WHAT IF?

What if God doesn’t answer your prayers they way you want Him to?

What if what you think to be important isn’t really important?

What if God knows more than you?

What if God knows what is best for you even if it conflicts with what you, in all of your infinite wisdom, think to be best for you?

What if God doesn’t send the money you think you have to have when you think you have to have it?

What if God doesn’t give you all the cars, houses, clothes, and other worldly things that you think you should have?

What if God says, it isn’t His fault you do not have enough money? What if He says that you have responsibility to work and earn what you need?

What if God tells you that you misused your finances and that is the reason for most of your financial problems?

What if God tells you He is not a Santa Claus in the sky and to stop expecting Him to be one?

What if God tells you most of your problems are not from Satan but because you keep making wrong decisions?

What if God still demands brokenness and repentance before Him in honest godly sorrow, in the name of His Son Jesus, pleading the blood of Jesus as a means of garnering His attention?

What if God tells you He actually expects you to change your life style behavior after you have been forgiven of your sins?

What if God tells you righteousness and holiness is still important?

What if God tells you His Word is not the final authority, it is the ONLY authority?

What if God tells you He is tired of people seeking the gifts of the Holy Spirit instead of the Holy Spirit? What if God tells you, yes there is a difference?

What if God tells you, you cause yourself more heartache than Satan causes you, because you are rebellious, disobedient and undisciplined?

What if God says He will walk beside you, but you still have to walk through the fire?

What if God said it is best for the flood to come into your life, but He will be the life preserver and keep you floating?

What if God said He wants the diamond inside you to shine and the only way for this to happen is for pressure to come over you? What if He said, get ready for pressure?

What if God promises to allow pressure, trials and tribulations to flood your life; to refine and mold your character, faith, love and strength?

What if God promises not to tell you when the storm, the fire, the flood and the tribulations will end, only that they will? Will you still follow Him?

What if God reminds you, you said, “Let THY will be done” and He is taking you up on it?

What if God reminds you He never promised you heaven on earth?

What if God reminds you the world hated His Son and murdered Him and that you can expect no better than His Son received while on earth?

What if God told you He never promised to make Christians rich while on earth? What if God told you He never promised to make you rich?

What if God reminded you His Son never had a place to lay His head at night and you are no better than His Son?

What if God revealed to you, you are not nearly as important as you think you are; but more important than you ever imagined and somehow you need to learn the difference to be of the greatest worth to Him and the Kingdom?

What if God reminds you this world is not your home and to stop acting like it?

What if God says He wants you to start acting like His child instead of a spoiled religious brat?

What if God tells you; He is God and you are not?

What if God reminds you He sent His Son to die for you so you can live eternally with Him; that He has forgiven you all your sins and because of this; you belong to Him not yourself?

What if God demands you stop living for yourself and start living for Him?

What if God tells you to start seeking Him, His kingdom and His righteousness and stop seeking after your flesh?

What if God lets you see yourself as you really are?

What if being saved and delivered from eternal, everlasting punishment really is the most important “thing” of all?

What if you don’t know as much as you think you do?

What if you don’t know God and His will as much as you think you do?

What if you really don’t know God? What if?
