Perhaps You May or Perhaps You May Not

I’m about to change everything about everything so I hope you stick around. What I’m about to give is understanding with illustration that’s profound but simple. Now to the point.

Have you ever wondered if God speaks to you? Oh, you say you do but you never heard Him speak to you. Oh, you say the way you live your life He wouldn’t want to. Oh, you say you’re still waiting. Oh, did I hear you say you don’t believe in God. WRONG PEOPLE, wrong, wrong, wrong. God speaks to each and every one of us 7/24 since the beginning of our creation and I’m going to try to explain it as I learned.

When God created Man, He met with Man in the cool of the day, (Genesis 3:8). We/Man had total trust in God as He nurtured us in all things. Any and everything we needed and were to be aware of He provided. We weren’t created to omit God from anything, but something happened. We got deceived and ate from the forbidden Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil (aka. blessings and calamity) that was in the mist of the Garden of Eden, (Genesis 2:17). This trees fruit was significant because of its nature and to eat of it opened our eyes to what we never knew or dreamed and that was to have doubt and question everything, including God. We didn’t have that trait before then and never knew it existed; God was our source of everything, so what is this trait. It was the introduction of conscience, not consciousness but a conscience that from then until now has been our battle; the battle of should I or should I not, and perhaps I may or perhaps I may not, the battle within.

Our conscience puts before us questions by reason that our emotions decide, choices for example between right and wrong etc. If we choose wrong; you heard the phrase, we’ll have a guilty conscience, an inner conviction. We don’t own this conscience but it’s there lurking and we don’t tap into it, but make decisions based on what’s in it for me or those like me that it offers. Scripture says it’s where the battle is, affirming it’s not of this world but the principalities of a world we don’t see, (Ephesians 6:12). That’s right, this verse is explaining your conscience and it’s a spiritual battle apart from this physical world; a battle not between you and me, but a battle presented to our conscience of how we’ll treat and live with each other and ourselves; it’s the spiritual Realm speaking to you, and you making the choice to hear and obey the suggestion. What’s speaking are two things, one, our sin of disobedience inherited from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil; conscience by Satan, and second, God speaking to that conscience through the Holy Spirit to get you to do the right thing by Him.

Satan, who is the ruler against the authorities, and is the power of this dark world, and the spiritual force of evil in the Heavenly realms comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came so that we have life and have it abundantly, not at the expense of others, but our own as only He can deliver, (John10:10). When you can do wrong without conviction of conscience, (1st Timothy 4:2) your God is Satan; he’s speaking to you and you’re obeying, but if you fill convicted about the wrong you’re doing or did, you’re hearing from God; God is speaking to you through the Holy Spirit, (Romans 1:18).

When we teach young children to get along with others in schools; teaching them right from wrong, we’re teaching them how to hear from God and that doing wrong will give them a guilty conscience and they don’t want that, plus we teach there’s consequences for doing so. [ Whatever happened to the separation of church and state, I’ll tell you, Satan deletes the source, (Romans 1:21) and ignorance of what happened in the Garden pertaining to the Knowledge of the Tree of Good and Evil with its introduction of conscience into the world makes a mockery out of the separation between church and state because no one and nothing can get around this fact and its results which God forbade and the guilt of conscience that ensued. Conceivably it’s God speaking to you about a choice you’re able to make because of that knowledge that could be against His Will saved or not, young or old, obeyed or not, from cradle to grave, taught everywhere and upheld in courts when His statutes are broken when the choice was wrong. Where’s the separation? Schools and courts uphold the voice and word of God.] But many households teach their children different. They’re teaching their children not to hear from God but to hear and follow Satan who is THIER god, but Satan is a liar period, (John 8:44), and a lot of this is because of ignorance, (Hosea 4:6). Doing right is listening to God and taught spiritually through sound conscience even if there’s nothing else; not doing right is wrong — ignoring God, listening to Satan, and is also taught spiritually but again passing over sound conscience leaning to your own understanding; snubbing that there is something else, (2nd Timothy 1:7), and (Proverbs 3:5), so there’s no excuse because of your choices, (Romans 1:20 & 22). God will speak to you through your conscience and will remind you of His ways.

