WHY ARE YOU ALLOWING YOURSELF TO BE CHEATED?

             Have you ever been cheated by someone when you bought something? Like maybe a house and everything about the house was not disclosed. Or a vehicle that had something unseen wrong with it and you found it later. Not a good feeling to be cheated and lied too. If I buy something from someone who has cheated me I will never ever buy something from them again. I learned my lesson. Why then if we are smart enough to learn and never let the cheater and liar to enter our lives again, then why do we keep letting Satan deceive, lie and cheat us out of the true joy of following the life God has intended for us? Great question. Why do we keep falling for Satan's lies and deceptions. Here is the reason very clearly. Our soul is struck living inside of a physical body we do not control. We lost that control in the Garden of Eden. When Adam and Eve listened to Satan and believed his lie about the fruit of the forbidden tree mankind lost control of our physical bodies right then and there. Oh we like to think in our prideful minds we have total control but we have none. The only control we have in life is this. Who's voice are we going to listen too and obey. Satan has this world to offer you. All the things this world has to offer that God say no too. These things Satan has to offer you are sins against the flesh and against God's commandments. We only control who we are going to listen too. If we listen to Satan and his lies he is going to cheat you out of the truly wonderful life God has planned for you. If your sins become exposed then Satan has accomplished destroying your witness for God now affecting other lives in the progress. But most of all Satan is going to lead you down the exact same road he chose a long time ago. He will lead you to hell to spend eternity with him and his demons in torment. Separated from your Almighty God and Jesus forever and ever. Satan is a cheater, liar and theft. Cheats all who will listen to his lies. Why do we keep going back to the cheater and theft. Because the only choice each and everyone of us is to choose which voice you are going to listen to in life. Jesus said his sheep will recognize his voice. How do you become one of Jesus's sheep. You have to choose to listen to his voice and follow his every commandments. We have to choose to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. The bible is very clear in John 14:6 when Jesus said He is the only way to his Father who is in heaven. There is no other way on earth to get to heaven. Accepting Jesus to be our shepherd is a mandatory choice in life to make it to heaven. We must only obey Jesus's voice. A shepherd is a protector of his sheep. Jesus's commandments are all important because they are all set up to protect His sheep. Take these steps to help you recognize Jesus's voice so you know it is Jesus who is speaking to you.

1. First read the sheep manual. The Holy Bible tells us all of Jesus's commandments. The bible also through the gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John allows us to recognize who Jesus is and what Jesus teaches. This will help you to recognize his voice and know it is Him speaking to you.2. Stay with the flock. It is easier for the shepherd to protect his flock if they all stay together. Jesus's flock can be found in his pasture (The Church). There is a reason Jesus built His church that He is the cornerstone of. It is to keep his flock together so they can help and protect each other. When you decide to stay away from the church for any reason you are deciding to go it alone away from the flock. We all know a sheep alone is easy game for the wolves, especially if you have wandered into the wolves pasture.3. Learn the commandments. If we learn and know God's rules and commandments we can easily recognize a lie when we hear it because God will never tell you to do anything against His commandments. Remember this because your eternal life depends on it. You do not control your physical body. The voice we choose to listen to does. Only true choice we have to make is what voice are we going to listen to and obey. Choose to listen to the King of King and Lord and Lord. Jesus has your best interest in His heart. God loves you all so very much and so do I.
