Can it be possible to do that which seems natural and be out of God's will? Certainly, if God has already told you no to certain behaviors. The question is "Were you listening?"
Ezra 10:10-12 (New International Version)
" Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, 'You have been unfaithful; you have married foreign women, adding to Israel's guilt. Now make confession to the LORD, the God of your fathers, and do his will. Separate yourselves from the peoples around you and from your foreign wives. ' The whole assembly responded with a loud voice: 'You are right! We must do as you say'."
Ezra 10:10-12 (New International Version)
" Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, 'You have been unfaithful; you have married foreign women, adding to Israel's guilt. Now make confession to the LORD, the God of your fathers, and do his will. Separate yourselves from the peoples around you and from your foreign wives. ' The whole assembly responded with a loud voice: 'You are right! We must do as you say'."
We want to judge God for this harsh command. Those poor people ! But, what we fail to see is the consequences of the mixed DNA spiritually. God knew the end results of such disobedience and He was calling for them to repent and come back to His spiritual DNA.
Are there things in your life that God has spoken no to? Do you try to justify what you are doing as being natural and just doing what you feel is right? Check it out ! Does the actions you walk in have consequences to your spiritual DNA? If so, then stop the illegitimate actions....because they will produce offspring that you will regret !!