To discriminate, manipulate, hate, deceive, exploit, cheat, destroy; kill without conscience, meaning that your way of life is to destroy the innocent because they’re different and shouldn’t be around and justification of their demise is  because of YOUR belief, or for YOUR profit or gain, or for YOU and some group is not of God, it is of the Antichrist spirit and you are damned because God will quit speaking to you and let Satan have you, (Romans 1:28-32). But if your conscience convicts you of these things, you still have a chance. God is speaking to you and hasn’t given up on you. Look at this world and see Satan’s work. His followers hear his voice just like God says His followers hear His Voice, (John 10:27).

Once you understand this is just one of the ways God speaks to us all — through our conscience, you can grow and move forward toward a deeper and more vivid communication from Him because His Voice that you hear through your conscience is His simplest form of communication.

God didn’t give up on us and how He made us even though we disobeyed Him in the Garden. He didn’t write us off totally — so there’s some things we can’t get around because it’s still in our DNA, and it’s Him constantly speaking to us and we hearing Him saved or not. We weren’t made to disobey God but after we ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil we learned how, (Proverbs 14:12). And in (Proverbs 14:13) He explains the guilty conscience, but don’t worry Jesus came and through Him we get reprogramed on how to function at the higher level we had before the introduction of conscience and the choice to be disobedient, doubtful; forsaking a supernatural lifestyle. Hey — let’s face it; God does. Oh, but because of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, perhaps you may or perhaps you may not.

What Makes a Great Man

One day my son asked me, Dad — What makes a Great man? Tough question I thought. I took some time to gather my thoughts as my son stared into my eyes with a look that read he was pleading; he needed nothing but the truth, no fluff. I told him this.

A Great man is not how fast you can run, or how high you can jump Son, or how well you can sing, or how graceful you can dance, or how excellent you can speak, or how perfect you can read, or how much money you can earn, get my drift. Son, a Great man is not the man you see in the mirror, but can be a topic of discussion that’ll live on forever once whom he sees in the mirror is gone from this realm called time — but it’ll be defined by the one’s he left; not you.

A Great man does loving things, but doing loving things won’t make you a Great man. A Great man is humble, but being humble doesn’t make you a Great man. A Great man is trustworthy, honest, but being trustworthy doesn’t make you a Great man. A Great man will be emulated and quoted, but being emulated doesn’t make you a Great man. A Great man gives much of himself, but giving for no return doesn’t make you a Great man. A Great man can be rich and famous, but wealth and fame doesn’t make you a Great man. A Great man can be upfront or in the rear; unseen. So when you’re called Son to be upfront or asked to be unseen, this won’t make you a Great man. A Great man is honored to be in YOUR presence, but someone who celebrates you doesn’t mean you’re a Great man.

A Great man makes his mark on your soul. A Great man learned how to live and be comfortable in himself, but not the self he sees reflected in the mirror Son, or the one that they’ll maybe read and brag about. I peered deep into my son’s eyes, as deep as he was peering into mine. You feel me Son I paused, upsetting his stare, interrupting that wide-eyed expression which was revealing how intense his thoughts, captivating him; racing through his imagination.

Wow Dad he said in bewilderment. Loving, dependable, humble, trustworthy, honest, copied, money, fame and fortune, upfront or unseen, respectful of others, giving, and having peace within, and not one of these will make you a Great man?

No Son, but Great men exemplify these traits and more but when he leaves time and goes back into eternity, he’ll always be grieved when mention. The things he did would’ve outweighed his character. To have seen him, he’d be as you. To have known him, is like having a relative. To miss him is like time standing still.

As time goes on, Great men are glorified and some become bigger than life; likewise Son, as time goes on, will someday one be you? I know this happened for Jesus.
