Not My Own, But GOD'S

Mis-conceptions
I find that the world I live in is that of my own.
I find that the body I live in is that of my own.
I find that the knowledge I have is that of my own.
I find that the money I have is that of my own.
From the day of birth this is built into us. It is our nature. Here I take things for granted and do with them as I desire.
I learned the things I know from my parents, from friends, from school and from the streets. I used the knowledge I have to earn the money that I have. Everything I have, I earned. I used the money I made to buy the things I wanted and needed. Everything I have is mine and I will do with it as I choose to do with it. I am my own person and I will do and say whatever I want to whenever I want to. No one can tell me what and when to do something. I know the difference between what is right and what is wrong and I will choose to do what I want to do when I want to do it.
Truth is
Genesis 1:1, Genesis 2:7, Genesis 2:17, Genesis 4:4
I find that GOD created the world I live in.
I find that GOD created the body I live in.
I find that GOD created the knowledge I have.
I find that GOD created the money I have.
I am thankful of the world that GOD has created for me. I am thankful of the body that GOD has created for me to live in. I am thankful of the knowledge that GOD has created for me. I am thankful for the things GOD has created for me to have.
Here I find I am thankful for GOD and what HE has done for me. I find myself taking care of the world. I find myself taking care of my body. I find myself studying the word of GOD. I find myself giving back to GOD in tithes and offerings. I find myself drawing closer to GOD.
So when I see people throwing trash on the ground, people cursing and swearing, people getting tattoos and piercings, people always looking to see someone naked so they can sexually please themselves or ridicule the person just for a laugh, or people just throwing money away on useless things, while at the same time saying GOD help me. It really breaks my heart to see that they are as GOD said, evil and wicked. Genesis 6:1-7
So many try to use the word of GOD to give them a way out. I hear so many say, well that is the old testament it doesn't count anymore. JESUS came and changed all that. I can go to GOD and ask for forgiveness and HE will forgive me and accept me for who I am right now and if I do it again I still have forgiveness to keep me right with GOD. Just love me and don't judge me. Love covers a multitude of sin.
Talk about false prophets and their teachings. From what I can see JESUS came to fulfill the prophecy of GOD, not change it. I also find that if one belongs to GOD and is a child of GOD then one does not do things to draw attention to themselves, but to draw attention to JESUS. I find that one does have forgiveness of something not done on purpose but by mistake. I find that love comes from GOD and not from the love of money or worldly things. For one cannot serve two masters.
I pray up to GOD that people will wake up before it is too late and realize that what happened in the beginning is still happening today. I pray they see that they are headed away from GOD and not toward HIM. I pray they find the cross and crucify their ways, bury them and be raise as new creations in CHRIST. I pray this in the name of JESUS and I give thanks to the FATHER for the truth HE has given to us. AMEN!
