What Causes People to Stray from God’s Way.

~ What Causes People to Stray from God's Way.  ~
There are Only 2 'Ways' to Live Life.
God's Way or the devils way.
(The devils way is often referred to as 'the worlds way' and 'secular'). 
There is No 'In Between' Way. 

God's Way Fills You with Peace, Love, Joy, Freedom & Excitement.
God's Way gives You Real Purpose and Meaning to Your Life.

The devils way Fills You with Misery, Depression, Worry, Anxiety, & Stress.
The devils way is Pointless, it Traps You, and has No Meaning.

It was God who Created us all and Breathed His Life into us. So it's obvious that God's Way is how we're All Supposed to Live. It's what Life is all about.

God Loves His Creations (which includes You), and He has Given us Loving Guidance on How He Created us to Live. He's also Given us a Promise of Wonderful Blessings when we Live how God Created us to Live.

So then, 'What Causes People to Stray from God's Way' ?

The obvious answer is because there is 'sin' in the world caused by Adam & Eve Disobeying God and eating from the tree of the knowledge of Good and evil.

But it's Not that simple. 
Because God Gave Every 'Individual' Person 'Freedom of Choice'. 

Which means even though there is 'sin' in the world, it's still 'Your Choice' whether You Live 'Your Life' God's Way or the devils way.

Many people Do 'Choose' to Live God's Way.

But Many people also 'Choose' to Live the devils way.

So 'What Causes People to Stray from God's Way' ?

The Truth is, there are Many, Many reasons.

Here are a few of the reasons from my own Observations, and from what God has Guided me with through 'His Word' in the Bible, and from 'Direct' Communication with Jesus.

~ Some people Stray from God's Way because they are 'Taught' the 'Wrong Way' to Live from the Beginning of their Lives by 'So Called' family who Don't Follow God's Way themselves. 
I write 'So Called' because God's Way of a 'True Family' would Never Teach a Child the 'Wrong Way' to Live.

The world Tricks people from Childhood into Believing that they 'Have' to Honour & Obey what their 'family' Tells them to 'Do'. 
But that's 'Not True'. 
If a 'So Called' family member Teaches You to 'Do' Anything that goes Against God's Way, then God would Obviously 'Not' want You to 'Do' it.

The devil though is getting an 'Easy Ride', to be able to 'Trick' Children because Many of the people who Children 'Trust' such as school teachers and even Churches, 'Teach' Children from an Early Age that they 'Have' to 'Do' what their family 'Tells' them to 'Do'. 

But the Truth is, Children should 'Only' Honour & Obey when they're Taught God's Way.

~ Another reason why People Stray from God's Way is because they are 'Taught' Wrong Information from schools, colleges and universities.

The world makes it Seem that Education is Massively Important. 
The first part of peoples Lives are based around Education.

But the Truth is Education is Always Changing. 
Many of the things being 'Taught' Now are Different to what was 'Taught' when I was in Education. And what I was 'Taught' was Different to what my Parents were 'Taught' when they were in Education.

There is No 'Solid Foundation' in Education because the Majority of places do Not Teach God's Way.
Most of Education is based on 'Scientific Analogies', which are Always Changing when another Scientist says 'Their Way' is better than the Previous Scientist. 
Or it's based on a 'Persons Theories', which again Changes when a Different Person comes out with a Different Theory.

The devil is being Given another 'Easy Ride' through Education, because Many of the devils Followers can Easily Hide in the Disguise of 'Teachers', and they can then Easily 'Trick' People with Lies from a very Early Age.

~ Some People Stray from God's Way because they get involved with the 'Wrong' people. (This happened to me in my teens and early twenties before I started my Wonderful Journey with Jesus). 

The devil Leads People Astray through 'So Called' friends.

Again I write 'So Called' because No 'True Friend' would Ever try to get You to 'Do' something that's Wrong.

People make Friendships throughout All stages of Life. And because 'the world' makes it 'Seem' that Friends are so Important, then many People of All ages are often Willing to 'Go Against' God's Way, just so they can have 'friends'. 
Many people 'Do' things that they know they shouldn't 'Do' just so they can 'Fit In'. 

The devil uses 'So Called' friends to 'Lure' People Away from God.

Friendships in general is not a bad thing. If You find 'True Friends' who 'Truly Follow' God's Way (and Only God's Way), then that's fine. As long as You Don't put them before God and God's Way.
But if You haven't got those type of Friends, then it's Better to have No friends and be able to Enjoy a Wonderful Relationship with God & Jesus, than to have Lots of 'friends' who can 'Take You Away' from Your Creator God. 

  ~ Some People Stray from God's Way because of their Job.

This is for 2 reasons.
The first is that Many of the Jobs that People Do in the modern world are Not the type of thing that God would like People Doing.
If something is Wrong then it's Wrong, it Doesn't make it ok just because people get Paid to 'Do' it.
Some Jobs are actually Mentally, Emotionally and Spiritually 'Pulling' People 'Away from God', without them even realising.

The other reason is that 'the world' makes it 'Seem' that Work is the Most Important thing in Life.

