Just The Edge of God

If a person states he is sorry but does not express it in their heart, they are only fooling themselves because man cannot deceive God. “Don’t be misled: You can never make a fool out of God. Whatever you plant is what you’ll harvest (Galatians 6:7, MSG).” The original translation states: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap.” (Gal 6:7, KJV) Many people try to fool themselves into believing they can bargain or slip under God’s watchful eyes, pretend to repent, and then go back to sin with no consequences. However, God knows everything. And in His divine wisdom, He is waiting for them to repent because He loves them, but if they don’t repent, they will go to their earthly father, who will torment them for an eternity.

The Spirit of God dwells in his anointed children, and He walks and talks with those children who want to encounter an intimate relationship with Him. We lose status and a relationship with the heavenly Father because life’s cares fool us, and this is just what Satan wants and strives to put into our soul and spirit daily. If Satan can keep our minds off God (the Holy Trinity) and keep our minds on foolish things of this world such as; jobs, food, clothes, our electronic gadgets, TV, the next reality TV show, and social media, then we’re doomed. Yes, we all must work and eat, but God will provide those things for us; we do not require worship of these things. Some other examples are: scheming to get ahead or lying on job applications to look good until exposed. We lust after the latest clothes because society says material items grant prestige and submit our lives to Hollywood star views instead of living as ourselves. Even our eating habits are part of the scheme to derail us, so we have health concerns because we eat the wrong foods. Therefore, we are sick and cannot do the work of Jesus by spreading the Word because now we’re only concerned with our wellbeing.
