Flip the switch!

Q: So, you have just been born again in Christ...what are you going to do now?
A: Go to Disney World, of course!

No.  Let's be serious shall we.  It's so easy for believers of long time to judge the new believers.  I recently heard a sermon about judgment. It was from Matthew 7:1-5. In it the pastor clarified the scripture and stated, that we as new, right in the middle, or old believers, mustn't judge other believers or non-believers' hearts.  So what does this mean?  It means that when it comes to judgment of another, only our Father in Heaven is capable of judging fully and wholly.  All we are asked to do according to scripture is to judge the situation.  Evaluate it to the best of our ability to identify what's happening.  Once discerned, you make a decision whether to be a part of it or not.  There is no way for any of us to know why the situation took place, what is in the other person's heart, or what their feelings/thoughts are.  So stop assuming!

Now that we have established the base ground for the topic at hand, let's begin examining.  When an individual comes to Christ for the first time, or is growing in Christ, he/she is filled with His spirit. His spirit works within us to make us anew.  The old becomes dead and the new life, new body, new mind comes forth.  However, it isn't like flipping a switch. So for those that judge and say; 'how can you not love everyone?  Christ asks us to love one another. He wants us to live in fellowship and encourage one another,' I say, give us time.  For it is said:

"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heard of flesh.

I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them."

Ezekiel 36:26-27

Does this say I should immediately start healing people, changing water into wine, raising the dead, and loving everyone I encounter?  Not really.  God places His spirit within us to help us get to Christ's statutes.  The Spirit leads us away from our old ways.  He allows us to understand what we once did not.  He heals our brokenness for us to live within Him.  He erases our past and shows us the bright light of the future.  A future, where we will be able to love one another and live in the Kingdom of Heaven.  But it's a process folks.  It doesn't happen as soon as you emerge from the water of baptism.  Have faith though...it will come to fruition, for He promises us that.  It is written:

"Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 

For he who has died has been freed from sin. 

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him."

Romans 6:6-8

"Whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.

And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.

He who find his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it."

Matthew 10:32, 38-39

I say to you, do not be dismayed my dear believers who find it difficult to love each and every man and woman alive in this world. It doesn't mean you are not Christlike.  It simply means that the Holy Spirit still has work to do within you.  Give it time, patience, prayer, and supplication. For what is written is true and it will come to pass.  

Amen!  

   

God Loves Me for Who I am -

When we say that God loves me for who I am, are we absolving ourselves from any and all responsibilities we have as believers?  Granted it is true, that God does indeed love us.  He sent Christ to the cross knowing He will bear our sins and die for us. All for the sake of forgiving us and accepting us into His kingdom.  It is the greatest love there is.  Unconditional and never ending...

However, does that mean that we are free to do whatever we want with no consequence?  With no one holding us accountable and/or no fear of 'not' being accepted into the Kingdom of Heaven?  No my dear readers no.  Though we are His chosen people and are forgiven when we repent, that does not allow us to continue committing sin.  We mustn't allow any damage to our relationship with God. It has been proven throughout history that God punishes those who are disobedient. Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, all people at the time of Noah, and the people at the time of the 10 plagues of Egypt; to name a few punishments.  And please don't give me some nonsensical comment about the difference between the Old Testament God and the New Testament God, because God is God no matter the age or times...think about it.  To further prove this point, the following scripture is taken from the New Testament about the wrath of God on those who do as they please.

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth."

Romans 1:18

"Then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment."

2 Peter 2:9

“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few."

Matthew 7:13-14

"Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, 'Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.' To the contrary, 'if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.' Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."

Romans 12: 17-21

Do you still not see?  Do you deny that it is by God's grace alone we are forgiven and by His mercy that we are accepted into His kingdom? There is nothing you and I could do ourselves to warrant His undying love for us. As typically, our own doing and our own understanding leads us to much trouble. What we ought to do is listen to His guidance for us.  Follow His plan for our lives.  Pray for His will to be done.  Most of all shadow the footsteps of His beloved...the One who knew no sin. Only then can we live truly righteous and devoted lives. Devoted to Him, His Word, and His Spirit.  

Yes my friends, God does love us for who we are...but we cannot continue on the path of sin and expect that which is for the true believers only. The Kingdom of God!  

