It is a common thing in the world that laws and regulations are changed and adjusted to the will and the standards of people. The main part of the law in western countries used to be founded upon the Bible. However, this is no longer the case. Many laws have slowly been adjusted to the standards of the world; the standards of people. What wasn’t allowed in the old days is allowed today. What used to be forbidden and evil is now approved and considered good and normal. And if you don’t agree with it and don’t accept it, you will be persecuted. The world is changing and the laws and regulations are changing as well. The law is no longer an assurance, a truth, on which people can rely upon. Because what is the truth, if the truth changes all the time? But what about God and His Kingdom? What about His Word? What does the Bible say about the will of God and about the lusts and desires of man? Will God change His will for the lusts and desires of man? Will God change His will for the will of man?
What does the Bible say about the abortion of babies?
It used to be unthinkable to abort a child’s life in the womb of the mother. Because aborting a child’s life was considered murder. But over the years, things have changed and now it is allowed to abort the lives of baby’s in many countries. Women have the ability to abort a baby’s life until the 24th week of their pregnancy. How did they succeed in changing the law about abortion? By using the feelings and emotions of people and medical advice.
But even if the state has approved this action and changed the law to make abortion legal, it doesn’t change the fact, that it is not alright to kill someone’s life in the womb. People can change whatever they want in the natural realm, but abortion stays murder. Because that’s what you do. You kill the life of an innocent human being. It doesn’t matter if medical science calls it abortion and approves it, because they say there is no life present in the embryo until the 24th week. First of all, they lie about this fact, and secondly it won’t take away the fact that they abort a life and therefore it is murder.
According to God’s Word, life is already present in the seed of men. If life isn’t present, then how can a fetus grow? And after 5-6 weeks the heart of the fetus is already beating. So how can you say, that there is no life present in the fetus?
For Thou hast possessed my reins: Thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise Thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are Thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in Thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them (Psalm 139:13-16).
As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child (Ecclesiastes 11:5)
Thus saith the Lord that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee (Isaiah 44:2)
Many people, who have committed abortion are tormented and accused in their conscience. This is logical, because when a person kills someone, there is blood guilt upon the person in the spiritual realm (Read also: ‘The bloodshed and lawlessness in the vineyard‘).
What does the Bible say about euthanasia?
Let’s not forget euthanasia. In the old days, it wouldn’t even cross someone’s mind to terminate the life of a person. It was not only unthinkable but it was also forbidden and punishable. But because of an adjustment of the law, it is now allowed in certain situations, to legally terminate a life, by administering medications that will kill the person. But euthanasia is just another word for murder because you kill a human being.
There are many more examples, where evil is turned into good.
Changing the law in the church
But the laws and regulations are not only changed in the world, but also in the church. In many churches, the laws and regulations, which are founded upon the Word of God, are slowly changed and adjusted to the will and lusts and desires of man.
Christians don’t change their lives to the Word of God and the will of God, instead, the Word of God is changed to the lives of people and their will. Jesus is no longer the Center of the church, but people have become the center of the church.
In the old days, the state used to trust and lean on the church. But nowadays, it’s the other way around. The church leans, relies, and trusts on the state (the world). The church has adopted the mind of the state, which is formed by the world; the kingdom of darkness.
Laws are adjusted to the lusts and desires of man
Most Christians are carnal and live after their own will and the lusts and desires of their flesh and do what pleases them and make them feel good. Many Christians consider themselves as the truth. They are full of pride and put themselves on the throne of their lives. They don’t want to submit to God and to Jesus Christ (the Word), but they want to do their own will.
They live in rebellion, in the pride and haughtiness of their carnal mind. They are led by their flesh; their senses, will, feelings, emotions, thoughts, intellect, opinions, findings, lusts, desires, etc. They lead their lives far away from Jesus Christ and serve the world instead of Him.
Many church leaders are carnal as well. They have a carnal mind and live after their own will and do what they want to do.
Because they have a carnal mind, they are worldly-minded and live just like the world.
They do the same things, watch the same television programs, movies, play games, practice yoga, and martial arts, go out to the same places, etc.
They are focused on themselves and change the rules and regulations in the church, because they mix their feelings, emotions, opinions, and philosophies with the Bible; the Word of God.
They are carnal motivational speakers and life coaches and entangle people with their positive and motivating self-help sermons. They say, what carnal people want to hear because they want to be accepted and exalted by people and get as many followers as possible.
They consider the church as a business and want to become wealthy and successful. They’re focused on great achievements, strategic marketing, fame, growth, prosperity, wealth, finances, etc.
Time is changing?
Their objectives are just like the world. They do everything they can to achieve their objectives. Therefore they compromise and change the Word of God, which is the Truth, into a lie.
