Have you ever wondered if what you are doing is coming from God?

Well, here’s my simple truth for you…if it’s pulling you away from God it’s NOT from God!

Ask yourself the following questions:

Are you too busy to pray?
Do you only go to church when you wake up in time?
Are you missing blessings that are happening all around you?
Do you constantly compare yourself to others?
Are you too busy to serve others?
Do you feel unworthy?

Think of it this way friend… whatever it is… if it’s pulling you away from God, then it’s not from God!

1 Corinthians 10:13 “"No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.”

I’ve found that over the years (yes, that makes me sound old) that when I feel the most distant from my Heavenly Father it’s because I’ve opened the door to the world and completely ignored what He has said to me.

Now, don’t get me wrong. so much of this world — the blessings, the beauty and the bounty we receive— come from Him.

But that which causes a slow growing cancer in your life, that which creates turmoil and strife to perpetuate in relationships, that which replaces your admiration and praise for Christ…is not of God.

How do you know if it’s from God?

When something is ordained from the most High the Holy Spirit will move in you to point you to the right path. However, when the manipulator, the father of lies is trying to chip away or coerce you to a specific outcome you’ll feel the heavy pull and the burden of indecisiveness pull you down.

This feeling many of us may have experienced and we’ll call it nerves, worry, anxiety etc but what it truly is, is the devil himself working slowly and steadily to break us down.

I urge you to stay rooted in your church, stay committed to your daily devotion and to press into prayer even when you don’t have the right words to say because only when it is from our Lord will you feel at peace.

Whatever it may be that is pulling you away from God just remember that it’s not from Him…but you can call upon Him to pull you closer to Him.
