Calm Down, Repent, and Keep His Commandments

Our ABBA Father loves us, ❤❤❤but He ignores our temper tantrums. He only responds to Faith & Obedience🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

If you’ve ever raised a toddler into a child, you know the stages of emotional manipulation that comes when their will is being conformed into obedience:

– denial “huh?” not acknowledging the instruction
– temper tantrums
– blame-shifting, responsibility avoidance
– negotiation “if I do this, then you gotta…”
– “you don’t love me”
– self-hatred, “woe is me”

This is the same thing we do when our Father in Heaven commands us to repent, mature, and grow up.

Toddlers are so so cute🥰🥰🥰. They are so expressive and talented. They get a lot of likes and subscribes and sympathy. If you’re honest you don’t even really want to discipline them. You enjoy them too much!

But guess what? Emotional manipulation and blame shifting won’t work with God. He’s not an ignorant first time parent. He is a Father to the fatherless.

He IS patient, and He IS kind, and His mercy IS brand new every morning… BUT HE STILL COMMANDS US TO REPENT.

Calm Down, Repent, and Keep His Commandments.

Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

What’s the Difference Between Condemnation and Conviction??

What’s the difference between condemnation and conviction?

Condemnation tells you you are going to hell and/or you are worthless.

Conviction tells you that your sins could take you to hell, and the sin you have done is very dangerous; but that you are very valuable and if you repent and turn to the heart of God, He is rich in mercy and grace – He will cleanse you and give you the favor and power to do great, mighty, and awesome things in his holiness.

Condemnation is going to prison.

Conviction is hearing the sentence, agreeing with the sentence, agreeing to change, then agreeing to be set free and saying “thank you.”

Condemnation leaves you trapped.

Conviction boxes you in, but leaves you a way out – repentance!

The Spirit of Elijah doesn’t Bring Condemnation

The Spirit of Elijah doesn’t bring condemnation – it brings conviction and purification by the fire of GOD and repentance and a returning back to the Heart of GOD and a restoration of the vision and plans of GOD and the appearing or manifestation of the Son of GOD.