Under the guise of “time is changing” or ‘the world is changing‘ many commandments of God and Jesus are adjusted and changed to the will, feelings, needs, and the lusts and desires of the flesh.
They change the Word of God and approve all kinds of sins, so that the members of the church can stay carnal and keep on walking in sins and iniquities, without feeling guilty. By changing the Word of God, they can continue doing, what they want to do. Even if it is against the will of God.
They can keep living like the world and pleasing their flesh, without feelings of guilt.
The conscience bears witness of the truth
But no matter how many laws and regulations people change in the church, they will never be able to change God’s will and change the truth of God. The conscious will always bear witness of the truth, despite the excuses people use to condone their acts.
Look at Hitler… Hitler changed the law in Germany and made it legal to arrest Jews, persecute them, and kill them. Between 5,1 to 6 million Jews were killed during WWII.
Hitler changed the law, so that he could do evil without trespassing the law.
But even though he changed the law, so that his works were legally approved and Hitler wouldn’t trespass the law, it wasn’t good what Hitler and his followers did. It was evil!
Maybe you think that this is an extreme example. But the number of people, who are being ‘legally’ killed today, like babies, elders, depressed people, etc. are way much more.
What Hitler did was evil and cruel. There are hardly any words to describe his works, but what people are legalizing today is also evil. The mission of the devil is to steal, kill, and destroy and that is exactly what is happening all around us (Read also: ‘Is the mission of the devil successful?).
According to the World Health Organisation, 56 million babies per year are being aborted worldwide. The life that God formed in the mother’s womb is aborted; killed.
Good becomes evil and evil becomes good
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter (Isaiah 5:20)
Hitler changed evil into good. What used to be considered evil became acceptable and normal. How many preachers during WWII, who obeyed the Word of God and refused to change His will and His truth, were killed? They were killed because they didn’t bow to the will of man; they didn’t bow to evil. Many preachers and Christians were killed because of their faith and their faithfulness to God and Jesus Christ; His Word.
We live in a world today, where the same thing happens. What is good becomes evil and what is evil becomes good. Check it out for yourself:
- The world says, you are the boss of your own body. You decide whether you want to abort a baby’s life or not
- The world says, you are the boss of your own life and if you can’t bear the sufferings of life it’s ok to end your life
- The world says, that it’s ok to get a divorce. It is all about your own happiness and what you want
- The world says, you may commit fornication, or adultery because people have sexual needs
- The world says, that you may masturbate, there is nothing wrong with that because a person has sexual needs
- The world says, that homosexuality is ok. They say, that they are born that way and therefore the world approves same-sex marriages
- The world says, living together unmarried is ok. Because what is the difference between being married or living together? It’s just a legal paper. By the way, you have to get to know each other first before you chose to get married
- The world says, it’s ok to lie
- The world promotes raising children in a freeway. Children have to make their own choices because that will only benefit them in becoming independent (and we already see the rebellious and prideful fruit thereof)
- The world says, to allow and embrace strange religions and philosophies in a country (except Christianity)
- The world says, if you are sick, you go to a doctor. Because a doctor is the only one, who can heal your body.
- The world says, that if you have mental problems, you go to a psychologist. Because a psychologist knows everything about human behavior. A psychologist is the only one, who can help you
- The world says…..
The world has eliminated the words of God
Many churches have opened their doors to the doctrines, philosophies, religions, and wisdom of the world. They have adjusted and replaced the Bible; the Word of God with the words of man; the wisdom of the world. Just like the world has eliminated the words of God, the church has also eliminated the words of God.
Many Christians stay carnal and are led by their feelings and emotions. They are sense ruled and therefore they approve things that are evil and which are an abomination to God.
They think, that by changing the rules and regulations in the church, which are founded upon the Word of God, and lowering the standards, they can attract more people with ‘the gospel’.
They think that by accepting all kinds of behavior of man, they show grace and walk in love.
But they don’t know, that by their so-called ‘love’ and their so-called gospel of grace, the gospel is no gospel anymore and has become powerless and doesn’t save people. Their love for people is greater than their love for God.
The flesh reigns!
Many churches have changed God’s Word to the will, emotions, feelings, needs, pleasures, lusts, and desires of man. The flesh reigns! Everything is allowed and accepted to please people. Do you know what the worst thing about this is? That they think they live right before God and that they please God with their lives, which are full of evil; sins and iniquities. But the truth is, that God hates sin and God can’t have communion with sin.
Jesus didn’t die on the cross, and shed His blood, so that people can keep living in sin and iniquity and do what they want to do (Read also: ‘Can you keep sinning under grace?‘).
