Bible Study God Is In Control

[for_his_glory]

Great post lass,
So convoluted is the instruction of fear these days. My mother would tell me, when I was young, "I brought you into this world and I can take you out," and "Fear? I know you think you fear nothing but you had better learn to fear me!" Using phrases such as these for instruction today can land a body in prison for Child Abuse, crazy.

My mother and my dad were both lost people that lived like Hell and in spite of their lack of faith I learned great lessons relating to the proper respect of our God. I was scared of failing dad, not because he might beat me but because it would break his heart and in, just, that manner, I fear God.

God has already purchased me, a slave, and has adopted me to be one of His sons, I cannot be lost in that manner but it is possible that I can disappoint Him. The argument, using God's attribute, omnipresence, can be made if we want to remain in the simple realm but our God is not a simple god and we are a complex creation.

As much as some will cry foul, there is great depth to be plumbed and understood when examining our Omnipotent God and His complex creation, man. While it is true that our father, God, already knows if I will fail Him or not, I do not know if I will or not. If I love God in a like manner to the manner that I love dad, I will work, strive, not to disappoint Him. Here is another major aspect worthy of it's own discussion and I will leave it right there.

So much to learn as we will never exhaust the teachings set before us by His spoken word, but only to grasp and hold on to that which we have learned by His Holy Spirit and be an example to others.

Being down again this week I watched and worshiped with David Jeremiah this morning as He taught from The Revelation. I think so many calling themselves Christian are scared to death of studying prophecy, resulting in fear of the future. I began my Complete Bible study in 1990 and with study and prayer the Holy Spirit has not only impressed on me that fear is useless but that it is such a demonstrator on the lack of knowledge or if they've studied, a lack of faith.

Today we live in a world where we like to imagine no strife and from this Utopia comes a lack of reality. And if they ever come to realize the 365 times, in one form or another, God has warned us not to worry, they use it to feed the existence of this state. They have as a result lost touch with true life application of fear and just being scared.

Being scared was, once, used to entertain children. Bad example, I know, but one all can relate to: When we grew up, people built Haunted Houses for the end of October to scare the living daylights out of the children in the area. I do recall giving up my quarter every year to walk through and have the living jeebers scared out of me but you know, I never feared going through alone or when I was a teen walking my girl through. scared yes, fear, no.

The study of the power of god, logically leads to the study of Prophecy and the study of both should always result in fear turning into momentary fright, scared. Just like right now, with the ISIS onslaught, I do not want my people to see this Blood and guts Mentality, I saw this with the VC in the sixties and always have tried to keep it away form America. But here we are, a Godless country and a, by and large, Godless church.

I watch these things happening and I will, certainly, be scared when the knife is pulled to kill me but I will not die frightened. I know who has everything in His grip and I know the dummy that might turn my earthly life off will be opening the door to my Eternal Life, what's to fear?

You my learned friend are so spot on. My flesh might fear the knife to my throat, but the very Spirit of God that dwells in me will produce from my lips praising the name of Jesus with my dying breath.
Americas biggest deception is that they think things like we see in other countries like Sharia law, Jihad beheadings and the many slayings of Christians could not possibly ever reach our shores, but I'm sorry to say we are not exempt from anything. We either stand grounded in the faith that is Christ Jesus or we surrender to the enemy which is the prince of this world (Satan).
