There are extreme forces and powers in the solar system, but we are protected from most of them by natural counterbalances. Extremes of heat, cold and radiation are balanced by natural insulation that stop these forces destroying all life. The human race has adapted some of the powers of nature for their benefit. Electricity is one such wonder... despite its uses, it can be fatal if it is not insulated from direct human exposure. There is another force that is not talked about all that often and that is the power of God. The bible reveals that this power is going to judge the earth and those in it. However, there is a way to avoid judgment and live forever... that is the purpose of the gospel. The following scriptures reveal how to avoid judgment and how to safely use the available power.

There's an old saying that you should never discuss sex, politics or religion in polite company. However, that has proven to be a distraction, to try and stop people talking about God. The observable truth is, that politics and sex are frequently the subject of discussion and a quick look in any of the media will reveal that these topics are often in the headlines. There is only one topic that this world wants to avoid and that is religion: particularly Christianity... everything else it seems, is a distraction to keep people away from the true knowledge of God.

God is the creator of all human life. He knows the best way to direct and guide those who choose life over death. Once God proves himself through the anointing of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues; we should be wise enough to trust him. It stands to reason that we should take the directions and advice that God has given us, because God makes choices based on what he knows, not on what we know. The following scriptures outline the primary directions that all Christians should choose to build upon. After all, we have an eternal reason to serve God the way he wants to be served... God has his reasons.

It is not uncommon for people to have their confidence in God, waver from time to time. God is fully aware of this tendency and has made provision for us within the power of the Holy Spirit and has also revealed motivational principles within the scriptures. The combination of these two motivators has given us an excellent chance of maintaining the wonderful relationship, which God has given us. The following scriptures offer us a very clear perspective and remind us of why we should have confidence in God.

We have been offered the greatest possible gift anyone could ever receive... eternal joy, happiness, satisfaction, peace, success and life... let's build a life that reflects the opportunities that lay ahead of us. Without a strong vision and dedicated commitment, we cannot attain the greatest offer in the universe.

One of the greatest challenges facing today's church is that it confuses the wood with the fire, because they are often not clearly taught about the anointing fire of the Holy Spirit. It is the job of God’s people to reveal the difference between the two. Let’s differentiate between the wood (our actions) from the fire (God's Spirit)

Many Christians do not know what it is to be at complete rest with God. With God's ways seemingly being far beyond our grasp, many cannot find peace or contentment... confidence is far from them. Many of the shortcomings of life lead people to believe that they are not good enough nor worthy to be part of God's family, nor do they believe that they will ever overcome this world... this is wrong, God has a much better plan with many built in advantages.

The joy of the Lord is a fruit of the Spirit that grows and develops from the application and commitment of spiritual principles. It is not the joy that comes from short term moments of pleasure or positive gains. The joy of the Lord is a positive attitude that we take onboard once we receive the Holy Spirit and choose to live by its power. The joy of the Lord is actually a chosen state of existence for those who are confident in their salvation and are not always seeking 'blessings' to try and validate their existence.

God makes an offers to the whole world, which would allow them to stop struggling and to let him guide their life. This is made possible through the anointing of the Holy Spirit. The new Christian life is simplified by understanding the ongoing battle between good and evil. However, there needs to be an understanding of what God means by good and evil. Good and evil are not moralistic nor social values... they are principles pertaining to spiritual life and death. Thus good, means something which helps life and evil means something which helps death. Many struggle under the weight of battle, but the scripture reminds us that the battle is not ours, it is God's.

The greatest battle we will ever face as a Christian; is the fight to maintain the wisdom that God has given us. The challenge is between God's values and ours, God's will and our will, God's truth verses our natural understanding. There is only solution that guarantees the result that we all pray for... and God who knows the end even before the beginning has given us this wonderful solution... BUILD RESPECT FOR GOD.
