GOD doesn't go by religions. Men go by religions. Not saying religions are bad... If you are going to a certain church or temple or mosque or synagogue and you are happy with the good people there, it's really a good thing! 

But what GOD goes by since the death of Jesus, is within you. GOD will tell you when something is wrong. But you must be very careful because the devil also gives you thoughts. 

Since Jesus was the final sacrifice for sin, we no longer sacrifice for sin. We rehabilitate! And always, GOD will help you to do better. Do better than what? You ask?   I'm talking about not doing the things that you are used to. Not living like animals in a dog-eat-dog world.  

This is what GOD has been trying to help us do since HE started trying to HELP US do better. 

All of our problems we bring on ourselves when we don't follow GODS good guidance.

Can you imagine... I doubt it... but can you imagine the state of the world if we could get rid of arrogance and lies and selfishness? What if there was only LOVE in the world? There would be no divorce and no hate or revenge. Revenge is mine sayeth the Lord!

GOD warns us against gluttony and adultery... can you imagine with me a world without the illnesses of obesity and the destruction of families?

Everyone wants to find a scapegoat. No one wants to take responsibility for their own actions! 

Oh, and there's so much more!

Why do people complain about not being able to breath when they've chosen to smoke the last 50 years??? When I was a kid, we saw on the TV it was cool to smoke, we had really cool commercials encouraging us to smoke.  And I did! But GOD helped me quit smoking before I hit 21! And praise GOD for that because I don't have the COPD or cancer or the bronchial and lung problems, I'm seeing in other people my age. 

Yes, GOD has over the years helped me to do better and that is why I get so frustrated with other people still following bad advice. GOD tries to warn us and help us to have a better life. 

Now I can't ever go back and have a better life. I will always have memories of being beaten and abused and neglected. Like I tell people, "He was never my dad, he was always someone else's dad." I was his second child and he had 8 more with other women. You see that is a great example of how people make selfish choices. He and my mother should have worked it out. Kept the family together. This is an issue concerning the lusts of the flesh that GOD tries to tell us to avoid. 

It's so very important that we don't look outwards for GOD... we must find GOD within US to help us to do better. 

And look at all the craziness in the world today! Now we are the abusers when we try to tell others this basic truth. "Look, it's not healthy to carry that much weight. You should really lose weight; you will feel better!" ... Oh no... now we are fat shaming!!! We are being attacked for trying to give out the good news... the best advice. 

Look, Jesus is not going to drop out of the sky... Jesus will be coming when we all know the truth of HIM. Every knee shall bow, and every heart will confess that Jesus is the way the truth and the life! LOVE and TRUTH is the way to live! Hate and lies will only cause destruction of our souls... yes, the 2nd death... which is death of the spirit! What a waste of a life.

All we need is for all to look towards Jesus for the answers in life. 

This Holy Ghost is promised to all who seek HIM!

Let's get it together people, for the children's sake!

For Christ's sake!

GOD Bless US Everyone! IJCNA
