Myth and Faith - 5

Myth - People who are successful spiritually won't have any troubles (or) people who don't have troubles will be successful spiritually

Truth - Hard truth is that satan has its own Suttle ways to shake the faith of people whatever is the level of spirituality, how well settled the person maybe. Every human being will carry few weaknesses by nature, that came from his parents and brought up. Unless the person repent deeply and get transformed, satan continuously provokes the person in these areas to bring him down spiritually. This is one reason why a person should die to the older self when converted and become a new person. Otherwise satan will get a strong hold on the person. 

Stronger the persons faith grows and the person grows spiritually, stronger the attacks will grow. One should be wise enough to be able to guess the attack and handle and also should be strong enough to keep faith and eyes on the LORD. Otherwise we lose!!

Myth and Faith - 4

 Myth: God also cannot help if the person is not willing to change.

Faith: Even if the person is not willing to change, if the person have desire to change himself, if he surrenders himself to God to bring about that change in him, God will definitely help, because our God is a compassionate God who sees the inner most thought/motive of human heart.

God gives many chances to a person. Even though he is not willing to change but waits upon God, God makes that person learn the need to change, and shows the way how to change, in a way understandable by that person. Only God can do that, just as a mother is the only most satisfying thing in this world to a little child, only a mother can quieten her crying child, so is God to a believer. He can make the person understand the value and help to change. 

And God has that patience to wait upon a person. Men(human beings) give few chances and will say that - useless, hopeless, cannot change etc, etc, but God keeps giving second chances untill we understand and change, provided we are in the right path, in the midst of fellowship of Godly people, and continuously be in his courts and plan, and try to move towards God and value Him. If we move away, go astray from the path, then the our fate befall on us.
