2 Chronicles 24.20 asks why do you break the commandments of the Lord so that you cannot prosper?

Knowing God personally is not the means to health and wealth for few are those who have known Him so that have not also suffered at various times in their lives.

Yet these people have also known the riches that come from the presence of God – His peace, His joy, His provision, His care – Himself!

God is wonderful to know and knowing Him is living life to the full. The enemy of God has lied to men and blinded their eyes to His obvious presence in the world so that we deny and ignore Him pretending God doesn’t exist and condemning the speaking and teaching of His ways in the public sector.

What is so wrong with teaching people it is evil to murder, lie, steal, be greedy and commit adultery? Yet we murder the unborn mercilessly, we lie continuously, we breed covetousness daily and we divorce repeatedly.

All of these things cause our destruction, hardening our hearts toward one another such that we constantly see and hear violent crimes done against one another.

These acts of violence are the sole result of our godlessness and nothing more. We explain them away as mental health disorders when they are actually spirit and soul disorders because God is ignored and denied in our schools, in our government and in our media.

God’s ways do lead to prosperity of heart, soul and body. When we obey His commands we live better, our families are healthier and our society is happier and more peaceful.

God’s ways are good ways designed for us to live abundant lives.

We so desperately need to return to God, seek His face, surrender to His will and do good and then we will have the life we truly seek.
