The rebellion of the world against our great God! 

Last night God spoke to me about the rebellion against His name using two examples of scripture. This attitude is pervasive and has stirred up His anger and provoked His judgments over our world. 

“Why do the nations rage,
and the people plot a vain thing” Psalm 2:1

God feels outrageous over the actions of the nations. They have disdained His holy name.

The leaders in government and the powerful kings have set themselves up opposed to God and have made a derision of His precepts. 

They have attempted to nullify the precepts of God and replace them with their own laws and liberal attitudes. They have disgraced God and will pay a brutal and heavy penalty for their actions. 

“Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.” Genesis 11:4

The other example God brought to my attention is the Tower of Babel. This deals with the arrogance of the people in attempting to build a tower reaching to heaven. Their purpose was to secure the protection and favor of God.

This made God very angry. They were dismissing His sovereignty believing a tower would protect them from danger. They exemplified an arrogant attitude they could somehow control or influence God. They did not recognize God has no needs or help from any human being. 

We need God; He does not need us. There is nothing you can do to influence God. He is set in His ways. As believers, we must submit to God seeking His will for our lives. 

This action caused God to confuse the people with different languages and scatter them around the world.

The question is how do you and I rebel against God?

Any time you or I attempt to exert our will above God we are asking for trouble. This is why it is so important to stay attached to God through the Holy Spirit. He is the life of Christ.

You live in oneness with God by listening to His voice, studying His Word, and opening yourself up to the correction and change of the Holy Spirit.

Give the Holy Spirit authority over your life and you will be able to do the will of God on earth as it is done in Heaven. You will meet the Living Christ!

This comes down to accepting Jesus has power and dominion over the heavens and earth and diligently seeking His will for your life.

He lives so you can live!