Almost everything in 'the worlds way' is Aimed at Work.
Schools Educate people to get a Job. College & Universities Train people for Work. Even the workplaces offer Extra Training all Aimed at making People Work More. Work pays money and 'the world' is Obsessed with money.

Many People's 'Whole Lives' are Literally Revolving around Work.

But the Truth is, God Didn't Create us to Live that Way.
Yes He doesn't want People being Lazy. But the Work that God refers to in the Bible is Work that 'Glorifies God' and where the Work itself brings You 'Closer to God'. 

~ One of the 'Big Causes' of People Straying from God's Way is because of 'the worlds' Obsession with 'social media'. 

The more People become 'Social', the more Distant they become from God.

Many people would now rather spend time on 'social media' than Spending time With God.

'Social media' is one of the devils Favourite Weapons.

He's got Many of 'his followers' Trained in how to 'Manipulate' People without them realising, by uses the 'Tactical Strategies' of 'social media'. 

'Social media' literally Gives 'Anybody' the Opportunity to 'Trick' Billions of People all around the world with 'Lies & Deception', and it's as Easy as 'Pressing a Button'. 

~ There are Many other things that Cause People to Stray from God's Way, such as TV, Radio, Internet, Advertisements, Books, Phones, Music, 
Worldly Sayings, Thoughtless Talking, and Many, Many more.

~ But the most Heart Breaking of all the reasons that Cause People to Stray from God's Way, is when People are 'Deceived' by 'the devils followers' 'Pretending' to be Believers of God & Jesus.

I've seen this happen Many, Many times over the past 20 years or so.

And the devil uses this 'evil Tactic' in All areas of Life, including the Home, Education, the Workplace, Social Activities, Luncheon Clubs, Hobby Groups, Youth Groups, and worst of all in many Churches & Ministries. 

The devil knows that People are 'Searching for the Truth'. 
So he's Obviously going to Position 'his followers' in the Places that 'Hurting People' will look to when 'Searching for the Truth'. 

And he's Obviously Not going to let People know who the 'Deceivers' are who are trying to Lead them 'Away from God'. 
The devil uses 'his followers' to 'Deceive & Manipulate' People in Ways that 'Seem' to be the 'Truth' because it's from 'So Called' Believers.

* Just to be Clear, there are Many, Many Wonderful 'True Believers' who would Never try to Take You Away from God. And I'm Truly Grateful to Every One of them for the Wonderful things they Do for God & Jesus. 

But unfortunately Many 'So Called' Believers are 'Misleading' People about how God Created them to 'Be', and how to Live their Lives.

I've seen Peoples Lives 'Ruined' because of what a 'So Called' Believer on a very well known TV Church Ministry 'Taught & Preached'. 

I've seen quite a few Churches that 'Used' to be 'Powerful Churches' for God's Wonderful Way, that have now  been 'Totally Corrupted' by people 'Pretending' to be Believers, and have 'Taken Over' the Churches and turned them into Just Another 'Fake' worldly Establishment.

I've even seen Many Vicars & Pastors who I've either known personally or known from a distance, who are Intelligent & Faithful people, yet they've been 'Corrupted' by the 'devils deceivers' Pretending to be Believers and 'Misleading' them with 'Lies & Manipulation'. 

They do it by using 'Partial Truths' that make it 'Seem' to be God's Way.

Those Vicars & Pastors who are Deceived then Unintentionally 'Preach' the Lies to other People, including worldwide Ministries. 
Which is one of the ways of how the devil is 'Destroying Many Churches'. 

I've spoken to people in their 70's & 80's who have spent their Entire Lives 'Confused' about how to Follow God's Way, because they've been 'Misled' by many people over the years who 'Pretend' to be Believers and have 'Taught' them Wrongly about God.

It's Not a new thing. It's been happening for a Long, Long time.

But God has 'Lovingly Guided' us All Many times in the Bible that people Will try to 'Deceive' You with 'False Teachings about the 'Truth'. 

God has 'Pre Warned' us about the devils 'evil Tactics'. 

God Knows Everything. And He has not just left us to fend for ourselves.
He wants to Help & Protect us All (that includes You). 
So He has Wrote it in 'His Word' that people Will try to 'Deceive' You, and they will be in the Disguise of Believes.

But Many people 'Ignore' God's Warnings.

And they 'Allow' themselves to be 'Led Astray'. 

People become 'Arrogant', and they let their 'Guard Down' to the devil.

But the Bible Guides us to 'Be On Guard', because the devil Prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

 The Bible also Guides us to:
Take up the 'Shield of Faith', so You can Extinguish All the flaming arrows of the evil one . . . and the 'Sword of the Spirit', which is the 'Word of God'. 

And that Does work when You Understand the 'True Meaning' of God's Word.

But the devil also knows what's wrote in God's Word, and he uses 'his followers' in the Disguise of Believers to 'Distort & Twist' God's Word to 'Mislead' people about the 'True Meaning' of God's Word.

The deceivers then use the 'Distorted' word to 'Trick' people about how God Created them to 'Be', and they get 'Led Astray' from God.

More and more people are 'Straying' Further and Further Away from God, whilst Believing that they're Following God's Way.

