BUT MY SON YOU'RE NOT A ROBOT

 BUT MY SON YOU'RE NOT A ROBOT.......

Written By Merry Paul

I remember clearly years back, I was soaking in prayers, my earnest desire was to please the Lord, I didn't want to fall into any form of sin ever again. I prayed hard with intensity crying to the Lord, "help me never to fall into sin. Help me pray more, fast more, study more, witness more, anything that will make you glad Jesus, help me to walk in it more."

I prayed hard, pouring my heart to the Lord.  Suddenly a prayer point entered my heart that best describes my desire as I prayed hard. 

Breaking through an internal resistance I said "Lord I want you to control me like a robot, let my life be like a remote control in your hands, command me by pressing a button, my only desire is to please you Jesus" then came that quiet gentle voice that kept me quiet and listen to the Lord for as long as he spake.

He said "But my son you're not a robot"

Those words froze me, everywhere became super chilly, I couldn't utter a word again.

Suddenly I realized that God's desire is to have me do his will willingly and not controlled to do so. He made me understand that that was why the Holy Spirit is given; to help.

So God is not in the controlling business, but He's in the helping business.

I know a lot of people might have prayed the kind of prayer I prayed then but it's okay, you were sincere and God honors your sincerity.

 

But,

You've already read the answer to the question. 

God doesn't want us to be robotic, He wants us to will and do of his good pleasure. Our precious Holy Spirit is ever present to help in times of need.

Do have a blessed night rest

I hope you were blessed,

Let me know  

I appreciate you'll.
