Reasoning in Your Own Mind Against the Wisdom of God!

Today I picked up a book I hadn't read for a while. Angels, God's secret Agents, by Billy Graham. As I started reading I remembered how great this little book is. Filled with insight and knowledge of The Holy scriptures. Great men of God are at a premium today. Not many around! Billy just celebrated his 95 years on earth. I remember him as a little girl,listening intently at his every word. I spent many a night at my Grandmother's. After dinner Billy would be preaching, with that thundering voice of his. I use to cry as he spoke. I knew even back then that everything he said was true. I thank God everyday for his wonderful, forceful voice, ringing in my ears. As I read his book on angels, I came to a place where he's talking about how satan works and uses his bag of tricks, to get us humans to doubt God's Word. On page 69, he describes satan's ideology of "IF." Through out all time he has sought to discredit God by making Him out a liar in the eyes of men. He never ceases trying to discredit the Word of God and to rob mankind of the strength and comfort of faith. The all time tool of satan is an "if," but God declares there are no "if," "buts" or "ands" about His program of salvation. God's plan is unalterable. So we see lucifer in the garden, tempting Eve with,"Hath God said ye shall not eat of the fruit of the tree which is in the mists of the garden......lest ye die? Genesis: 3 3. Then he says to Eve,"If you eat of the fruit of this tree "ye shall not surly die" Genesis 3:4. Satan often works by interjecting a question to raise doubts. It is deadly to doubt God's Word. Poor Eve, parleyed with the tempter. In her own mind began to doubt the truth and wisdom of God. Hear is my point, so pay ATTENTION! The poisoned tip of sin entered in when SHE REASONED in her own mind against THE WISDOM of God! Then it hit me between the eyes, this nugget of truth. If we are not truly saved and washed in His Blood and have His divine nature, we reason in our own minds what is true and what is not, BUT with a mind that is filled with the fleshly nature. Which Romans 8:7 calls it carnally minded. The carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. In others words we can not reason with His wisdom and make a righteous judgement, if we are carnally minded. We must see things the way He says, or we will render the wrong reasoning, conclusions and judgements. I have had people come into my life sent by The Lord who would not listen to His wisdom or believe His Word. I could only pray for them to be led by The Holy Spirit to be saved and have their eyes of understanding be opened. The flesh is stronger than gorilla glue! The only one to break through is The Holy Spirit! So I caution everyone to make sure they are reasoning with HIS WORDS of WISDOM and not their own.