And that's Exactly what the devil wants.

These are just a few of  the reasons of What Causes People to Stray from God's Way. There are Many more.

But they are All based around Lies, Deception, Manipulation and the devils Trickery to get People to put their 'Trust' in People instead of God.

So, what's the Solution ?

How can You know what is the Truth, and what is Lies ?

The Solution is 'Not' found in Family, Friends, Education, Work, social media or any other worldly things. And unfortunately it can't be Reliably found in many Churches & Ministries.

There's 'Only One Way'. 

To 'Know' the Truth, You need to know the 'Truth'. 

Jesus is the 'Way', the 'Truth' and the 'Life'. 
(John 14:6)

 When You form a 'Personal' Relationship with Jesus, You will know 
the 'Truth', because He is the 'Truth'. 
He will show You God's Way, because He is the 'Way'. 
Jesus will Guide You how to Live 'Your Life', because He is the 'Life'. 

God says in (Jeremiah 32:38-39), 
“They shall be My people, and I will be their God,
then I will give them One Heart and One Way”. 

There Truly is 'Only One Way' ~ Jesus Christ.

But it needs to be a 
'Close Personal 'One on One' Direct Relationship with Jesus'. 

If You try to Connect With Jesus through other people, it won't work.
That would be like wanting to be Married to someone, but you communicate with them through other people. 
That would obviously not be a 'Personal' Relationship.

Jesus said, “I am With You Always” 
(Matthew 28:20). 

No matter how far You might have Strayed from God, if You are Truly Sorry, and are Sincerely Willing to Follow God's Way from 'Now On', then Jesus is Always Willing to 'Welcome' You back with Loving Arms.

Then You will be Living God's Word which says in (1 Peter 2:25),
“You were like sheep going Astray,
but have Now Returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of Your Souls”.

When You form a 
Close Personal 'One on One' Direct Relationship With Jesus,
You will know the Truth of How to Live Your Life in God's Way.

Because Jesus is
'the Way, the Truth and the Life'.

Being God’s Creation.

~ Being God's Creation  ~
People can Learn at Lot of Inspiring & Helpful things from Trees if they simply take the time to Observe them from God's perspective of how God Created them to 'Be'. 

Many people have known for a Long time now that Trees Do Communicate with Each Other.

They're Not just pieces of wood like many ignorant worldly people assume.
They are Living, Breathing Beings that God Created.

Even Many worldly scientist now recognise through Detailed Studies that Trees Do Communicate with Each Other.

Its obviously not in the same way as how people communicate. They don't Verbally Speak to Each Other.
They Communicate by sending Signals through their Complex Root Systems, and by sending out Compounds (a type of Natural gas) that the Other Trees can detect in the Air. 

Depending on what type of Communication they are sending will determine what type of Compound they send or what type of Signal they send through their Roots.

Trees don't have Emotions in the Same way as what people do, but Trees Do have some form of Emotional State.

When Trees are in a Peaceful State they Release Compounds into the Air so that Other Trees know that 'All Is Good' and they are Peaceful. The other Trees Respond to this by also sending out similar Compounds.

Detailed Studies have shown for Many years now that this is a Big part of the reason why people find Forest a Very Peaceful Place to be. 
There is a 'Harmony' between the Trees that is given off into the Surrounding Air, and people can sense this as being 'Peaceful'.

Trees are sometimes Attacked by things like Aphids (tiny insects) that drink the sap of Leaves/Pine Needles and can cause a Lot of Damage, sometimes even Destruction of Trees.
Termites also can cause a Lot of Damage to Trees by Getting 'Inside' the Tree and Literally Destroying the Tree from the 'Inside'. 

When an Individual Tree realises that it's being Attacked, it sends out 'Warning' Signals through it's Roots and Compounds into the Air to 'Warn' Other Trees to 'Be On Guard' because there is a Threat. 

Trees literally Help Each Other in times of Trouble, and Rejoice with Each Other in time of Peace.

I'm fascinated by Trees because there is always something Amazing that I can Learn about how God Created Life to Be.

One of these Inspirations was Many years ago whilst walking around a Peaceful Forest. 

I noticed Tall Trees that were 'Well Established' and had probably been there for Hundreds of years.

Next to them were 'Younger Trees', and they were Happily Growing with the 'Well Established Trees'.         

There were Many 'Different Varieties' of Trees including Pines, Beech, Spruces, Larch, Yew Trees & many others, all Growing Happily & Peacefully Together.

Every Tree was Different in it's own Unique way, yet they were all Growing Together to Create a 'Beautiful and Peaceful' environment.

There was No arguments between the Trees about who's been there longer.
There was No jealousy between Trees wanting to 'Be Like' other Trees.
The Trees were Not fighting over who's got the 'Best Position' in the forest. There was No stealing each others Nutrients from the soil.
Trees certainly Don't do 'Childish' name calling.
And there was No lies & manipulation by any of the Trees.

All the Trees were living in 'Harmony' with Each Other. 

Just How God Created them to 'Be'.

Every Individual Tree was simply 'Being' what God Created it to 'Be'. 

