The biggest misconception in Christianity is seeing Jesus for what we want Him to be and not for who He is. This causes conflict, anger and blame in your relationship with Him.
The word from God today is denigrating the name of Christ. This means to criticize unfairly or disparage. This is a widespread practice in the Body of Christ and is a pathetic response to the greatness and glory of God.
We have tunnel vision about God and at times treat Him like a second class citizen. We do this with our thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Many believers come across as proper, neat and saintly. They hide behind religion and are not in touch with the Living Christ.
We denigrate God because things are not going our way and we need someone to blame.
We believe God is the highest authority in our life but He is failing in His job.
We denigrate Christ by exaggerating His claims and whitewashing His words to satisfy our needs and lifestyle.
We denigrate God by striving through our own efforts and failing to live by faith.
We denigrate God by operating with impure motives. We put self above God.
We denigrate God by attempting to use Him to accomplish our goals.
We denigrate God for testing us through His words and actions. We call Him disingenuous or usually speak much stronger words.
We denigrate God for the seasons of deprivation, pain and suffering. Jesus gives and takes for His purposes. Yours is not to question the ways of God. They are perfect.
Denigrating God will get you nowhere and only dig your hole deeper. You grieve the Holy Spirit and bring curses upon your life.
God can do with a Christ follower as He pleases. Yours is not to complain but to come before Him with praise and thanksgiving believing in His promises.
When I woke up this morning God told me He favors those who feel utterly useless to Him and know they are made with a sordid (or depraved) nature. Jesus has a heart for the downtrodden.
We denigrate Christ because we have a mistaken vision of His purpose for our life. We are to die to self and live for Christ.
Give Jesus permission to do with you regardless of the cost or sacrifice. He wants your obedience to His voice without any argument or need for human logic.
Jesus desires to give you an abundant life but He wants to accomplish this His way. If Jesus were to snap His fingers today and give you prosperity and fame this would probably ruin your life and bring utter destruction upon you.
God has to make us into His people who operate by faith with the values of Christ. We have to be able to greet each day with a desire to do His will above all else. We have to accept the testing and correction without lashing out at God.
The prosperity of God comes to those who are motivated by living in oneness with Jesus and accepting life on God's terms.
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. He is a perfect God in an imperfect world!
