Those Who Will Not Obey the Voice of God

There are criminals in the world today who will not obey the voice of God. There are police officers in the world today who will not obey the voice of God. There are irrational people who cannot evaluate things in righteousness because they do not obey the voice of God. There are rioters in the world today who will not obey the voice of God. This is the state of our world right now.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 3 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times (ragingly insane times) will come.
2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 holding to a form of [b]godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these."


What is the solution to this mess? It's quite simple everyone who walks in rebellion against God must repent and obey the voice of God.

How do we know the voice of God? God has shown us His heart in the Bible, all we have to do is read it and ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten it so we interpret it correctly.

In order to hear from God, one has to be born again. That means that one has to admit they are sinful and incapable of changing their own heart. When someone confesses this to God and desires to be changed into a new person by Him, He will change them.

Those who have been changed by Christ will never again think the same way they did before. Their spirit has been replaced with the Spirit of Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:17 "…16 So from now on we regard no one according to the flesh. Although we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:……"

If you wish to learn how to think rationally with the mind of Christ this is the way to accomplish that, be changed by Christ, not of your own effort but through His work in you.

Ephesians 2:10
"10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."

When a person walks in the power of the Holy Spirit not much that goes on in the world will make sense anymore. There is much evil, much pride, and much resistance to learning properly, that few will be able to think with the mind of Christ. 2 Timothy 3 mentioned above shows us why so much is so very irrational today. The only hope is to be born again, to walk in joy even with all that happens around us, nothing can take away that joy and peace that comes from Christ.
