Be blessed
Doing it God's Way
With Reverend Michael
Cartwright
Let's find out what God says about our
character
God hates lies and false accuser's but loves the
truth
"Be more concerned
with your character than with your reputation. Your character is
what you really are while your reputation is merely what others
think you are. - Dale Carnegie
"Jesus was so wonderful and
perfect in every way and yet he was still lied about and
falsely accused by Religious Church leaders and then murdered
by crucifixion on a blood stained
cross!"
"Jesus said: I tell you this that you must give
an account on judgment day of every idle word that you speak."
Matthew 12:36) God's plan of
Salvation
My mom always told me that you never have
to care about what other people think about you, as
long as you care about what God thinks about
you!
"Hear me, you who know what is right,
you people who have my law in your hearts: Do not fear the reproach
of men or be terrified by their insults." Isaiah
51:7
How strong would our faith be today if we
were lied about and falsely accused of a serious
crime. Would we fall apart because those
that are closest to our hearts think the worst of you by prejudging
you.
Would you spend your days and years in prison
trying to get anyone that would listen that you were innocent. And
blame God and curse the Judicial system for a miscarriage of
justice. And sit in your cell stewing with all this anger
and hate inside of you. A bitterness that is festering like
some kind of disease that is growing more and more like a hole
inside of you for the way your life has taken a turn for the worst.
Blaming God for leaving you when in truth God never leaves us, We
leave God. And just curl up into a ball and just become over whelmed
with despair and become useless in being a blessing for God and to
others. Waiting to glorify God when you get out to continue
doing God's Will.
Or do we do what most people would think is
just plain nuts! And that is to glorify God in the lowest moments of
your life instead of blaming him. Would you still stand with
unshakable faith believing like Joseph did that God would still
deliver him from the depths of his despair. And would you tell God
that you are ready for God to turn your fires of adversity in your
life into a blessing because you know that God wants your life at
the highest level! And this is exactly what happened to Joseph as he
had spent 13 years in prison. Genesis 39: 17
"JOSEPH KNEW
EVEN IN THE LOWEST MOMENTS OF HIS LIFE, THAT GOD WANTED HIS
LIFE AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL!"
Joseph did not sit in prison and
rot, Nor did Joseph play one minute of Satan's game of
shame of being falsely accused. He did not cry woe is me and then
blame God for the situation he was in. Joseph knew that God already
knew his heart and that God had already validated him for being
a man of honor. Joseph did not care what other people thought
of him in prison, He only cared what God thought of him. Joseph felt
God's love and blessings upon him. No one, Including Satan or
the falsely accuser's can ever stop you from receiving a
blessing from God. Joseph did not tell God that as soon as he gets
out of prison that he will start glorifying God again. Joseph did
not complain, He kept his faith and prospered because he knew that
God will never leave him or forsake him. And Joseph also knew that
if God is with you, Who can stand against you! Joseph knew how to be
fruitful and productive during the lowest moments of his life. And
Joseph not only became in charge of the very place he was imprisoned
in, Aside from Pharaoh, Joseph rose to become the most
important man in Egypt.
"And the Lord was with
Joseph, and showed him mercy". Genesis 39: 21
"We can never stop God from
blessing another person!"
If you
are truly happy in your life with God, Your not sitting at home
negatively wondering what another believer is doing so that you
can judge them and become duped into doing Satan's work
for him. If your busy being fruitful and productive just like
Joseph was and your finding positive new ways of glorifying God so
that you can be used by him throughout your destiny. And your not
hanging around a group of so called believers that are destined to
be cursed by God for being a curse to Him by trying to stop other
believers from doing God's Will. Always have the spiritual wisdom to
know that we can never stop God from blessing another. God needs
your help in making the world a better place. He believes in you and
He's got your back!
"We
should never modify God's word to be politically
correct to be popular with others.We should love others so much
that we want them to be blessed with God's truth and not cursed
by our modified version!"
"The Lord hates those who tell lies but
is pleased with those who keep their promises." Proverbs
12:22
BOOKS I HIGHLY
RECOMMEND
Whether we are too busy judging other
members of God's family or that we cannot believe why God
blesses a particular person. Then we need to read Rick
Warren's book titled: "A Purpose driven life." I
recommend this book to all future members of WOWFaith Ministries.
Read page 164. Besides the Holy Bible, Of the hundredths of books
that I personally own. These books titled: "The power of
positive thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale, and Dale
Carnigies "How to make friends and influence people".
I put Rick Warren's "A purpose
driven life" up there as one of the top ten influential
books I will ever read. Rick Warren mentions what happens when
we judge another believer. "Besides exposing our own pride and
insecurity. We lose fellowship with God," and I whole heartily
agree with his statement: "It's the devils job to blame,
complain, and criticize members of God's family. Anytime we do the
same, we're being duped into doing Satan's work for
him." Even Cuba's leader Fidel Castro
requested that Rick Warren sign his own personal copy
because he was so impressed by Rick Warren's book "A Purpose
driven life." Read "Who would God want to go into
battle with against Satan?"
