God Thinking 60 - Religion or Christ, which is it? 6

"As you get closer to God:
  • The world and everything it offers takes its proper place in the presence of God, (full of false hope and empty promises).
  • The huge and seemingly impassable obstacles look like toys made with toothpicks when we get close to God.
  • Your worst, real live nightmare fades into obscurity in the presence of God.
 As you get closer to God:
God imparts hope to encourage us that you can accomplish your dreams in spite of every barrier and God let’s you see how to do it. 
God let’s you into His foreknowledge and you can use that vision to take any you to your next level.

I hope you are letting this get down into your spirit.

As you get closer to God:
  • Your faith rises to a new level. The kind of faith that needs no further proof - faith that needs no sign - raw faith that believes things into existence.
  • The impossible becomes probable and then the probable becomes conceivable and then the conceivable becomes potential and the next thing you know, what was impossible is now actuality.
As you get closer to God.   
Your enemy comes after you with a vengeance to remind you that everything that God says is true, isn’t true.

Every time you have a genuine great thought that draws you closer to God, here comes satan to remind you of how utterly ridiculous it is to think you could ever get closer to God.

satan jeers in the background, because he has seen so many Christians say one thing and do another.  satan has seen so many Christians start out one way and end up another.  satan counts the times when you fail and brings them to your remembrance every chance he gets. 

satan lies to you about what happens when you get closer to God. 

he lies about what is ahead for you. 

he lies about what the results of the encounter will be. 

he lies about what you’ll lose, what you’ll gain, what effect it will have on others, what your place is in the big picture.

satan lies to you as you start to draw close to God, because he knows the truth about himself, which he has managed to hide from so many people today."