Food for your soul -

Ever feel hungry when you know you've eaten.  As if, no matter how much or what you chow down on, it leaves you feeling unsatisfied.  So what does being full really mean?  The widely used translation is; being completely filled, containing all that can be held, or filled to the utmost capacity. Now let me ask again.  Are you really full when you've eaten all you can eat? If so, then why is that lingering unfulfilled feeling still there? Is it really food that you need or is the empty feeling within you in need of something else.  Something bigger than mere sustenance.  We can cloud our lives with abundance of activities, work, school, love, family, friendships, and my new favorite (as in not!) social media...or you could be the outdoorsy kind and are into all sort of sports and hiking.  Yet at the end of the day, you're still sad, lonely and irked, and you simply can't figure out why.  Varying opinions exist on said topic and you can form your own either based on research, or based on how you feel. If you have read any of my writing, you will know, I will base it off of scripture.  So here it goes.

Our soul needs nourishment just like out body does.  But our soul is not satisfied with things of this world.  Our soul needs something greater.  It needs to believe in something.  Hold on to something that is sustainable.  And what possibly can be greater than God. There are many out there who would disagree with that statement. They will counter the statement with various ideas of science and of existence in general.  Some if not many within my own family.  To them I say, you believe what you feel is right, and let me speak of what my heart tells me is correct!  For it is written:

"I am the bread of life.  He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst."

John 6:35

"I will satiate the soul of the priests with abundance, and My people shall be satisfied with My goodness says the Lord."

Jeremiah 31:14

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled."

Matthew 5:6

I have spoken previously about those who; worship idols, rely on their own wits, and feel secure with the money they have acquired.  To those, I say, if you are full with these things then praise be to God. However if you aren't feeling complete regardless of all your worldly possessions, then perhaps there is a better way, eh? Would you give the one God your attention?  Believe it or not, He is looking for you.  He wants to find you.  He wants to fill you with happiness and joy of not this world, but a better world.  A world yet to come.  He knows your deepest desires and He alone can fulfill them.  So why not give it a try?  I suppose it would be too discerning of me if I say, you won't be disappointed.  But you won't be!  

Repentance- What, How and Why?

What is repentance? It is the activity of reviewing one's actions and feeling contrition or regret for past wrongs.  It generally involves a commitment to personal change and resolving to live a more responsible and humane life.

How does one repent?

1 - Accepting your sin/wrongdoing; be humble, feel and trust God in your heart, think about what you have done, think about why what you did was wrong, repent for the right reasons, and read the Holy Bible (text).

2 - Making things right; consult with your spiritual adviser, change your behavior, get help, make right the problems you caused, use the lesson you have learned, and help others to not make your mistakes.  

3 - Embracing Forgiveness; live a life that pleases God, formally enter into your religious community (umm, not sure i agree), be active in protecting your soul, accept that you will make future mistakes, and live a good life.

Why should one repent? The reason one should repent is because God wants to prove that He can be a better God to you.  He wants to be so intensely close that He becomes a better refuge, a much greater strength, a surpassing glory.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What does this mean?  Can it be further simplified?  I think so...  But to break it down into its simplest form, I need to ask a few questions of you.  Do you believe in the kingdom of heaven?  If so, do you desire to be a part of it?  If you answered no to either of the above, then you should stop reading now as there is no hope for you.  Alright alright, I am just kidding, you don't need to get all upset about it...  There is hope for everyone still.  However if you answered yes to either of the questions above, then to you all repentance means your way into the kingdom of heaven.  Well it isn't quite that simple I suppose.  (Gosh, can you make it a little more confusing)...  As you can see from the answer to the second question above, there are steps to repentance.  I am stating that repentance is the gateway to the kingdom of heaven.

It's so difficult to let go of everything and accept God into our lives.  You say 'what about my dreams', 'what about my ambitions', and 'what about my loves'.  All idolatries in my humble opinion if you place these things before God I say.  Start every day with God first and He will direct your paths and lead you to your dreams, ambitions, and loves.  For He cares for you!  It is written:

"Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out."

Acts 3:19

"The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."

2 Peter 3:9

"The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent"

Acts 17:30

   

Will you not consider it?  A person who knocks on your door to sell girl scout cookies, you consider. Yet you will not consider God calling you to Him, asking you to repent?   

Discipleship and Seeking the Lost -

Do you shy away when someone asks you questions about your faith or your beliefs?  Whatever they may be.  Do you question what you believe?  Is it hard to explain to others, or is it that you yourself don't understand your own belief system?