But God sent His Son Jesus Christ to this earth, to die as a sacrifice for humanity. So that every person, who believes in Jesus Christ and accepts Him as Saviour and Lord and becomes born again in Christ, will be cleansed of all sin and iniquity and will become a new creation.
Jesus was your Substitute and carried your punishment. His blood was shed for you, so that you would be freed not only from your sins and iniquities but also from your sin nature (old man), that is present in the flesh.
Jesus gave you the ability to become in Him a new creation; a son of God; born of water and the Holy Spirit (new man).
As soon as you receive the Holy Spirit and become a son of God, you will have the desire to follow Jesus and walk like Jesus and please the Father. Because that is what a son does. A son, shall not do anything that grieves the Father.
God’s will becomes your will
God’s Spirit; His Holy Spirit lives inside of you. Therefore you have God’s nature and God’s will (His commandments) is written upon your heart. You will not change God’s will, but you shall submit to God and walk in God’s will. You will change your will to His will, so that His will becomes your will.
If the Holy Spirit lives inside of a born again believer, then that believer can’t be a partaker of sin, because God can’t be a Partaker of sin.
So if a person says that (s)he is filled with the Holy Spirit, but keeps on walking in sins and iniquities and doesn’t want to change, then this person is a liar and walks in the lies of man instead of the truth of God. God’s Word is the truth. If you want to walk in truth, you will obey His Word and live according to His will.
You shall do what He has commanded you to do, and not compromise with the world. Because you know, that the ruler of this world, the devil, is an adversary of God.
You have to make a choice, whether you want to obey the Word of God and probably will be rejected and/or persecuted by the people around you, maybe even by your brothers and sisters in the church, or that you obey the world.
When you choose the latter, then you will be liked by people, you will be accepted, exalted, elevated, worshipped, and praised by people.
If Christians are against homosexuality and gay marriage, they will be persecuted by the world. How many registrars had to resign or were sued or fired, because they refused to conduct a gay marriage ceremony? In the US even a bakery was sued, because of his faith, because he didn’t want to make a wedding cake for a gay couple. These people didn’t compromise, but they were faithful to God and stayed loyal to His Word. They showed Him, that they love Him above all.
When you take a stand upon the Word of God and are against living together, homosexuality, divorce, fornication, adulatory, abortion, euthanasia, foreign religions and philosophies, idolatry, etc. then people will call you strange, old fashion, religious, unloving, a racist and not of this world. You will be persecuted by the people around you, even in the church.
The world has respect for all kinds of religions and philosophies and tolerates everyone, except believers in Jesus Christ; the Christians, who obey the Word of God and take their stand upon the Word of God and don’t compromise.
Do you live in the truth?
But and if you suffer for righteousness ‘sake, happy are you: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled (1 Peter 3:14)
The more evil and wickedness in the world, the bigger the persecution of Christians. When you don’t experience any resistance or persecution by the people around you, you should ask yourself, if you really walk in the truth of God’s Word; in His will or that you have compromised with the world in many areas of your life.
We live in a world, where the good of God is considered evil, ruthless, harsh, heartless, unloving, discriminating, and so on. While God’s Word is the Truth and provides life and the words of the world are lies and provide death.
Will God change His will for the lusts and desires of man?
For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed (Malachi 3:6)
Will God change His will for the lusts and desires of man? No, God will never change His will for the cravings, feelings, emotions, will, lusts, and desires of man. No matter what rules and regulations of God’s Word are being adjusted by so-called Christians, who are the church. God will never change His will. God’s will; His commandments, which are also Jesus’ commandments will never change, despite what people do. The Spirit can never work together with the flesh and therefore the flesh has to die.
God’s will; His law will never change. The Word of God will never change, not for anything and not for anyone. God’s Word is settled forever!
The Lord of lords is holy, righteous, trustworthy, and doesn’t lie.
That is why His Word is reliable and trustworthy because He is reliable and trustworthy.
If God would change His will for the lusts and desires of man, then His Word wouldn’t be the Truth anymore. If His Word wouldn’t be the truth anymore, He wouldn’t be reliable and trustworthy.
But God’s Word is the truth and will always be the truth, no matter what people say, do, adjust, and change. No matter how many new Bible translations will come, in which people secretly make small adjustments, nothing will change the truth. Nothing will change God’s will.
The day will come, when everyone will be judged by His Word; by Jesus. The Judgment Day will start with the church and after the church, the world will be judged by the Word, because they believed not the Word and didn’t obey the Word.
Let us, therefore, repent of our walk and submit ourselves to the Word instead of submitting ourselves to the world. Don’t be afraid of the persecution by the world, because Jesus informed us about it. If you are afraid of resistance from people and of persecution, then you are not fit for the Kingdom of God and are not fit to follow Jesus. Because God will never change His will for the lusts and desires of man.
