Religion ReDefined - Ps Devendra Pandey

Religion is interested in man's soul.
Religion is man's priority gone wrong.
Religion is not about the Light.
The reality disturbs religiosity.

Flesh doesn't get along well with grace!

My flesh has no capacity for grace... Intepret scriptures on the basis of flesh. Here the justice of GOD turns into fairness.
This is the religious man. But the religious man lacks something-  heis not interested in man's soul !

Is my life turning totally selfward?  - look how good I am & look how bad others are.
Not just wearing a good Christian outfit. That is the sign of time.

A religious man looks neat but is not powerful and not interested in the will of GOD.

The sheep gate a popular place in the temple. An active place in the temple. A popular place in the temple. A place where the people sit. Here the people are more interested in sheep than in man.
What cn I be more interested in than man?
What is my sheep ?
The silent love of GOD in the background working salvation for the uninterested atheistic man.

Can't have light & darkness be friends. One of the two will have to compromise. One of the two will supercede the other.

The msg of the Gospel is impalitable. This world is nt conducive to our faith.

Don't change your message for it to be accepted by somebody. The ruler of this world is satan. There is absolutely no good news in this world. The only good news we have is not even from this world. It came from heaven. The Gospel is the only good news.

I want the perfect will of GOD in my life. I don't wnt a normal Christian life. Not stopping to calculate the cost.
JESUS alone cares for a man's soul.
What then is a missionary ?
We are people of Light walking around in places of darkness.
GOD plants churches. GOD brings people to their knees. GOD gets people to the Cross.

Walking comprises of some steps. Take some steps in your Christian walk too.

To be conscious of GOD

I often think about GOD or read about HIM or talk about HIM.

Even as I was doing this a few days ago I was convicted. This conviction brought me into a fresh revelation of this Mighty GOD we serve.

How HE longs for fellowship... for my friendship... for my attention.

The Bible says that when we talk about HIM that conversation is recorded in the Book of Remembrance. And when 2 or more come together in HIS name HE is present.

I have never been conscious of GOD's presence when I shared my faith or when I recalled a message or when I testified of HIS breakthroughs. I realized that I can speak with great passion aabout HIM without a conviction of HIS presence in that moment of truth.

I love how this has changed my concept of HIM. He has a better affect on me now. And HE has more of my attention.

When we walk through life and go through the motions of life we lose this consciousness of GOD. What if we lived ever so conscious of HIS Presencce that goes with me.

HE is around as I live. HE is right next to me....

Why Then...

If JESUS is truly the Water of Life then why do i still thirst?
If JESUS is truly the Bread of Life then why do i still hunger?
If JESUS is my Healer then why do I fall sick so often?

If JESUS is truly the Resurrection and the Life then why do I walk about defeated?
If JESUS will never leave me nor forsake me then why do I feel so lonely?
If JESUS is the Way, the Truth and the Life then why am I mostly so lost?

And if JESUS is who HE says HE is then why do I doubt HIM?

And if JESUS is faithful even when I am faithless then why don't I have faith in HIM?

And if JESUS holds my future then why do I fear, get anxious and worry?

I wonder and wonder and wonder why !
