“It is not Normal!”

The other day I went to the dentist and I had some small symptoms that I have learned to live with. The person cleaning my teeth said to me, “That is not Normal, you should get it checked out.”

This really made me think about how many things we let into our lives that we have learned to live with. Or we do not recognize them because we are so used to them being there. Satan is good at lulling and causing us to except and disregard things that are in our lives that are “Not Normal” for us as children of God. He does not want us to do anything about them, because he knows if we do we will do might things for God. There is a lot of little things that we just because we think it is normal and also because the enemy has lulled us to sleep. He does not want us to recognize what he is doing. Solomon 2:15 says that it is the little foxes that spoil... It is time we do not look at what the world think is normal. The normal now is not even the same as normal was 100 yrs. ago. But normal with God does not change. It is time we awake: ROm. 13:11; 1 Cor. 15:34; Eph. 5:14. We must be on guard = 2 Peter 3:17 (Amp.) Let me warn you therefore, beloved, that knowing these things beforehand, you should be on your guard, lest you be carried away by the error of lawless and wicked [persons and] fall from your own [present] firm condition [your own steadfastness of mind].

We might feel alone, BUT, Heb. 11 & 12, we are not alone! Heb. 13:5(Amp.) I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (
relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]

Live worldly = Not normal = Col. 2:20
Being Tossed = Not Normal = Eph. 4:14
Poor = Not Normal = 2 Cor. 8:9
Sick = Not Normal = Is. 53:5 , 1 Peter 2:24
Lost = Not Normal = 2 Peter 3:9
Living in strife = Not Normal = Phil. 2:3; Rom. 13:13

There is many more, add to the list of things that we allow in our lives because we just think, “OH that is Normal”. Don’t stop fighting the Normal things. Normal things of the world, is not normal for the people of God. Live today as though God is God! Satan will try to convince you that God’s word is not true. He will steer you away for what God calls Normal. He will keep you focused on things God says to forget.

2 Corinthians 13:5  (Amp)Examine and test and evaluate your own selves to see whether you are holding to your faith and showing the proper fruits of it. Test and prove yourselves [Not Christ]. Do you not yourselves realize and know [thoroughly by an ever-increasing experience] that Jesus Christ is in you--unless you are [counterfeits] disapproved on trial and rejected?

Are you truly walking in the things of Christ or are you a counterfeit? Examine yourself, see if you are excepting things in your life that you have become familiar with and think now, “That is Normal”. Praise God for His word and His way of being Normal. Reject the Normal of the world!!!!!!
