I was just thinking about a posting that is going around Facebook. It says something like this, "God has seen you struggle with something in your life. "Like" and re-post this and in 5 minutes you will have your miracle"

How sad is it that Satan has deceived people into believing that God is like a Genie in a bottle. That is exactly what is going on. Christian people re-post these and I'm not sure that they know what they are doing.  God is not there to give you everything you ask for. No He is there for His true children. 

Did you know that if you are not saved and living your life for God, He is not under any obligation to answer any prayer you pray except the prayer of salvation. The definition of Obligation is....something by which a person is bound or obliged to do certain things, and which arises out of a sense of duty or results from custom, law, etc. So if you don't belong to Him, He don't have to even listen to you. 

God was and still is under an obligation to Israel. He has NEVER said that they were not His chosen people. He still loves them and He has sent people to them to tell them of the saving grace only found through Jesus Christ. They are STILL God's children.

The great thing about grace is that when you come to Jesus and confess your sins to him, you have become God's child. Now you are to turn from your sinful ways, and follow Christ. When you do that God WILL hear you when you pray. He WILL move on your behalf. He WILL give you the desires of your heart......unless that desire is not what He wants for you. If your desires of your heart line up with the Word of God, you will hear the word Yes from Him. Just remember God's timing is not our own.

So don't "share" the above mentioned thing on Facebook. God don't work like that.
