Get It or Get Got is about being accountable and accepting the consequences for the choices we make. www.amazon.com/author/tanyarking
Have you ever put your all into something you tried to find? While you were searching, things just were not right. And then you found it! And after you found it, you received peace.
It’s the same way without the Father. Once we have found the Father, we have peace. His peace. God wants us to search for him with all our hearts. If we do, he said, we will find him.
Jeremiah 29:13 (KJV) – and ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
The one best friend you can ever have is God! He will never leave you or forsake you. He will give you your hearts desires. He will give you peace. He will protect you. He will guide your footsteps and make your pathway straight.
All you have to do is do what He tells you to do.
Hebrews 13:5 (KJV) – let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have; for he hath said, I will never leave thee, not forsake thee.
Psalm 36:4 (KJV) – delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
II Thessalonians 3:16 (KJV) – now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.
Proverbs 3:6 (KJV) – in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
John 15:14 (KJV) – ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
Have someone ever came to you, mad about something and blamed it on you, and your response was; “your mad at the wrong person”. That’s how it is when satan attacks us. He wants us to blame God, not him. And sometimes we do. We don’t stop to think, we’re mad at the wrong person.
Satan’s job is to steal, kill and destroy. He doesn’t want us to prosper, or to have joy. He wants us confused, angry, sad and unhappy. He wants us to take our eyes off of God, blame God, and not him.
God is our Father, who wants the best for us. He cares for us. His word says, no weapon formed against us shall prosper. He gave us power! He wants us to live life in abundance! He said, we are more than conquerors!
God does allow things to happen in our lives, but everything we go through is meant for our good, never to harm us. So, the next time you’re going through something and you think God doesn’t love you, know that He does love you. He already gave you the tools you need to go through whatever it is you’re going through.
John 10:10 (KJV) – the thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
I Corinthians 14:33 (KJV) – for God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
Isaiah 54:17 (KJV) – no weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.
Romans 8:37 (KJV) – nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Romans 8:28 (KJV) – and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
I John 4:19 (KJV) – we love him, because he first loved us.
Discussing the morals in relationships, and the consequences we face is not a serious matter. It’s only serious when you get caught.
Having extra affairs in a relationship is advertised as something common, therefore, people don’t take the consequences serious, or the relationship. It’s only serious when you get caught.
There are consequences in everything we do, whether you get caught or not. But, understand, you’re already caught, by the eyes of The Lord. There’s nothing that you have hidden, that will not be revealed. What you do in the dark, will reveal itself, either now or later.
Luke 8:17 (KJV) – for nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
Jeremiah 23:24 (KJV) – can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.
Ecclesiastes 12:14 (KJV) – for God shall bring every work into judgement, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Proverbs 27:5 (KJV) – open rebuke is better than secret love.
God has called us all to be so much more than what we think we are. Our call in life. . . that means you too, is to preach the gospel to the world. That is the great commission. That means for us to tell others about Jesus. Those that are in our household, our neighbors, our friends, our co-workers.
We are God’s ambassadors. But, most of us are uncomfortable telling people about God. That’s because we don’t have that personal relationship with Him.
Do yourself a favor, get into the word of God, and get to know him on a personal level. You will see and experience His love for you on a level that you will want to tell others of his goodness.
Mark 16:15 (KJV) – and he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
II Corinthians 5:20 (KJV) – now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.
Why is it we go about our lives trying to make God work around our schedule, our life, more or less, our rules? We believe our way is the right way. When we do so, His word says, we are fools. And we wonder why our lives are the way they are.
Proverbs 12:15 (KJV) – the way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
We go to our jobs to do our work, and expect to get paid for what we do. If we go above and beyond, we expect to be noticed and recognized for it. And when it’s time for the performance review, we expect to get an increase in pay because we believe all those things we did are worthy of an increase.
We think, the things we did wrong, the mistakes we made, are nothing compared to the things we did right. We believe, going above and beyond, and everything we did right, out-weigh the things we did wrong. Therefore, we feel those things that we did wrong do not need to be discussed. But, during the performance review, the things we did wrong and the things we did right are both reviewed. And based on our total performance, everything we have done, both right and wrong, is what we will receive.
The same is with our Heavenly Father. We shall be judged by God when it’s time for us to meet Him in glory. All that we have done, good and bad, we will be rewarded for.
Whatever you do, do it for God, not man, and God will reward you. Remember, any wrong you do, you will receive for the wrong you have done. Therefore, cling to those things that are good, and watch the increase you receive based on your performance!
Psalm 125:4 (KJV) – do good, O Lord, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
Matthew 16:27 (KJV) – for the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
Colossians 3:23-25 (KJV) – and whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
Romans 12:9 (KJV) – let love be without dissimulation, abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
