COOLIOZ

This is the first time I've heard the SCDF alarm. Omg mega cool. Mega cool. I was so fascinated that I turned on the radio to hear the SCDF message HAHAHA. It's apparently Civil Defence Day.

Had a little look at Willie's blog and it made me realise something. Why is it that sometimes when we pray and ask for an answer, or for deliverance, or for help, we don't seem to feel God's presence?

Maybe he wants us to make the decision on our own. Sometimes we ask for help from God but deep inside, perhaps we don't really want to be helped, or saved from our sins, because it feels good to sin and we somehow can't really let it go yet. In that way, when we pray for deliverance, we should ask ourselves if we really want to change or not, if we really honestly are ready to change our ways for God.

God wants us to obey His commands, of course; after all, He's the Creator of everything and all we do is cause destruction with every little sin we commit. But at the same time, he gave us a soul and a life for a reason. Knowledge and the ability to reason is a blessing; some say it could be a curse, because we also learn how to sin. But without trials, what's the point in life? God says, "Whoever endures to the end will be saved."

Jesus also said, "I came not to bring peace, but a sword." Of course following and obeying Him is hard.

But what God wants us to do is to follow Him willingly, and purely because we love Him. Asking Him for answers sometimes don't work, because He wants you to ask yourself if you're willing to do/sacrifice for him or not. If you're doing/sacrificing it partly for another reason, it's pointless.

However, we already know His stand on everything. It's all in the Bible. It's just up to us to make the decision to obey it because we love Him and want to be saved or not.
