Gods will?

Many people claim that God speaks to them, that he gives them directions. They claim to be doing God’s will. Perhaps this is an excuse for their irrational actions? Maybe they want the religious community to agree with their actions by claiming divine vision? These are simple theories that many skeptics jump to, because they make sense. This isn’t exactly the case. When a man tries to force someone off the road, it’s not because God wanted them off it. When a human being kills another, God did not guide the bullet that took their life. When a leader forces his people into an unwinnable war, it isn’t because God wants him to free the people of a foreign land. Well, those that do ‘God’s will’ aren’t exactly lying. Realistically, God’s will is not simply passed on to random individuals. However, these people do receive messages. God just isn’t the sender. Does it make sense that any God would do so much damage to the society of the beings that they supposedly created in their very image? Who would be so jealous of God’s work that they would want it destroyed? What being would bend reality to spread chaos and ignorance amongst mankind? Too many people forget that he’s still down there. And that he is still feeding. Don’t believe everything you hear. Do not trust those who claim to have spoken to God.

They are filling your head with lies. God wanted me to give all of you this message, and I believe His word will bring us to salvation. Let us save those of us who can still be saved. After all, it is God’s will.

    Read Luke 4:43. Jesus preached “the good news of the Kingdom,” and he expects his disciples to do the same.

    The clergy of Christendom are not preaching God’s Kingdom. If they do speak about the Kingdom, many refer to it as a feeling or a condition in the heart of a Christian. (Luke 17:21) They do not help people to understand that God’s Kingdom is a heavenly government with Jesus Christ as Ruler, that it is the solution to all mankind’s problems, and that it will soon remove all wickedness from this earth. (Rev. 19:11-21) Rather, they prefer to remember Jesus at Christmas and Easter. They seem to have no idea of what Jesus will accomplish as earth’s new Ruler.

    1 John 4:1 

    Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

    You said, "God wanted me to give all of you this message", which I've read, but I cannot make any sense out of it. You are rambling on about some people claiming to be doing God's will, and these people "do receive messages. God just isn’t the sender". We are none the wiser. How do we not know but that your message was NOT sent to you by God?

    Pay attention to what Jesus said about this: "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord', will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!" Matthew 7:21-23

    Many people are deceived into thinking they do God's will when demonic 'voices' urge them. You didn't even quote one verse of God's word.
