God can see everything
nothing is hidden from him
therefore since Jesus is my high priest, interceding for me night and day, since he was tempted in every respect like me. Therefore I can approach the throne of grace and mercy and find grace
The counterfeit message: God is of divine killjoy but God’s kingdom is one of righteousness, peace and joy. Not dead joy.
The counterfeit message: God is waiting to interrupt my growth, gifts or joy when I stumble. God promises to give me wisdom every day. It can come through scripture, inspiration or failure.” Samuel Smiles.
The counterfeit message: God is sitting on his judgment throne passing out condemnation, judgment which separates me from Him. God sent Jesus on a ministry of mending my relationship with God. Satan accuses me daily in the presence of God while Jesus and the Holy Spirit intercede for me daily.
The counterfeit message: God is harsh, unforgiving, rigid, unapproachable. Paul says, “Let us the approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” When I agree with God about my thoughts and actions, David says: “as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.” Ps 103:12
The counterfeit message: God requires total transformation before I can talk him. “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Rm 5:8. Before I had a chance to try and reshape my life God had already prepared the way of restoration. He paid the price. He assigned the comforter to guard me, to guide me, to help me pray and teach me wisdom.
