The Thrill of Obedience | Timeless Truths - Dr. Charles Stanley

Do you obey out of a fear of potential consequences or from a desire to know God better? Walking in obedience to the Lord can lead you into a purposeful, wonderful-and, yes-thrilling adventure.
God has great plans for your life. Obedience is the critical first step.

Obedience: Obeying God in small matters is an essential step to enjoying His thrilling rewards. Obeying God will never prove to be disappointing. -Difficult circumstances are often God's way to grow our faith. - God's involvement in the little things in our lives is an expression of His love. - A lifestyle of obedience results in praise. Obeying God in small matters can result in dramatic changes in our life. -We will never lose obeying God -We will never win disobeying God.

I've often heard us referred to as "God's Instruments". Being a Musician, I am acutely aware of the importance of an "Instrument" being "In Tune". Being "Out of tune" makes it unpleasant for everyone around it. Being "In Tune" makes it not only a joy for the listeners, but, if that Instrument, be it a Piano, a Guitar or a Cello, could have feelings, IT would be much happier being IN tune than OUT of tune. "Obedience" is being IN TUNE with our Creator. That will ALWAYS make us happier than being Out of Tune with Him. "If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them." John 13:17

Psalm 1: 1Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or set foot on the path of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers. 2But his delight is in The Law of The LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night. 3He is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does. 4Not so the wicked! For they are like chaff driven off by the wind. 5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. 6For The LORD guards the path of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

I want to be obedient but I'm realizing that I only want to be for the wrong reasons. Because I'm scared to die without having changed enough and that he'll send me to hell. I love my sin more than I love him. But I want to love him more. But I choose laziness and I choose to find comfort in my sins. I'm desperate. I want him to change me. I can't change myself I really can't. I pray and I feel like nothing happens. I do evil everyday and go to bed apologizing and making false promises. I hate it here, I hate myself and I hate the people and mostly I hate the devil for all of this. I'm so sick of being bad. Yet I choose to be every morning. I have no support and I keep doubting that God ever even heard me. I'm constantly scared to die the man that I am today. Ashamed and sick with a love for sin. Oh Lord help me.

[@darylm.stephens9603]

Your not alone in that

[@spongebob148]

I think it would be a good idea to find a church in your area. And I would recommend getting a job if you don't have one. So that it will take your mind off of sinfull things that you want to do. And I would talk to some of the guys at your church about what you are struggling with. Also, once you stop doing certain sins it will become eaiser for you. And you should get rid of things that tempt you to sin. Another thing I would suggest is getting a hobby you like, a example could be playing classic video games. Just make sure that they are rated E, not M or T. And I would suggest reading your Bible every day for 30 minutes, it helps alot. I hope this advice helps you, and have a nice day.

[@lightsalt5509]

Your honest answer God hears! Cry out to God and be honest with Him. HE WILL DELIVER YOU FROM THE BONDAGE THE DEVIL HAS YOU IN. KEEP READING YOUR BIBLE AND KEEP PRAYING. I'M LIVING PROOF! GOD WILL CHANGE YOU BY THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT!

[@thomasmartinscott]

The 1st step would be to KNOW that you are Born Again. Not ONE of us can live up to the Standard of True Christianity. That's why Jesus said "Ye MUST be Born Again." (Jn 3: 3-7) "ALL of OUR righteousnesses are as Filthy Rags." (Is 64:6) The "New Creature" that is "Born of God" can NOT SIN. (1 Jn: 3:9) Also read the whole book of Romans... especially Chapter 7. Paul is saying exactly what you just said.(The harder I tried, the worse I got. It sounds like you might be where I was... trying... TRYING, in the flesh, to do what ONLY the Holy Spirit is even capable of doing.) Let go, and LET God do what you can not do. God Bless You!

There's safety and security in obedience--how could we cross the spiritual minefields of life without a spiritual guide dog to see for us?

