Resisting Temptation; Turn Offs Hahaha

I discovered a great way to resist temptation. Shout at satan: YOU SHUT UP! GET LOST! AND GO BURN IN YOUR OWN FIRE!

For me, it worked, instantly! I was like WHOA! POWER!

LOL. Truth is light, and where light is, darkness has to flee. What truth is there in rebuking the devil that causes him to flee? The fact that you expose him as the one who steals, kills and destroys!

Many times we get tempted, we look at ourselves.
Many times people fight, they look at each other.
Many times we face a crisis, we look at the situation.

WE HAVE TOTALLY FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE DEVIL!

Where is he? He is hiding! He's a coward, a HUMJI! But a very clever one too! LOL. Dont be deceived, if you wanna get angry, get angry at him! Everytime we suffer, all he does is to vanish into the wallpaper and enjoy us getting destroyed. What a saddist!

Of course, dont go round shouting hahaha.

I was reading Matthew 23 today and I saw it in a different light today.

If you think I complain a lot and rant a lot, you havent seen Jesus! LOL. Just read the chapter. The entire chapter is Jesus rebuking the pharisees. Woe to you! Woe to you! Woe to you! Woe here, woe there! Curse here, curse there!

After He finished 'woe'ing them, He starts calling them brood of vipers! Snakes! Blind guides! Sons of murderers! A wicked and perverted generation! Etc.

Haha we know may know Jesus' heart and mind, but He really has an interesting PERSONALITY! LOL.

Imagine one day you go heaven, you say in a soft gentle voice, because you paiseh, "Jesus, Im so glad to see you..." And He goes, "YOU! WHY THAT TIME YOU PRAY TO ME YOU NEVER BELIEVE? Huh? Huh? Huh?" And he starts stroking your head. HAHAHA. Ok Im kidding. HAHA!

Man!

I thought Jesus was cool all along but He's still human, He has an 'attitude' sometimes.

God gets turned off too!

Sometimes when people came to Jesus to be healed, He didnt heal ALL of them, though He healed MOST of them. Sometimes He would just walk past. There was even once Jesus turned to a woman and said, "It is not good to feed the food from the table to DOGS!"

Can you believe it? If you were the woman and you were asking for healing, how would you have reacted? Yet nevertheless, He had compassion for those who were in need. And He responds to faith!

You thought Jesus is VERY COOL. Wait till you're His disciple. Many occasions the disciples merely asked for a question, and they got rebuked for their lack of faith and understanding. Like...what did they ever do to Him? :O Sometimes I pity the disciples also haha.

Nevertheless, despite being discipled over and over again, they still followed Jesus. It shows one thing, they were TEACHABLE. They can take scolding!

When they dozed off while Jesus was praying, they got rebuked again! What! Cant you even watch with Me for an hour?

How many of us ever failed to pray? We all have. Yet sometimes, we take God's goodness for granted. God is SLOW to anger, does it mean He doesnt have anger? No. He's just holding it. So...the next time we screw up, and God keeps silent. Please be smart, start repenting and do the right thing before God really says something! :DD HAHA.

Sometimes I find Jesus funny and at times sarcastic, I mean, poor pharisees, they came with a question and Jesus 'guai-lan-ed' them with a PARABLE. In the end, everyone got lost and confused, no one said a thing, and He walked off! LOL! BEST!

So please, its okay to ask God questions, just dont be RIDICULOUS or ask stupid questions.

Its like.."Oh God, Im so angry, Im so upset, I really dont feel like forgiving the person..." You complain to God. And you realize...He's silent. Then later you realize, you worried for nothing.

Another person goes.."Oh God, Im so upset and angry, I really hate him, God, please give me the strength and the power to forgive, better still, make him turn to You." And God is like: "Gooooooood! YOU ARE WISEEE! You asked for a good thing! Let it be to you!"

HAHAHAHA...

Sometimes, we even may God repeat Himself. "Oh God, I feel so poor, how am I gonna prosper?" God keeps silent. You think its a period of testing, but the answer is right on your shelf...THE BIBLE. "Give and it shall be given to you, good measured, pressed down, shaken together and running over, shall MAN add to your bosom.."

And you just sit there wallow in self pity. No wonder God doesnt say anything!

The answer is so obvious! Its like God saying:

Hello! You want a word from God? You already have the WORD OF GOD and you still ask for the WORD FROM GOD? What is the bible for! Do you understand the meaning of WORD OF GOD? Cant read english? Never mind, I have mandarin bible, korean bible, japanese bible, which one you want? Even BILINGUAL BIBLE, I also have! LOL!

If we were His disciples back then, we are sure gonna get whacked on our heads!

Of course there are times He gives us His rhema. But like we always hear, its not a religion, its a relationship, you have to build that closeness. =)

When we were babes, God treats us like one, but when we have grown up, lets have a backbone of steel! =)

When the storm was raging on the boat, JESUS WAS SLEEPING! So...please, God is with you, greater is He who is in you than He who is in the world, dont go and "Oh NO! God, IM GONNA DIE...how how how?"

Many times we talk like that, God keeps silent. Why? You wanna fast forward the story to when the disciples tried to wake Jesus up? What was His response? Hahaha. You want Him to reply you like that? =D No right? Sooooo..breathe in, breathe out....have some faith! :)

Before we make a stupid statement, imagine Jesus' eyeballs large, staring at you, waiting for you to say that negative thing and then He will..."Tell you a bedtime story" hahahaha.

We have the answer to every problem. If God is calm, then we have no reason to panic. Soo, the next time we wanna complain or grumble, dont wait until God sends you an anonymous email containing a PARABLE! HAHAHA. =D

God may be nice and funny sometimes, but He sure is serious! ;)

Yes we will fall, but pick yourself up!
Yes we may not understand, but be open and teachable!
Yes we may be depressed and may need to vent our emotions out or share it with God, He listens, just dont stay depressed or go so extreme until it becomes annoying :D
