intro
Which one are you?
Which one would you rather be?
I ask this because i am seeing many mocking christians.
Lets just take a moment to make sure we understand the difference between the two.
An Ambassador:
Let me tell you what makes special about an ambassador.
Ambassadors are special representatives of a country staying a foreign country, but even although they are in that foreign country they remain only under the laws and customs of their home country.
They have what is called diplomatic immunity.
They are not answerable to the law of the country that they are visiting, they dont live by that countries laws, customs, beliefs or standards.
They obey and follow the laws and practices of their home country.
As ambassadors of Christ we are citizens of Heaven.
Heaven is our Home and Jesus is our King, but we are on a diplomatic mission to a foreign country: Earth.
Earth has its own laws, its own rules, its own standard, its own morality, its own beliefs.
It worships its own God.
The kingdom of heaven has its own set of laws, morals, beliefs, principles and standard.
And the ambassador of Jesus, lives his life on earth, not conforming to earthly standards, but living as a citizen of heaven.
What about a Mocker?
So lets just get this straight: It is impossible to mock God successfully.
But many people still continue to try.
Now the mockers of God are not atheists, atheism can no more diminished the glory of God as a mad can diminish the brightness of the sun by screaming at it.
The people who do more mockery are lukewarm Christians.
Let me give you an example: The problem is that lukewarm christians treat God with contempt and disrespect.
They treat Him like an idiot.
They thing that God somehow cant see through their immaturity.
Lets look at how the prayer lives of lukewarm christians mock God.
We all pray.
Mature Christians pray, immature christians pray, lukewarm christians pray, even atheists pray in foxeholes.
Here is a question: Does God hear all these prayers?
No.
No He does not.
And to think that God is somehow obligated to hear every prayer is a mockery of God and His Word.
Let me show you something that scares the sin out of me everyday of my life:
Why?
Listen to this very clearly: If you have iniquity.
What is that?
Disobedience.
If you are guilty of being disobedient to even one of God’s commands, then God WILL NOT HEAR YOU.
Why else do you think the bible calls us to live holy lives if it was not important?
Lets ask a few questions:
A couple engages in fornication.
1 cor 6 18:
Is that couple guilty of disobeying God?
Will God hear their prayers?
A christian skips church for whatever silly reason.
Is that couple guilty of disobeying God?
Will God hear their prayers?
A christian lies about what they did or what they said.
Is that couple guilty of disobeying God?
Will God hear their prayers?
so called christian gambles...
Is that couple guilty of disobeying God?
Will God hear their prayers?
A christian gossips about one their brothers or sisters.
Is that couple guilty of disobeying God?
Will God hear their prayers?
A husband treats his wife with content and fails to show her the love she is owed.
Is that couple guilty of disobeying God?
Will God hear their prayers?
A wife refuses to submit to her husband and acknowledge his spiritual headship.
Is that couple guilty of disobeying God?
Will God hear their prayers?
A married person engages in the viewing of porn.
Is that couple guilty of disobeying God?
Will God hear their prayers?
Reality
God is mocked when people think that God is so stupid, that they can sin, be disobedient, regard iniquity - and still pray expecting God to hear them.
How arrogant must a person be?
Let me simplify this for you: If you are being disobedient then dont wait your time praying because God will not hear.
This is terrifying:
I dont know what i might need to pray for tomorrow.
I cannot afford to a single day, a single hour with God being deaf to my prayers.
What if Bella gets sick?
What if Kim gets hijacked?
What is Kim looses her job?
What is i am in an accident?
What if tragedy befalls my loved ones?
What if I need God’s help, grace, what if i need his providence, what if i have a favor to ask of my God tomorrow?
but im being disobedient today - God will not hear.
Example:
I saw a post of a member - hasn't been to church in over a month, hasn't attended a worship service, - living with the partner.
Say on facebook _”Ill keep xyz in my prayers” and i thought - what a waist of time.
What on earth will give you the impression based upon scripture that God is intrested in hearing your disobeying hearts prayers?
What a mockery of God holiness.
