The Rebellious spirit
The Rebellious spirit
Grace and the Guarantee has reached over 800,000 souls since 2014 not counting search engine referrals. The Word of God never comes back to the Lord void. It always hits its mark and cannot be denied unless willfully discarded.
Struggling with the Word is usually the small rebel spirit in us that isn't necessarily against what God has said but is merely against the One who said it.
When we were kids, we were often willful in our thoughts due to someone or our parents not allowing us to do something without compassion or reason to our needs that in our own mind was harmless. Over time when such direction was constant it became exasperating. We then became resentful. Then, resentment turned into survival of self and an increasing need to escape it. The barrier to successful societal norms was sealed against anyone with an opinion.
Hence the rebellious spirit is born. It didn't need a cause. It just needed to be against the one speaking their seeming truth or Truth. So how does one minister Truth to the Rebellious?
You can't. There is opposition against anyone adhering to even the simplest and most obvious. As a result, the hole and void in the soul continues to painfully seek a remedy on their own. Unfortunately, there are many stories like these that do not end well.
Fortunately, however, there are many more that do. Because, the Word has convinced me, that God pursued me because He knew me before time began. He also, prompted many to pray for me. As a result, I find it difficult to find any Spirit-filled believer who has not been plowed under by the god of this world more than one could honestly count. We all have found the Lord Jesus Christ from the ground looking up after being dismounted from our prideful seat of seeming worldly knowledge realizing that in the face of the Truth we are without excuse, comment and rendered speechless.
The only expression that then comes is the following prayer.
DEAR GOD. I WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH. I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT FROM ANY PRIEST OR A PASTOR OR A HOLY MAN. I WANT TO KNOW IT FROM YOU AND ONLY YOU.
The best advice: FASTEN YOUR SEATBELT!
