Isn't God AMAZING!!!

It is absolutely amazing How God takes the time to create the world all that is in it and then He creates man and woman. He creates them perfect with only one thing in mind, fellowship. God wanted us to love Him and allow Him to provide for us. Simple isn’t it?
So what do we do with Gods glory? We mess it up! God continues to be amazing by picking up the ball and creating a new way for us to connect with Him. Yes, things were no longer easy and perfect, but God was still willing and God wanted us to be willing in return.
Isn’t God AMAZING!!!
But it doesn’t go that way does it? We continue to make excuses for why Gods way just isn’t quite what we fully need. Instead of putting on the newness of Jesus, we take these watered down excuses and dress up our lives with compromise.
But God continues to be amazing. He sends Jesus, His only Son. Commands Him to live in poverty, minister with the bare necessities, live above sin, teach us to be like Him, be tortured, die, go to hell and then rise from the dead. Oh, and by the way, after you get done with all of that I want you to remain on the earth, in a human body and continue to minister for another month and a half.
Isn’t God AMAZING!!!!
So, with His instructions in hand, Jesus leaves heaven and OBEYS God! That’s right. Jesus heard God, understood God and then obeys God. Jesus did not add to His instructions. Jesus did not attempt to change them. Jesus simply obeyed.
After completing His task and returning to Heaven God continues to be amazing. How? God sends us the Holy Spirit. That’s right, the exact same Holy Spirit that lived and moved through Jesus Himself. After all Gods patience, mercy and sacrifice, He sends us POWER to go along with it!
Isn’t God AMAZING!!!!!
So with our new life, new purpose and new power God gives us a simple task. Jesus commands, that’s right, He commands us to be a copy cat.
Isn’t God AMAZING!!!!
God, His Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit have this great throne room in heaven. What does this mean for us? Well, God is AMAZING! After all these things God still adds some bonus features for us. When we need someone to talk to we can enter Gods throne room. If we have worries we can lay them at Jesus feet by entering Gods throne room. Why do we live under the bondage of nervous disorders, eating disorders, depression, drugs, cigarettes, drinking, when we have the throne room of God in which we are told to enter into BODLY as sons and daughters of God Himself?
Isn’t God AMAZING!!!!
So what’s the problem? Why do we so easily choose to be church attending people when we could choose to be on fire, powerhouse Christians? Why do we find it so easy to excuse away the Bible when it conflicts with our desires?
Aren’t we AMAZING!!!!
If Jesus could give up heaven for us why can’t we give up sin for Him? If Jesus gave up a comfortable life on earth, why can’t we give up our comfort to see Gods plans accomplished? Jesus suffered torture and death and yet we whine when God asks us to sacrifice something or give to support His work. Instead of storing up treasure in heaven we occupy our time planning for a future that we may not live to see. We easily give money to help ourselves, plan for retirement or buy that new thing we just have to have. But God forbid that would give so freely in support of Gods work. We drop a $100 for new shoes but cringe if our offering is more than $10 or $20. We see ministries in need but we eat out instead! Necessities are needed to start new churches but that new cell phone is a must.
Aren’t we amazing!!!
We have the Holy Ghost just waiting to do the impossible through us but we find it easier to justify why that kind of thing is for someone else. The signs, wonders and miracles that could change lives go unperformed because in order to get that kind of power and connection with God we would have to stop our known sin.
Aren’t we AMAZING!!!
God is so great and yet we insist on being greater. Instead of seeking out all of God we seek out new ways to conform God to what we want to do for Him. We profess with our words that God reigns while professing with our lives and watered down example that Satan is God of all!! We tie Gods hands with our willful sin and then blame God for not moving on our behalf.
Aren’t we AMAZING!!!
God is calling the church back to HIM. God is calling YOU to step up and be a CHRISTIAN. It’s time to stop hiding in the comfortable and controllable. You cannot have yourself and have God at the same time. You cannot sin willingly and then expect to touch God with dirty hands. You cannot turn a blind eye to what God wants to do in your life. It will cost you your soul. YOUR eternity is in YOUR hands.
Allow God to be AMAZING!!!
YOU have the power to choose. Allow God to be amazing though you. Give up yourself and take on God. Is God calling you into ministry? OBEY! Is God asking you to give up some control and financially give? OBEY God! Instead of looking to others to be used by God choose to open yourself and your life to be used by God.
Choose to allow God to be AMAIZING!!!
