After reading the books Me & my big mouth-Joyce Meyers and Matters of the Heart by Juanita Bynums, I find it hard to accept the comments of so-called christians.
A few that really alter the peace of my spirit:
1. Saved, saved, saved... from what? You're worst now that supposedly you know Salvation.
2. Blessed and Highly Favored, right & you can't pay a $3.00 parking fee.
3. God is Good All the time, No HE ISN'T... James 04:12 Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. ..... The NIV
If that's not plain enough for you... GOD WILL SPEAK HIMSELF: Exodus 4:14-17
"THE LORD BECAME IRRITATED WITH Moses and SAID: What about your brother Aaron, the Levite? I KNOW he is a Good Speaker. He is already on his way here to visit you, and he will be happy to see you again.
Aaron will speak to the people for you, and You Will BE LIKE ME TELLING Aaron what to say.
I WILL BE WITH BOTH OF You AS you Speak,and I WILL TELL EACH OF You What to Do.Now Take This Walking Stick AND USE IT TO PERFORM MIRACLES."
This was After the Burning Bush incident & still Moses had doubt that he could by the POWER OF GOD Do whatever GOD WAS REQUESTING... Not just a lack of Faith but loss of memory as they had just Met through a BURNING BUSH that was not Consumed by the FIRE--Exodus 03:02-10.
We are no better. No sooner than GOD allows bills that were not accounted for to get settled. We worry about the next months bills and argue or fight with those closest to us, not understanding the ramifications of our mentality & it's Power over our Lives-Proverbs 23:07.
Another time GOD'S ANGER was provoked by Mankind: Genesis 06:05-13, Numbers 25:01-16 The Moabite women had seduced the men of Israel to ceremonial practices & fertility worship to the gods of their religious beliefs. Other Baal worships Numbers 31:16, Deuteronomy 04:03 & Hosea 09:10. The Medianites were descendants of Abraham & Keturah(Genesis 25:01-04). Sometimes they were at Peace(Ex. 02:11-22, Judges 04:11 & 1 Samuel 15:06) and sometimes in conflict(Num. 22:04 & 07, 25:06-08, & Judges 06-08:).
Numbers 25:03-04 THE LORD WAS ANGRY with Israel because they had worshipped the god Baal Peor. So HE SAID To Moses, "Take the Israelite leaders who are Responsible for this and have them Killed in front of MY SACRED TENT WHERE Everyone Can See.
Maybe then I WILL STOP BEING ANGRY with the Israelites."
Wow, now for those that say well that was in the old days, We are in the New Testament, GOD Does not operate like that any more...
Obviously you've never read or didn't understand the scene of Acts 05:01-16 with Ananias & Sapphira his wife; Ananias and his wife Sapphira also sold a piece of property. But they agreed to cheat and keep some of the money for themselves.
05:03 Peter said, "Why has Satan made you keep back some of the money from the sale of property? Why have you lied to the HOLY SPIRIT? The property was yours before you sold it, and even after you sold it, the money was still yours.
What made you do such a thing? You didn't lie to people. You lied TO GOD!"
verse :05 As soon as Ananias heard this, he dropped dead, and everone who heard about it was frightened.
Some young men came in wrapped up his body. Then they took it out and buried it.
verse :07 Three hours later Sapphira came in but did not know what happened to her husband.
Peter asked her, "Tell Me, did you sell the property for this amount?"
"Yes", she answered, "that's the amount."
verse :09 Then Peter said, "Why did the two of you agree to test THE LORD'S SPIRIT?
The men who buried Ananias are by the door, and they will carry you out!"
At once she fell at Peter's feet and died.
Now We have The Bible to reference Everything under the sun/SON to Instruct, Reproof & Restore the Relationship between GOD & mankind.
Fred Hammond a Gospel Artist wrote a song, "HE'S GOD!" and I tell You just the Words alone EmPower Me Time after Time... HE'S HIGH & LIFTED UP & You should Know that's just the way it Is, HE IS RULER OF HEAVEN & EARTH below that's just the way it is. HE IS IN CONTROL OF my life, HE'S SOVEREIGN HE KNOWS WHAT'S RIGHT!
HE WILL TAKE CARE OF HIS OWN, HE'S GOD ALMIGHTY & HE'S ON THE THRONE!!!"
At a point in the song Fred exclaims, HE DON'T NEED her, HE DON'T NEED him, HE DON'T NEED us, Altogether HE DON'T NEED them. HE DON'T NEED you, HE DON'T NEED me, HE'S GOD ALMIGHTY BY HIMSELF CAN'T YOU SEE?"
I just love that song, & I LOVE the Revelations The Word of GOD DELIVERS TO Me Daily as today I Receive what I overlooked yesterday or better, I HEAR THE VOICE OF THE LORD ANEW All the time.
What makes GOD ANGRY?
When We CREATED IN HIS IMAGE & IN THE LIKENESS OF HIMSELF fall for the lies of HIS enemy & the weakness of our flesh(Genesis 03:09-24).
GOD EXPECTS us to Love HIM as we demand love from our friends, family and passersby.
Unlike mankind though GOD IS PATIENT & WILLING TO FORGIVE(Romans 06:23 & 10:09).
GOD DESIGNED Us To Experience The Fullness of LIFE not to be burdened with stress and arguments over trivial words.
If the Word Tells us HE HAS MANY MANSIONS IN HIS HOUSE(John 14:02) without ever stating how many mansions his mansion holds...
Surely HE'S CAPABLE of Assiting our finite capabilities(Matthew 16:05-12).
Trust GOD and Live.
