WE MUST NEVER SEEK TO IMPRESS GOD

Posted by George Soepboer Sr


God is a Holy God, God is an Almighty God, and God is an all-knowing God. God is a perfect God, God is a loving God, and God is-also a just God. God is God, there is no one like God, for everything else and everyone else is created by God.
( Genesis chapter 1 & 2 ).

In addition, all the creation of God can only exist by the power of God.
( Romans 11:36 ).

Therefore, we must never seek to impress God with our words when we talk to God, for we can never impress God with our impressive words that we make when we pray to God.
( Luke 18:11 ).

We also must not seek to impress God with long prayers when we pray to God, for that is also is not of God. God is not only a Holy and Almighty God, but God is also a knowing God.
God knows what we are going to say to God before we speak to God. We will never impress God with long prayer we say to God and with special phrased prayers that we say to God.
( Matthew 6:7 ).

We also must not seek to impress God with our life style that we think we live for God.
Moreover, we may not seek to impress God by the style of wardrobe we wear that we think we must wear to impress God.
( Luke 18:12 ).

We also must not seek to impress God with the work we do for God, for God has no need of our help in anyway or form, but we all need God.
( Ephesians 2:8-9 ).

We also must not seek to impress God with the things we give to God, for God has no need of anything that we give to God, for anything on this world belongs to God.
( Psalms 24:1 ).

We also must not seek to impress God with our religion, for our religion hinders us from pleasing God if through our religion we seek to please God, for then we act as if we are worthy of thanks from God.
( Luke 17:7-10 ).

If we seek to impress God in anyway or form then we will never please God, for there is nothing within us that will impress God. Anything, we do and say to impress God is hated by God, for it is the work and way of satan within us to keep us from pleasing God.
( Psalms 50:7-15 ).

If we seek to please God then we must humbly surrender our life God, and only seek the will of God. For anyone who humbly lives with God without seeking to impress God pleases God.
( Matthew 26:36-46 ).

True humility is also not a gift from us to God but gift to us from God. Therefore, we must place our life in the hands of God, for only by the grace of God can we become humble before God.
( Acts 9:1-19 ).

We must not only be molded within by God to please God, but we must also be willing to place our life in the hands of God and become still before God, for we must trust God only that impresses God. It is much more important to trust and love God then it is to stretch and strain for perfection to please God.
( Psalms 46 )( 1 Corinthians chapter 13 ). .