And because of that, the Forest became a Beautiful, Peaceful and Very Inspiring 'Place to Be'. 

People Truly can 'Learn' a Lot from Trees.

The Trees were living Happily and Peacefully Together, in Harmony.

And that's how God Created 'People' to Live. 

If we all just 'Be' who God Created us to 'Be', then we can all Live in Peace and Harmony with Each Other. 

God Created us All to 'Be' in the 'Image of God'.

There's no Greater Harmony than that.

When we put our Faith in God (and Only God) we can all be like a Beautiful Forest, Growing Happily & Peacefully Together.         

'With God' we Can Create a Peaceful & Inspiring Place to Live where we All 
Live in Harmony.

But it Needs to be 'With God', in 'God's Way', because God Created Life. 

Many people are being Misled about 'How To Life Their Life'. 

'Worldly people' are Manipulating people with Lies & Deception to take them 'Away' from Their Own Creator God.

And what makes things worse is that Many of the 'devils' followers are now Pretending to Be Believers on Many of the TV and Youtube Ministries.
They are Tricking people with False Ways to 'Worship' God, that have Not come from God or Jesus. It's just Made Up by 'worldly people' to Trick Believers  into 'Looking and Being' More Like worldly people'. 

The devil is also using 'So Called' families to Trick people with things like Genealogy, Family Name, Stupid sayings like 'blood is thicker than water', and Many other Deceptive Lies to Trick people into Believing they Have to 'Do' certain things and 'Be' a certain Way (because their 'family said so). 
But if it goes Against the Truth and Will of God, then it's Wrong. 

You 'DO NOT' have to 'Be' Who they Tell You to 'Be'.

God has Given You 'Freedom of Choice'.

If people have called You 'Childish & Nasty Names',
then You are NOT Who 'They' Say You Are. 

The Truth is You are Made in the 'Image of God'.

And God is the most Wonderful, Unique, Creative, Individual,
Loving, Kind & Caring being that has ever Existed.

You are Made in that Image.
That's 'Who You Are'.

When we all Simply Live our Lives How God Created us to Live,
and we All Simply 'Be' Who God Created us to 'Be',
then there Will be a Wonderful 'Peace & Harmony' on Earth.

The Bible makes it Clear that it 'Will' Happen at some point.

Be Part of it by 'Being' God's Creation.

Just Be You. 

~ Inspiring ~
~ Encouraging ~
~ Loving ~
~ Just Be You  ~
God Created Every human being to be Unique & Individual. 

Even identical twins are slightly different from each other.   

If God wanted us all to be the same, He would have Created us to be robots. 
But He Didn't.

He made us All Unique.

When God Created You, He gave 'You' Your Own Individual Voice, Your Own Appearance, and Your Own Unique Character.

If You Copy how 'Other People' Speak, Look and Act, then You will lose 
'Your Own' sense of Identity.

Before I Started Living my Life on this Wonderful 'Journey with Jesus', I 
'Very Wrongly' used to 'Copy' other peoples Behaviours & Lifestyles.

When I was with certain people, I would Act like them, and then when I was with someone else, I would Act like them instead.

I 'Wrongly' Changed 'Who I Was Being' depending on Who I was with.

At that time, I genuinely Believed that's How we're all Supposed to Live. 

I had been Taught that 'Wrong Way of Living' by Wrong People, who at that time I Thought we're decent people, so I Believed them.

But I was 'Very Wrong' to Believe them.

It was Lies & Manipulation. 

It was 'the devils' Trickery to try to prevent me from 'Being Who God Created me to Be'.  And it led me into making many Mistakes in my Life.

The Truth is, God Created me to 'Be the Same Person' no matter who I'm with. 

And God Created ' You' to 'Be the Same Person' no matter who You are with.
Just Be You.

 I'm 'Very Grateful' that God Guided me Many years ago to 'Get Rid' of Wrong people 'Out of my Life', and to 'Stop Copying' other people.

I Humbly Admitted that I was Totally Wrong for 'Copying' other people.

That Humble Attitude of 'Admitting' my Wrong Doing and 'Stopping' Doing it, gave me True Freedom and Peace in my Life.

I Learned that Stubbornness 'Traps' You, but Humility 'Sets You Free'.      

So Be True to Who God Created ' You' to Be ~ You.

God did Not make a 'Copy' of someone else when He Created You.
He Created You as You.
So be Respectful to God, and Don't 'Copy' someone else with how ' You' Live Your Life.

God Created You as a Very Special and Unique Person.
Be That Person.

The Only True Way to Know 'Who God Created You to Be', is to have a Direct Personal 'One on One' Relationship with Jesus. He Will Guide You.

'Worldly people' will try to get You to 'Copy' them, or to 'Copy' others.
Please 'Be Aware' and take it Seriously that Many of the 'devils followers' are now Hiding in the Disguise of Believers, and they will try to 'Trick' You with 'Partial' Truths mixed with Lies so You'll 'Copy' their Wrong ways of Living.

The following sentence came to me in a Very Powerful Way,
and I Truly Believe it is 'God's Loving Guidance' to You.

