The thought of our hearts.

Do ya know anyone or have you yourself saught after signs and wonders from God Or any God? Well your in good company. The books of acts chapter 8 verses 9 through 24. Or should i have said bad company? Simon the sorcerer was a poular man.He actually did things making people happy and feeling very good about themselves.The people even said he was a great man of God.He had bewitched them with sorceries.Simon later heard Philip preaching Jesus Christ to many people and he along with the masses became believers. Then he witnesed them laying hands on the people so they might receive the Holy Ghost. He then offered them money to buy the Holy Ghost. They told him very quickly that he needed to repent. He told him straight up that his heart was not right in the sight of God."Thy money perish with thee"because simon thought the gift of God could be bought with money.Philip told him to pray to God that the thought of his heart may be forgiven.Then simon ask philip to pray for him. Oh my Goodness. I see there was NO humility towards the lord here.That was the big difference between Simon and the other people rceiving the Holy Ghost.Now i must say this is no lesson on when a person receives the Holy Ghost,but a few thoughts on Preachers who preach God is the big banker in the sky.And also people that will do anything to get into heaven except what is required.These folks are not humble towards God.Peter told this man he had neither part nor lot in this matter.Philip even told simon his thoughts were his wickedness.Oh my,oh my,oh my. FYI: This morning Lord forgive me of my sinful thoughts,my failure to live so many years without praying like i should,and trying to serve you my way instead of your way.(Amen)
