Don’t fight with Jesus!!!

[Leonardo Von]

Don’t fight with Jesus!!!

As it is said in the Holy Scripture: the whole world lieth in wickedness (1John 5:19). Therefore, never the world, the circumstances or people around us will be like we wish them or like we think that they ought to be.

See what Paul wrote:

•    “I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing.” (1Ti 2:8). 

When came in my mind this verse, I thought: but how is it feasible that somebody can pray with animosity?

When we nurture some feud against someone, our lean is to fight against the Creator’s Lamb, until to convince him to get angry at those who disparage us.

Perhaps you are asking: “how can it be doable? How can someone have such audacity?”.

At first place, this will take place in the battle of Armageddon:

•    “And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth and their armies, being gathered to make war against Him who sat on the horse, and against His army.” (Rev 19:19)

Cain also fed grudge against the Creator. How he couldn’t hit Him directly, he tried to smite Him “taking out” Abel (Gen 4:8).  

Many people animadvert Cain, but the truth is that, many times, we make the same mistake, riling up this with hypocrisy. 

How? We praise Jesus saying that we love Him, but our intention is to change His feelings and thoughts. Jesus said that only it loves Him those who has His commandments and keep them (John 14:21) and John complements saying that “…this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments” (1John 5:3). Nevertheless, our intention is to make the Creator into the image and likeliness whereof we were turn into because of the sin, instead of allow His Spirit to work in us so that we can retrieve His image and likeliness (Gen 1:26,27).

Many believers make campaigns and fasts for the same motive for which Israel’s people did:

•    “Behold, *you fast for strife and debate, and to strike with the fist of wickedness*; you shall not fast as you do today, to make your voice to be heard on high.” (Isa 58:4). 

That is to say, they make campaigns so that they can ravish the Lamb and, thus, they can ravish people around them so that everyone can be compelled to do what they look on being the best.

However, who said that we can bank on our concepts and values? On the contrary:

•    “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?” (Jer 17:9). 

We criticize Ha-Satan in virtue of he thought on going up to the heavens and exalt himself above the stars of the Creator (Isa 14:12,13), but the truth is that, many times, we think on going up above the own Creator, as if we were better than Him to the point of having the right of saying to Him “what”, “how” and “when” to do the things.

Have a good weekend being elated in every circumstance (Phil 4:4), always rejoicing, praying and giving thanks to Him (1Thes 5:16-18).
