Stop Blaming others and BELIEVE!

When Adam and Eve fell by disobeying and eating the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, they hid from God. And as God asked Adam if he had eaten from the tree he was NOT commanded too, the blaming and pointing fingers began.

When things do not go our way or if things seem to fall apart, we as humans in our nature are always looking for a scape goat. We begin to blame others with their politics, policy, beliefs, culture, language, choices, physical appearance, or whatever we can get a hold on to hate and blame.

Genesis 3:12-13 And the man said, The woman whom You gave to be with me--she gave me [fruit] from the tree, and I ate.13And the Lord God said to the woman, What is this you have done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled (cheated, outwitted, and deceived) me, and I ate.

In his sin, Adam had the audacity to blame God and then Eve. However, this is very common. We tend to blame God for the bad choices we make. I had heard many say to me that they are not angry with God yet the time they spend with God and the the things they do with God had dramatically decreased and on the flip side, their choices to get back into sin had increased.

When God asked Eve in verse 13, she blamed the serpent. If people lose jobs or if they cannot find a job, what do most people do? They start blaming their governments. They begin to blame their leaders. They may begin to blame their parents. They may begin to blame their education. They may begin to blame the immigrants in their country.

In hell, there are many in there blaming many other people for their reasons for being in hell. They may be blaming their preachers for not properly teaching them. They may be blaming other Christians for not telling them the Truth but were more afraid of offending one another. They may be blaming their parents for not having disciplined them. They may be blaming their friends for being a bad influence on them. However, at the end, there is no one to blame but ourselves for the ultimate choice is still ours.

It really saddens me as I continue to see many Christians ignorantly slandering their secular governmental leaders and spiritual leaders. Are they not attempting to point out a wrong so they can get others to agree and blame someone else?  If a spiritual leader has gone rogue, did God give you the authority to point him/her out and slander them? How can many who have never met those whom they point out determine whether the information one has received on the internet, by hearsay or You tube is accurate when they have never met personally? Will you risk the possibility of usurping God's authority by contributing to the blame or pointing finger game?

Have you not read what had happened during Korah's rebellion? Have we not read about Korah's clan being swallowed up alive into Sheol? Then God sent a plague that killed 14,700 of His own people who had rebelled and the killing stopped because of Moses and Aaron's intercession! Have we not read how David dare not touch King Saul who was God's anointed even though God had rejected King Saul? David had a few chances to kill King Saul and take the throne but David feared God more than desiring power. David continued to respect King Saul as he waited for God.

If you are in a church and a higher revelation is given to you in regards to your preacher or leaders, it is NOT YOUR JOB TO OVERTHROW HIM/HER OR VOTE THEM OUT. How can the congregation remove what God has placed or anointed? If your eyes are opened to their error, instead of blaming, it becomes YOUR JOB TO INTERCEDE ON THEIR BE HALF AND ASK FOR MERCY! However, in many of our churches and even in regards to our governments, many Christians, instead of spending our time interceding, they spend hours gossiping and conspiring in their hearts to spiritually stone and KILL their brethren. Do YOU HAVE THE HEART OF GOD OR DO YOU HAVE THE HEART OF CAIN? You see, Cain did NOT KILL an enemy. He did not kill a stranger! But he did KILLED HIS OWN BROTHER! As God opens our eyes, it then becomes our responsibility to intercede until spiritual order is restored or until God's judgment comes to His House by His means and not by our actions. If you see error and if you think you can do better by overthrowing the leadership, you are but a rebel in God's Kingdom because God's Kingdom operates through Love and not Murder!

Romans 13:2 (AMP)Therefore he who resists and sets himself up against the authorities resists what God has appointed and arranged [in divine order]. And those who resist will bring down judgment upon themselves [receiving the penalty due them].

If we say we are Christians then why are we blaming our governments for the bad things that are happening on our watch? If we say we are Christians then are we not born of God to overcome all things even the world? If we say we are Christians then do we NOT have the Keys to the Kingdom? If we say we are Christians then do we not have the authority and power to trample on snakes and scorpions and over ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY? If we say we are Christians then why are the prayers of most not getting answered when the bible says they will if we ask in HIS NAME!

If we say we are Christians and if we are to be the salt and the light of the world, why are we not able to change the world? IT IS BECAUSE MANY OF US SPEND TOO MUCH TIME BLAMING EVERYONE ELSE AND EVEN BLAMING OUR OWN CIRCUMSTANCES. We have been given POWER and AUTHORITY TO OVERCOME. All we have to do is stop using our energy and mouths to blame others but instead use it to pray. It is through PRAYER we can change the spiritual realm. It is through prayer, we can touch the HEART OF GOD!!!! Many of us will severely answer to the time we have spent wasting when we had the keys to the Kingdom! Even if no one wants to join in the prayer, why must you wait for others. All that is required is ONE RIGHTEOUS man and God will hear. But if two or more will join, imagine the possibilities if we join and agree in Love.

James 5:16 (AMP) Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]

Be wise brethren, many of you are in judgment because many slander and usurp God's authority. Stop looking to overthrow the leadership but instead intercede for restoration of spiritual authority within your churches and within your lives. You may have been placed at some spot to intercede and for support. It is through our love and prayer that will violently and zealously come against the enemy to repossess the land for the Lord.

We will answer for the time we had spent on this earth. We will answer to HIM for what He had given to us for His Kingdom.

Matthew 25:24-30 He who had received one talent also came forward, saying, Master, I knew you to be a harsh and hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you had not winnowed [the grain]. 25So I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is your own.26But his master answered him, You wicked and lazy and idle servant! Did you indeed know that I reap where I have not sowed and gather [grain] where I have not winnowed? 27Then you should have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received what was my own with interest. 28So take the talent away from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents. 29For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will be [f]furnished richly so that he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he does have will be taken away. 30 And throw the good-for-nothing servant into the outer darkness; there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
