The IF Factor: IF You change the Formula THEN You Change the Result.

This Phrase is attributed to Albert Einstein: Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I confess that before i was insane (even if i didn't look like), because i did, as Einstein said, the same things over and over again expecting different results. For example: I was addicted to pornography but i honestly believed and hoped that God would deliver me from it even if i continued to deal with pornographic materials (movies, magazines, etc.). In the Bible, we can see that every promise that God made (even if it is not explicit), is conditioned to obedience. For example: 2 Chronicles 7:14. It is sad to hear many people talking about "revival" here in America and seeing different formulas being applied to get the result (healing) that can only be achieved if we apply God's formula, which is 2 Chronicles 7:14. Our nation will never be healed by "moral correctness" or "social justice", it will only be healed IF we apply God's formula for Healing. If you consider Jesus' Parable of the Sower, OUR HEART is the land and if we aplly that formula in our lives we WILL BE HEALED. I can testify before God that His formula works because when i applied His formula (with His help) i was completely healed (read the Post: Personal Testimony: New Life). Are you a slave of sin right now? Have you been trying to leave the sinful lifestyle without success? Do you really think that there is no hope for you anymore? Are you feeling like you are in a desert? Deuteronomy 8:2. All start with HUMBLENESS: Matthew 23:12. If you are not willing to HUMBLE YOURSELF God will not be willing to take you out of the desert! That's the FIRST STEP. The SECOND STEP is to PRAY and SEEK GOD'S FACE: Proverbs 8:17; Jeremiah 29:13. If you don't seek God with ALL your heart you will never find Him. The THIRD STEP is TURNING FROM YOUR WICKED WAYS (SINS): Hebrews 12:4. There will be a battle to abandon your sin, because even when we are been set free, we still are used to do those things (sin in this case) and we must fight against it, that's what they call the "habitual sin". Just like Joshua and the Israelites had to fight to possess the land, you will have to fight to possess your new life (promise land), but the same promise God made to Joshua is yours: Joshua 1:9.
