What annoys you about God the most!?
Hi!
I'm picking if you've been either worn down by the heavily religious who could never see our Creator as having a sense of humour or you've been condemned by both man and monster..... then this question will either irk you, the religious and the monsters.
I have one answer for that = fabulous!! And let's keep going!!
Offense is like nits / head-lice!
One - starts off as a collection of tiny eggs (such as hearing your favourite scripture interpreted differently or hearing that someone was visited by angel)
Two - those eggs hatch and those suckers are hungry (jealousy or envy starts to swell, general conversations of disagreement set in / division weapons are sharpened)
Three - the nits are ravenous, they grow wings and not only breed throughout your skull but jump across to another head (every opportunity is taken to speak against the person, church splits occur, breakdown in relationships / community fall apart)
Sounds excessive!? But it happens all the time, the word of God is used as a weapon of control / division and hate against other humans instead of an open conversation about love, grace, forgiveness and seeking out the mysteries of Him.
What does any of this have to do with the title!? Plenty!
When God came and got me out of the mess I was in from walking away from Him (interesting how that works right?), His positive outlook seemingly all the time was what irritated me the most.
He didn't let me hold onto offense, unforgiveness and hate. In my opinion it was far easier to hold onto such things because firstly I had reason to, and two it had taken a lot of effort on my part to stay offended!
Why would I want my mindset changed at all / I was fine right?! Wrong. Passion, whether it's in love or hate has to go somewhere, and I was that full of hate either I was going to kill someone or myself (both are true but that'll be under testimony teaching in classroom)
What you won't surrender to God, satan will use. Pain, habits, behaviour patterns, relationships, life / death..... if every part of your being / every part of your soul does not believe that Jesus loves you...... you will find the enemy will attack you here the most
One of my most favourite teachings Jesus explained to me over the years was Matthew 21:44 - "and whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder"
The stone is Him, Jesus refers to Himself as a stumbling block quite a bit (Isaiah 8:14, Romans 9:33, 1 Peter 2:8). He explained how if I fell on Him, was shattered/broken, He would restore me, the cracks and wounds would no longer be there.
As the point of this scripture is, humans need Father God, Jesus, Holy Spirit......thats Who we were created for. Jesus is an offense to many because He breaks mindsets, challenges pride, confronts sin (have a wander through the gospels).
But in our brokeness His blood redeems us, white as snow, in order that we may love and live.
As always it is a choice, you can either fall on Him and be saved or have Him fall on you and be lost.
In the meantime I'd love to hear your annoyances with God, and so would He! He loves laughing!!
And don't forget your Holy Spirit nit spray against offense - it's everywhere these days eeeekkkk!!!
