turboJOY! No Cat and Mouse game!

• 23May2020

Some folk think they need to bargain with God:

“Don’t bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need. This isn’t a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we’re in. If your child asks for bread, do you trick him with sawdust? If he asks for fish, do you scare him with a live snake on his plate? As bad as you are, you wouldn’t think of such a thing. You’re at least decent to your own children. So don’t you think the God who conceived you in love will be even better?”

Matthew 7:7-11 (MSG)

Here is my declaration over you:

YOU don’t bargain with God. You ask directly for what you need. This isn’t a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game you’re in. You don’t give your child sawdust when he asks for bread, nor do you give him a live snake when he asks for fish. You wouldn’t think of such a thing, as bad as you are. You’re at least decent to your own children. YOU now know the God who conceived you in love is even better!

Here is a declaration that you can declare over yourself as often as you like:

I don’t bargain with God. I ask directly for what I need. I’m not in a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game. I don’t give my child sawdust when he asks for bread, nor do I give him a live snake when he asks for fish. I wouldn’t think of such a thing, as bad as I am. At least I am decent to my own children. I now know the God who conceived me in love is even better!
