Which Do You Fear?

Adam was afraid and hide from God because he had sinned. But do we do so when we sin? No! We have become so bold that we do it the light. Some even do it in church and from the Pulpit! Some may do things in the dark, but God sees all, and the dark thinks we do will come to light. Why do we not fear God? We state easily that we love the Lord, but I never hear anyone( Pastor, Evangelist, Pastor or Bishop) say they fear God, and it is stated in scripture more times that I can count. Which do you fear most God, man or death?

I , like everyone else have sinned. I to do not fear God as I should. It hits me to the deepest part of my being that I do not reverence the my Lord God, as I should. I have allowed man and this world to dictate to me whom I should fear.

But I am learning to fear no man, for he can only harm my flesh, but not my spirit. Jesus, died not for this world, but for mankind to inherit the kingdom that can only be obtained by those who live by the spirit that is within. God is spirit. God's Breath that brought Adam to life can only be taken by God, which is the giver and taker of life. So who should you fear God or Man?

Lost: Families

I don't seem to understand why it is so hard for our families to come together or to forgive each other. I notice that we can more easily forgive a friend or stranger than a brother , sister, uncle, aunt or parent. What must we do to be able to forgive the ones we are suppose to love as family, over those that we know friend or neighbor? I mean, we more often will forgive and forget what was done by a friend than what your sister or brother did or said.

Love is suppose to be the glue that binds families together, but we let guilt, envy, jealousies, money, property and anger divide families for generations. The family sometimes never recovers the lose love, respect and joy that once was shared when growing up and living under one household. We have allowed the family to die due to the pride of the individual to have more weight than the love of family. We have allowed the outside influences to have more sway in our lives than love of family.

We need to find whatever will work to bring us together as a family, a community, a city , a nation and the entire world. What will stop the destruction of the family? God is waiting for all of us to realize that we are all one family. We live together, we die together. Let us start by praying as a family. Praying changes things. I've tested it. It brought my daughter off the streets and she is starting school in September. Thank God!