[@temia761]

- Is obedience a burden or a thrilling. It's suppose to be a privilege to follow God. Not something annoying but a pleasure that God is leading me to a blessing. This takes brokenness to get to that stage. - Like 5: 1-11 1. Obeying God in small matters is an essential step to God's thrilling rewards. There is no such thing as a small command because God is the one asking. And a blessing is coming! Jesus told Peter to borrow him a boat - sensitize yourself to God's fork-in-the-road so God can lead me 2. Obeying God will never prove to be disappointing, especially in hindsight 3. Difficult circumstances are often God's way to grow our faith. The small obedience leads to bigger and bigger steps and greater opportunities, obediences Always results in a deeper understanding of ourselves and God. God's involvement in little things of our lives is an expression of his love A lifestyle of obedience results in praise. 4. Results in dramatic changes in our life we never lose when we obey God. we never win when we disobey. what is the next thing i need to do, what am i arguing with him about

Proverb,3.5_6?

[@halaluyah1585]

This is the Truth in regards to the One and ONLY Alahym, the Creator of heaven and earth and of mankind and of all things, YAHUAH !! The Sacred Name that He himself proclaimed to Moses on Mount Sinai which the pagans have tried to cover up and replace with titles such as “Lord” or “Lord God” over 7000 times in the bible, titles which were used for babylonian false gods (ba’al). His Name is the biggest revelation in the whole Torah (True Word and Law of YAHUAH) and it is the first Commandment given to us as an eternal memorial to know and address and worship our One Creator by His True Name YAHUAH and not by pagan titles!! He clearly says to not take His name to vain !! (3rd Commandment). The other most crucial Truth which they have tried to twist and pervert with their lies and through which they have deceived people into worshipping the beast is the name of our Glorious Messiah the Son of YAHUAH and his true biblical name is Yahusha (the name His Father in heaven gave him not men, as the original hebrew text shows us) not jesus christ!! Yahusha (YAHUAH-yasha) translates as YAHUAH is Salvation! Because he would come in the name of the Father in heaven to bring His Salvation!! The name “jesus christ” does not embody the Father’s name but something completely else!! It was created by emperor costantine at the council of nicea in an attempt to bring peace and unification to the roman empire by bringing all the pagan gods who were being worshipped at distant parts of the empire (all names of Tammuz the babylonian false god, the names simply changed after being dispersed from the tower of babel) into this one false image of our Messiah who could be accepted by all pagans unified by a false “universal religion”. The many pagan names were narrowed down to the most worshiped and influental of the time, hesus (druid false god), horus (egyptian false god), and krishna (eastern false god) which later evolved into jesus h. christ. The first letters of these three names in greek chi, xi and sigma are actually the letters which were shown to John himself to be the symbol of the beast and they were added together in a numerical value in error by the translators which would make for the number 666 hence the misconception that this number is the symbol of the beast. In light of this new false religion and false image of the Messiah was also changed the Set-Apart 7th Day Shabbat of YAHUAH (4th Eternal Commandment!! www.ministersnewcovenant.org/uploads/9/1/6/1/9161032/ls_book_2013_1.0.pdf - how to determine the Shabbat) to “sunday” offering worship to their babylonian pagan sungod! Christianity is the carbon copy of the mystery babylonian religion and has deceived so many people with its false trinity and incarnation doctrines (The heavenly Father is One he is not a bi-entity or a trinity!!) its pagan holydays and day of worship (not the true ordained feasts of our Creator mentioned in The Torah) its false teachings about the Law (the Law was not done away with at the “cross”! Yahusha our Messiah the Son of the Almighty said so himself!- Matthew 5:18. The decrees demanding our death for disobedience were. We are to do our best to be obedient to the Law of our Father just like Yahusha our Master said we should! John 13:15-17, Matthew 7:21-23) and its false image of the Messiah (the beast in disguise)!! I’m not asking you to believe me or agree with me i’m inviting you to investigate and seek the Truth for yourself because the end days are upon us! I’ll share a website that has a lot of researched knowledge regarding The Truth of our Heavenly Father: “www.sabbathcovenant.com” and some youtube channels which dive on these topics: “Parable of the Vineyard”, “YAHUSHA KING”, “The Sabbath Covenant”, “Messenger Of The Name”, “Watchmen of YAHUAH”, “Hidden One of YAH”, “Devoted to Yah”. Whoever has a heart for the Truth let them hear! Seek YAHUAH the One and Only Living Alahym and His True Word!!
