MY FRIENDS, DOES GOD REALLY UNDERSTAND WHY WE CANT?
As we move closer to Christ second coming. We continue to cling to those sins that “so easily besets us.” as we continue to tell ourselves, God understands, he knows my heart. Yes my friends God knows our heart and He knows “the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked” Jer. 17:9 (KJV) So what we should be saying is Satan has the greater power over God. And God’s promises that “He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”1 John 4:4 (NKJV)
And “for everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world our faith.” 1 John 5:4 (KJV) has no effect on us because Satan is greater and we have no faith to overcome him. My friends it’s personal because it is OUR FAITH, OUR JOURNEY AND OUR SALVATION. And Satan only has power over us if we give him that power. “For Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod and struck the dust of the earth, and it became lice on man and beast….”
Now the magicians so worked with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not. Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “this is the finger of 
God” This narrative begins with Aaron casting “down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent. And Pharaoh now calls his wise men, sorcerers and the magicians of Egypt, and they all threw down their rods, “and they became serpents. But Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.” Ex 7:10-12 (KJV)
My friends, God first needed to let Pharaoh know who he was dealing with and once he recognized that, he should have understood, there is only one God and He is the creator of the universe. “But Pharaoh’s heart grew hard, and he did not heed them.” Ex. 8:18-19 (KJV) But Pharaoh’s magicians recognized the finger and presence of God. So my friends, as you look back over your journey and see where God has brought you from to where you are today, do you understand it was always the presence of God that got us through the storms of our life.
And, it is the presence of God that wakes us up each morning. But God also “maketh his sun to rise on the evil (Pharaoh) and on the good (Moses), and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” Matt. 5:45 (NKJV) But God wants to do something breath-taking and awe-inspiring through His Children as He did with Moses so the world will know that there is only one God and one Savior. But first through our faith we must give it all to the Master.
And if we are going to allow God to use us for His glory and honor we must make a choice to overcome the world and the things in the world. And this my friends is what God understands, because God did not give the world His only Begotten Son for us to continue to use Satan as a crutch or a substitute for Jesus Christ and that is what we are doing when we say God understands.
But what He does understand is “no one can serve two masters; for either he [or she] will hate the one and love the other, or else they will be loyal to the one and despise the other.” Matt. 6:24 (KJV) And He also understand that His love is what Calvary was all about; selfless, sacrificial, and unconditional. And if we understand this, then we must also understand self must die daily as we live our life through Christ.
