When God Says No!
Matthew 5:37 - "But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay; for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil."
Genesis 1:26 - "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepth upon the earth."
"Adam & Eve", were created in the "Image", of "God". Everyone, after them, were "Born"! "God", has "Dominion" over "Everything"! We have "Dominon", over "Everything", except "People"! So,as we deal with "People", we are to say "Yes, No, or Not Now"! Even, saying "Not Now", fits into the scripture!
Some, people say "Maybe"! Mankind introduced that word, "Not God"!
There was a tree "Forbidden", to "Adam". He was not to eat from it. But, he did!
Genesis 2:17
"God", could have taken "Jesus", of the "Cross"! But, he said "No"!
Sometimes, we can go to "God", several times and he still says "No"!
2 Corinthians 12:9 It may not be the answer, that you expect!
When "God" says "No", to the "Devil", it will be as "God Says"! Ther is no "Condemnation"! Romans 8:1
The "Weapon", may be "Formed"! But, it won't "Prosper"! Isaiah 54:17
Others, may call you a "Sinner"! But, "God", says that they are mine"! Believe "God"!
2 Corinthians 5:17
