Just Do It!!

After the Blog I wrote yesterday I assume some of you get the same impression, that I would have got a couple years ago. That is, that we are supposed to wait until we get the Green Light. Which is correct but some interpret that as, wait until I get a Feeling from God!! I grew up into the type of relationship with God, where I felt my way along. I had the idea that I was supposed to act only when I got this certain feeling or sign from God!! I would ask someone a question about my relationship with God, or what my role is as a Child of God. I would always get the same type of answer, "Pray, and see where God leads you"..."When he's ready he'll give you a sign." It was only recently until I found out, that was completely wrong!! Yeh, you heard me(actually read me), IT'S WRONG!!! Isaiah 59:10 says, "We grope for the wall like the blind; yea, we grope as they that have no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the twilight; among them that are lusty we are as dead men." I want you all to get a mental picture of a blind man walking around, groping/feeling for the wall of an unfamiliar place. Wandering aimlessly throughout, falling over his own feet only to get back up and feel again. Personally I would feel sorry for this guy, here he is with no eye sight in an unfamiliar place trying to find his way around. Now notice carefully, that the verse in bold says "we grope for the wall LIKE the blind." The word Like, inferring that WE are in fact not blind, but we act as though we are. Now get a mental picture of a man with perfect vision, who is in the same place as the blind man. Instead of opening his eyes, he shuts them and acts as though he is blind, stumbling around and falling all over the place.

Would I feel any sympathy for that guy? NO!! I would probably call him an idiot and tell him to open his EYES, like most probably everyone else would do. We call this guy and idiot, but what about the Christians who are sitting around saying this, "yeh...I'm just waiting on a sign from God, something that just gives me the feeling that I should do this." Why don't we call them idiot's, probablly because we are the people SHUTTING THEIR EYES!! The Christian gives the answer, "Just pray, and God will give you a sign." NO!!! Call them out, tell them to open their EYES (Bible) and SEE for their self!! "What should I do about my marriage?" GEN 2:24, EPH. 5:28, EPH. 5:25, MALACHI 2:15-16. "What should I be doing for Christ?" ACTS 1:8 (that pretty much sums that up) OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE!! God has given them to us already, he has given us the instruction manual, we don't have to have a feeling to read it, know it, and do it. I'm tired of people saying "I would be doing that, I just haven't got the feeling or sign that I should be yet." Well there could be several problems with this. The number one most popular problem is that you know what you are to do, but you are just to scared/uncomfortable to do it. The second most popular is that you are praying for some sign, but you haven't even searched the scriptures to SEE what God has to say about it!! And the third most popular problem would have to be, that you just haven't accepted God as your Lord and Savior. Which brings me to another point. You don't have to have any kind of special feeling to become saved. YOU DON'T!! Some people say, well when were you moved to become saved? What did you feel next? NOTHING!!! Everyone is looking for this feeling, that's why drugs are so big in the World we live in. Some that are lost say, well I know that I'm not saved, but I haven't been compelled to be saved either. They need some type of feeling to know they need to be saved. I heard a guy tell a story about him witnessing to a hall mate at College. The person came to him and said I want to be saved, I know that I'm a sinner but I want to do it at Church. NO!!! Do it now. There is no wrong place to get saved, Just do it!! If I am sitting in the waiting room, and Dr. House comes in and says,.... "Kaleb i've been looking over you family's heart history, and theres almost a 90% chance that your gonna have heart problems and you need to get it checked out as soon as possible." Once I am aware of this situation, Am I going to say.."Well, I know I need to, but I think I'll just wait until I get the special feeling." NO!!! Im gonna get my butt to a cardiologist. Christians stop feeling the wall as though you are blind, God has given us orders that are not subject to our feelings. Non-Christians, know you need Christ!! Once you do, get it done, don't wait for a special feeling that you may never live to get!! JUST DO IT!!!
