Blessed with a gentle God.
Many times we feel like God is punishing us. We feel like temptations are always after us. We say things like ”If God has all power, why is He allowing these things?” Many of us feel that God will not set us free from the things we need to let go of. We begin to question his abilities and authority. I’m here to tell you that we serve a gentle God. God will not enter where he is not welcome. You have to WANT to be free from sin. God can not deliver a person that does not want to be delivered. God is not a God of punishment. God is not of evil. “Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.” James 1:13. Learn to fight temptations in the spirit. Temptations are driven by your own desires. Give God permission and access to search your heart. Ask Him for help, but only if you really desire help. He is willing and capable, but only if you would allow him to do so. Be Blessed!
