Don't Blame the Delivery!
Exactly, it is not the delivery of the messenger, but it is the heart of the hearer.
Confess to Move Forward
Those who cannot admit their sin to be cleansed as God said in 1 John 1:9, cannot grow in holiness, nor can they move forward in improved behavior. They can give a good show for a time, but they cannot remain in the new state because it is superficial, outward and fragile. Only that which God changes in us through His response to our confession, can we progress Spiritually, anything else is regression.
1 John 1:9
"9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
Pretending things are over, hoping to come back as though nothing happened, only better this time, does not grow the person who attempts this. Eventually the unchanged person on the inside will emerge and resume their old ways or they will regress never to be able to be different from the real self that hides inside.
Acts 7:51"51 You stiff-necked people with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit, just as your fathers did. "
Psalm 95:8-11
Do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the wilderness, "When your fathers tested Me, They tried Me, though they had seen My work. "For forty years I loathed that generation, And said they are a people who err in their heart, And they do not know My ways. read more.
"Therefore I swore in My anger, Truly they shall not enter into My rest."
When pride cannot be overcome with confession, then we can expect regression in our walk with Christ as well as our actions and words. All human relationships deteriorate and dissolve until there is repentance, confession and a desire for Christ to make us what we should be.
No one can enter God's rest while in a state of rebellion and pride.
How do we begin again with God or begin for the first time, it's simple, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, then ask Him to change us into a new creation.
If we are already born again and are resistant to His promptings, then the Holy Spirit will stop speaking to us and He will begin removing blessings, even wisdom if we persist.
1 Thessalonians 5:19 "…18 Give thanks in every circumstance, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 19 Do not extinguish the Spirit. 20 Do not treat prophecies with contempt,…
If the Holy Spirit has stopped speaking to you, if you sense a distance from the Lord, it is possible that there is sin in your life that you are refusing to confess.

Dismissing Someone Destroys Relationships
"When a person tells you that you hurt them, you don't get to decide that you didn't." -Louis C.K.
God is also Just!
God is also a just God. There could be no love without justice.
Psalm 7:11 "…10 My shield is with God, Who saves the upright in heart. 11 God is a righteous judge, And a God who has indignation every day. 12 If a man does not repent, He will sharpen His sword; He has bent His bow and made it ready.…"

Wicked Men Do Not Learn
This is so aggravating, it reminds me of the people who see a conflict between two people and assume both are not trying hard enough. When one person is evil and refuses to care about the other, then it is impossible to deal with the wicked.
Isaiah 26:10 "10 Though the wicked is shown favor, He does not learn righteousness; He deals unjustly in the land of uprightness, And does not perceive the majesty of the LORD. "
Isaiah 26:10 "10 Though the wicked is shown favor, He does not learn righteousness; He deals unjustly in the land of uprightness, And does not perceive the majesty of the LORD. "
The Lie of the Nephelim Demons
Nephelim were a race of human beings not a mix of spiritual and human. They were giants, but human giants with only human DNA.
Spiritual beings have no equipment to impregnate a human woman. God says that when we die we will be more like the angels, who have no gender.
They have no seed since they do not procreate themselves. The only way a fallen angel could have relations with a human woman is if the demon possesses a human man and it would not be an angel seed but the seed of a man. Different species of beings cannot pro-create with another species.
Genesis 1:24-25 "24 Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind"; and it was so. 25 God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good.…"
No where in the Bible are demons, fallen angels, referred to as "sons of God."
This monstrous lie about "Nephelim" being half human and half demon is causing division and leading to dangerous false doctrine. Please pray about it and reject that which is a deception.

Playing the Game or Born Again, Which is It?
When we were growing up, there was prayer in school, many people went to church, perhaps for the wrong reasons often, but they admired and loved the people of God and His ways.
It was a different time, a time long gone away and I am convinced never to return, or if it does it will be brief just like the surge of people into churches after 9-11, after which only a few weeks and everything went back to it had been before.
Too often people run to God for safety, while wanting nothing of Him, except what they can get for themselves, only the safety until they don't need Him anymore, then they return to their vomit as though they never needed Him and as though He never did anything for them.
They do not consider Him in their decisions, they don't thank Him even for their meals each day, they merely use Him when they have no place else to go.
Isaiah 1:14-15 "14"I hate your new moon festivals and your appointed feasts, They have become a burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them. 15 "So when you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you; Yes, even though you multiply prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are covered with blood. 16"Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Remove the evil of your deeds from My sight. Cease to do evil,"