“Don't 'Copy' Anyone,  
because You might be Unknowingly 'Copying'
one of the devils followers”.  

Simply Be Who God Created You to Be,
And You'll Be Happy & Free.

God Is Trustworthy. 

~ Inspiring ~
~ Encouraging ~
~ Loving ~
~ God Is Trustworthy  ~
God is the Most Trustworthy being that has Ever existed.

  You are in 'Good & Safe' Hands when you put Your 'Trust' in God.

   Everything that God has Ever said that He will 'Do', He has either already 'Done It' or He is in the process of 'Doing It'.

   God said “Let There Be Light”, and 'He Did It', there was Light, (Genesis 1:3). 
And the Light is Still Present. 

 If God says He will 'Do' Something for You, You can Be Sure He Will 'Do It'.

   When Jesus came to Live on earth, He Lived as a True Representation of God's Trustworthiness. 
Everything that Jesus said He would 'Do', He 'Did It'.
   The Bible gives Lots a Good examples of this. 

   The Most Important and Amazing Truth that Jesus said He will 'Do' was to 'Rise Again' after three days.
  When He was crucified on the Cross, many people Questioned His Trustworthiness and thought He was just another fake.

   But Jesus was 'True to His Word' ~ 'He Rose Again'.

   Nothing will Ever stop God from Being Trustworthy ~ 'Nothing'.

Don't make the Mistake of Comparing 'God' with 'people'.

Yes there are Many 'people' who are Not Trustworthy, 
but God Is 'Not' those 'people'.

God is God. 

You can Trust God with Everything.

Is it a Want or a Need. 

~ Inspiring ~
~ Encouraging ~
~ Loving ~
~ Is it a Want or a Need  ~
There's a saying "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.”
But that's a Silly saying because it's Not Greener.
Most of the time it's Full of Mud. It just 'Looks' Greener from where you are.

Some people always 'Think' they 'Want' Something Else.

Why do some people think this way ?
Why are some people never satisfied with what they've got ?

Well you need to understand what it is that's making you 'Want' the thing in the first place. 

~ Could it be 'jealousy' that someone else has got something and they seem happier than you do, so you think you 'Need' to get what they've got. 
~ Could it be 'Tricks & Deception' of TV adverts, or something on Social Media that is making you 'think' it will bring you happiness or pleasure. 
~ Or maybe someone has said you can't have something and you have formed a Childish and Stubborn Attitude of “Why can't I have it, I Want it”.
Is it that you genuinely want the 'thing' or is it the fact that you can't have it that makes you want it so much.
~ Or could it be you are simply following 'worldly ways'.

Some people make up Excuses and say they 'Need' the 'thing', when actually they just 'Want' it.

Many people get their 'Wants' and 'Needs' mixed up.

It's the Deception of the devil. 

God created us all to have very Basic 'Needs'. 
We 'Need' ~ Food, Water and Air to Breath. Everything else is a Luxury. 
Most of the food & drinks we consume are actually Luxuries and not 'Needs'.

God is Very Loving, He will Bless you with All of your Needs, whatever they are.
And He will very often Bless you with More than your Needs.

 The Bible says God provides 'All Your Needs'. 

He also Blesses you with many Luxuries. But most people don't recognise these 'things' as Luxuries and get them confused with 'Needs'.

If you struggle with 'Wants', could it be that you don't fully Appreciate God's Blessings in your life, so you think you 'Want' something else.

The problem with this kind of thinking is that even if you get what is on the 'Other side of the fence', you then spot another Fence (another Want), and you then 'Want' that instead of what you've just climbed the Fence to get. 

It's a never ending cycle of Climbing Fences to Get what you 'Want'. 
It's the devils way to keep you Trapped, and keep you Away from God.

This often leads to you missing out on the True Blessings of what you already have in your life. 

But when you Appreciate what you have got, (no matter what it is) you will become much Happier than always wanting something else. 
If you take an Honest and Mature look at your life, you will realise just how many Wonderful things you can be Grateful for.

Another reason why some people always Want something else is because they haven't accepted Gods Love for them. They try to substitute God for 'things'. But you can't substitute God ~ He's One of a kind ~

God Loves You and He will Provide You with 'All Your Needs'. 
He Will also give you many Blessings.

All you Need to do is Accept them and Appreciate them.

Then even if you don't get what you 'Want', you'll be
Happy Anyway, because you've got something Much Better,

The Love of God.

Resilient as Grass. 

~ Inspiring ~
~ Encouraging ~
~ Loving ~
This is a writing I wrote in 2024. 
I felt God Guiding me to put it on again for this weeks writing as somebody needs it.
~ Resilient as Grass  ~
Grass was one of the first living things that God Created (Genesis 1:11).
It's been around since the beginning of Creation.

Grass is a Very Important part of God's 'Overall Plan' for His Creation.
~ It provides a Covering for the earth's top layer and helps prevent the soil from drying out.
~ It provides Food for many animals.
~ Grass is a Home for billions of important insects.
~ It provides Protection for many ground nesting birds.
~ Grass covers vast areas of the world we live in and it has Many very Important Qualities.