I was once married.  The man I was married to believed without question.  However when I used to ask him questions about his beliefs, he was never able to answer.  He simply used to say, I don't ask questions...I just believe.  It's amazing to have such faith, no?  Yes...and No.  Why no, you may be asking.  Doesn't God tell us to have faith and love Him unconditionally?  Yes, of course.  But He doesn't want us to be ignorant about our faith and beliefs either.  He wants us to seek out the non-believers and the lost, so that we can preach the good news of the love of God to them.  How in the world are we supposed to do that if we don't understand ourselves?  Does that make more sense now?  I assure you my friends, it's good to ask questions and to understand fully.  It's good to gain knowledge about your faith.  Don't roll your eyes and walk away when someone tries to find out about your belief system.  Stand firm in your faith and tell them you're a disciple of Christ. For the Lord says to us in Luke 15:3-7

"Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them.  Doesn't he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?  And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home.  Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; for I have found my lost sheep'. I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent."

How is this relevant?  Let's dig into it a bit shall we?  Pastor David Hawkins said in his sermon on said topic that this parable refers to how God seeks out the sinners.  And don't you say, well this isn't for me then, as we're all sinners.  We should be delighted that God Himself seeks us out.  And as the disciples of Christ we need to seek those that have yet to feel the light of God shine on them.  Don't corner yourselves with other believers, as that goes against what Christ asked us to do.  Jesus said, 

 "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit"

Matthew 28:19

Please don't sit back and watch the non-believers put down your faith.  Do you not see what's happening in our world?  Do you not see what folks are doing in the name of their own faiths?  The Muslim extremists want to destroy Christianity and the followers of Christ.  Are you going to still sit back and not speak up?  Will you allow your faith to be destroyed?  Take advantage of your freedoms Americans.  Not many people are given this luxury.  I for one aim to take the liberties given to me and preach about the good news.  For I have been saved and forgiven, by the grace of God.  As once I was lost, but now I am found...was blind but now I see.  Hallelujah and Praise be to God!!!!  

"I stand, with arms high and heart abandoned.  For the One who gave it all.

I stand, my soul Lord to your surrendered.  All I am is Yours."

I will speak the truth about the One and only God and will not be dismayed by the evil one.  For he lurks around for his opportunity.  I have said many of times before that it's a daily battle folks.  Just because you have accepted the truth doesn't mean you're saved forever.  You still can be led astray by the enemy if you allow him in.  So stay vigilant and aware of your belief, don't shy away from telling others, and don't be led astray at any time by the enemy.  Keep studying the Word of God, and preach the good Word to all you have access to and then beyond.  That's the only way we can find the lost...

Humility vs. Self Promotion -

It's funny honestly.  How very easy it is to speak of others and say, "can you believe what they are doing?" or "do you see what they are all about?" or better yet, "I cannot believe how selfish so and so is..."

I have been doing what I can for the past year; to speak the truth about God, to preach humility, and to bring an understanding of the word of God to whoever I can. However while doing this, I remained unchanged myself.  It is so easy to get up on a soap box and tell others to lead better lives.  So very easy to pass judgement on them for their actions and choices.  Never to have to do a self evaluation. Never to look within for faults.  Never to search within for brokenness.  Why?  I am surely teaching the word of God to the lost aren't I?  Doesn't that automatically make me better? Don't I naturally belong in the Kingdom of Heaven.  Or am I like the pharisees of the time of Jesus Christ. May God have mercy on my soul, I sure hope I am not that bad....am I?        

It is said that the pharisees were the individuals who knew the laws of the Jewish religion and its traditions.  People sought their guidance on matters of principle and religious teachings.  The scripture has very harsh words for the pharisees.  It is written:

"Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat, so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger. They do all their deeds to be seen by others..." 

Matthew 23:1-5 

As I just said, may God have mercy on my soul if I have acted as a pharisee.  I listen to the word of God in sermons every day, study the Bible, listen to worship music constantly, pray, and yes preach as often as I can.  Now that doesn't sound bad, does it?  No, but alongside all these noble things, I have sadly been self promoting.  I have been so fused over material things.  So vexed by finances and inconsequential worldly troubles.  So bogged down by my own self worth and physical appearance that I did not even realize how it's impacting me as well as those around me.  What's funny is that I speak of hypocrisy, whilst being a hypocrite myself.  I myself must remember that God says: 

"Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time He may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you."

