Why Some People No Longer Follow God

Why Some People No Longer Follow God

God is all powerful.  Satan is not.  Satan can not harm or defeat God even though he would like to.    

This whole life revolves around God creating man in order  to have a relationship with him.  That is God's biggest desire and aim.... what this life is all about!!!!!

Satan can, on the other hand, sway mankind because man has a free will.   Satan will try everything to get us to not have a relationship with God.  His tricks are numerous.  He will put thoughts in our minds.  He will point at a situation in our life and say things like, "See that! God caused that to happen because He does not love you!"  "If God loved you then you would have that job, or that spouse, or the perfect life!"  So God must not love you!"  There are many other numerous tricks that he will try in order for us to doubt God's love for us.

Once he convinces a person that God is not the loving Father that He is the next step is only natural....... for us to want nothing to do with God.  Which, sadly to say, is happening all around us today.  I must confess that I have fallen subject this this ploy as well in the past.

Knowing how much God loves man and how He longs for relationship with man, Satan realizes the most injury he can do to God is to put a knife through His heart each time one of His children turns away from the love He has to offer.

Sometimes it is through catastrophic events that happen in our lives.  Sometimes it is just the subtle, tiny, everyday annoyances that the enemy of God will use to wear us down and cause us to turn away from God.

                                             Don't be deceived!

                 1. God wants a relationship with you!
                 2. Satan does not want you to have a relationship with God!


John 10:10 says The thief (Satan) comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I (Jesus) have come that they (we) may have life, and have it to the full.

If it is stealing, killing and destroying you and pulling you away from a relationship with God.... then it is the enemy.   If it is full of life and leads to a relationship with the Father.... then it is God.

Let us stop listening to the lies of the enemy.  Let us return to a vibrant relationship with the Father and no longer be the knife in the hand of the enemy that wounds the heart of God.