Yet even though it's Extremely Important, people treat Grass like dirt.

Every time the Grass tries to Grow (like God Created it to), people cut in down with lawn mowers, just because they want a Manicured lawn.

People trample all over it without giving a thought to the damage being done to God's Wonderful Creation.

People pollute it with chemicals and other junk, just because they 'Think' it should 'Look' and 'Be' a certain way.

People treat Grass very badly without 'Thinking' about what God Originally Created Grass to 'Be' and its 'Purpose'. 

Yet even though Grass is treated badly, walked all over and cut down, the Grass just 'Keeps On Growing'.

God Created Grass to be 'Very Resilient' and to 'Never Give Up'.

Grass simply Does what God Created it to 'Do', no matter what people 'Do' to it.

You too are one of God's Wonderful Creations.
If people have treated you like dirt, then be as 'Resilient as Grass'.

Checking for God’s Mail.

~ Checking for God's Mail  ~
In a world of Digital Communication, 'Email' has become one of the Main ways that people Communicate with each other.

People that use email Check their 'Inbox' Regularly to see if they have any 'Important Messages'. 

Some people even Check their emails as one of the First things they 'Do' Everyday, (which is Not a good thing to Do, as it Sets You Up for the Day with a Mind Full of 'Stuff', that Distracts You from Your Loving God).

A far more 'Important' thing to Check, is for the 'Messages' that God Sends to 'Your Mind' Everyday.

God Does 'Send' You Messages Everyday.
If You don't Receive them it could be because You're too Focused on 'Other Things', instead of Checking what 'Messages' God is 'Sending' You.

You need to Regularly 'Log In' through Prayer and Open the 'Inbox' of 'Your Mind' to God, and Only God, to Receive the 'Messages' that God Sends You. 

If you don't 'Check' for God's Mail then you could easily Miss the 'Important' information that God is trying to Communicate to You.

When you have Received Your Messages from God, you can then 'Reply' to God through Prayer, and by Joyfully 'Doing' what God Guides You.

Sometimes it's good to 'Forward' the Message from God to others through Your 'Words & Actions', and Share the Blessing that God has Given You.

God's Mail is a Lot more Important & more Interesting than emails.

Make it one of Your Daily Do's
to Regularly Check the Inbox of Your Mind for 'God's Mail'.

Horses are Horses.

~ Horses are Horses  ~
I was reading the Book of Zechariah in the Bible, and when I read Chapter 6 there was a part that Really Stood Out to me.

When I got to the end of the Chapter I felt God Guiding me to Re-Read the part that Stood Out.

It was Verses 1-3, and this is what Stood Out to me,

“Behold, four chariots were coming from between two mountains, 
and the mountains were mountains of bronze. 
With the first chariot were red horses,
with the second chariot black horses,
with the third chariot white horses,
and with the fourth chariot dappled horses”. 

I asked God to Guide me if there was something He wanted me to Learn Personally, or if it was something He wants me to Do for Him.

I felt that God wanted me to write something about it, and I ask Him to Guide me.

This is what came to me,

“Call a Horse a Horse, and a Person a Person”. 

I knew what God was Guiding me to write about.

It doesn't matter whether a Horse is Black, White, Red (which I think is referring to a Reddish Brown Colour like a Red Squirrel), or Dappled (which can be a Mixture of Colours), no matter what Colour a Horse is, people Simply call it a Horse.

I felt God Guide me Very Powerfully that it should be the same with 'People'. 

No matter what Colour a Person is, a Person should Simply be Called a Person.

“Call a Horse a Horse, and a Person a Person”. 

Throughout my life, I've known Many different People of All skin Colours, (either Personally known them or known about them). 

I Learned Many years ago that there are Many Truly 'Loving & Caring' People who Do Wonderful things for God, and it Doesn't matter what their skin Colour is.

They are Wonderful People because of 'Who They Are', and Not because of the Colour of their skin.

I also Learned that there are Many 'evil and nasty' people who Do wicked things, and it Doesn't matter what Colour their skin is.

They are evil based on 'Who They Are', and Not what Colour their skin is.


God Doesn't look at the Colour of a Person.
He looks at 'Who' the Person is, and 'How' they Live their Life. 

When Jesus died on the Cross to 'Save People' from their sins, He was Not 'Selective' about skin Colour.
He 'Did It' for Everyone who is Willing to Believe in Him and Follow God's Way to Live.

The Holy Spirit 'Connects with People' through their Spirit, so skin Colour makes No difference to the Holy Spirit.

People have 'Over Analysed' skin Colour. 

But to God,we are All 'Simply People'. 

“Call a Horse a Horse, and a Person a Person”. 

Horses Live 'Happily Together', no matter what Colour they are, because that's how God 'Created' them to Live.

God also 'Created' People to Live 'Happily Together', no matter what Colour they are.

If Hoses can 'Do It', then People can Certainly 'Do It'. 

God keeps things Simple.
It's the devil that Dramatises and Complicates things.

Follow God's Way.
Look at People for 'Who They Are' and 'How' They Live Their Lives. 

“Call a Horse a Horse, and a Person a Person”.