1 Peter 5:7

"No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money"

Matthew 6:24

"For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Luke 14:11

So today I vow to live the life I preach.  It all starts with ourselves folks.  How am I to convince others not to put their hands in the fire, when I have done so repeatedly.  I vow to not only talk the talk, but walk the walk as well.  Therefore my gracious readers (all two of you...) I will stand firm in my faith and know that I am no longer a hypocrite.  I am the daughter of God.  The One who created me.  He the creator of the heavens and the earth.  He who knows me by name.  He has a purpose for me in this lifetime, and I aim to fulfill that purpose.  Though I yet not know what it is, I shall humble myself in His presence and seek His mercy, forgiveness and guidance through my new path.  For God is not an option, He is a necessity.

May He forgive me for my wrongdoings and allow me to follow in the footsteps of those He is pleased with.  In His mighty name I pray.  Amen!    

Prophets--Signs--Faith

I spoke of what a rational minded individual with average intelligence would do when presented with a radical idea in my last post.  It's easy for us to judge those before us for rejecting the prophets of God.  Ever consider whether you would act differently?  What if you have already rejected someone who spoke the word of God?  Keep in mind, not every man or woman who says they communion with God is telling the truth.  For it is written in 1 John 4:1 - 

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

But how do you know who is from God and who is not?  What determining factors are there?  The truth is that the Bible, the Torah, as well as the Quran speaks of signs of coming prophets.  Yet we do not believe.  Our forefathers didn't believe either.  Some of us consider ourselves of superior minds and intelligence and look harshly upon those who believe something other than what we feel to be correct. Take Mormonism or Later Day Saints church movement for example.  They believe that Joseph Smith was directed by angels to recover a book written in gold plates containing the religious history of an ancient people.  Prophet or fake?  Or take the example of Alexander Dowie who claimed to be the spiritual return of biblical prophet Elijah. Whatever happened to him?  Perhaps consider John Hugh Smyth-Pigott who claimed that he was the second coming of the messiah and was god, not man.  Where is he now? I am certain if researched, many more will be found.  So again remember this:

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

Matthew 7:15

So then how does one recognize the truth?  The answer is simple my friends.  Be aware of the word of God in scriptures.  Study them and know them well.  In scriptures the foretelling of prophets and the signs that will appear are written.  After educating yourself, pay attention to the teachings of the so called prophets.  Is their message leading you to God or away from Him?  Do they prophecy in the name of God, or are they fortunetellers looking for your wallet?  Are they seeking fame for themselves or are they giving all fame, praise and glory to God?  Is their healing given only in return for profits or do they speak the truth of the gospels without wanting anything in return?  For Jesus said to His disciples in Luke 9:3-5

"He said to them, “Take nothing for the journey, neither walking stick, nor sack, nor food, nor money, and let no one take a second tunic. Whatever house you enter, stay there and leave from there. And as for those who do not welcome you, when you leave that town, shake the dust from your feet in testimony against them.”

In scripture it is also said about false prophets that: 

"For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive."

Romans 16:18

To be a true messenger or God, the messenger must display the characteristics of godliness.  He must be pious and righteous.  Not just in his words, but in his actions as well.  My dear readers, your best defense against being naivete is to arm yourselves with the word of God.  Know it by heart.  Know the truth.  Don't be fooled.  At the same time however, don't be reluctant in recognizing someone who is indeed preaching the word of God.  Prophet or not, trust in the true word of God, no matter who speaks it.  For it is written: 

"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth."

John 1:14

Alas, whatever you do my friends, please don't be hypocrites.  Don't speak ill of those who disbelieved and mocked Christ on the cross, and then in the same breath mock those speaking the same word of God that Christ taught.  For we must be vigilant and on guard.  It is a daily struggle and a war against the enemy who is forever waiting for an opportunity to attack.  Attack in the form of discouragement, or in the form of false prophet-hood.  Do not give him cause to enter your lives.  Be alert in your hearts and minds and do not be dismayed ever.  For the Lord our Savior is with us always....Amen!!!

Religious hypocrisy!

“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven."
Matthew 6:1

Ever wonder what you would have done in the days of the prophets?  If someone claimed to be a messenger of God.  What would you do and say?  What if it happened now?  Would you believe them and take them seriously?  Would you ask for proof?  Would you ask them to perform miracles? If you look at history, it shows us that people not only question, but usually mock the prophets when they are preaching the message of God.  It's only after their death do most realize the errors of their ways, and begin following their teachings.  I heard in a sermon and nodded in agreement when the Pastor said, "people approve the wicked deeds of their fathers and adorn the tombs of those their fathers killed."

