Right or Wrong: God is Constant!

Ok so I have come to the conclusion that I love arguing with God. I just do. It’s amazing. I love telling God that I’m right and he’s wrong. Why? Because I know that every time I do that God is proving to me that His ways are greater than mine. And I know that His ways are greater than mine. And He proves it to me. I admit that. So I can therefore say I’m wrong.

But being wrong is right. Because for me standing before the Father of creation and saying I’m wrong is just amazing. I love that. That puts me in the place of being humble and saying God you are my everything. Therefore I think I am going to always argue with God. I love it. Because, honestly, who wants to stand before the Lord of all perfection and the Lord of Judges and say “I’m right”????

Who on earth has the audacity to tell God that they are right? Now you are thinking… you just said you do that just about 6 sentences ago Noga what is wrong with you? And I do… but you know what… me telling God that I am right is God telling me that I need to trust in Him and put my faith in Him. And let me tell you something. Let me just break something to you. Every person on this earth has unfaithfulness toward God.

Every person no matter where you are in your walk with God is completely and utterly unfaithful to Him somewhere in your heart.

Let me illustrate something powerful that God has begun to speak to me about again. In the Gospels… Jesus asks his disciples a very important question. A question that has gripped me. A question that affects me. Jesus asks…. in Matthew 16. “Who do YOU say that I am?” and he is asking that to Peter. Now Peter replies perfectly… but this question is massive. Because I believe that God wants to speak this to the church today. I believe that God is asking Who do YOU say that I am? Really and truly who do you say that I am? Because God knows the answer that you give when you are at church or around other believers.

In your inner man who do you believe that God is? In your heart of hearts who do you believe God to be? I guarantee that YOU have a different answer of who God REALLY is deep in your heart that you don’t reveal to other people. I’m talking that belief where you don’t really trust God with all of your heart in certain areas of your life. That part where you just aren’t really sure if God can do what he said he will do. That area where you are like “God I love you but this cant be you, it just cant”.

I mean i’ll be honest here and say that even I have a view of God that is really probably incorrect, matter of fact I know part of it is incorrect, because I have believed a lie of the enemy as to who God truly is. And that belief affects who I am in God. That belief affects my worship, my prayer, my lifestyle, everything. That belief my friends needs to change. That belief of religion and religious doctrine has go to go out the window. Seriously, this question that Jesus asks isn’t a question to be taken lightly. This is a question that wont be answered with a little bible study, prayer group, or cell group. This isn’t something you can answer with a quick one liner (one of those perfect “Christian” answers).

This is who we are. We were made to answer this question. Through the way we actively live our faith out loud. This question should be answered. Who do YOU REALLY believe God to be? Is he a happy God? Is he a rejoicing God? Is he a God of love and peace? Is his power unlimited? Is his WISDOM unlimited? Is his ways unlimited? Is his faithfulness unlimited? Is everything about him RIGHT?

God is building his church upon this question of “WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?”. I’m serious. This is no joke. God told Peter that that is what he is building his church upon. This question affects our inner man. It affects our soul. It affects our Christian life. Our Christian worship. The way that we fast. The way that we give ourselves to Him. All of that is DIRECTLY related to what we really believe about God. And who we say that He is. If there are wrong views… then there will be a wrong pattern of living.

In Matthew 7 Jesus said that we will build our faith on one of two foundations… either on Rock… or on sand. And if you have a yes to the questions above and you have a yes on your heart as to the purposes of God then you are building your foundation upon Rock. But if not… its being built on sand. And beloved… I’m not here to say that Im perfect and I’m always building my house on Rock. Because I’m not. Because if I was I wouldn’t be sinning every second of everyday. I’m just asking that you partner with me in the attempt to answer these questions with a true yes. We have got to give ourselves to the pursuit of the knowledge of God. WE have got to fill our minds with what he says about himself. What others say about him (in the bible) and who we are in Him as well as how much he loves us. This is the central issue.

There are so many aspects as the knowledge of God that I have yet to believe and because I have yet to believe I cannot step out into that life of faith. And its not that I have chosen not to accept them… its that I have believed the lie of the enemy as to who God really is. You have done it to. You know… I say I believe in a faithful God but what happens when it touches my pocket book? Or what happens when it talks about me stepping out in ways that I normally wouldn’t? Its because I’m not convinced in the faithfulness of God and I have unbelief in my heart. Ask yourself those questions. Does your faith in God change when He asks you to give him money. God doesn’t ever ever ever ever.. need your money. God paid for you already so why would he need your money? He owns the world. God needs your heart. And God puts things on your heart to test you. To see if you will trust Him.

I can and could very well testify to that but im not going to get into that right now. People have tried to say there are soooo many issues that are going on in the church and in this world!!!!!!!! Its lies!! There is only one issue that matters and thats the issue of the knowledge of God. That is the only battle we need to fight. Forget anything else. Forget these minor battles they are fake. Take up the issue of the knowledge of God and pursue it with all of your heart. I have only begun my pursuit of this issue and i’ve been after it for a year (the whole time i’ve been saved). If you take up that issue you will never be wrong and you will always be right.

I’ll be praying for everyone who reads this. I believe there is power in this and it’ll change you if you just meditate on it. I love you all and I hope this has made a least some sense and I didn’t just ramble.

I love you!!!