The Right Response to God. 

~ Inspiring ~

~ The Right Response to God ~

When God 'Communicates 'With You', there's a 'Right Way' and a 'wrong way' to Respond to Him.

When the Angel of the Lord visited Zacharias and told him his Prayer had been Heard, and that his Wife Elizabeth will have a son, Zacharias 'Responded' in the 'wrong way'. 
He 'Doubted' what the Angel told him.

When the same Angel Gabriel visited Mary and told her that Elizabeth has conceived even though she was barren, Mary 'Simply Believed'. 

The 'Same Guidance' from the Angel, but two Different 'Responses'. 

The Angel told Mary that she will also conceive and have a Son.

Mary said, 
“How will this be, since I am a virgin and have No intimacy with any man”. 

If you read that at 'Face Value', it might Seem that Mary was also 'Doubting' what the Angel told her.

But when You look at the 'True Meaning', and the Overall Situation, it's clear that it's a Very Different 'Response'. 

Zacharias & Elizabeth were already Married. They had been trying for Elizabeth to become pregnant for a Long time, and they had been Praying for God to Help them.

Whereas Mary & Joseph were Not Married at that point. They would Not have been Praying for a baby because they had Not even been intimate, and would of had No intention of being intimate until after they were Married.

So when the Angel told Mary she will conceive, then it was a valid Question to Ask, “How will this be”.


Mary was clearly 'Asking the Angel a Question' with the 'Willingness' to 'Believe' whatever he told her.

This is clear from the 'Response' she gave when the Angel told her that she will 'Conceive by the Power of the Holy Spirit', and that 'The Baby will be the 
Son of God'. 

Mary showed 'The Right Way to Respond to God' when she said,
“Let it be to me as You said”. 

That's 'True Faith In God'. 

She Didn't 'Keep Asking Questions'. 

She 'Simply Believed' what the Angel told her.

She would have known that Other People would probably not Believe her about How she got pregnant, but she wasn't bothered about Other Peoples Opinions. 
Mary put her 'Faith In God', and 'Only God'.

Joseph also showed 'The Right Way to Respond to God'. 

The Angel of the Lord visited him many times in Dreams, and 'Everything' the Angel told Joseph, he 'Simply Believed'. 

He Didn't even Ask the Angel any questions.

He Simply 'Did' whatever the Angel Guided him to 'Do'. 

When the Angel said,
“Do not be afraid to take Mary as your Wife”, 
he 'Simply Believed' and Married Mary.

Even though Mary was pregnant and he knew that he had Not been intimate with her, Joseph 'Simply Believed'  the Angel that the Baby was conceived by the Holy Spirit.

That's 'Amazing Faith in God'. 


 When the Angel 'Warned' Joseph that Herod's army was looking for Baby Jesus to kill Him, and he Guided Joseph to 'Flee to Egypt', Joseph 'Immediately' got up and took Mary & Baby Jesus to Egypt, even though he had only just woke up and it was at Night when they needed to set off.

Joseph Didn't 'Put Things Off' until later, or 'Wait to See How Things Go'. 

He knew 'The Right Way to Respond to God' is with 'Immediate Action'. 

The Shepherds also knew the Importance of 'Responding Immediately' when God Communicates to You.

When the Angel visited the Shepherds and told them that 'The Saviour' had been Born, they 'Immediately' went 'Looking for Him'. 

They Didn't Complain saying they were 'Too Busy' looking after their Sheep.
They Didn't look at the negatives and say, 'How are we going to find Him, we don't know where He is'. 

Instead they showed 'The Right Response to God'. 

They 'Simply Believed' what the Angel had told them, and they 'Decided' themselves to 'Go' to Look for Him.

The Angel didn't actually tell them to Look for Jesus. 
They 'Decided' to 'Do' that themselves.

They didn't want to Miss 'The Opportunity of a Lifetime' to 'Meet The Saviour'. 

That's 'Intelligent Faith'. 

The Wise Men also showed 'The Right Response to God'. 

They first 'Followed His Star', even though they didn't know where it would take them.

That itself shows a Lot of 'Faith In Action'. 

 After they had 'Met Jesus', they were Divinely Warned Not to return to Herod.

The Wise men 'Simply Believed' the 'Warning', and Decided Not to return to Herod, but to travel back to their own Country another way.

They would have known the 'Dangers & Risks' involved in Not returning to Herod as he had a Reputation for being Very evil & brutal.

Yet they 'Simply Did' what God Guided them to 'Do'. 

That shows the 'Power' of 'True Faith' in 'Only God', and 'Not In People'. 

Mary & Joseph, The Shepherds, and The Wise Men all showed us 
'The Right Way to Respond to God'. 

They 'Simply Believed Him'. 

They Didn't Doubt Him.

They Didn't Ask 'Other Peoples' Opinions about what God had told them.

They Didn't Complain.

They Didn't Look at the 'negatives', or the 'Risks'. 

Instead they put God's Guidance 'Into Action Immediately'. 

They were Willing to 'Believe Whatever God Guided them', 
even if it 'Seemed' impossible. 
Because they all 'Knew & Believed' in their Hearts that 
'With God, Nothing will be impossible'. 