What is the point of this you may be asking.  Well if you have read enough of my work, you know I always have a point.  The subject matter that mostly all religious and pious people want to avoid is the point here.  The point of religious hypocrisy.  I have talked about said topic within my other writings, but it's such a big issue that it deserved it's own blog. Have you noticed that all religious folks are offended when questioned, corrected or directed about their beliefs and practices?  Offended and defensive.  Their priorities are in the wrong place. They desire worldly things, and chase after appearances and the non-essentials.  They practice ceremonial offerings and prayers when their hearts are full of envy and malice.  They lack any concern for others and have become complacent in their teachings.  However, these same individuals are the ones to condemn others and their ways.  Do you disagree?  Have you too not seen this?

Why should I be concern with this, you ask.  Live and let live, you say.  It's not my problem, you say. Well I say, have you kept anyone from knowing God's word?  Perhaps imposed law upon them and not let them know God's grace and forgiveness?  Then my friends, you too are hypocrites!  Yes, I speak to you.  You, the one who tells your neighbor to not take the Lord's name in vain, yet yourself worship money and other worldly idols.  Is that not blasphemy too?  Oh you hypocrites, look within you before pointing out the sins of others.  For the Lord says:

"You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye."
Matthew 7:5

"You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said: ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”
Matthew 15: 7-9

"Do you suppose, O man, you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God?"
Romans 2:3

So why then do we insist on condemning others when we too are condemned by such actions.  Why is it easier to see the errors of others but feel ourselves sinless.  Truth be told, we should all consider this.

I am guilty...

when I am interested more in outward ceremony then hard commitment

when I am interested more in religious tradition rather than biblical teaching

when I am interested more in appearances then the approval of God

May the Lord in heaven forgive us, guide us and allow us to remain humble while we seek the word of God, and not worldly pleasures.  Amen!

Don't blame God...

You're walking down the street to the corner store to get bread and milk, and all of the sudden you hear, "Allahu Akbar!"  Your immediate reaction...duck under cover.  You're watching a movie and the sound of the Muslim "adhan" starts playing.  Your immediate reaction...roll your eyes and wonder when the killings will begin.

Ever wonder why?  Ever do anything more than wonder?  Perhaps research the beliefs of the said religion?  This isn't going to be a lecture of tolerance and acceptance of other religions and beliefs, as you all very well know my stance on organized religion.  However I will take a moment to explain the two phrasing mentioned.

Allahu Akbar translate to God is great! and an adhan is the Islamic call to worship.  What we need to dig deeper into isn't what the two mean, but what they represent and how they have been manipulated for purposes other than their original intent.  It's a marvelous thing to praise God.  Everyone should praise Him.  But when extremists say Allahu Akbar, it isn't for the purpose of truly praising the one God, but to instill fear.  Fear of death.  As their actions following the praising of God is full of death and destruction.  How sad that two very opposite concepts have been connected this way: the concept of praise for God and the concept of death.  How very sad indeed.  As for the adhan, it was initiated for the purpose of informing believers of the faith to come worship at the appropriately allotted times as dictated.  Now it represents malice to the outsiders, as it has made it's way to be connected with terrorist actions.

Why associate God with your terrorism people?  Why in one breath give praise to Him and in the next blow up a building full of His children?  Why call people to come worship when the next moment you are blowing up another's place of worship?  Think over these simple questions.  Simple but frightfully honest and thought provoking questions.  Did you forget that God is Peace?  For He has said;

"You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You." Isaiah 26:3

"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in body; and be thankful." 

Colossians 3:15

"The Lord will give strength to His people;

The Lord will bless His people with peace."

Psalm 29:11

"Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you.  Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

John 14:27

So then why are you blaming God for your decisions.  Why are you pinning your treacherous murders on Him.  Why are you making claims of servitude when you miss the greatest of His commandments of, "thou shalt not kill." How can you attest that these killings are directed by the one God, when He commands that; "...you shalt love thy neighbor as thyself..." Mark 12:31
Why hold God responsible for your own recklessness.  Why say that God will grant you heaven after your infidelity.

Why? Why I ask of those out there who at this very moment are conspiring to shoot someone down, or are planning an insidious mass murder, and/or are taking the Lord's name is vain.  Why should you be forgiven for such actions?  My God in heaven sees all and nothing is nor can be hidden from Him.  His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Amen.
