For a long time in religions we hear that everything is sin, do not do this because it is sin! Do not do that because God can punish you! Somehow we have been taught that God is punishing and that He wants to cause us pain, if we read the scriptures and stop to analyze their meaning we will discover that it is false, God does not want to punish us, He simply left principles of blessing and curse so that we can freely choose our destiny and together with this, he urges us to choose the path of blessing so that we can do well.
From the beginning, when Adam and Eve decided to disobey God, the curse came into force, if you realize God is not guilty of the bad that happens to us, the guilty is Satan and our decision to yield to temptation. We can read and discover in the book of Deuteronomy 30:19 the blessings that reach those who obey the law of God as well as warn about the serious consequences that come to suffer those who turn away from God.
Deuteronomy 30:19
19 To the heavens and to the earth I call witnesses against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing >and cursing; Choose, then, life, so that you and your offspring may live.
Before sin entered into the heart of man there was perfect communication with the Creator face to face, but Satan knew that sin would cut off communion with God and separate us from Him. For that reason God in his immense love, had already created a master plan from before the foundation of the world, and He knew that man would fall, but also saw the final result of Man, for that reason, he created mechanisms and ways of communication to express his will to man and show him the way forward .
If you go in the same way of the path of the curse I want you to know that God can get you out of there, his word says that even the righteous fall seven times, He knows the contrary law that is in our flesh, for that reason he urges us to meditate in his word of day and night, because there lies the secret of keeping us connected with Him and separating us from sin, it alerts us to temptations and gives us an outlet for problems. If you cry to Him, God will hear you, he does not reject a humble heart that comes to his presence seeking forgiveness and help, if you find yourself in this moment suffering the consequences for your fault or error, repent and seek his face, in God it can be free from the bondage of any vice, disease, lack of forgiveness, and any other oppression.
Proverbs 24:16
16 For the righteous falls seven times, and rises again;
But the wicked shall fall into mischief.
Many times we Christians think that we are indestructible, that nothing will harm us, but this is totally false, in the book of proverbs we can find innumerable teachings about the consequences of not attending to the instruction of God and expresses the following:
Proverbs 2: 7
7 He provides wisdom to the upright;
It is a shield to those who walk uprightly.and also says:
Proverbs 14:12
12 There is a way that seems right to a man;
But its end is the way of death.
You can be a Christian and say that you love God, you can give your life for the poor, and still give your own body to be burned, but if there is no love, it is useless. On what is love based? In keeping his commandments and presenting fear and respect to God, this is the greatest demonstration of love that we can express without words.
1 CORINTHIANS 13: 3
And if I give all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but I have no love, it does not profit me at >all.
John 14: 15-31
15 If you love me, keep my commandments;
There are curses disguised as blessings, everything that is acquired without honesty, based on lies or deceit leads to the curse, these acts lead to paths of curse, and the enemy takes care that you yourself create your own lie and think that you are doing things right, even if you do well in everything, does not mean that God is happy and approves of your actions, but whatever your situation, the greatest blessing is walking according to the ordinances of God and as a consequence you will enjoy protection, spiritual blessing. and material blessing, you will also become a blessing for your neighbor. It is never too late to reflect and although no one is seeing you, the Holy Spirit of God alerts our consciences and our hearts that you are not practicing justice. It is time to think about each one what we are doing with conscience and with a mind willing to please in God and learn to trust Him. Remember, you can not walk in blessing if you are not aligned with his word.
Galatians 6: 7
7 Do not be deceived; God can not be mocked: for whatever a man sows, that will also reap.
Many times difficult challenges and trials come to our lives, circumstances that God himself allows so that we can expose our weaknesses through pressures, this makes us aware of what we should improve and change to be promoted, in the midst of pressure is where we are tempted to make desperate decisions because the only thing we think is to get out as quickly as possible from that situation or circumstance that squeezes or chokes us, but right there is where we must cry out to God and ask for help, his guide, his provision or Whatever you need at that moment, in everything we have an answer to Him.
Matthew 7: 7-11
7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
8 For whoever asks, receives; and he who seeks finds; and to the one who calls, it will open.
9 What man is there of you, to whom if his son asks bread, will he give him a stone?
10 And if he asks a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in >heaven give good things to those who ask him?
I invite you to follow the path of integrity, earthly things are corruptible, they do not remain forever, but God's are eternal and permanent think of the good, the pure, the just and the honest, the Lord wants a heart according to to his heart and this we can only achieve when we feed on his word, this is to drink his blood and eat his flesh, Christ himself is the living word of God, He is the verb, and this word is eaten when we meditate on it and we keep it in our hearts.
God bless you, may this seed be sown in the best soil of your heart and boil abundant fruit upwards and deep roots downward, in the name of Jesus.