They All 'Decided' to Believe God, and put their 'Faith Into Action'.

And they All Did it 'With God'. 

That's  'The Right Response to God'.

Believe God’s Answers to Prayers. 

~ Inspiring ~

~ Believe God's Answers to Prayers ~
Many people say they Pray but God doesn't Answer their Prayers.

The Truth is, God Does Answer Prayers, but many people 'Question' God's Answers, instead of Simply Believing.

The Bible says in the beginning of Luke that Zacharias was in the Temple of the Lord when an Angel of the Lord appeared to him and said,
“Do not be afraid Zacharias, your Prayer is Heard,
and your Wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call 
his name John. And you will have Joy and Gladness.”

The Angel continued to explain that John will be Great in the sight of the Lord, and will be Filled with the Holy Spirit.
And that he will turn many people to the Lord God, and will make people Ready and Prepared for the Lord.

~ That sounds to me like 'God's Answer to Prayers' ~

But Zacharias said to the Angel,
“How shall I know this” ? 

He 'Questioned' what the Angel had told him.

I've read this part of the Bible many times, but when I was reading it over the Christmas time, something Really Stood Out to me.

Zacharias asked, “How shall I know this” ? 

~ An Angel of the Lord had just told him, that's 'How' he knows ~

The Angel clearly recognised he did not Believe him because he then said, 
“I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, 
and was sent to speak to you and bring you these Glad Tidings. 
But behold, you will not able to speak until the day these things take place, 
because you Did Not Believe My Words”.

That's the same as what many people do.

God Answers their Prayers, but they 'Question' God's Answer.

God will Answer Prayers in Many 'Different Ways'. 
It might not be an Angel of the Lord in the Temple of the Lord that Answers 'Your Prayer', but However God Answers, Simply Believe Him.

Don't 'Question' God's Answers.

There's a Big Difference between 'Asking God a Question', and 'Questioning' 
an Answer that God has given You.

To 'Ask God a Question' means You are Willing to 'Listen' to the Answer and Believe Him.

To 'Question' His Answer means You are 'Doubting' what God has told You.

And You should 'Never' Doubt God.

'Doubt the devil, but Don't Doubt God'. 

Zacharias gave his 'Reasons' for his Doubts, 
'he was an old man, and his Wife was well advanced in years'. 

But just because he had his 'Reasons', that doesn't mean that he should 'Doubt' what the Angel told him.

Yes they were both old, and he would have also known that she was barren, but as the Bible says later in (Luke 1:37),
“With God, Nothing will be impossible”. 

When God 'Answers Your Prayers', You can be Certain that Whatever He tells You, it's 'True'. 

But here's the Key Words that most people miss ~ 'With God'. 

 The Bible says 'With God' Nothing will be impossible.

It Doesn't say, 'With people'. 

It Only works when it's 'With God'. 

The Bible Doesn't say 'With God and 'With people'. 

It Only says 'With God'. 

Many people, even 'True Believers' are Not receiving 'God's Answers to Prayers, because they are trying to Live their Lives 'the worlds way', as well as 
'God's Way', and those two Ways Don't Mix.

When You get 'the worlds way' Out of Your Life 'Completely', then You will be able to Receive 'God's Answers to Prayers' with a Clearer Understanding, because there will be No Distractions.

When the Bible says, 'With God Nothing will be impossible', it doesn't mean that God will 'Do' Everything for You.

It means 'You' Doing 'Your Part' With God.

You and God Together, that's where the Power is.

There are Many people who have Achieved Truly Amazing things because they have Done it 'With God'. 

God Created 'You' to Be an Achiever.

Be Who God Created You To Be.

No matter who You are, or where You are from, You can Achieve Great things when You Do it 'With God'. 

Who You Believe, determines What You will Achieve'.    

If You Believe 'the world', there'll be Big Limitations to what You can Achieve.

But when You 'Only' Believe God, then Nothing will be impossible.

So whatever Answers God Gives You, Simply Believe Him.
Don't 'Question' God's Answers.

Zacharias 'Questioned' what the Angel of the Lord told him, and he faced the consequences, he couldn't speak until John was born.

If You 'Doubt' God's Answers, You will have to face consequences in one way or another.

It's Pointless Doubting what God tells You, because “It's impossible for God to lie”, (Hebrews 6:18). So whatever Answers God Gives You, they are 'True'. 

You don't need all the Technicalities, You Simply need to 'Believe'.

The Bible describes Zacharias & Elizabeth as “Both Righteous before God, walking in All the commandments and ordinances of the Lord”, it even says they were “Blameless”. 
Yet Zacharias still 'Questioned' what the Angel told him. 

I don't believe this is wrote in the Bible to make Zacharias seem bad,
because he Clearly was Not bad in any way.

I believe it's wrote as a 'Loving Warning' from God to 'Everybody',
that no matter how Righteous You are,
no matter how high up in the Church You are,
no matter what Great things You have Achieved for God,
and even if You Follow All of God's commandments and are Blameless,

You should Never 'Question' what God tells You.

Simply Believe God, because He's God.
