Don't Make God Angry

2Chronicles 21:16-18






"Moreover the Lord stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and the Arabians who were near the Ethiopians. ¹⁷ And they came up into Judah and invaded it, and carried away all the possessions that were found in the king’s house, and also his sons and his wives, so that there was not a son left to him except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
¹⁸ After all this the Lord struck him in his intestines with an incurable disease." 


We see the extent God will go to, to chastise us, when we are not obeying His commands, or loving each other as brothers and sisters.  He can rock our world and turn it upside down, if we are not building on the Rock of salvation.  (Psalms 127:1)  God says, "Unless the Lord builds our house, we build in vain."  I can't understand to this day why people make Father God out to be, only a loving God, a God who dose not chastise and discipline His children.  This is not the case and He does as He sees fit.  Our world has us believing that, cancer, aids, leukemia, and other diseases, have just encountered us by unknown fact, or it was caught from another country.  We're all God's children, and if He gave it to one, He can give it to another, as He did to Jehoram's family.  We have dominion over our earth, however, it is first God's lands, that He shares with us.  We are given instructions and commands in our bible, on how to possess the earth and care for it.  But since we refuse to grow up biblically, no longer thinking as children, but as adults, we see conflict everywhere.  Grown adults fighting as children, for this reason or that, and most nothing pertaining to God word.  Father God, has no choice, but to discipline us accordingly.  He also understands that these are demons that are attaching themselves to us, making us do things that are contrary to His word.  He knows, that we are not fighting against flesh and blood, but against principles and principalities, that are in the heavenly realm.  For this reason, He must execute vengeance and chastisement appropriately on us.  It is sad to see and hear, that we would rather fight a incurable disease or die trying, instead of coming to our Lord and repenting before His throne.  It is God who says, I will heal all your diseases and restore you to a right mind. It is ironic to see, that God left Jehoram with his youngest son and he was his father's first.  Remember, He's a jealous God.  Don't make God angry.


(Deuteronomy 32:   )  "And He said: ‘I will hide My face from them, I will see what their end will be, For they are a perverse generation, Children in whom is no faith. They have provoked Me to jealousy by what is not God; They have moved Me to anger by their foolish idols. But I will provoke them to jealousy by those who are not a nation; I will move them to anger by a foolish nation."


Blessings to all who love God and all He's about,
